[Verse 1]
I wore the wolf-skin
I wore the ash
Crossed every graveyard
With a hunter's lash
Then Eden opened
On a black throne night
The Vampire Lord
Turned my heart to ice
[Pre-Chorus]
He said, "Drink, stay golden
Keep your face alive"
I saw his teeth flash
And I chose the knife
[Chorus]
I won't drink, I won't drink
(never for youth)
I won't drink, I won't drink
I die for the truth
Pale in Eden
I keep my name
I won't drink, I won't drink
(never again)
[Verse 2]
Now my skin goes wax-white
My scalp shows bone
My ears grow sharp
Like glass in a storm
My gloves hang loose now
On fingers too long
And I hear my pulse
Turn weak and wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
He calls me brother
With a velvet smile
But I spit his promise
Back into the bile
[Chorus]
I won't drink, I won't drink
(never for youth)
I won't drink, I won't drink
I die for the truth
Pale in Eden
I keep my name
I won't drink, I won't drink
(never again)
[Bridge]
Look at me now
No mirror, no crown
A bald little specter
With my head bowed down
Pointy ears cutting
Through my ruined face
Still I hunt the rotten
Still I spit his grace
[Final Chorus]
I won't drink, I won't drink
(never for youth)
I won't drink, I won't drink
I die for the truth
Pale in Eden
I keep my name
I won't drink, I won't drink
(never again)
I won't drink, I won't drink
Let the years take me
I won't drink, I won't drink
My hunger won't free me
Pale in Eden
I won't be tame
I won't drink, I won't drink
(never again)
