Finally the blood spell had taken it's
Toll and I was left without a soul
It's the bloodthirst
Who would have thought that this
Could have happened to me?

My heart is empty, the mirror shows no reflection
New found powers craving total satisfaction
It's the bloodthirst
I'm knocking at your window
Please let me in
I'm damned before I'm saved
So I'm killing everything in sight
