It's been there when they did it in Vienna originally.
Carpe noctem, lamia! Decet diem excecrari.
Sanguim suga, belua! Debet pravum exsequari.
Inquiem perpetuum, dona nobis Satanas.
Bestia diaboli, dona nobis damnationem.
Kunze included it because he wanted the song to progress darker and darker, so the Kyrie wouldn't have been appropriate.
"Seize the night, vampire! One ought to curse the day.
Suck blood, oh creature! One ought to pursue ?wickedness?.
Oh Satan, grant us eternal unrest.
Oh devils' beasts, grant us damnation."
The verse has been on all the other albums (ie the live ones) too.
