Their faces reflect sensual rapture,
The moon calls out as they take the night flight
The innocent souls they seek to capture,
To savour in the vampire’s endless plight.
Three charming sisters to feed on fresh blood,
As they lead the young in a lustful dance.
Torment’s altar in the moon’s silver flood
With promises of wine, song and romance.
Their senses drooling at the taste of skin
As the souls of naivety entwine.,
Joining in union, Lillyth’s flesh kin,
As sisters now feast, on new blood they dine.
Heart beats of purity in darkness cease
The veils lifted from clouded eyes’ in peace.
