Elegant Vampires Songtext
von Pattern‐Seeking Animals

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
