Nosferatu
Deathlike Silence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Which gives him the might
Over lives of the morthals
And give life eternal
He is the undead
Condemned to the living death
And eternal hunger
For living blood
And the powers of the storm
He leads the force of the darkness
And the beasts of the earth
He's the prince, prince, prince of the night
He is the last, last, last of his kind
He stalks at the nights
And rests at the daytime
Gaining his power
In his vampire's box
He appears as a mist
Deeper than nightfog
With deathlike silence
Vanish he will
He's the prince, prince, prince of the night
He is the last, last, last of his kind
The lyrics of Deathlike Silence's song "Nosferatu" portray the image of a vampire who is all-powerful, immortal, and eternal hunger of living blood. The song starts with the lines "Enter the night, which gives him the might, over lives of the mortals, and give life eternal." These lines refer to the vampire gaining his power and eternal life by feeding on the blood of humans. The next lines "He is the undead, condemned to the living death, and eternal hunger, for living blood" depict that the vampire is no longer alive, but he is not dead either and is cursed to live forever with the eternal desire for human blood.
As the song progresses, we learn about the vampire's abilities and how he manipulates them to his advantage. The lines "He commands the winds and the powers of the storm, he leads the force of the darkness and the beasts of the earth" illustrate that the vampire has the power to control nature around him and also commands the beasts of the earth to do his bidding. The last few lines of the song describe him as the ultimate ruler of the night, the last of his kind, who exists in a state of death-like silence, and he can vanish into the night as easily as he appears.
Overall, the lyrics of "Nosferatu" provide a vivid portrayal of a vampire who is an enigmatic and fearsome creature who commands the forces of the night, is capable of manipulating the natural world, and has an insatiable thirst for blood.

He can transform into a mist
Deeper than nightfog
His mist form is thicker than the fog of night
With deathlike silence
He moves silently, like death itself
Vanish he will
He can disappear suddenly
