It’s Called ”Helena & Gerard: A Vampire Tragedy In Unmetered Limerick”, Mom Lyrics by The Forgetmenauts

Bestiary

2019

(One, two, three, four!)
[Gerard, Helena, both]
I bid the sunshine adieu
In eighteen seventy-two
When the girl that I liked
Made me a creature of the night
At the midsummer hullabaloo
On the shortest night of the year
I told him he’d nothing to fear
I bit his throat
And crooned as he choked
“Together, forever, my dear,”
So disquieted by the quiet in my chest
When I put on my jacket and my vest
And my vampire bride
And my gun at my side
We set off for the Pacific Northwest
We traveled the country by train
Masking our murders in midnight and rain
We made for a coast
With no resident ghosts
To start a new life without shame
But that red, hot, salt taste of blood
In my mouth is hard to give up
They whisper we’re monsters, I fear that it’s true
But am I a monster to you?
We built a small home by a stream
Deep in the dark woods where the water was clean
We’d put on our best
And we'd entertain guests
Where no one could hear the screams
But eventually, sport starts to bore
Seemed every new throat, I'd tasted before
I wanted to find
Prey of a new kind
But my partner in crime wasn’t sure
We’d had lads, we’d had lasses, like lambs to the slaughter
The baker, the banker, the governor's daughter
“You're monsters! You're demons!” they scream as they bleed
But vampires, like all things, must feed
But one night, we took it too far
We propositioned a nun ‘neath a blanket of stars
My wife lost her life
(I lost my life)
To that daughter of Christ
I still to this day bear the scars
Alone I couldn’t face what I’d done
So I bit me a husband, I bit me a son
A family of three
And happy are we
I loathe what I have become
