!!! EXPLICIT CONTENT !!!

When this feeling hits, its best to keep your distance.

At the slightest scent of flesh, I get aggressive in an instant.

I may not seem like much but you can bet that I'm scheming

on a way to tear your heart out. I'm called a demon for many reasons.

Anything can go down when you step into my presence:

before you know what happened, I've already drained your essence.

I'm deadly, like dynamite wrapped up tight, in this package

and I’ll explode on your neck and throat, with no sign of attack.

Watch your back and your front, no, instead don't even worry.

When I want to, I'll get you; if you're lucky, I'll hurry.

So, as you're in the world, keep in mind that I'm waiting

for you to slip up and come and trip into my haven.

No escaping these sacred grounds or the forces within it.

Your soul belongs to me; life as you know it is finished.

I control and own you, totally. Soon, you will see

that I have rested in peace but now, I'm fucking hungry!

Its time to rise, open your eyes and look around.

We're going shopping for supper, but we need an easy take-down.

Check out this town, potential victims every minute.

As one steps next to darkness, he knows not what lies in it.

With the flick of his cigarette, its death to this smoker.

I'm drinking like its New Year's and I'm grinning like Joker!

Soaked in his blood, I disappear with a quickness.

It cost that fool his life to calm the symptoms of my sickness.

Daylight is coming, its time to hide out til dusk

when I'll get drunk again to satisfy my bloodlust.
