The song "Cold" by The Vampire Lestat is a dark and sensual exploration of desire that follows the themes of the band's namesake character from Anne Rice's novel, "The Vampire Chronicles." The song opens with the lines "We kiss the stars, we writhe, we are" which set the tone for the erotic and intense imagery that follows. The lyrics suggest a connection between the celestial and corporeal, as if the passion and hunger of the vampires is as vast and limitless as the universe itself.
The lyrics then transition to an explicit expression of desire, with the repeated refrain of "your name, desire, your flesh, we are." Here, the vampires are claiming ownership over their prey, marking them with their desires and claiming that their very existence is intertwined with the ones they feed upon. The next verse explores the sensations of the moment, with descriptions of laughter and humming mixed with silence and the singer's loss of control.
The song closes with a final repetition of the chorus, with the sparse instrumentation and subdued vocals creating an eerie and hypnotic atmosphere. Overall, "Cold" is a haunting and evocative piece that captures the intense passions and insatiable hunger of the vampire mythology.

Antonioย Banderas character was Armand. But you are very right. Normally vampires keep to themselves but everything you can think of can be use with vampires, like porn.
@tiffanynelson1467
Natalee Anderson good on him
@chazzy288
I have to agree with you. I thought he did an excellent job with his part. He made his part absolutely believeable; brought the character to life. Best vampire part I've ever seen.
@Popyee102003
That's why he's so emotional, even as a vampire without a heart_ He still feels..from the Moon.
