...A Vampires Lament...
Lay me down, my love.
Down, down in immortal sleep.
Red roses for you, my love.
Petals, blood red. Cruel thorns that cut so deep.
Drip,
drip,
drip,
your essence, my love. Into my yearning soul.
Let me learn your lessons, my love.
And, may I learn them well.
Eternity is ours, my dear.
Time for us is lost.
Forever's enthral waits for us, my child.
But, oh, at such a cost.
Blood soaked sheets for thee, my love.
Will now adorn the tomb in which you dwell.
Death no longer waits for you, dear heart.
We are now creatures bound in perpetual hell.
Come lay beside me and dream, my love.
Dream sweet dreams of rapture, only the damned can dream.
Drink from me all thee can take, dear child.
Come now, and pierce tender skin.
Drink deep of my deep claret wine, sweet one.
Feel it pulsate through your veins.
Feel the wrath, the passion, the pain, true heart.
Feel the yearning, which others fear to name.
Take your fill of me, my love.
Through my eyes, see the horrors I've seen.
Then, I'll take my fill of you, true love
For we are the un-dead,
and you are my queen.
Time shrouds a veil around us, my love.
A curtain, deep velvet and thick.
Boundless in time are we, my beloved.
The seconds for us fail to tick.
So, come lay thee down, cherished one.
Lay down beside my deathly form.
And, we shall drink deep, we shall dream, we shall revel, my love.
Till the morning, doth bring with her the dawn.
Farewell
