Superstition, fear and jealousy

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! 

Dig through the ditches 
And burn through the witches 
I slam in the back of my 
Dragula! 

Dead I am the pool, spreading from the fool 
Weak and what you need, nowhere as you bleed 
Dead I am the rat, feast upon the cat 
Tender is the fur, dying as you purr 

Dig through the ditches 
And burn through the witches 
I slam in the back of my 
Dragula! 

Dig through the ditches 
And burn through the witches 
I slam in the back of my 
Dragula! 

Do it baby, do it baby 
Do it baby, do it baby 
Burn like an animal 

Dead I am the life, dig into the skin 
Knuckle crack the bone, twenty one to win 
Dead I am the dog, hound of hell you cry 
Devil on your back, I can never die 

Dig through the ditches 
And burn through the witches 
I slam in the back of my 
Dragula! 

Dig through the ditches 
And burn through the witches 
I slam in the back of my 
Dragula! 

Do it baby, do it baby 
Do it baby, do it baby 
Burn like an animal 

Dig through the ditches 
And burn through the witches 
I slam in the back of my 
Dragula! 

Dig through the ditches 
And burn through the witches 
I slam in the back of my 
Dragula! 

Dig through the ditches 
And burn through the witches 
I slam in the back of my 
Dragula!
