  • [Verse 1]
    The mighty ship lies broken on the rocks
    The crew lay dead their bodies rot
    A wooden coffin washed up on the shore
    They drag it to the abbey steps
    Buried there and laid to rest
    But soon the evil curse will rise again
    Bring the cross and holy water
    Pray to God to stop the slaughter

    [Chorus]
    Nosferatu creature of the night
    Nosferatu darkness kills the light

    [Verse 2]
    Underneath a blood red moon
    Darkness calls the night comes soon
    He rises from the grave to kill again
    Bar the gates and windows shut
    Turn away don't even look
    The Devils seed is hunting for the prey
    Take the vow before the alter
    Trust in God to stop the slaughter

    [Chorus]
    Nosferatu creature of the night
    Nosferatu darkness kills the light

    [Bridge]
    Beneath the abbey vaults we dance the vampire's waltz

    [Verse 3]
    Lonely streets the village sleeps
    In the darkness evil creeps
    The smell of death lies heavy on the air
    A lonely soul just walking home
    She has the sense she's not alone
    With a deadly stare she falls beneath his will
    Bring the cross and holy water
    Pray to God to end the slaughter

    [Chorus]
    Nosferatu creature of the night
    Nosferatu darkness kills the light Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
