*She held him in her eyes, every word drifting into her mind like a song. A tragic lonely song.* His voice, "You know, I've told you the truth, you know his intentions, yet you seem paralyzed to break free from his hold on you. *holding her face in his rough but gentle hand and wiping a cheek with his finger* I have to let you go, it kills me to see you sacrifice yourself to that monster, but it's out of my hands...."

September 9, 2008 (Pretoria News) -- A fad for vampire teeth means health troubles ahead, a health insurer warned Monday in Germany, where lovers of spooky Gothic music have been filing their canine teeth into sharp points.

What do you see, with camera in hand
Each pose of a memory, virtue and sin
Clicking thousands of times
For the one chance gaze of a time yet passed
Brushing golden hair, from star lined eyes
Lulling the beasts to slumber
Rise and fall, such titanic feasts
Soiled hands without the spectrum of light
Have you ever let another, hold the picture of you?
With every shot, each different angle
Not possible to capture such beauty
Crawl or Kneel, touch the lens
Fingers dipping into this soul each night

What is this thing I'm feeling?
A flash of light burning through my veins.
Or is it just my soul they're stealing away.
Don't know how I started,
But I never want to stop.
Just want to keep on flying away.

Lights that flash
Burn my brain
Twisting colours
Break the frame
Another plane I want to go
Am I insane?
I just don't know.

Where is it I'm running?
Like a theif breaking through the night.
It doesn't really matter anyway.

Slicing through the darkness

Throughout the ages, attacks on people have been attributed to supernatural creatures like werewolves and vampires, but in 1886, a German neurologist named Richard von Krafft-Ebing noted the compulsive and sexual presentation of the attacks. He wrote about them in Psychopathia Sexualis, and many of his 238 case histories concerned a violent eroticism triggered by blood.
