Blood Mine

Forgotten, miles below the surface
Through catacombs of stone
In moss covered tunnels
Labyrinthine are the shadows in which we do roam
In bondage, kept the vessels
The living, breathing beasts
Hosts to a meal most exquisite
The very blood their veins do keep
Herding them in
Forcibly reproduced
Impatience to sink our fangs in deep
Rarely transcending youth
A farm of human beings
Inbred, the speechless stock
Sightless eyes, vestigial now
Never to know the glowing sun
Shepherd them in
Violently consumed
In captivity, so fearfully
To become this evening’s food
Blood mine
Feed on the weaklings
Blood mine
Harvest this nectar of life
Blood mine
Cyclic devourment
Over ages, perfected
Your earth is protected—
For now…
Our curse must be sated somehow
A secret best kept underground
Destroy, create
Manacled skin, grey
Vampiric, we feast
The bigger the mortal, the harder they bleed
In bondage, kept the vessels
The living, breathing beasts
Hosts to a meal most exquisite
The very blood their veins do keep
Herding them in
Forcibly reproduced
Impatience to sink our fangs in deep
Rarely transcending youth
Blood mine
Feed on the weaklings
Blood mine
Harvest this nectar of life
Blood mine
Cyclic devourment
Over ages, perfected
Your earth is protected—
For now…
