Ones who live in darkness
Ones who eat their own
Ones who sleep in dirty graves
Atop forgotten bones
They who gave their lives away
Immortal in the cold and black
Spending all their spare time
As deadly vampire bats

Vampires marching
Out in the night they're laughing
They're hunting under stars that shine inside us all
Got to confide in Nosferatu
He's sending out a hypnotizing song

They're marching they're marching
They're marching forward in the night
You told me you told me
You told me I would never die
I'm born here again here
Into the fire of your eyes
It's just one sin so let it ride

By all that matters
It's still my blood that splatters
A smattering of old time martyrdom involved
Come with me to shining purple glory
Hush now don't you worry
You're safe here in my arms

One in forty years
I find the meaning of the Earth in lives gone by
Blackened only by the damned setting Sun
Had the master set us up for this
I truly do believe in him, behold
Death and life are only bought and sold

You can cry me a rainbow
Don't you hide in sunny skies
My dear you'll find it's not the same
For you to die here
And then you'll fight and not know why

By all that matters
It's still my blood that splatters
A smattering of old time martyrdom involved
Come with me to shining purple glory
The ending of the story
Involves invasive eyes
And penetrating smile
If only for awhile
