Blood of the Nightshade – Dark Gothic Orchestral Folk | Vampire Folklore Ballad

Подробнее о видео

🩸 "Blood of the Nightshade" is a chilling dark gothic orchestral folk ballad that plunges listeners into the heart of ancient European vampire folklore. Set in a remote 14th-century village, the song tells the story of a revenant, a cursed soul that rises from the grave to feast upon the living. Drawing from the eerie traditions of Slavic and Romanian folklore, the song builds a slow, creeping atmosphere with haunting folk instruments like the fiddle and mandolin, interwoven with somber orchestral elements like cellos and choirs.

This vampire is no romanticized creature—it is a decaying, monstrous figure whose thirst for blood is insatiable. The village's futile attempts to ward off the creature with salt, nightshade, and ancient rituals only heighten the sense of doom as the vampire’s power grows stronger under the blood moon.

Lyrics: (Verse 1)
In darkened woods where nightshade grows,
A shadow walks, where no one knows.
The graves unsettled, cold winds cry,
The restless soul that cannot die.

(Chorus)
Blood of the nightshade, curse of the vine,
Binds the soul to deathless time.
Flesh decayed but eyes still burn,
For blood and life they ever yearn.

(Verse 2)
The children fade, the elders pale,
No breath to fill their ghostly wail.
The beast that once in daylight died,
Now drinks the blood of those who hide.

(Bridge)
In midnight’s heart, the winds grow still,
The hunter stalks, with thirst to kill.
The salt, the flame, the prayers won’t save,
For life is lost within the grave.

(Chorus)
Blood of the nightshade, curse of the vine,
Binds the soul to deathless time.
In shadows deep, the blood will spill,
And death shall feast, its hunger still.

(Verse 3)
A heart once warm, now cold as stone,
The villagers leave souls alone.
In graves of dusk, they lie in wait,
Till moonrise calls and seals their fate.

(Outro):
