Nick reflects on his condition.
The following poem, Dark Night, was inspired by track 7) "The Lost Music of the Vampire" and track 8) "Ancient Heart" of the album (cassette) *The Immortal Kiss of the Vampire* and by the included narration quote that preceded the songs.
"Once you've shared my vision you will fear your own desire
And search for your release in the glare of each dark night
And you'll remember this confession
As an echo in each day's surrender
Calling you from your loneliness as you called me from my own."
--Laura Blaske
(See the end of the work for more notes.)
A rolling thunder haunts my soul
Strikes and pounds within my chest
And in the pauses comes the rain,
Pulsing in my mind and mouth,
Urging me to lift my face and drink.
You make me feel that there's pure love.
You make me feel there can be rest.
But in the dark and in my dreams
There is no light from up above;
Only distant thunder, empty rain,
A waiting storm within my breast.
I can't be this anymore.
