This week, Cam and Erin give you a second helping of rice -- Anne Rice that is! This week, they discuss the reboot of Interview With the Vampire.

Flight 136 Interview With The Vampire

Verse 1: In the shadows of the night, where the darkness reigns,
Lestat walks alone, with eternal pains.
He meets a ghost, Roger’s plea so dire,
“Protect my daughter, from the devil’s fire.”

Chorus: Memnoch, the fallen, with wings of despair,
Takes Lestat on a journey, through Heaven’s glare.
From the depths of Hell, to the skies above,
A tale of redemption, a twisted love.

Verse 2: Through the gates of Heaven, where angels sing,
Memnoch reveals the truth, of everything.
God’s aloof creation, a world of strife,
Lestat sees the crucifixion, the sacrifice of life.

Chorus: Memnoch, the fallen, with wings of despair,
Takes Lestat on a journey, through Heaven’s glare.
From the depths of Hell, to the skies above,
A tale of redemption, a twisted love.

Bridge: Dora, the devout, with faith so strong,
Lestat’s obsession, where does he belong?
The veil of Veronica, a miracle revealed,
Armand’s sacrifice, his fate is sealed.

Verse 3: In the halls of Hell, where the lost souls cry,
Memnoch’s domain, where the angels sigh.
Lestat’s confusion, a choice to make,
To serve the Devil, or Heaven’s sake.

Chorus: Memnoch, the fallen, with wings of despair,
Takes Lestat on a journey, through Heaven’s glare.
From the depths of Hell, to the skies above,
A tale of redemption, a twisted love.

Verse 4: In the Garden of Eden, where it all began,
Memnoch shows Lestat, the fall of man.
The serpent’s whisper, the forbidden fruit,
A tale of sin, where the roots take root.

Verse 5: Through the sands of time, where history’s made,
Lestat sees the wars, the lives that fade.
Memnoch’s lament, for a world so lost,
A struggle for souls, no matter the cost.

Chorus: Memnoch, the fallen, with wings of despair,
Takes Lestat on a journey, through Heaven’s glare.
From the depths of Hell, to the skies above,
A tale of redemption, a twisted love.

Outro: Back to New Orleans, where the story began,
Lestat’s chained in darkness, by Maharet’s hand.
A note from Memnoch, a sinister plan,
In the world of vampires, who can understand?

Memnoch the Devil

[intro]
[
Verse 1] In the heart of New Orleans, where shadows dance,
Lives a young vampire, Quinn, in a gothic romance.
From a wealthy family, with secrets so deep,
Haunted by Goblin, a spirit he keeps.

Chorus: Blackwood Farm, where the darkness thrives,
In the cypress swamps, where the spirits rise.
Bloodlust and betrayal, in the Southern night,
A tale of love and loss, in the pale moonlight.

Verse 2: Goblin was a friend, now a dangerous foe,
Since Petronia’s bite, his power did grow.
Quinn seeks Lestat, the legendary name,
To rid him of Goblin, to end this dark game.

Chorus: Blackwood Farm, where the darkness thrives,
In the cypress swamps, where the spirits rise.
Bloodlust and betrayal, in the Southern night,
A tale of love and loss, in the pale moonlight.

Bridge: Mona Mayfair, a witch so strong,
In love with Quinn, where they both belong.
Julien’s ghost warns of a vampire’s kiss,
In the tangled web of love and abyss.

Verse 3: Merrick Mayfair, with a sacrifice grand,
Carries Goblin’s spirit to the other land.
Lestat feels the weight of this final act,
In the haunted halls, where the shadows pact.

Chorus: Blackwood Farm, where the darkness thrives,
In the cypress swamps, where the spirits rise.
Bloodlust and betrayal, in the Southern night,
A tale of love and loss, in the pale moonlight.

Outro: Set in a mansion, grand and old,
With stories of the past, forever told.
Blackwood Farm, a place of lore,
Where the supernatural forevermore.

The haunting of Tarquin Blackwood

Verse 1: (female vocals)
Innocence pure, a soul untouched
A child's heart, in nature's clutch
Sunlight dances, a carefree glee
A melody of youth, wild and free

Chorus:
Eternal soul in mortal strife
A vampire's yearning, a haunting life
Searching for solace, a human's art
A broken heart, torn apart

Verse 2: (Male Vocals)
Shadows creep, a haunting fear
A world unknown, a soul unclear
Painful birth, a crimson stain
Eternal night, a haunting chain

Chorus:
Eternal soul in mortal strife
A vampire's yearning, a haunting life
Searching for solace, a human's art
A broken heart, torn apart

Verse 3: (male vocals)
Amadayo's gone, a memory's trace
Armand arises, in this shadowed space
Beauty's mask, a hollow art
A tortured soul, a broken heart

Bridge:
Trapped in shadows, a haunting dream
A reflection of what once could have been
A thirst for life, a vampire's plight
Lost in darkness, without the light

Verse 4: (female vocals)
A touch of warmth, a human's grace
A fleeting moment, an empty space
Centuries pass, a silent cry
For mortal love, a longing sigh

Bridge:
Immortality's cage, a gilded curse
A prisoner of time, a universe
Yearning for a soul, a kindred spirit
Lost in shadows, a mournful merit

Chorus:
Eternal soul in mortal strife
A vampire's yearning, a haunting life
Searching for solace, a human's art
A broken heart, torn apart

outro
Yet, in the depths of his immortal soul, a flicker of hope remains. A whisper of a future, a chance for redemption. As centuries turn and the world evolves, Armand wanders, a solitary ghost in a world of living souls. His journey, a never-ending quest, a search for a meaning in the endless expanse of eternity.

The fall of Amedeo

Verse 1:
New Orleans' shadows, where the story starts
Lestat the vampire, with his hungry heart
Louis, the mortal, caught in his thrall
Eternal life's curse, a haunting call

Chorus:
Lestat's dark waltz, a dance of the night
Blood-red desires, in the pale moonlight
Lost souls entwined, in a twisted embrace
Forever bound, in this cursed space

Verse 2:
Claudia, the child, their immortal game
A vampire's plaything, burning with shame
Seeking revenge, against their cruel fate
But trapped in darkness, it's too late

Chorus:
Lestat's dark waltz, a dance of the night
Blood-red desires, in the pale moonlight
Lost souls entwined, in a twisted embrace
Forever bound, in this cursed space

Bridge:
Centuries pass, the world's changing face
Lestat's hunger, leaves its trace
Searching for meaning, in the endless night
But darkness lingers, devoid of light

Chorus:
Lestat's dark waltz, a dance of the night
Blood-red desires, in the pale moonlight
Lost souls entwined, in a twisted embrace
Forever bound, in this cursed space

Outro:
The vampire's tale, a chilling confession
A life of shadows, a haunting obsession
Lestat's dark waltz, forever will play
In the depths of the night, where shadows sway
