The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

The light is faint and far off

The curtains will soon close

But closing brings the light faster

I try to hide away from it

The shadows bring such comfort

But it's always there

There is no escape for me

No matter how deep I run

How thick the darkness I find

The light is always there

How I hate it

For within the light I have no peace

How I wish to be free

The world has not changed

A king sits on a crushed velvet thrown

He sits making grand proclamations

He eats of gourmet dinners

While his paupers squat in their own shit

They struggle for the scraps from a table

Bitterly the struggle on and on



In anger I strike at the mirror

But the reflection only gets clearer

Reality only gets nearer



Our chosen champions deny us

Prostitutes warming the beds of the Bourgeoisie

Lining their pockets with our rightful silver

Drinking of our blood and tears

We the rebels do not rebel

Walking either blindfolded or with eyes cast down

Pretending to be grateful for our pennies



You may try to run and hide

Try to set the matter aside

Yet the truth will not be denied



This is the society we have built

Pillars founded on the rotting flesh of our dreams

Original concepts and purpose traded for bastardized knock offs

The generic commericialzation of value

We walk the rank streets over and over

Pretending not to notice the putrid mess around us

Or pretending a broom will sweep it all up



My hearts tears fall to the floor

Just when I think it'll cry no more

I see they're a river without shore

Waves of sound crashover me

Electricity runs along my skin

The base pushes and pulls my body

As a flame is in the wind

So I am in the rhythm

The music turns me loose

Into the darkness I go

To the shadows I love and know

To the truth that pulls me in

To the peace that feels like sin

Where I let go and don't care

Where all is stripped bare

Where I am truly me

The place I am meant to be

I love it in my dreams

A place where all is as it seems

Where I can taste your lips

And brush your face with my finger tips

I can sit and stare at your smile

Everything is perfect for that while
