They are 30 seconds and are from THE MUSIC of DRACUL CD.  They have been sampled at a low rate to reduce the file size and therefore some quality has been compromised to accomplish this.

Last updated on 10 January,  2008. Website designed by Minion CAN IT BE THAT EASY DRACULA (circling Mina) You must choose your path. You have already been bitten twice - but it is not too late to return to your other life. Thrice bitten, you will die. But if we share blood, we will be one. We will live forever.   Addressing the picture of Helene. Do my eyes deceive me? Can it be that easy? Is my torment soon to be rewarded with your love? Like a glowing ember, I can still remember how our passion burned so strong yet lived so short a time. Have you returned to haunt me, to simply tease and taunt me? If so my heart is yours to feed your lust for blood. You once left me broken, vows of vengeance spoken. So I chose my fate and yet through all I can't escape that I have never stopped loving you. Again circling Mina. As the wheel keeps turning, so my soul keeps burning Let this latest twist of fate be one more cruel jest. If we be together, let it be forever. We shall go as one to face our greatest final test. I would have died to save her, torn out my eyes to raise her. Yet my reward was only loneliness and pain. Do I not deserve you? Heaven won't preserve you. Now your fate is mine you will, like me, be damned in time and we will live once again as one.   Sensuously touching frozen Mina's hair, face, neck.   I will possess you. Hold, and caress you for I have been patient too long. I can but charm you, slowly disarm you. Soon all your fears will be gone. And so together we will be, if need through all eternity. We both shall share the living hell which has been mine.     A wave of his hand revives her.   But when I take you. I will slowly take you. All of my pain you can end. And I will not be cheated again. No!, my heart won't be broken again.   She closes her eyes, exposes her neck. He kisses her, then works his way down to her neck and then pulls away, he has heard a noise. RETURN POISON VOICES Afurisire DRACULA Damnation.
