Best lyrics ever? vote inside!

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 feind
who robbed me of my human heart

my life is gone
but I live on
dead; but still alive!

and lost to those
who loved me once
a demon now inside.

for here i am a thing of darkness
Blown from this un-godly swoon
immortal from a savage kiss:
kept from my eventual tomb

but wait:
did i invite this fate?
this invitation from the damned?
This introduction to the dark
was never in my mortal plan

and could it be this curel joke
was somehow in my destiny
should I embrace its wicked ways
and haunt the night 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 become the drug i need
will blood fulfill this thirst in me
the thirst that sends them too their graves
the thirst for that which I know crave

THIS THIRST
THIS THIRST IS STRONG
IT OVER POWERS
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!!

For so many years
we've shared this path together
kindred spirits
in the path of history

for you the quest
to heal is all that matters
but it's a different road
i crave these days for me

You dwell so
on the cure for your creation
and seek a ghost
from our mythology

but now, the wonders
that the world can offer
mean more to me
than anctient family trees

to hear the waves pound
the timvers of a schooner
fighting off the coastline
of cape horn

to travel in the shadow
of the long boats
to where the giants
of the artic ice were born

to the dangers in the deep
dark congo river
where the crocodile hunts,
and the python strikes

to watch another predator in action
could rejuvinate some meaning in your life

the thrill to hunt in such exotic places
i can almost taste those beauties in siam
the brown-skinned boys of meek innocent wranglers
the shy chinese behind their painted fans

my need to go is hard to fight
i want to gaze upon the world
just like the northern light

and of all the things about you
that i'm going to miss
is the bond we form together
through this crimson kiss

my son so dear,
the world's out there
mystery calls and I can't resist
but you and i have memories
bound together by the Crimson kiss

Lestat: Please stay with me 8(

Carolee: I cannot

Lestat: I did not give you the dark gift so that you could one day walk away from me!

Carmello: I gave you the gift of life, knowing that some day you WOULD walk away from me! (burrrn)

With the well-spring
of my strength unrestricted,
there's so little
i could fail to endure

i could face a treck
across the hyiimaleyas
survive the freezing mists
of scottish moores

my need to go is hard to fight
i want to gaze upon thsi world
just like the northern light

and of all the things about you
that i'm going to miss
it's the bnd we form 2getha
thru tha krimson kiss

my son so dear
the world's out there
mystery calls
and i can't resist

but you and i have memories
bound 2getha
by the crimson kisss

my son so dear
the world's out there
mystery calls
and i can't resist

but you and i have memories
bound 2getha
by the crimson kisss<3

See me!
Wolf killer!

Now, as her sweet imbecilities tumble so lavishly onto her lap...

It's the Day of the Ox, my Lord.
With but three days remaining
And today already waning,
I've a few further shocks, my Lord.

To begin, let me say,
At the risk of repetition,
There are ships in the bay,
And they didn't ask permission,
But they sit there all day
In contemptuous array
With a letter to convey
And they haven't gone away
And there's every indication
They they still plan to stay,
And you look a little gray, my Lord …

Have some tea, my Lord,
Some chrysanthemum tea,
While we plan, if we can,
What our answer ought to be.

If the tea the Shogun drank will
Serve to keep the Shogun tranquil,
I suggest, if I may, my Lord,
We consult the Confucians —
They have mystical solutions.
There are none wise as they, my Lord …

Everybody's playin' the game
But nobody's rules are the same
Nobody's on nobody's side!

Never stay a minute too long
Don't forget the best will go on
Nobody's on nobody's side

omen, women...
Understanding and reliable,
Knowing their place.
Insufferable, yes, but gentle,
Their weaknesses are incidental.
A functional but ornamental
Race.
Durable, sensible
Women, women...
Very nearly indispensable
Creatures of grace.
God knows the foolishness about them,
But if one had to live without them,
The world would surely be a poorer,
If purer,
Place.

Me as a merry-go-round,


Me as King Lear.

How can I wait around til later?
I'll be 90 on my deathbed and the late,
or rather later,
Henrik Egerman...

Doesn't anything begin?

No fits no fights no feuds and no egos!
Amigoes! Together!

It's intolerable
Being tolerated

every day a little death- a little night music

my favorite sondheim song, ever
