A Void of Darkness I took great bliss From that immense kiss The touch of immortal flesh It soothes you with a merciful caress All fear drains from your every pore Your soul frees into a soar Then from that beauty an evil appears An evil greater than all your fears In just one thrust your hunger ends And a void of darkness begins As a dark angel you arise Weeping at the night with your vampire eyes With a piercing tooth and a silkened lip Into a mortal’s neck you have bit A collector of lives you have become Who endures the night and dies by the sun In this death you have found peace Forever you shall have it, for your life signs will never cease So as the sleeper of pain you sit on your throne Where body and soul are never alone

We The People This era This world This place It is only made of self destruction Recreation is impossible For we are the takers We created hate We created death We are our fears To think your mind can take control It will go on a mission A mission to terminate all This world is close to its end We are its end We are finishing what we started To think we could have created a place of dreams A place of hopes But our hate grows too strong So we wait We wait for the end We the people

The Shadow To see the dark side of myself To see my shadow It follows me It watches me It speaks with me, and it dances with me Does it go away My shadow The darkest side of me
