Blood Mine - The Black Dahlia Murder

Forgotten, miles below the surface

Through catacombs of stone

In moss covered tunnels

Labyrinthine are the shadows in which we do roam

In bondage, kept the vessels

The living, breathing beasts

Hosts to a meal most exquisite

The very blood their veins do keep

Herding them in

Forcibly reproduced

Impatience to sink our fangs in deep

Rarely transcending youth

A farm of human beings

Inbred, the speechless stock

Sightless eyes, vestigial now

Never to know the glowing sun

Shepherd them in

Violently consumed

In captivity, so fearfully

To become this evening’s food

Blood mine

Feed on the weaklings

Blood mine

Harvest this nectar of life

Blood mine

Cyclic devourment

Over ages, perfected

Your earth is protected—

For now…

Our curse must be sated somehow

A secret best kept underground

Destroy, create

Manacled skin, grey

Vampiric, we feast

The bigger the mortal, the harder they bleed

In bondage, kept the vessels

The living, breathing beasts

Hosts to a meal most exquisite

The very blood their veins do keep

Herding them in

Forcibly reproduced

Impatience to sink our fangs in deep

Rarely transcending youth

Blood mine

Feed on the weaklings

Blood mine

Harvest this nectar of life

Blood mine

Cyclic devourment

Over ages, perfected

Your earth is protected—

For now…
