Serafim - Vampire

I have seen the temples and the altars

Built to terrify and to astound

Towering like mountains up to heaven

Or hiding out of reach below the ground

I have seen unfortunates at daybreak

Slain atop the gleaming pyramid

I saw mothers hand away their newborns

Do behold, don’t shy away, I did

Kadesh, father you almighty

The outer spheres of firmament are thine

The tragedy of men lies on my shoulders

Their vanity and holiness are mine

I have seen old crones and teenage women

Drowned and stoned and burning at their stakes

Or rising through the atmosphere of prayer

At quiet country funeral wakes

Kadesh, father you almighty

The outer spheres of firmament are thine

The tragedy of men lies on my shoulders

Their vanity and holiness are mine

Kadesh, father you almighty

The outer spheres of firmament are thine

The tragedy of men lies on my shoulders

Their vanity and holiness are mine

I have seen this blue-bad royal corpses

Frozen still on horseback in the snow

I have seen civilians and warriors

Beneath the fallen walls of Jericho

I have seen the cities of the old world

Crumble to their core and grind to dust

Some were slowly swallowed by the sand waves

Others fell by devastating gusts
