VAMPIRE
Khallice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deep inside the night,
Flies a vulture of a vampire,
Searching blood on lamb's neck.
Losing my human reason,
I can't be stoped.
Deep inside the night,
There are demons dancing,
Deep inside my heart,
They say I must avoid,
Touching the light.
All I ever knew about the sun,
Or somebody told me or
I heard by chance.
All I ever heard about the light,
Say that this power
Can break up my heart.
I've got to get that blood that,
Keep's my wandering death alive,
Killing many souls
And bringing all the darkness
To our side
The song "Vampire" by Khallice is a poignant reflection on darkness and the uncontrollable thirst for blood that defines vampires. The lyrics are deeply visceral and paint a vivid picture of this creature of the night, as the vulture of a vampire searches for blood on lambs' necks. The singer of the song is losing their human reason, and they cannot be stopped as they seek to quench their thirst. They look for peace within the darkness and the demons that lie within their heart, warning them to avoid touching the light.
This song is an insightful commentary on how addiction can overtake our willpower and control, making it impossible to resist the urges we feel within us. The vampiric persona of the song is a metaphor for this, showing how we become creatures of the night, consumed by our need for whatever it is that we crave. The lyrics touch on how we become isolated and alone in our addiction, feeding off the misery of others, killing many souls, and bringing darkness to our side.
Overall, "Vampire" is a powerful song that perfectly captures the essence of what it means to be consumed by addiction. It is full of raw emotion and paints a haunting image of the creature of the night as a metaphor for our own struggles with temptation and darkness.

Deep inside the night,
In the dark of the night,
Flies a vulture of a vampire,
A creature, like a vulture, that feeds on blood,
Searching blood on lamb's neck.
Looking for fresh blood to drink,
Losing my human reason,
Becoming less like a human,
I can't be stopped.
I cannot be prevented from doing what I want,
Deep inside the night,
Again, in the dark of the night,
I look for peace which I cannot find,
Trying to find peace but not succeeding,
There are demons dancing,
Evil spirits moving around,
Deep inside my heart,
In the depths of my soul,
They say I must avoid,
They tell me to stay away from,
Touching the light.
Coming into contact with goodness or purity,
All I ever knew about the sun,
Everything I had heard about the sun,
Or somebody told me or
Either from what someone else said,
I heard by chance.
Or something I happened to hear,
All I ever heard about the light,
All I had ever heard about goodness or holiness,
Say that this power
Suggests that this force,
Can break up my heart.
Can tear apart my soul,
I've got to get that blood that,
I must find the blood that,
Keeps my wandering death alive,
Keeps my undead existence going,
Killing many souls
Taking the lives of many,
And bringing all the darkness
And causing evil beyond measure,
To our side.
Bringing it all over to the side of the undead.
