[Video #55] from http://www.youtube.com/user/MetalGuruMessiah the address for MetalGuruMessiah's Musical Paint Box! Check out my other videos!
Blue Oyster Cult's Spectres album from 1977 has always been one of my favorite albums by the band. Having already been a fan of F.W. Murnau's classic 1922 fan Nosferatu when the album was released, each time I heard this song, "Nosferatu", images from that film were playing in my head. It's a really cool and beautiful song....by a band that wrote many, many cool and beautiful songs.
This isn't the first time that the movie has been used as a video for the song, and it probably won't be the last, as anyone familiar with both the film and song has, like myself and others, had the film playing in their mind everytime they hear this song. My version is simply my vision...and I hope you like it.
[Lyrics]
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
