Birds own the day Bats own the night Birds see in grey Bats think they're right At the break of dawn Both take flight Until darkness is gone And we live in light The beginning of dusk Spells the end of our luck Vampire bats steal our blood Empire gats steal our love
The birds and the bees Are no match For the bats in the trees They drain our youthful creed And cause our heart to freeze Until we hear the pleas Of others being drained We're glad they're in pain We want them to be stained By the nightly game
We've nightshifted into bats Encouraging a nature nocturnal It's like herding vampire cats When the winged war is internal
