Dracula
Shadow Reichenstein Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Night falls, streets are bare
Smell of fear in the air
Boys and girls locked inside
Under their beds they run and hide
At the door someone's there
A plea for help say your prayers
Helpless victims, hear their cries
Cover your ears, close your eyes

Dracula, you become
The undead, living dead

Helpless victims, hear their cries
Cover your ears, close your eyes

Dracula, you become
The undead, living dead

Dracula, you become
The undead, living dead





Dracula, Dracula, Dracula, undead
