-Human

Including what everyone else said about a reincarnation, consider 'don't you leave me Father Time, take me with you'. So he's becoming timeless: immortal, as a vampire. 'tell me, does your sun still shine?' He's a vampire now; he can't be in the sun so he since he can never see it he wonders if it even still shines. The dripping down the throat sounds like the vampire taking the blood he needs for his embrace. 'Barely breathing, minus human...drip it down my throat again.' The moment of ecstasy and death during the embrace, and the all-powerful blood. Then when he must come up for air: he must tear himself away from the blood and take his first breath as a revenant. That's what it sounds like to me, anyway.
