Reining his horse under the blackened sky

Ride into town with the lantern held high

Shuddering doors greet this unwanted soul

Populace symbols for death, warning to

Flee, or ultimately die

Hunter reasoning for a prey he won’t deny

Fixing his sights on the stormy chateau

Marking the undead for death, ascending now

To the castle, moonlit passage

Marked by tombstones, crumbling into the ground

Through the crypts now, send a message

Stake into your heart

Guided dimly by the torchlight

Burn the cobwebs, find the coffin below

Regal bloodline, ending tonight

Demon will be chained to the grave

Catacombs reek of a meal smelling fresh

Ravenous spawn thirsting for sanguine flesh

Piercing the skin with their ivory fangs

Blood soaking into the black, leatherbound

Tome, saturating text

Silver-soaked blade putting down the grotesque

Piles of bones from the victims before

Sanctify the rotting tomb, unholy ground
