"...DEMENTED LUST, THE SECRETS THEY MUST KEEP, ADDICTED TO YOUR BLOOD, AT DAWN THEY SLEEP."

[CHORUS]

"Blood sucking creatures of the night, Nocturnal spectre hiding from the light, Cries screaming out every fright, Eagerly awaiting plight. Apparitions from the pits of hell, Death plagues the streets in which they dwell, Demented lust, the secrets they must keep, Addicted to your blood, At dawn they sleep."

-- "At Dawn they Sleep" (1985) by SLAYER
