Vampire
I look in the mirror and nothing is there.
I cry but there’s no trace of tears.
I scream and the night wind answers my call.
I am just what everyone fears.
I fly through the shadows under the moon.
In darkness I’ve hunted and fed.
I bleed through the alleys, my hunger as guide
And I follow wherever I’m led.
I am not a legend, I am real. I am free!
I run with the beasts in the wild.
I cannot be taken. I’ll never be tamed,
But I’ll never be loved, just reviled.
While you are sleeping, I enter your dreams.
I’m the cold chill that runs down your back.
My thirst is stronger than your will to live.
I am everything you wish to lack.
I hypnotize with the sound of my voice,
My eyes absorb all trace of light.
I hide in the darkness under the earth
But at nightfall I always take flight.
I know you can hear me, you know what I need.
I can feel the warmth in your bones.
I long to take you into my embrace
But I’m doomed to be always alone.
Oh, I’ll be alive forever.
And I will be dead for all time.
Survival is really my only endeavor
But my soul will never be mine.
No, my soul will never be mine…
