Walking along the path you built,
Searching for the life you lost,
Darkened skies and greystone cobbles pave your way.
Stumbling and picking yourself up again and again,
Stopping to wonder if life is worth finding but you always continue on.
Sometimes you get the courage to look back. All you see are corpses rotting away.
Almost choking, nearly gagging, riddled with guilt,
The life you lost you threw away, not caring at what expense or cost.
Not caring what others think, do or say.

To live is to die
All truth is but a lie

To sleep is to wake
Genuineness is fake

To love is to hate
Chances are fate

Atheism is belief
Bliss is only grief

We call tyranny democracy
In this world full of hippocracy.

Here are some of the names of various vampires, vampire-like creatures, demons, and spirits, and vampire hunters throughout the world, as well as "vampire" translated into other languages.

July 10, 2003 (The Herald Sun) - A Melbourne prostitute and alleged self-proclaimed vampire who was shot dead in his driveway was buried today. Shane Chartres-Abbott, 28, was gunned down as he left his family home in Howard Street, Reservoir, last month. About 30 family and friends attended the funeral at Preston this afternoon.

April 4, 1995 (The Fortean Times) - A man of 75, walking Jockel, his Dachshund, in Berlin on 4 April 1995, was attacked by a 43-year-old man who bit him on the neck, shouting "I am Dracula!" Passersby overpowered the attacker and handed him over to police. He said he had been drinking.

The victim went home and died an hour later from a heart attack.
