i totally agree with this being about a very old and powerful vampire
"blood of the ancient one is burning through my veins."
could be reference to Dracula the first vampire.
another reasons why i believe this is because of the
"i have witnessed the birthing of your faith
the tribulations, the driving of the stake."
line talks about a religion most likely some form of christianity being brought in and the tribulations of hunting vampire the driving of the stake which obviously is a way to kill a vampire, but the vampire told in this song is too old and powerful thus survived and seeks revenge
"slipping through centuries untouched by human love
void of the simple pleasures that human life provides
forever bound, i lie in wait, undying -- and insane."
is also a very strong line in the song showing how it is also a curse living forever would get old and lonley and the life you live becomes hated ,but then again you dont wanna die because your soul is condemned to hell,another part that supports that is the final part
"see the creation of this world
see it all reduced to ash
in the blink of a sunken eye
i see one hundred winters pass
my blessing, my curse
perpetually i'm damned to earth
of a soul i am bereft
forever dying to be dead."
lol i am very obsessed with this song, it is still my favorite
