If you want a thing bad enough
To go out and fight for it,
Work day and night for it,
Give up your time and your peace and
your sleep for it
If only desire of it
Makes you quite mad enough
Never to tire of it,
Makes you hold all other things tawdry
and cheap for it
If life seems all empty and useless without it
And all that you scheme and you dream is about it,
If gladly you will sweat for it,
Fret for it, Plan for it,
Lose all your terror of man for it,
If you will simply go after that thing that you want.
With all your capacity,
Strength and sagacity,
Faith, hope and confidence, stern pertinacity,
If neither cold poverty, famished and gaunt,
Nor sickness nor pain
Of body or brain
Can turn you away from the thing that you want,
If dogged and grim you besiege and beset it,
You will get it!
The moonlight is shining like a thousand highlighted tears,
The restless dead are singing to me through endless years,
I feel the eyes of ancestry weighing me with their fears,
And I realize that I am here alone.
The silent stars are bathing the spirits of the night
The wistful passions of yesteryear return with a fright
And I wonder if they realize that they are apart of eternal night
And I realize that Im not here alone
Where are they now that they cannot see my face
Where are they now that they cannot find their place
I wish I could find an answer to help them find a trace
That they arent really alone
So are they cold and empty or just shadows on the wall like me
Are they forgotten by the memories and faces that only they can see
And is this as close to heaven that they will ever be
Or are we all just this alone.
Vampire take my heart
Vampire steal my soul
When I am but weak my love
With feelings I cannot control
My eyes are only for you
And all that I hold dear
Vampire in my life you linger
Banishing my mortal fears
Why must I be so lonely?
Locked in my prison of blood
When all my crimes were of loving you
I drowned my sorrows, I submerged my sins
All for the one i once called my own.
From where I watch you
You seem so faraway
Just out of reach from my grasping hand
In my grave I lay
The nightime holds my sweet surrender
The lightime blinds my eyes
And though to you I seem so dead
I am very much alive
I cry, I weep for your passion once more
Silently in my crypt
For I can never see you again
Or utter your name on my lips.
Raining tears from you eyes,
Such bliss,
Undisguised.
Accepted,
Looked over,
And Forgotten.
If you feel so much torment,
In your life, that makes you have the need to cry.
Shouldn't there be symbols to show, those days,
And the ones where you just want to die away,
Unnoticed?
Bring forth this fatal tool;
Lust has made it arise with temptations,
The forbidden desire,
Of the ones who can't show,
The emotions they must hold.
These days honored with lust fulfilled,
And always remembered, until.
Your rotting corpse of,
Flesh and bone,
Are replenished to,
The Earth unknown.

And so we stand in the pouring rain, with out any one knowing any better, never seeing our pain. Our path continues on, as we walk singing our hollowed beloved song...
An erotic night in which he had planned
As I gave in to his every demand
My skin like milk and body so cold
My soul once mine has now been sold
His eyes they glowed in the pitch black room
With a smile on his face to seal my doom
My nails so sharp I scraped down his chest
His blood then trickled onto her breasts
We shared our blood in the passion and fire
A taste so sweet that we both now desire
I can see his face in every candle flame
All I ask is to know his name
I knew right then we were meant to be
Because the man I loved was cursed like me
For he hates the morning and loves the night
Our lust increase's by the fires light
He hunts like an animal as he stalks his prey
For the victim he gets will never see another day
He fed on the innocent and his feelings were blind
Until he confronted another of his kind
It was I he had met and with no regret
We pierced each other to start the bloodlet
Our wounds so deep the blood would not stop
We kept our lips locked and enjoyed every drop
A whole new world that he didn't see
We now share together for all eternity.
