lyrics

I've been trying my luck,
To get through to you but
It feels like we're stuck
In notions that are old
Devotion that has lost its soul
To really matter much

So futile and insane
The worship of another name
That means nothing as such
Your fire has been tamed
Desire boxed into a cage
You've lost your magic touch

So, let's bring you back to life instead
Of losing time amongst the dead
The vampires of the night my friend
Eat you dead or alive
It's sad
But you can get away from it

I've tried so many different ways to inspire
You to misbehave
To go against the grain and end this never-ending lie
Of life that's lived in vain

So, let's bring you back to life instead
Of losing time amongst the dead
The vampires of the night my friend
Eat you dead or alive
It's sad
But you can get away from it

As transformation takes its toll
The rippling of a single stone
Thrown into water
I find the strength to let this go
To re-invent
To find the soul
The very heart
Of every matter

So, let's bring you back to life instead
Of losing time amongst the dead
The vampires of the night my friend
Eat you dead or alive
It's sad
But you can get away from it

The Vampires of the night
They eat you dead or alive.
