Night of the Vampire Lyrics

Tonight
is the night of the vampire
Tonight
is the night of the vampire

If its raining and you're running don't slip in mud
'Cause if you do, you'll slip in blood
Tonight
is the night of the vampire

Tonight
is the night of the vampire

The moon may be full
The moon may be white
All I know is you will feel his bite
Tonight
is the night of the vampire

He comes from Transylvania
On St. Swithun's day he was born
Eyes stare through the darkness with no form
Maidens his bite harms

Tonight
is the night of the vampire
Tonight
is the night of the vampire

He never sleeps in the night
Comes out when the moon is bright
Tonight
is the night of the vampire

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
