People are afraid of my kind
No one is safe when I am around
I do not sleep at night, I do not ever sleep
I died many moons ago
I am a vampire
The undead

I walk the streets looking for innocent humans
The blameless are always a better kill
Their blood, more health-giving
There's always a chance of an after-life with us
A creature of the night
I am a vampire
The Undead

In a coffin made of blood, made of blood
Kiss me baby
So I can taste your blood
I am dead, living-dead

April 19, 2007 (Independent Online / Irene Kuppan / SOUTH AFRICA) -- Paramedics on Wednesday saved the life of a man claiming to be a vampire and intent on committing suicide. The man, believed to be aged about 40, was discovered hanging on the wrong side of a bridge railing above railway lines along Argyle Road.

September 11, 1997 (NEWPORT, R.I./AP) - Rhode Islanders have been guarding themselves for months against mosquitoes infected with a potentially deadly virus, but Christopher Rondina says the state's past is filled with stories of a far scarier bloodsucker: vampires.

Are you a fallen angel?
Did you commit a deadly sin?
Did you eat away a child's dreams
and rot the heart within?
Were you ever called an angel?
Did you reign from high above?
Were you ever called an angel?
Were you made of dreams and love?

Death to the wicked, I declare
Peace to the restless whom I scare
Kill for spite;
What an appetite
For destruction it is that I have
Listening for my scream
Seeing my delight
Madness in my eyes
Sparkles very bright
Searing heat seizes me;
Chilling coldness grips
My body rebels that which is given
For now I cannot see
Laughing just for spite
Crying out with all my might
Pleading with the lion;
The Unicorn roars into the night
Stars sparkle and shine
I am losing my mind
