I sat in a bar last night
Drinking, yet sober.
All around me the nightlife swirled;
People spoke to me,
But I didn't really hear them,
Girls flirted,
But I didn't really respond,
Music played,
But I didn't move to its rythmns.
Why?
Prey was there for me,
But I didn't take it.
Why?
Perhaps because what I really missed
Was you:
The Dark Angel,
The cup-companion I always needed,
Partner in adventure and restless search
For amusement.
Now I sit in a big empty room

Slice my wrist at the break of day.
Drink of me that you may
Know who I am.

Your words and eyes
Say you are ready
To face all I offer
But you hesitate before
My hand you take......

Do you fear the absence of light?
Why fear the night?
The moon has its own sense of warmth,
That greets us with its silvery light.

Tell me now
Before it is too late
And the blood in your veins
My hunger awakes.

Life without Life --
Immortal Night
Or what death offers
Tis your choice--
