I am fairly confident that this song is a prequel of sorts to "Damn These Vampires," released one year earlier on All Eternals Deck. Musically and lyrically they seem tied together, especially the naïve new vampire of this song saying "God bless all vampires every night," who then becomes the jaded, worn voice saying, "God damn these vampires for what they've done to me."

"God damn" is who he was in 1986, "God bless" is who he became.
