At Dawn They Sleep Lyrics by Six Feet Under

Graveyard Classics III

2010

Awakened I have become, light now slips away
Manipulate your mind, darkness is my slave
Taste the sins of hell, the blood that I so crave
The last thing that you see is the hunger in my eyes
Blood sucking creatures of the night
Nocturnal specter hiding from the light
Cries screaming out every fright
Eagerly awaiting plight
Apparitions from the pits of hell
Death plagues the streets in which they dwell
Demented lust, the secrets they must keep
Addicted to your blood, at dawn they sleep
Unveil the hidden coffin, lift the lid of terror
Feel the deadly cold freeze you from inside
Perceiving your intentions to slay the phantom form
Raise the stake in malice, you cannot plunge it down
Blood sucking creatures of the night
Nocturnal specter hiding from the light
Cries screaming out every fright
Eagerly awaiting plight
Apparitions from the pits of hell
Death plagues the streets in which they dwell
Demented lust, the secrets they must keep
Addicted to your blood, at dawn they sleep
[Solo]
Beware the image unseen stalks your soul, your corpse's redeem
Eternal damnation you just reward, a servant of our Lord by your accord
Admonish of the cruciform, impalement, immortality's scorned
Rise hold fast your faith, to lie dormant is certain death
Driven by the instinct of centuries of horror
Implanted along the brain of the sickening parasite
Linked together by one trait
The hell filled need to kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
Emerging from their hellish tomb, taking flight amidst the night
The evening skies are raining death
Swooping down from shadowed skies, taking simple human form
Shed their wings to stalk the mortal man
Lock their jaws into your veins, satanic soldiers strike their prey
Leaving corpses waiting for the change
Blood dripping from the jaws of death not enough to satisfy
They must drain your soul of life
