There Is a Shadow Like To Doom

There is a shadow like to doom Whose darkness shakes the very gloom Of solitude in my lonely mind Of solace that I’ve yet to find Tis like a lover wishing well Alone atop a distant knell Alone upon a grave of stone Where vampires are wont to roam This anguish taints the very blood As though there wakes a sudden lust A vampire in the dark awakes And with his bite the heart it breaks Oh wretch of torments time must tell The very loneliness of hell Would cast on thee the sudden spell Of lovers wishing well In agony then my soul awakes As though the morning could not brake The chains which sorrow thus have bound The anguish of a love unfound
