The Thirst

Elton John, Bernie Taupin

[Lestat]
How can this be
This devil leaves
And god abandons me
I'm left here looking at these flames
That too could set me free

The vessel that I used to be
Is tainted now and ripped apart
Bathed in madness by that fiend
Who's robbed me of my human heart

To contemplate this crimson hell
Is more than I can stand
Did I send so to seal my fate
Offered up by hell's own hand

For here, I am a thing of darkness
Thrown from this ungodly swoon
Immortal from a savage kiss
Kept from my eventual doom

But wait, did I invite this fate
This invitation from the damned
This introduction to the dark
Was never in my mortal plan

And if indeed this cruel joke
Was somehow in my destiny
Should I embrace its wicked ways
And haunt the night for what I need?
(For what I need)
(For what I need)

To die in such a way
And simply to be born again
A thing of terrifying strength
A bringer of bewitching pain

And blood becomes the drug I need
Will blood fulfill the thirst in me?
The thirst that sends them to their graves
The thirst for that which I now crave

This thirst
This thirst is strong
It overpowers all right and wrong

The thirst
I feel it coming on
The thirst
I feel it coming on
The thirst
I feel it coming on!
