Verse One:
You have the soul of a vampire
But you find you have a desire
For something more than blood
To quinch your thirst like a flood
pourin’ down on your desert ground
You’re condemned to live eternally
In slavery to the desire
For flesh and blood that you’ve acquired
You Drink and drink, but never satisfied
There’s been nights you have cried
For Someone to come and save your soul
Your life is so out of control! (end beat two on 13th measure)
2 measure guitar (14th and 15th measure)
Out of Control Vampire Soul!(Scream on sixteenth measure)
Chorus
Vampire soul on fire
Burnng with desire
For something more than blood
For something more than blood
(X2)
Verse Two:
As the darkness surrounds the temple, The candles are burning bright And in the midst of the darkness, You are enticed by the pull of the light Once inside the temple , You see a living sacrifice There’s a body nailed to a tree and your heart is full of glee, you want the blood ,you need the blood and once you drink the holy blood flowing from his sacred body your chains fall off you are set free( scream to 2nd beat on 13th)

Vampire soul on fire
Burning with desire
For something more than blood
For something more than blood

Verse Three:
His flesh and blood- your midnight meal
you eat and drink- your soul it heals
His BLOOD has quinched your thirst
His BLOOd has redeemed the curse
From vile beast to child of peace
You’re transformed through the blood of the Lord
FOR the blood of animals and men
can not free you from your sin
Now you know the holy truth
That you’ve sought from your youth
You’ve found what really pleases
you’re a vampire biting Jesus! (to second bt. On 13th)
