Love in the Night

Inspired by and based on the musical “Dance of the Vampires/Tanz der Vampire”

He has an endless life and appetite
And terrorizes a nearby tiny town
Though he may have great might
He can’t shake her eyes of brown
Her hair of red and skin so fair
He visits her one night to express
What life he will with her share
Her dreams he says he’ll address
For she dreams of a life exciting
He can offer one if she so desires
He flees without landing a biting
Back to his castle full of vampires

She is enticed by the Count’s  call
But the next day she’s abducted
Taken away to him to await a ball
To stay ‘til then, she was instructed
Though she didn’t mind in the least
She’s suddenly drawn to the master
Like the tale of “Beauty and the Beast”

Such thoughts made her pulse faster
Torn between light and eternal passion,
Her heart felt like it was in a total eclipse
She chose later at that ball of old-fashion
And he was allowed a bite without miss
