Red Liquid of Life

Folder: 
Gothic

It pumps through my veins giving me breath

This sought after precious liquid that I contain

Makes me a target of the wanton desires of the undead

Who crave the thick drink of it's silky smooth quench



I go though the night watching my every step

With but one goal to guard my precious stash of red

It is my river of life, or at least life as I know it to be

I fear that I could be turned to crave it as well



Who knows if I can survive each night into dawn

If they drink this liquid from me I am doomed

To wander the millenniums in search of the flow

Sipping the life of those that carry its spice



There is but one thing to do to insure survival

So that I may be saved and not lose my will

I slash my wrists and let it drain away from them

Doing this not to save my life but to save my soul
