You lay before me
Unwounded yet fallen
Sorrowful yet blissed
Art thou still mine?

Is this fantasy
Or real? It’s all the same
Why was I your Romeo?
Why were we the ones?

Why did you fall?
Why did you leave me
When I wasn’t there?
Why didn’t I help?

There’s a sorrow that can’t be reached
There are the stars that fall when you come to close
And you are one of them, I know
I always knew you’d fall

I have got to record that album one day.

Heaven opened before me
Swallowed me into its shell and spat me out
I barely saw the world turn away
I barely felt the burning bite

They told me I am not alone no longer.
They told me that finally, I am at rest,
Not dead nor alive,
With my heart pounding in the pace of my family.
They told me to walk with them.
I was given raven wings,
Crimson, sharpened teeth,
and a new heart in this life after death.

Feeling scared, lonesome and hated
I couldn’t bare not seeing my reflection
Cracking my mirror with my very pawn
Watching the blood run through the drain

They told me the secret of paradise is sin
They told me that whatever I do, at least I’m better than them.
They told me the only key to the gate of golden ember
Is the one in my very throat.
They told me to carry on my life work or everything is lost,
That while sins not last forever so does life.

They told me hope will always be the only way to heaven.

Stab me
In this darkness
Cure me
Before I avenge myself
Kill me
Only illumination can
Cure me
To become myself again

Oh, this is the end
I will never be myself again
Oh, this is the end
Of human kind, and it’s all my fault

- Sometimes paradise is closer than heaven -

Is it true what someone once said
That reality sometimes is stranger than fiction?
Who actually believes the fairy tales?
But then again
How many people does not check under their bed
Before they go to sleep?
How many people can walk the woods
Without having to resist calling for the Fair Maiden?
How many does not really believe in us?
How many are really scared of us?

A quote from a poem of my own, Them Crimson Bites, written in 2007 or 2008 I believe.

From my grave to wander I am forced
Still to seek the God’s long server’d link,
Still to love the bridegroom I have lost,
And the lifeblood of his heart to drink.

Quote from one of the earliest vampire tales, The Bride of Corinth (1797) by Goethe. I’ve always loved vampire literature, and my current school project concerns the history of the fictional vampire.

“Hey, it’s destroying all the other toys! Why is it doing that?!”
“It must have been programmed to it?”
“What, you mean like Microsoft?”

Tell me how many times can this story be told 
After all of these years it should all sound so old 
But it somehow rings true in the back of my mind 
As i search for a dream that words can no longer define

“You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.
