Elegant Vampires

You can black up every window You can padlock all the doors You might think that I'm mistaken But the joys, are nothing yours Charming snakes with soothing voices Will disarm you to the core They will sense your every weakness It's the chance they're waiting for (Chance they're waiting for) These strangers come and go Dressed all in deadman's clothes They'll steal your broken heart (They stole it) This night the moon won't glow Like blood, the darkness flows The end is near But you don't know it No reflection in the mirror Nor a footprint in the dust Every soul, a walking shadow That your heart should never trust There's a wetting and they're monsters From the evil tomes appear Seeking out memento mori As they wander through the hills (Wander through the hills) These strangers come and go Dressed all in deadman's clothes They'll steal your broken heart (They stole it) This night the moon won't glow Like blood, the darkness flows The end is near But you don't know it Ten grains of sand slip through the hourglass Cold hands caress, your mortal soul Still, you feel warm, like you are loved at last But your loves been cast A nightmare born of faith beyond control So you say you don't believe me But the truth is that I know There's a land beyond forgiveness Where the chosen victims go Hollow souls and windy hollows While they're headlong through the haze So I lead the rest will follow All are lost within the haze (Lost within the haze) These strangers come and go Dressed all in deadman's clothes They'll steal your broken heart (They stole it) This night the moon won't glow Like blood, the darkness flows The end is near But you don't know it
