about

‘Vampyre’ is the second single from Krooked Tongue’s upcoming EP. It broods with a dark but energetic swagger, underlining slick poetry with a foundation of heavy riffs. The finale of the song erupts into a cataclysm of sound, scorching a fire pit in the ears of the listener. “Vampyre embodies what it means to be carefree and have fun. Personified in this case by the transfiguration of a vampire. Paralleling the transfiguration of ‘drunk invincibility’.

lyrics

Set free The sycamore, prison savoured by the light
Dead eyes and empty pores, only comfort in the night
Hunt down in generations, thirsty for another drink
Red crown initiation, coming out of the coffin

Its the call of the beast
Raise up all the deceased
Take the blood off my hands, celebrate, delegate in a magical feast
Im only out in the night
I am a terrible fright

I’ve always been a vampyre

Mundane or medicator, poison chosen by the pride
Black dawn initiation, coven calls at the dark side
Black swan affiliation, hungry for another kill
Blood bank retaliation, written out of the will

Its the call of the beast
Raise up all the deceased
Take the blood off my hands, celebrate, delegate in a magical feast
Im only out in the night
I am a terrible fright

I’ve always been a vampyre

Its the call of the beast
Raise up all the deceased
Take the blood off my hands, celebrate, delegate in a magical feast
Im only out in the night
I am a terrible fright

I’ve always been a vampyre
