Unholy Kiss
The immortal heart of blackness stained
With scarlet blood, the mortals bane
Wicked teeth of ivory sharp as steel
Mouth hungry for an innocent meal
The strength of Demons bound in his arms
A young lassie lost to his charms
Face raised to heaven, neck facing hell
His bite ecstasy and pain as well
Then a flashing spark, an angry cry
He jerks away as skin is fried
Beguiling lips not with lust aflame
But on fire just the same
For by her father when she was born
Blessed and given into God's arms
Trusted to his care in faithfulness
God bestowed this power to the lass
Her blood will burn if stolen from her veins
And so we turn to look again
We see the unholy leech on fire
No longer eternal but ash entire
