about

Before I had any idea what Twilight was or was about, I saw the phrase "Real Vampires Don't Sparkle" on a friend's t-shirt and thought it was hilarious, so I wrote a song around it in time for some Hallowe'en shows we were playing in Milwaukee and Chicago. Originally written as an NWOBM-style metal track, a friend in Ireland heard about it and asked if I could make a dance mix in time for the New Moon premiere 11/20/2009, and et voila, here it is! Enjoy!

lyrics

I am a traveler
I come from shores afar
I come to warn you all
of a horror you ignore

there is a mythic beast
whose story you've got wrong
so now attend to me
and listen to this song

As you carry on through the pantheon of old
Truths appear in the dark
Oh, the werewolves howl and the mummies they will moan
But while they have many powers, real vampires don't sparkle

Vampires are powerful
they're brutal, quick and strong
surviving on your blood
as immortals they live on

their bite is death!
their breath is fear!
their beauty cold and sharp

they are the nightkind
(and) they alone rule the dark

So it's an insult, it's a cut, a tragedy
You treat them like The Jets or Sharks
They are not pretty boys, they are not rated G
While they have many powers real vampires don't sparkle
