The Last Vampire Part 1 - a Collaboration With Jack Blackman

"The Last Vampire" (Part one, written by Jimmy Anderson)
Sebastian: For centuries I've eagerly hunted my brother,
We shared the same father but a different mother.
Finally I found his home on the side of a mountain
In a well hidden cave.
That mountain would leak blood like a fountain and be 
his eternal grave!
Like me he was a vampire with such extraordinary power,
But I was the one with eyes of sapphire and he , I was determined
to devour!
His coven I began to annihilate, but I craved to rip his 
black heart from his chest.
I will eliminate those pathetic souls who are out of control and possessed.
A flicker of my hand before they could understand
burned them inside out!
One by one, wooden stakes in my hand destroyed them in their 
own hideout.
Weak vampires that did not deserve the gift of eternal life -
Several stakes through her heart, ripping her apart, I killed 
my brother's wife!
I yelled, "Where are you? Show your pathetic face!"
His whole coven I slew and I found him facing a giant fireplace.
His back remained to me and I stood about 10 feet from him,
I could hear him quietly humming an old vampire hymn.
The fire blazed in the fireplace, and I drew my long silver sword.
I said, "Turn, look into my face, and kneel before your lord!"
