§ In attesa della pubblicazione della prima sofferenza del Libro dei Vampiri, meditate che le cose
che verranno narrate sconvolgeranno la normale percezione vampiro-vittima, fino a farvi sembrare
naturale l'atto assurdo del morso come mezzo di sofferenza soprannaturale.

Taken all I can taken all I can, we can take.
Taken all you can taken you can, we can take.
Got nothing left to give to you.
Blood suckin parasitic little blood suckin parasitic little
Blood suckin parasitic little tick
Take what you want and then go.
MAYNARD JAMES KEENAN, TICKS & LEECHES

Hey you, rotting in an alcoholic empty shell
Banging on the walls of your intoxicated mind
Do you ever wonder why you were left alone
As your heart grew colder
And finally turned to stone.
DANNY CAVANAGH, FORGOTTEN HOPES

A groan of tedium escapes me, startling the fearful.
Is this a test?
It has to be. Otherwise I can't go on.
Draining patience. Drain vitality.
This paranoid, paralyzed vampire act's a little old.
MAYNARD JAMES KEENAN, THE PATIENT
