Discover the story of the song > Es fließe Blut – Nocte Obducta

The protagonist is feeling lonely and isolated, with coldness and darkness in his heart. He compares himself to a forgotten prisoner whose pleas for help go unheard. However, he also reveals that he is the force that makes his partner's candles flicker and dances as a shadow on her walls. He suggests that she is the blood that intoxicates him and awakens his thirst again. Her laughter even reaches his grave, and anyone who dreams of him dreams of her, although the dreams are tainted. The phrase "Es fließe Blut" means "Let the blood flow."
