Call of the Kindred
Come to me, little mortal
I can bring you to heaven's portal
There'll be no sorrow, there'll be no pain
Feelings of joy will fill your brain
Come to me, sweet human thing
Give me your heart and I'll make it sing
Forget your fears, leave them behind
Forget the troubles of your kind
Come to me... yes, that's right
Now hold still, it's no good to fight
I'll take your blood, and leave you dying
Didn't you realise I could be lying?

A Vampire's Tragedy
Alone I sit on the top of a hill
Thinking of how my unlife has been
Of the pain and the sorrow I've seen
In the eyes of my victims before they lay still.
Though a hunter in darkness I must be
The feelings of guilt always come back
When I sink my teeth in another man's neck
My conscience is the only light left in me.
All I want is to leave the shadows behind
And truly this time I will
For I no longer desire to kill
Thoughts of light are now on my mind.
I'm waiting for the sunrise today
On the lonely hill where I sit
And maybe, I'll catch a glimpse of it
Before the wind blows my ashes away.

My lost love..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I look at your picture..
I come to think..
Where are you?
Your laughter, your sorrows
Your love..
I miss you..
I knew that our love was real..
Why didn´t you give me a chance..?
Why did you leave me..?
I love thee, my rose..
Now, I will cry myself to sleep..
I miss my love..
Where are you..?
I stand here all alone..
Alone, without an end in sight..
I feel the sorrow..
I can see it so clear now..
The end is coming for me too..
As I wandered through the night..
I said to myself..
I will join you soon..
I love you..
And another tear fell..
For you..
My love..
Of Things Lost ...
An icy wind blows silent across an ancient court yard
Hidden, deep in the forgotten depths she lies
Sleeping now, awaiting Night's call.
And when it comes, she stirs, awaking, yet again
Eyes yet clouded open as she rises to sit
And gaze upon the ruins of ancient splendor,
And thoughts of a time, so long ago, when
She danced and sang among friends and family
And knew love and joy and could smile at each with ease.
And now a tear, falls slowly from ice blue eyes
For even now she remembers that which was lost.
She stands and lets her eyes wander, watching, listening
As those who dwell with her in the Night, sing her
Name and of her beauty.
Slowly now she walks through empty. cold halls
Filled now with but memories of love and joy and song.
Ahead the golden glow of Night's moon slips through cracks
And beckons to her and onward she glides ...
But stops for a moment, the look of sorrow upon her sweet lips,
To wonder and remember all the days gone by.
And now, above her, a hawk sings to her ... and she smiles
"Ah, my friend we are like one ... hunters in the night."
She turns and puts thoughts of a life lost behind and
Slips into the night. And thoughts weave again in her soul
"Who will feed this hunger this night ...?"
And another blood red tear falls.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He gazes in wonder at the beauty of the woman before him,
the glow of the moon's light reflects off the smooth
perfection of creamy skin. He bows, his eyes downcast
as he realizes that his words never reached her.
