BALLROOM

Music by Jim Steinman, original German lyrics by Michael Kunze.

Von Krolock:

Welcome brothers

To this room.

Last time

We met here,

Our meal was a farmer,

Emaciated and pale.

You were sorrowful

But I said to you,

"When one year is meagre,

The next year will be rich."

 

We, who live eternally,

Are consumed by an addiction to fresh blood.

Do we ever have enough?

 

Vampires:

We never had enough!

 

Von Krolock:

Every victim that we feed on

Increases our number

Do we ever have enough?

 

Vampires:

We never have enough!

 

Nothing fills us up

The craving is never quiet.

The emptiness in us

Grows every day.

The fear of emptiness

Follows us all the time.

 

Von Krolock:

But I am your hope!

As I predicted,

A guest has arrived

Adorned and ready

To devote herself to the darkness.

 

A beauty with eyes of the night

An enchanted star child,

Tender like the wind

And ready for me,

Casts a spell over our midnight ball!

 

But she belongs only to me!

Don't worry! I thought of you as well.

Since last night

Here in my labyrinth,

And designated for you,

Two mortals have been damned to stay!

Damned!

 

 

Reprise: God Is Dead

Vampires:

God is dead

He will no longer be sought

We are cursed to live eternally

It draws us nearer to the sun

But we fear the light.

We believe only lies

Despise sacrifice.

What we don't hate,

We don't love.

 

 

Reprise: Total Eclipse

Vampires:

She has awoken to life!

Forever's gonna start tonight.

Forever's gonna start tonight.

 

Von Krolock:

You set out

To lose your heart,

Now you're losing your mind.

 

Sarah and von Krolock:

Total eclipse

A sea of emotion

And no land.

 

Sarah:

Once I believed

In the bright spell of love

 

Von Krolock:

Now it's shattering your world.

 

Sarah and von Krolock:

Total eclipse,

We're falling and nothing can hold us.
