As I stepped off the train, the clouds darkened in the sky An immense fear came over me, and I knew the end was nigh Held as a prisoner, frightened for my skin An oppressive castle, I am trapped within He plots my demise, blood clots in my veins I see through his lies, he will cause me pain Dracula, Dracula, Dracula, Dracula Searching this castle, I need to escape Tempted by a temptress, biting at my nape I give a gruff cry, and I try to flee Before I am bled dry, Dracula saves me Dracula, Dracula, Dracula, Dracula Dracula, Dracula, Dracula, Dracula As I stepped on the train, my heart lifted I left behind this foreign land, and I was free

Rescued at last, now I can breathe Hope in my heart, saved from the stormy sea Waves crash around me, I'm in the sea I'm in a decrepit boat Keep me afloat, keep me alive Rescued at last, now I can breathe Hope in my heart, saved from the stormy sea A mad scientist here, living alone living with fear and his pets caught in a cage, cauht in a net Rescued at last, now I can breathe Hope in my heart, saved from the stormy sea Tossing, I turn in my bed Strange thoughts run through my head Sounds come through the wall Take me away to that evil hall Where I saw with my own two eyes acts covered up by their lies Creatures great and small Vivisected he tortured them all Now Moreau is dead, his creatures fed Fed on the brains that were spilled Their thirst not filled, I must escape Rescued at last, now I can breathe Hope in my heart, saved from the stormy sea

Lying awake in my bed at night Trying to take off, to take flight If I could find a medicine for me I'd create the time to be set free I turn into a beast Darkness I have unleashed Life slips away, I lose control Living this way has taken its toll I have regrets, I'm sorry my friends There's no turning back now, This is the end Death and debauchery Blackness I have set free

Frankenstein 09:42
The relentlesss march from cradle to grave Is all I fear, it's all I crave Every generation brings a whole new wave of people dying in order to save if only I could find anew from bodies just like me or you a man who would fight in wars and see that history take its course Now I shall die with my face in the dirt I start to cry, even that makes it hurt My wife left behind in the grasp of this man a creature I made with my own two hands My mind starts to clear I see through the pain and return to find my wife has been slain this monster of mine who killed my wife I must destroy it, take its life Following this fiend to the ends of the earths I have caused my final curse Though I yet live I forsee for myself a life of hiding, subterfuge and stealth One should not play with God's great goals and forge a monster with no soul I gave him his pulse, I gave him his breath I created life out of death Here's the twist in our twisted tale Our eponymous hero lies dead His cruel creation yet clings on to life but sad thoughts run through its head Killing has brought it no comfort It tries to take its own life the moral of this story of woe? Don't play with a surgeon's knife
