Orexis - Vampire

Lingering far out of reach

for the conscious mind

hovers a slumbering insanity

to which we are blind

The curtain falls down

The awe can begin

The truth is revealed

without and within

Cloaking the nature of things

in a comforting guise

under the coat of society

a darkness resides

The curtain falls down

The awe can begin

The truth is revealed

without and within

The veil is removed

and an eye glances back

Let go of it all and

we’re under attack

Concealing the unpleasant truth

in a union of lies

behind the veil of reality

this monster abides

The curtain falls down

The awe can begin

The truth is revealed

without and within

The veil is removed

and an eye glances back

Let go of it all and

we’re under attack

In the murk of the backyard at night time

in the gloom of the miscreant’s vice

in the glance from the bypassing stranger

is a crack that sheds light on a netting of lies
