runes of long forgotten language,
enchantment over broken bones
sacred words of ancient wisdom,
carved in marble, carved in stone
in a tomb his body lies,
away from light and prying eyes
soon to come the waking hour,
blood lust, hunger, darkend sky

crimson, pablum, fare
ambrosia of life, mere mortals beware
crimson, necter and wine
the body its vat the veins to refine

whispers on the wind, the moon has risen
no solace givin to the startled prey
soul inlistilled, sedated craving,
life force ebbing, fade to grey
splinter of wood to tear so deep,
innocent thorn an endless sleep
swirl of mist soon to disperse,
approaching dawn, eternal curse

passage denied by unbidden entry
hallowed ground prevents his way
sleepless child too naive to fear him,
wakes up to her final day
cunning seducer, prince of desire,
no looking glass could hold his eye
tales of evil with folklore written,
avowals given condemend to die
