 VAMPIRE LAMENT

 for Fallowdoe's Spiegel im Spiegel

 the old world time was red and black
 we drained its continents of blood
 when the hunt was up
 we danced the plague
 and we conquered time and
 we gave it back
 only to fire

 but the old world dies

 when the world was young
 when the hunt was up
 on a night like this
 the Slayer fell
 into golden eyes
 we fell to dust
 she was worth the dance
 but the old world dies

 now the world is ours
 but, oh, it cools
 and its spark turns ash
 and it's full of fools
 and we live too long
 without the hope of
 fire and dust

 and the Slayer has
 abandoned us
 and we cannot die
