Vampire Crystal

A Vampire's Tragedy

 

Alone I sit on the top of a hill

Thinking of how my unlife has been

Of the pain and the sorrow I've seen

In the eyes of my victims before they lay still.

 

Though a hunter in darkness I must be

The feelings of guilt always come back

When I sink my teeth in another man's neck

My conscience is the only light left in me.

 

All I want is to leave the shadows behind

And truly this time I will

For I no longer desire to kill

Thoughts of light are now on my mind.

 

I'm waiting for the sunrise today

On the lonely hill where I sit

And maybe, I'll catch a glimpse of it

Before the wind blows my ashes away.
