I feel around by the light, of night
In its darkness, I see myself

Absorbed into the energy of the night
This evil darkness

The energy of the night
And the night life

It is my daytime playground
Alive at nightfall

I am alive in this shadow of day
Night is my awareness

Fond of familiarity with darkness
This, night, is life for the vampire

Nocturnal blood in my veins, night blood
Fascinated by the night I search

I search, and I am not found in light
But in the darkness of night

Received by its energy, changed with its pulse
The lifeblood of night pumps in my heart

Until dawn, and then, another will come
The eternal night
