The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I need the sunlight so I can lurk in the shadows

I need the starlight so you can see me fall

I need these words so I can tell you what nobody knows

I need your love so I can have it all



They don’t come to the darkness streaming in

It’s not enough to call those who fell

But to the light, blazing in the hearts of men

Calling loud and clear as a bell.



I need the fire to hide the ice within

I need the earth so I can fly free

I need the rhythm to make me live again

I knew despair, so I know how to believe



They circle round, and nobody else knows

You feel their eyes, but ignore them all the same

Coming closer, the unknowable foes

You cannot win; it’s not even the same game.



I need your strength, so I can be weak

I need your power, so I can fight them again

Give me this normalcy, for when I must be a freak

Fate can be fought within the hearts of men.
