The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I wave my banner nice and high

I see no soldiers respond to my cry

So I burn my flag and bury the ashes

What was once, was never before

And what should be is nothing but lore

I fight alone and bleed unseen

Passerbys do just that; they try to keep noses clean

My screams are anwered by the closing of shutters

Lights are dimmed; voices behind closed doors mutter



I scramble for my life, for my dignity, for my right to exist

I smell someone burning charcoal to write my death certificate

As my ripped nails drip blood and dirt, I struggle through

I am my own protector, my own soldier whose time is due

No one will come to my aide -- not for a one woman brigade

And just as in life, I'll soon be be that fond memory so quick to fade.



So to you all, I harbor no malice but bid a a fond adieu

I never would have learned where I stood without all of you

I learned what I am exceeds what many of you preach to be

False prophets sell snake oils to make you worship illusion

I cut not pinch to make sure I suffer no more delusion.
