The Vampire

By SilentStalker

I find them in the darkness and they're never seen again.
A hunger for the blood of life runs through me now and then.

I'm damned to live eternally, no pleasure, taste, nor smell.
The truth of my existence lies within the Gates of Hell.

He runs, but then I catch him, and he dies against his will.
No matter how much blood I drink, my hunger is not filled.

No form of luck will save a man, as fate shall lead him through.
And do believe, for I perceive, the next may just be you.
