Suspended in the air
stealing the gift of life
the vampire frightens his victim
causing much strife
Drinking in the blood
tastier in fear
now in a frenzy
no help is near
Leaving the lifeless body
the vampire makes his way
crawling into the darkness
before the light of day
Awakening the next evening
something has changed
looking around
things are quite strange
The marble body
once strong with power
dna being rewritten
now being devoured
Organism growing
pain in his veins
a new body emerging
acquiring a soul in chains
Transformation complete
feeling constant fire
living without hope
situation is dire
Crying out for mercy
within the fires of hell
a hand lifts him
out of the fiery well
Thrown back into time
to where it all began
a choice to be a vampire
or a mere man
Awake again
blood continues to flow
vampire or a man
only the nightmare will know
