[Grim, verse 1]
You
You are
Alive
And I’m sure you would rather
Stay that way
I
I am
DEATH
And you shouldn’t chase this goal
That’s what I say
Carmilla
She has taken control of the strings of fate
And my
My role in the grand design has abated
It is done
The circle of life’s no longer what it was
What it was
What it is
Is but a sliver of what once was
So many dead
But yet DEATH does not rule the land
For DEATH is at an end
When DEATH is not the end
Stay your hand
Stay away
Swear off your vengeance and leave today
This land is not safe
For any who crave
To remain
Alive
[Ellen, verse 2]
Foul specter, how dare you
To order us around?
What’s dead should stay silent
To your realm be bound
Our vow is most sacred
For our vengeance is just
And once one’s avowed
Continue one must!
From her tomb she sprung
Carmilla, the bitch
She wants a taste of living? Well,
My sword will scratch that itch!
A life she has taken
And a life I will claim
DEATH herself won’t stop me
I swear by our name
[Melody, hook]
My sister speaks harshly, but there is no lie
In true Durmont fashion we shall have her die
A queen of the dead should not be protected
If DEATH herself’s enslaved it should be objected
[Grim, verse 3]
You
You are
Foolish
You will never succeed in this fight
You shan’t make her die
For here and now I shall claim your lives
The Reaper
I shall cut through your strings of fate
And my
My role is thus again fulfilled
By guiding your souls
Beyond the veil
Though this time I must use fooorce
[Ellen]
I’ll use fooorce
[Melody]
Please don’t use force
[the battle commences]
[Grim, speaking]
Do you truly believe you can kill DEATH?
[Melody, speaking]
Not kill.
[Ellen, speaking]
Exorcise!
[Ellen holds up a holy symbol and utters a spell, Grim falls to her knees]
[Grim, speaking]
What have you done? Without DEATH, what is living?
[Ellen, speaking]
We don’t need you to guide our souls. We will guide them ourselves. We do need you to stop supporting Carmilla, so that we can end her vile existence.
[Ellen, verse 4]
Oh, if you can’t join us
Then we’ll seize the chance
To take you and her down
End this fucking dance
I have grown tired
So if that’s all you’ve got
Begone from existence
And in DEATH you rot
Thot
[Grim, verse 5]
Not
You shall not
You forgot
That I am DEATH herself
I do not rot
But I
I agree
This struggle’s at an end
I’ll lay down my scythe
No longer enemies
Though not yet friends
So many dead
But yet DEATH does not rule the land
For DEATH is at an end
When DEATH is not the end
Stay your hand
Take my hand
And know
DEATH is not the end
When Carmilla is your friend
When Carmilla bites your friend
She may rise again
[Melody]
Our sister?
[Grim]
She may rise again
[Ellen]
Alive?
[Grim]
Not quite alive
But not quite dead
A weakness of silver
But not of lead
I am fading away…
Seek out the witch
If you want your sister to stay
Alive
[Ellen]
Alive?
[Grim]
Not quite alive…
