Vampire Rising

He awoke from his grave, confused;
While around there was nothing to which he could fuse;
In the dead of the night, owls wings flapping in flight;
He punched his way clear of the coffin:
He had risen again!

As he regained his senses, he looked around,
And as he did he saw an auriferous tomb.
But when he walked inside, he couldn't believe his eyes:
Beings feasting on human necks, which forced him into a terrible retch.
They looked around and threw him a glare, then carried on eating their victims rare,
So he swiftly departed and fell on his knees, frightened, he panicked and crawled for the trees.

Coming from nearby, whimpering he heard.
He walked over the look, the girl then screamed.
She showed him a mirror, but he was not in there,
He licked his teeth when the horror dawned...

A vampire he'd become!
He ran through the night
Leaving visions of fright,
Running blind
But leaving behind
A certainty of celestial doom.

When he reached the old town hall he walked inside,
And then barricaded the doors so that he couldn't get outside.
He walked to the reception and he asked for some help,
But when she looked up at his face, she almost died.
She fell off her chair and collapsed in a heap,
But not before she managed a squeak.
He looked at her there just lying blank,
So he bit her neck and drank...

Blood was on his face, dripping to the floor,
So he ran to the bog, and wiped it on his shirt.
Then he realised what he had done,
So he opened the window and leapt to the floor.

A vampire he'd become!
He ran through the night
Leaving visions of fright,
Running blind
But leaving behind
A certainty of celestial doom.

(Solo: Blade)

A vampire he now was!
He was a creature of the night
Leaving people with bites!
Chasing food
And leading his brood
To victory over humankind!
