summer softly left,from utsalady bay
the wind's gentle rain,
drove the tourists away
we know of the danger ahead
but we stay
when the vampires return
to spread their decay
a hawks steadfast sentry
of the port susan sky
as triton patrol
the bay's passers-by
i aknowledge with strangers
dead in the eye
as the vampires return
for the winter is nye
a precedence of minion
'neath a duvet of fog
dredge a network sarcofagi
in the steamy slough bog
They then mark each gravesite
with fir driftwood logs
to accomodate cadaevors
who'll rot there like dogs
we head home at dusk
and stay 'til the dawn
they reign in the night
and they feast and they spawn
secure in our fortress
unless we invite
the one's who we fear
who bloodlust in the night
i stand in the dark
at the edge of my deck
and wish for a lover
to feast from my neck
my life now half over
i can't afford to ignore
so i seek out night's children
to supply me with more
then i think i hear something
and look toward the skies
a figure descending
with bloodthirsty eyes
fear overcomes me
i bolt for the door
and lock it behind me
to dream immortal no more
so i close fast the curtains
and i sneak off to bed
I keep grandma's rosary
close to my head
so heed me this warning
for at dusk they take flight
and no one survives
the vampire's bite.
