Vampire
電気式華憐音楽集団 Lyrics

The lyrics of "Vampire" by the Japanese electronic music group 電気式華憐音楽集団 or Denkishiki Karen Ongaku Shuudan are evocative and poetic, with a distinctly gothic and dark atmosphere. The song uses vivid imagery to describe the world of the vampire, and the haunting chorus of "Endless Dalk" adds to the sense of eternal darkness and despair. The first stanza conjures up the image of a blue flame illuminating the awakening vampire's sight, with black wings overlaid on the white moon. The vampire's consciousness is drawn to madness, as it is fascinated by the lure of insanity. The second stanza describes the vampire wandering the mortal world, surrounded by the murderous intent of those it preys upon. The endless cycle of violence and death is punctuated by fleeting moments of doubt and questioning, as the vampire asks, "For whom must I become a sacrifice?" The final stanza repeats the haunting refrain of "Endless Dalk," as the vampire claims its eternal quest for blood and asks what meaning can be found in life beyond that need.
