Nosferatu lyrics
by Blue Oyster Cult



Deep in the heart of Germany

Lucy clutched her breast in fear

She heard a beat of her lover's heart

For weeks she raved in dreams he appeared

From far off Transylvania



Only a woman can break his spell

Pure in heart who will offer herself

To Nosferatu



This ship pulled in without a sound

The faithful captain long since cold

He kept his log till the bloody end

Last entry read "Rats in the hold".

My crew is dead - I fear the plague



Only a woman can break his spell

Pure in heart who will offer herself



Mortal terror reigned

Sickness now then horrible death



Only Lucy knew the truth

And at her window

Nosferatu



So chaste, so calm, she gave herself

To the pleasure of the dreaded master

He sucked the precious drops of life

Throughout the long and cold dark night



One last goodbye, he was blinded by love

One last goodbye, he was blinded by love

Blinded by love



He screamed with fear, he'd stayed too long in her room

The morning sun had come too soon

The spell was broken with a kiss of doom

He vanished into dust, left her all alone



Only a woman can break his spell

Pure in heart who will offer herself



Only a woman can break his spell

Pure in heart who will offer herself

To Nosferatu
