Tear open the demonic veils
That obscure the light of day.
Grasp at those entanglements
And rend them away!
The malevolent shade would keep you
In its numbing embrace.
It wants you to forget your name,
Surrender your will and
Distort your beautiful face.
The sinister shadow
Whispers lies to keep you afraid,
Withdrawn and dependent.
But you must never forget that you are
Born for freedom, resplendent!
Your unbounded birthright is permanent;  
You are a living treasure in a universe
Draped in a bejeweled firmament!
It is now the time to rise and respond.
It is your time to break these bonds!
Your elegant heart will guide you
Beyond the vampiric grave.
A new, bright, blessed existence  
Awaits you, outside your jaded cave.
