Vampire Society, Acidic War
Vampires…. The lot of them
Society as a whole
Tongues and fangs dripping venom
Their purpose is to steal my soul
Grace and poise and eloquence
Sparkling black eyes, seemingly filled with concern
It’s all a façade of reverence
Hoping to keep away from the light of truth and its burn
Lies, lies, deceit and blood lust
Pestilence and Decay
Lifting you up only to send you to the dust
Close your eyes, my dear; all you can do is pray.
Run away; Run away.
Try and hide
What can we ever say?
Glassy eyed and drunk on our own pride
There are so many who are
Starved to death in a land of plenty
When will we tire of this game called war?
Never it seems; under these decrees.
Draining all the blood and originality
Lost in a sea of monotonous faces
Lost in hopeless conformity
Well, now doesn’t the song go, “Ashes to ashes”
So numb and callous
Doomed to an eternity of hurt
Heaven help us!
Squeeze the tourniquet and watch the blood spurt.
Fangs tearing the skin right off of our bones
Do we dare to feel?
Stare at the tombstones
Will these wounds ever, ever heal?
Are we doomed to the life of injustice?
The cries of children echo
Are we really so tactless?
Get ready to reap what you sow.
Screams and pleads for mercy
Falling upon deaf ears
How can we stand to carry ourselves so proudly?
We can never wash away those years.
Freedom is never free
Why do we believe the lie
That this isn’t ghastly?
Why can’t we just die?
We have condemned ourselves
To tortures of our own creation
This is real life, not a fairy tale of elves
Are we just waiting to be stricken?
In the dark night
Way down below, there exists
Such an entrancing sight, and I must say
There are things that I have done that you never should know
Like Lady Macbeth, when will we cry,
“Out damn spot!”?
How much longer will we continue to lie?
Is this life really for what we fought?
Just shut your eyes
As my throat is being penetrated by these deadly fangs
Kiss me goodbye
Stop. Think. Breath. Feel your heart’s pangs.
Just Sleep
Don’t think anymore
As up these walls, my ghost creeps
Listen to the words of ancient lore.
Abandon your mind
Close your eyes
Yet pay attention to the needs of mankind
Listen to the words of the wise.
