Safe in the darkness where I live-
I prey upon those who live in the light.
I drink their blood and then return home,
To my sanctuary in the night.
No arms of love will I find here,
No kisses filled with sweet dreams,
I live in a lonely sanctuary of shadows,
For the life of a vampire isn't always what it seems.
There's so much that is lost to me.
I can't recall the colors of the sunrise.
Or the flowers in the park at noon.
For in the night is where your dream dies.
I can't recall the smile upon a mortal face.
The laughter of children playing in the ocean sand-
Of the cloudless sky of blue,
For my sanctuary is a very dark and dreary land.
Under the moon I hunt and play,
Seeking to end the lives I find,
I feed upon hatred and fear-
Perhaps my true sanctuary lies in the dark shadows of my victim's mind
