Village of the Vampires (poem)

A church and graveyard under a cloudy black sky with a full moon. Spooky Night - Flickr - Alfred Grupstra.jpg Wikicommons

In the night-time, be wary 
Vampires, shadowed and scary
Prowl the village by scent

From yonder castle, they fly
On blackest wing, darkest sky
Hark, the vampires descent

The damned doomed dead are dancing
On grave mounds, they are prancing
Lit by the moon’s crescent 

The villagers, weeping
At the twilight creeping
Of the vampire lords ascent

The neck blood, still seeping
From the virgins, sleeping
Oh, the vampire lords torment

A bride for his keeping
Her life and youth, fleeting
Her soul, forever condemned.

In church hall, villagers gather
To face the darkness together 
And pray for a hero, heavensent

Prayers intercepted, they fell
Took the short road straight down to hell
Doomed, damned, dead, the villagers lament
