Hungry Ghost Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know quite well you don't love me
Cannot forsake this dreadful beast
A vampire nomad, a melting snowman
I'm kissing your hand
[Verse 2]
On full moon days in my stronghold
A lonely child in the corridor
Howling for you
A midnight torture
[Verse 3]
You are my loving sanguinist
Cannibal ventriloquist
A snowy leopard, a phantom shepherd
Whispering in my ear
[Verse 4]
I found your grave at the crossroads
Calling my name in empty prose
Can't stop the moaning, the lovely droning
From the mouth of the hungry ghost
[Bridge]
Strigoi, strigoi, strigoi, strigoi
Strigoi, strigoi, strigoi, strigoi
Strigoi, strigoi, strigoi, strigoi
[Verse 5]
Behead the corpse, turn me face down
A clove of garlic in my mouth
Nail in my forehead, heart in two (The afterlife)
Waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting
For you
