Dead I am the one, exterminating son;
Slipping through the trees, strangling the breeze.
Dead I am the sky, watching angels cry;
While they slowly turn, conquering the worm.
Dig through the ditches;
And burn through the witches I slam in the back of my Dragula!

And on I burn, churning my direction;
Quench my thirst with gasoline.
