A Vampire's Journal
So calm the city night
That quickens
The heart of stone
An awakening
Of immoral desires
The day will not condone
These neon nights
Never seem to dull
A thirst for excitement
At an endless beggar's ball
The power of magic
The star-struck eyes
The crystal moon
So high in the sky
The illustrious fashions
Of the filthy rich
The seductive lure
Which drives my itch
Such smells and sights
Has only the night
As I turn to the shadows
And take to flight
Here I am sacred
Here I am whole
The night sets the stage
For my favorite role ...

The seductive lure
Which drives my itch

As I turn to the shadows
And take to flight
Here I am sacred
Here I am whole
