Soul Vampire

Original tune

Pale knowledge drips from her lips,
And you take it for wisdom,
Your eyes follow the curve of her hips,
And you wish you could kiss them.

And you will, and you will,
But the seduction won't be yours.
If you run you can get away,
Don't be her whore.

refrain:

Soul vampire, she knows your fantasies,
Soul vampire, but she twists them just to please,
Soul vampire, if you're already on your knees,
Soul vampire will just lead you to the fire.

She will steal from you, your creativity,
And she will quietly make off with your life,
She'll take the good in you, she'll take your family
You'll writhe in ecstacy as she drinks from your wife.

repeat refrain

And when there's nothing left, she will throw you down,
You are her plaything, and drained things are no fun,
I see you watching her, and I wish you could see,
If you value life at all, then --Goddamn it-- run!

You know what they say about not pissing off bards.
