A great glowing orb sinks behind the horizon
Another sphere, silver and shimmering, rises to take her brother's place
Farewell Apollo, greetings Diana
Cast your light upon this hurt little girl
Fill her with your understanding and love
Do not let her weep in anguish

She looks up to the silvery orb
Diana's light glitters, filling the girl's tears with specks of fairy dust
The girl stands up, lifting her arms
"Diana," she whispers, "take me home"

Silver light surrounds the girl

Paint your face all black and white
A harlequin monster to walk the night
and Shadowwork your deepest fears

A puppet in the master's hand
To rape and burn in this forever land
Your soul to cry, choke back the tears

Open your eyes
And breathe in the hatred
Swallow the lies
And swim in abasement
But don't ever let go of me

Wine like blood spill down your throat
You're lost like love, forlorn and remote
And viscious dreams play into desire

Flaming tongues scream out your name

June 20, 2007 (The Daily Times / Rhys Saunders / Aztec, NM) -- A 28-year-old man who did not deny robbing and attacking a man dressed as a vampire Oct. 31 outside Safeway on West Main Street in Farmington was sentenced Monday to three years of supervised probation.

June 3, 2007 (The Sunday Telegraph / Paul Lampathakis) -- Bram Stoker's over-active imagination has twisted Transylvania into the equivalent of a Dracula theme park. But this former principality of the Austro-Hungarian Empire overflows with history, architecture and culture.

Countless killers during the 20th century have been inspired by the predatory and seductive manner of the most famous vampire in fiction and film, Count Dracula. Published in 1897 in England, the novel Dracula has never been out of print. According to vampire scholar Martin V. Riccardo, of the approximately 300 vampire movies made since Bela Lugosi played the bloodsucker on the silver screen in 1931, a third have been about the character of Dracula.
