I drink a toast to kindred fools
That cast shadow at my door,
Those who've choose the different path,
Who wanted something more.
To they that scoff at bloody moons
Who walk their life alone?
Unafraid to face the night,
Where demons surely roam.
For into the darkness press they may,
To prey on blameless souls…
To vindicate the bloody thirst
With vengeance to be whole.
So, pray for those afflicted
Who keep the night alive
For immortalities silent wait..
May come for you tonight.
