Alles ist vergeben! Alles ist vergessen!
Alles wird heute so gesehen, als sei es nie passiert. Nie!

Darum sind wir hier versammelt und geloben, dass man sich an nichts aus der Vergangenheit,
wie Streit und Kampf und üble Tricks über diese Nacht hinaus erinnern soll.

Vergebung kühlt unsere Wut. Vergebung gibt uns wieder Ruh'.
Vergebung erinnert uns Vampire, dass alles mal so kommen musste.
Niemand wird an Kämpfe mehr erinnert, ab heute ist alles vergeben.
Vampire haben es schon immer gewusst, dass alles mal so kommen musst'.

Vampire können vergeben; Vampire sind anders als man denkt.
Vampire sind sich dessen bewusst, dass alles mal so kommen musst'.

Freiheit bleibt unser Losungswort; Freiheit bleibt unser Verlangen.
Freiheit bedeutet den Vampiren alles - was immer auch passieren sollte.

Darum sind wir hier versammelt und geloben, dass man sich an nichts aus der Vergangenheit,
wie Streit und Kampf und üble Tricks über diese Nacht hinaus erinnern soll.

SO SEI ES!
