Mending The Pain
With Halloween being synonymous with PETER STEELE® & Type O Negative, We thought this would be a fitting time To say Thank You to the legion of Peter's fans who Read this blog Grieved with us all these months Shared your own personal pains Honored Peter with portraits & poetry And reminded us how much his thoughts and fantasies Impacted your lives.
Our family couldn't have healed without
your support
kind words
daily messages
charming notations
countless well-wishes & prayers.
The best decision we made this year was to start this blog.
Now, we must end it.
Remember,
Peter's legacy lives on through all of you.
Everytime you introduce his music to a new person,
you are inspiring someone to mend their pain
by listening to some else who wore their emotions
on his sleeve and through his music.
While we'll no longer be posting our personal Peter stories,
however Darcie will still be posting your
comments, artwork & memories on a weekly basis
&
we have no intention of taking the site down.
It's here for you to continue to enjoy.
This post is dedicated to the countless friends we made from all over the world
YOU ALL ARE AMAZING, TALENTED & BEAUTIFUL
Let's leave this last post with a song fitting for this day:
Black No. 1
I went looking for trouble
And boy
I found her...
She's in love with herself.
She likes the dark
On her milk white neck.
The Devil's mark.
It's all Hallows Eve.
The moon is full.
Will she trick or treat?
I bet she will.
She's got a date at midnight
With Nosferatu.
Oh baby, Lilly Munster.
Ain't got nothing on you.
Well when I called her evil
She just laughed.
And cast that spell on me.
Boo Bitch Craft.
Yeah you wanna go out
'cause it's raining and blowing.
You can't go out
'cause your roots are showing.
Dye 'em black.
Dye 'em black.
Black black black black No. 1
Black black black black No. 1.
Little wolf skin boots
And clove cigarettes.
An erotic funeral
For witch she's dressed.
Her perfume smells like
Burning leaves.
Everyday is Halloween.
Yeah you wanna go out
'cause it's raining and blowing.
You can't go out
'cause your roots are showing.
Dye 'em black.
Dye 'em black.
Black black black black No. 1
She dyes'em black
Black black black black No. 1
Black No. 1.

Was like loving the dead,
Was like loving the dead
Was like loving the dead.

Was like loving the dead.

Was like loving the dead.
