Probably one of the best written songs about vampires in my opinion. Not that hard to figure out, his lover is dead, but one night she returns to him as a vampire and makes him into one as well. It's pretty obvious to tell that they're vampires because eternal life, blood, hiding from the day, and taking prey are all mentioned. Favorite line is probably "As phantoms we have fled the basilisk of day / To rise as phoenix taloned, nightly taking prey" Oh and the best written part is from "Twelfth moon arose..." to "...and thus, we shall cheat death"
