Princes' of the Night

They come out of their graves at night.
Stalking every innocent person they can find.
They're the Princes' of the Night.

Once they've tasted your sweet life,
There's no more hope for you.
You can take their offering and be one,
Or you can have your life taken and forever loss.
Take their offering and feed on life.
For if they chose you to be bitten,
It was meant to be.

The Princes' of the Night,
Are they evil or misunderstood?
Stricken by a horrible disease or blessed with power?
Their bite is fatal or the giver of life?
Demons from hell or people like you?
We shall see the truth once I have bitten thee'.

Eyes in the Dark

Eyes in the dark,
They hunt me all night long.
Flames the color of blood,
Fueled by my fear.

Eyes in the dark,
There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide,
They follow me everywhere.

Eyes in the dark,
They're getting closer,
I can feel their heat,
My flesh has begun to drip with sweat of fear.

The eyes are now engulfing me,
Redness is all that can be seen,
What to do-Hold my breath-Close my eyes, and....

I awaken from the nightmare.

Now the day has passed,
Night has fallen once more.
I fall to sleep.

Eyes in the dark,
They're gone-No more-And shall never return,
I've faced them-The fear has ceased,
For the only thing I ever feared in the eyes was...Myself.
