More than half of the members of the Royal Order of Religious Knights were massacred in episode 6; Sir Integra Hellsinger, Arucard, and Seras must now hunt down the perpetrators. The suspects include the Vatican's Iscariot Organization and whoever is making the "artificial vampirization catalyst semiconductor" or "freak chips" that turn humans into second-class ghouls. Some of the dialogue in this jejune gorefest is inadvertently hilarious. Seras asks another vampire, "How long have you been undead?" and a British Army officer says of suspected IRA members, "Even if they are no longer human, that doesn't mean their guilt as terrorists can be erased." Sir Integra is attacked by a vampire in episode 9 and stabs herself in the throat, rather than be enslaved by her own now-tainted blood. (Rated 16 and older, but unsuitable for viewers under 18: graphic violence, profanity, gore, violence against women, sexual situations) --Charles Solomon

Dracula [German translation] - Bram Stoker

The classic vampire story by Bram Stoker revolves around a struggle between good and evil, tradition and modernity, and lust versus chastity. The author didn’t invent vampires, but his novel has so captured the public’s imagination that he is rightly considered their popularizer. Listen and you will meet not only the Count himself, but heroes Jonathan Harker and Abraham Van Helsing, plus an array of madmen, psychiatrists, and fair maidens who cross paths with the fanged menace.

(Summary by Paula)

Drawing Blood

So long I've supressed this midnight hunger
And hidden from Night's dark embrace
I have not waltzed over Twilight's embers
Nor felt the moon's kiss on my face

And yet one look upon your hand's writings
Your drawing blood, and I am caught
They awaken, all my darkest cravings
And graces I had long forgot

And so I dance with light and shadows
I pray, and I am most afraid
For its from my tomb your visage tears me
Shreds all the safety I had made.

Dance of Death

When darkness falls
The beasts of prey
Call you from your shallow slumber
The Ancient voice
Echoes in your mind
And brings you sweet insanity

You feel the thirst
It's everything
Taking over body and soul

It's too late now
You can't resist
Begin your deadly dance

Now darkness falls
And the beasts of prey
Call you from your shallow slumber

Death and carnage
Sustain your being
And drown you in insanity

Mirrors

I have tried again and again to be happy,
And stay in this world of yours,
Not playing by my own rules,
But by yours,
Contained in self indulgence,
And behind heavy curtains I hinde behind a mask,
Known for it's intensity and madness,
Should I be amazing today?
Or that psychotic bitch that lurks behind every dark corner of your mind?
How about the happy liar, who smirks at your every distateful comment?
How about another day?
Can I be myself today?
Alone, staying here watching the world go by,

Rebirth

I am a creature that crawls in the night...
I haunt your dreams and memories
and feast upon your fright.
There is no use in fleeing..
just let me being freeing you from this
ever tedious mortal coil.
I will find you once more,
and again you'll be mine.
