The World Is a Vampyre

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The world is a vampire, feeding upon priceless hearts and souls ~

Ever thirsting; its desires to disguise these penetrating fangs 

While as draining the lifes blood from their very natures veins.... 

Theorems kingdom of pain amid the coffins in its own, self-mutilating ironies 

Fallen, from the throne of grace unto the shadows made; tis this fate!? 

Sorrow peering into their looking glass standing upon, the edge of light 

Disappearing from their eyes, while the piercing rains gather time....
