Initiation Rite - Vampire

A shadow dances in the stone hall

The spirit without a name

The prey that flits across the cave wall

is hunted down by ancient flames

Blood drops cast by the elder

contrast to the winter pale skin

the stains trail upward on the body

drawing the claw of the Djinn

Rites of the Fathers

Scriptures on skin

Delve into sin!

Black stale waters

Pike jaw grin

Let the animal in!

A howl from underneath the wolf hide

declares innocence dead

the drive that lurks where the beast hides

settles in the fair haired head
