The 'Vampire Trilogy'

[erik]

Here's a thing — in amongst the plethora of Arena songs that exist, I wrote, what I privately call, the 'Vampire Trilogy'. Basically, three songs that, in my mind at least, feature a vampiric theme in some form.

We are currently performing one of them on tour — 'Don't Forget to Breathe'. There are various references to vampire culture in that song, including the "children of the storm" line, which of course runs rather close to the Dracula original:

"Listen to them, the children of the night. What music they make!"

~ Bram Stoker, Dracula

The second song in the Vampire Trilogy is Butterfly Man. Although in this piece I use the image of a 'soul collector', he is — let's be honest — effectively sucking the life out of his victims and then owning them. Seems suitably vampiric to me.

Now here's my question:

What is the third part of the Vampire Trilogy?

I'll need a song title... and some kind of reason. It's entirely possible, of course, that I've unknowingly written a Vampire Quartet. 'Stranger things' have happened.

For those of you who read about the 'Vampire Trilogy'... many of you quite rightly pointed out a fair few vampire references, although in my mind that would not make it a vampire song as such. Some of you were right that the third song was 'Shattered Room' (from Pepper's Ghost).
