Lyrics
And fire unquenched, unquenchable,
Around, within, thy heart shall dwell
Nor ear can hear nor tongue can tell
The tortures of that inward hell!
But first, on earth as vampire sent,
Thy corse shall from its tomb be rent:
Then ghastly haunt thy native place,
And suck the blood of all thy race
There from thy daughter, sister, wife,
At midnight drain the stream of life
Yet loathe the banquet which perforce
Must feed thy livid living corse:
Thy victims ere they yet expire
Shall know the demon for their sire,
As cursing thee, thou cursing them,
Thy flowers are withered on the stem.
And fire unquenched, unquenchable,
Around, within, thy heart shall dwell
Nor ear can hear nor tongue can tell
The tortures of that inward hell!
