Lyrics to Kings and Queens by Thirty Seconds to Mars
"We were the kings and queens of promise
We were the victims of ourselves
Maybe the children of a lesser God
..."
HO! wait! A lesser god? You mean the Omega? NO! This gives the song a totally different meaning.
I quote JR Ward, author of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series:
"Lesser = De-souled human who targets vampires for extermination as a member of the Lessening Society. Lessers must be stabbed through the chest in order to be killed, otherwise they are ageless. They do not eat or drink and are impotent. Over time, their hair, skin and irises lose pigmentation until they are blonde, blushless and pale-eyed. They smell like baby powder. Inducted into the Society by the Omega, they retain a ceramic jar thereafter into which their heart was placed after it was removed."
"The Omega = Malevolent, mystical figure who has targeted the vampires for extinction out of resentment directed towards the Scribe Virgin. Exists in a non-temporal realm and has extensive powers, though not the power of creation." - (
