- ...white on white translucent black capes...
- back on the rack
- bela lugosi's dead
- ...the bats have left the bell tower...
- the victims have been bled
- red velvet lines the black box
- bela lugosi's dead
- ...the virginal brides file past his tomb...
- strewing time's dead flowers
- bereft of deadly bloom
- alone, in a darkened room
- the Count
- bela lugosi's dead
