Vampires

We stalk the night like disastrous beasts
Hiding in the alley-way waiting for prey
Year after year, day after day
Time does not weary us

An unsuspecting victim
Not knowing their fate
With no escape
Soon to be deceased

I hear our victims heart beating miles away
Fresh blood is what I need

I look to my other
A hungry look in his eye
Feeling no remorse
For what we have become

From dusk 'til dawn
We prowl around town
trying to satisfy this never ending thirst

We are creatures of the night
Our hearts not beating
Damned for the rest of eternity
We are vampires
