| Elton John The Origin Of The Species Lyrics MARIUS: Indulge me if you will, my friends For I've a tale to spin Of all the vampires on this earth Of my unholy kin I am the oldest one by far Marius is my name When I was born it was the time The Roman Empire reigned… CHORUS: When he was born it was the time The Roman Empire reigned MARIUS: Unlike you mortals as you age The weaker you become For us it's quite the opposite The years just make us strong But like you we feel pain and loss And suffer heartbreak too We ponder our existence In the same way as you do CHORUS: We ponder our existence In the same as you do MARIUS: In the myth of your Creation There's bold Adam and sweet Eve Temptation, and a serpent, And the devil's apple tree. We have Enkil and Akasha An Egyptian King and Queen The Mother and the Father Of we pale and bloody fiends CHORUS: The Mother and the Father Of we pale and bloody fiends Marius, tell us more Marius, tell us more Tell us more, tell us more Marius…tell us more MARIUS: Four thousand years ago Before the pyramids were built Enkil and Akasha ruled With wise benevolence. The splendor of Egyptian life Was prosperous and good But in their kingdom Enemies were present And so it happened that a demon Came into the town And took a liking to the home Of some unfortunate Who pleaded to wise Enkil For his council and advice Before his home this demon desecrated The king in all his faith Decided to engage the ghoul In hopes his evil ways by chance He might dissuade The Queen would not allow her King To face this deal alone And in her choice The hand of fate was played. The demon tosses the furniture His malevolence abounding And while they pleaded to be heard They found themselves surrounded Assassins from the enemy Their collective knives a-gleaming Hacked and stabbed the royal pair And left the bodies bleeding. As they lay dying on the ground The poltergeist did swoop And entered in the wounds Of their illustrious monarchy Their reanimated bodies Bore a terrifying glow Alive to them But dead to you and me The demon in their veins They gained a supernatural power But one that left them Sorely lack human traits No longer to partake of food and drink Or bear a child Their hunger only blood Can satiate They could not face the blazing sun It's magnificence was deadly But the power of Gods and Eternal Life Is a truly wonderful medley. MARIUS AND CHORUS: In the sands of Egypt to this day Dwell Enkil and Akasha The rulers of the Vampire race Our loving Mother and Father… [Thanks to JaimeAudun for lyrics] Lestat The Musical soundtrack lyrics page
