Crimson Temptation 

Crimson Temptation
by: Lord Jon Ray
Genre: Dark Gothic Fantasy Metal
Lyrics:
The night envelops the ancient realm
As hunger gnaws within my soul
A cursed existence, this wretched hell
To feed the thirst that takes its toll
The mortals slumber, their lives aglow
While darkness reigns my waking world
A yearning burns to end this woe
Yet fangs remain forever unfurled
With each full moon, my torment grows
The beast within demands its due
To stay this course, no one knows
The strength it takes to make it through
The village fears the demon's bite
As children's tales are whispered near
Of the unholy terror of the night
The vampire's name invokes their fear
Crimson temptation, an endless blight
This insatiable immortal plight
To drain life's essence or face the light
Oh cruel fate, why this inner fight?
No rest until the break of dawn's first light
Battles rage between mind and need
As innocents cross my shadowed path
One fateful strike and they would bleed
To sate these pangs, avoid true de*th
Alas, I cannot bear that solemn cost
To pillage life in selfish greed
All hope of redemption would be lost
If I gave in to the vampire's creed
Crimson temptation, an endless blight
This insatiable immortal plight
To drain life's essence or face the light
Oh cruel fate, why this inner fight?
No rest until the break of dawn's first light
Deep in the woods, a creature's wail
The hunt begins, no life shall I take
Perhaps this lesser bounty will avail
And stay the hunger for mercy's sake
Crimson temptation, an endless blight
This insatiable immortal plight
To drain life's essence or face the light
Oh cruel fate, why this inner fight?
No rest until the break of dawn's first light
