Hurry now unto the call of fate
Down thorn-covered paths
Through the black iron gate.
Rush now along a twisted trail
Descending, spiraling, winding
Opening the way to thine hell.
But first through unseen secret doors,
Demon caverns,
Beautiful swampy moors.
Not far now, just beyond the lake
A castle of jade and amethyst
With monstrous black pearl gates.
Rising out of the mists
Platinum domes are seen
bathing eternal
In the Moon's silvery beams.
Pass quickly now through the sapphire doors
Between white marble walls
Upon hematite floors.
Ruby chandeliers suspended upon air
Light from taper candles' flame
Cast a crimson glare.
Look once more around
Thy fate dangles within a temptress' grip.
Delighting in thy fear,
Peels of laughter depart lush, scarlet lips.
Thine purpose slowly revealed
A vampress' hunger shall be filled.
