A blighted landscape
Progress erases nature
What is our future?

Warming up my frozen bones
Disguising the cold

Branches blown by the stiff breeze
Racing through the limbs

The first use of the word “vampire” in English wasn’t until 1734, when it was mentioned in a book called Travels of Three English Gentlemen. Although the idea of the “undead” returning to attack the living is ancient and occurs in many cultures, the bloodsucking vampire we recognise today arose in south-eastern Europe in the 17th century. Versions of the word “vampire” exist in all the Slavic languages and some linguists have traced it back to ubyr, the Tatar word for “witch”. via QI: Quite interesting facts about vampires – Telegrap

Just enter my doors
Try to find the roaming ghosts
The ones who haunt me

Poem – God and Devil
God
My kingdom knows no boundaries
My gate forever wide
My soul is in the Earth
My soul is in the tide
I hold my arms open
I welcome you to my side
Devil
Cast out from heaven
Prided goeth before my fall
I live in hatred – lies
I’m a soul stealer
A wheeler dealer
I am evil – eternal
