Funeral Vampire

A collaboration with Ghost.

In a crypt

deep in an abandoned graveyard

she sleeps in a stone coffin

as darkness descends

as evening bird song grows loud

she stirs, waking with the rising moon

the sharp cry of a coyote's bark

the sky overhead becomes dark blue

a chill breeze rises

rattling the tree limbs

the stars begin to sparkle

as the sky turns a midnight shade

the funeral vampire must rise

crimson need burns deep within

she leaves behind her hollow tomb

climbs high into the cool night sky

soaring above the ground she seeks prey

the moon glows upon her frost white skin

her eyes cold and dead to the beauty of light

below a dead man is buried and she descends

she stares at the living blood below

mourners who have come to say goodbye

sweeping down from the sky she lands near a tree

none of those gathered notice death lurking near

she picks her meal and calls to him with her mind

he hears her summons and he can't resist

as the dead is lowered he turns and slips away

the vampire meets him, pulling him into deeper shadows

under her spell he doesn't realize he's about to die

when he sees her fanged smile its too late for him

she pulls him into a steel embrace

there is no hope of escape

her long sharp fangs pierce his warm flesh

she siphons his crimson bleeding his veins bone dry

his beating heart is silenced as death eats his soul

his body crumbles to the ground at the Funeral Vampire's feet

a smile lingers upon her blood stained face, her eyes shine with

delight

his warm blood has soothed her cold undead flesh and she ascends to the night sky

a new funeral will dawn for her prey and this fate will bloom ever again

each night she escapes her cold tomb to drain our life blood as we mourn the descending dead.
