Wilhelmina Waltz

And now, if you would allow me the honour

I'd like to hand your attention

Over to our most eternal of friends

And most infernal of fiends

To sing an ode to love and longing

And to declare war against the frailties of mortality

Here, all the way from Transylvania, or was it Wallachia?

Is Vlad Țepeș Dracula and his Wilhelmina Waltz

♪

Oh, arise, my darling, I'm so glad to see you wake

It's nearly nine of the clock now, it's beginning to get late

So please, do come quick

I don't think that it's quite done yet

Before our blood moon rises, let us watch the scarlet sunset

These crimson rays set my heart ablaze

When you shimmer, sweet and pure

And the blood it pumps goes to another place

When you act so damn demure

"Harker" scathes far too harsh a cadence for a woman of your allure

Brand me forward, but I think "Wilhelmina Dracula" suits you more

So darling, can you dance a waltz in five?

One step for every fool

That tries their hardest to conspire and connive

Van Helsing the Dullard, Jonathan beloved and the other three

Bah, blast them all, what need we of men

When we bathe in the eternity?

Imagine the nights, the sights, the bites

The melodies that will grace us as time flows by

Perhaps in a couple hundred years or so

We will hear an ancient lullaby

That's lamented as a testament to the story of you and I

An era's naught but a moment to those that cannot die

So darling, can you dance a waltz in five?

One beat for every century I've killed

Destroyed and defiled to survive

He asked for your hand, now Jonathan's your man

And yet, here you are with me

Even Renfield dare not defile a cat as fair and as tasty as thee

Did you call me?

Oh, hello there, Missy

My, my, you are quite pretty

The Heavens smile upon me

What God must I thank for this sitting?

Oh, you're concerned? Even perturbed?

You're not sure to take Master's word?

Well, between you and me, if you're seeking my help

I'll cut you dead now and save you the hell

No, I'm not rabid nor insane

I'm the only freak in this shit-hole that's kept half a brain

This isn't a threat, nor a curse, nor the ramblings of a fool

If you value humanity, don't succumb to Dracul

He'll abuse you, he'll misuse you

He'll raise Hell on Earth to subdue you

Till not even death can undo you

(So if you'll forgive me, I'm quite busy

My skull's got a date with the floor this evening

And the silly thing won't bash in itself)

Darling, won't you let me come inside?

Just say the word and I'll be right behind you to wake you

Good night
