The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Do not stand at my grave and weep

I am not there. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry;

I am not there. I did not die.

I am proud to wear black

So there's no going back

I have discovered the inner me

Now I know my true identity

No more fighting blues and depression

No need for violence or aggression

The darker side of my being

Has revealed other ways of seeing

A community of friends

Whose concern never ends

Enveloped by darkness

And a world of kindness

It seems that the outsiders of society

Have stolen my dark soul in its entirety

So welcome the new day

I have found a different way
