One, Two, Three, Four
I bid the sunshine adieu! In 1872
When the girl that I liked
Made me a creature of the night
At the midsummer hullabaloo
On the shortest night of the year
I told him he'd nothing to fear
I bit his throat and crooned as he choked
"Together forever my dear"
So disquieted by the quiet in my chest
When I put on my jacket and my vest
And my vampire bride, and my gun at my side
We set off for the Pacific Northwest
We traveled the country by train
Masking our murders in midnight and rain
We made for a coast with no resident ghosts
To start a new life without shame
But that red, hot, salt taste of blood
In my mouth is hard to give up
They whisper we're monsters, I fear that it's true
But am I a monster to you?
ย
We built a small home by a stream
Deep in the dark woods where the water was clean
We'd put on our best and entertain guests
Where no one could hear the screams
But eventually sport starts to bore
Seems every new throat I'd tasted before
I wanted to find prey of a new kind
But my partner in crime wasn't sure
We'd had lads, we'd had lasses like lambs to the slaughter
The baker, the banker, the governor's daughter
"You monsters! You demons!" They scream as they bleed
But vampires like all things must feed!
But one night we took it too far
We propositioned a nun 'neath a blanket of stars
My wife lost her life to that daughter of Christ
I still to this day bare the scars
ย
Alone I couldn't face what I'd done, so
I bit me a husband, I bit me a son
A family of three, and happy are we
I loathe what I have become
