Vampires

In the gray sky under the mute star
Beating wings through the silent night
They come in flocks with velvet feet
To suck the fresh blood of the herd

If someone is deceived by their serious air
And opens the doors upon their arrival
They eat everything they eat everything
They eat everything and leave nothing [repeat]

Vampires arrive everywhere
They land on buildings they land on sidewalks
Carrying ancient spoils in their bellies
But nothing ties them to finished lives

They are the stewards of the whole universe
Forced lords lawless rulers
They fill the granaries drink new wine
Dance in a circle in the king's pine grove

They eat everything they eat everything
They eat everything and leave nothing

On the ground of fear the defeated fall
Screams are heard in the stifling night
Victims of a creed lie in the ditches
And the blood of the herd is not exhausted

If someone is deceived by their serious air
And opens the doors upon their arrival
They eat everything they eat everything
They eat everything and leave nothing

They eat everything they eat everything
They eat everything and leave nothing
