Prince of Darkness

In bloody dark you first were born,
From mortal innocence were torn.
With flash of teeth, an evil grin,
This legend of our time begins.

While man pursues his daytime dream,
You're Children of the Night, unseen.
Through each new moon their power's increasing,
Yet man's own thirst for blood's unceasing.

Turns the century, Victoria's gone,
Yet still the Empire lingers on.
In dawning age of marvels bright,
You sate your hungers in the night.

The Ottoman Empire fades with dawn,
Another new republic born.
Long live the Proles, the Tsar's no more,
Watch the millions die in two World Wars.

A greyer world where annihilations's
The fear that looms over every nation.
Your sensual murders still repell,
While civil war wreak merry hell.

Your needs no longer out of place,
With serial killers commonplace.
World wide bloodshed grows apace,
As man first walks in outer space.

There's ethnic cleansing, genocide,
A new bloodbath on every side.
As twentieth century fades away,
It seems your power had it's day.

And yet, still in nightmares dark,
The Lord of Undeath does stalk.
With gleaming fangs hypnotic eyes,
Your fatal charm still terrifies.

As new Millenium overtakes us,
Dracula is still Prince of Darkness.
A legend forged of blood, allure,
To rule the night for ever more.
