The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Somewhere near the shores of dreaming

overlooking the cliffs of humanity

there is a spot where the rocks jut skyward

and the seas of pleasure and pain meet

before crashing into the pillar of rocks

Though the sun is always shining bright

and the view is forever perfectly clear

there is nothing but confusion and chaos

upon this column of jagged rocks



This is where our hearts are forged

where our very souls are cast and made

But most of all, it is where we all return

on those endless nights when we're searching

searching for something more



Each and every one of us has been here

though none of us have seen this place

We've all stood upon that mighty cliff

and stared longingly into space

We dream of Gods and demons

we dream of memories gone by

we inhale the salty scent of love and heartache

as the seas of agony an extacy mingle at our feet



We all know this place exists

we feel it in the pit of our being

We know the loneliess found atop of the cliff

and the frustration of never seeing enough

We've all leaned forward that one hair too far

and screamed as we were grabbed by the sea beneath us

where we get tossed and turned

just another lost soul trying to swim for shore

while drowning in ourself



But it's there on the shores of dreaming

as wet, naked and battered souls

we finally gain the wisdom we sought

As we cough up the last drops of misery

we see the miracle in life it self

Overwhelmed, we start dancing

skipping down the black sandy beach of dreaming

singing a song, flinging the notes at the air



Maybe we're laughing at rain

or crying to the four winds

but at least we're free from that jagged cliff

at least until we come searching

searching again for something more...once agian.

It's very ancient and mischievous,

It's solitary and sly.

Born of magic older than man,

It came from heaven in the sky.

I feel it each time our lips touch,

It's your love that came to earth.

I loved you before we meet,

Even before our birth.

It seems as if it was destiny,

That we are now one.

And i feel that our love will last,

In to the shadows of the morning sun.

Standing alone under an evening sky

watching the world spin by me

I see the faces of those lost souls

dancing in the winds of change

and pouring through the sands of time



No one sees me standing there alone

Turning away when I don't dance to the beat

or march to the drums of a thousand fools

They pretend I'm not there

whispering about me as if I couldn't hear

just a piece of broken glass

a part of the scenery

simply waiting to be thrown away



But there I stand

all alone to tomorrow

quietly challenging the song around me

by refusing to sing/dance along

Instead watching as empty hearts walk along

looking past the invisible child

just standing there

waiting for the rain



And it's there I'll stand in a thousand years

long after the dance has carried the fools away

even after my body has given in to the grip of time

my place will remain unchanged



For I am the outcast

the one who refused the dance of a thousand fools

forced to suffer the wind and the rain

and stand transparent to the world around me

But the only one to remain

when the music stops and time marches on

grinding the dancers into dust

and scattering their memory to the winds of change



Though I'm left to an empty world

you'll never see tears in my eyes

I'll raise my glass with the other invisible souls

as we watch the last sand in the hourglass of time

trickle through to the bottom

winding down the universe

letting us know our work is done

and that the ageless can now age no more.
