Carmilla... Whispers From The Grave
Lord Vampyr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The winter renders me sad, task to her pale skin
In the nights of storm
The rain designs her face on the glasses of the window of my room!
I walk between the trees, I feel your presence
Yours tomb is covered from the leaves
I remember your sweet smile, your deep looks
Carmilla. whispers from the grave!!!
Wide awake me in my bed.
But my hands are dirty of earth
I feel its scent on my skin
Two bleeding holes on my neck
She has carried to me in the reign of darkness
I feel myself to suffocate.
I can see also in the dark of my room
Now I'm a vampire
I walk between the trees, I am coming from you
Now. your tomb is open
I'm awaiting for you, your sweet lips
It's not a dream. I hear. whispers from the grave
Carmilla. is being raised from the tomb
Come to me. my dark love
The lyrics of Lord Vampyr's song "Carmilla... Whispers From The Grave" depict the obsession of the singer with Carmilla, a female vampire who has turned him into a vampire himself. The imagery of the lyrics is dark and intriguing, as it describes the singer's memories of Carmilla's scent, her pale skin, and her face appearing on the window glasses during rainy nights. The singer seems to be haunted by her memory, as he hears whispers from the grave and feels her presence. The description of his own transformation into a vampire is also quite vivid, with a reference to two bleeding holes on his neck.
The overall theme of the song is the allure and danger of the undead, and the seductive power of the vampire. The lyrics create a sense of longing and fascination with the undead, as the singer is drawn towards Carmilla even after her death. The references to darkness, death, and the grave create a gothic atmosphere that is both eerie and captivating. The song is a tribute to the classic horror novel "Carmilla" by Irish author Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, which popularized the theme of lesbian vampires.
