The Calling

Last night I was bitten on the neck I don’t know by who I was seduced by darkness She came out of the mist and promised me things if I submit Her words were not true To her I was just a hapless victim A sinister smile her foul disease flowed through my circulatory system The very next day I awoke in a box covered with dirt I clawed my way out A brand new world Felt so cold and alive But the sunlight hurt I soon realized my blood no longer flows Deep down inside a hideous appetite grows Only one way to escape The answer is death So please drive this wooden stake through my chest I promise I will not defend myself Just please do it fast Or should I just wait for the sun Step out in the daylight and turn into ash Watch me blow away in the wind Gone in a flash
