Mark Englander - Craving Lyrics

I'm older than the hills of Carpathia
Wiser than the councils of Trieste
I drained veins when Rome was but a hamlet
The hunt a thrill hotter than the feast

I dream of necks arched like pale rainbows
Of throats pulsing with the hot flow of life
I melt in the furnace of my hunger
I'm reborn from the red I imbibe

Life eternal is a curse
When hunger's the only thing
That makes one feel alive
I'd trade it all for a bask in the sun
Feel the burn, hear the sizzle as I die

Last night I drank again
She was only seventeen
She tasted like coppery wine
Made me feel young again
For a while, for a day

On and on - that's how it goes
Young or old - they're all the same
At first they all fight like hell
One touch of the fang
Life goes out like a light of day

Life eternal is a curse
When craving's the only thing
That makes me feel alive
I'll trade it all for a day in the sun
Hear the sizzle, feel the burn as I die
