Ch. 4: Thirst Contact (The Vampires of Vulcan)

They know that we are here But they assume the worst of us A warning shot from the shadows How do we gain their trust? Concealed by the forest above They surround us as we flee Ancient weaponry igniting thunder How can we make them see? They are the Vampires of Vulcan Betrayed by the galaxy they once saved and now, we come to their aid! Yet we fight Acute senses guide their hand We can't outmaneuver them This wasn't the plan Closing in around us Shields powered and online Our hearts beat as one Fangs bared and swords held high Twilight beckons in their eyes Command the night Take me now in your arms Spread your wings and take flight Spare us from the damned Surrounded! Ancient ships Escort us To their Queen To their Queen Violet Majesty Come in peace Don't believe She will know There she waits Patiently Atop her throne Violet Come now, she says Look into my wife's eyes She will discover the truth of your lies Blood magic of old Compelling us to speak Of our history and deeds Afraid of what we seek They know why we are here They had assumed the worst of us Having survived in the shadows But we have gained their trust Their queen takes a bow My apologies, she cries No one else has come Betrayed by our own skies We are the Vampires of Vulcan Betrayed by the galaxy we once saved and now, you come to our aid!
