Lyrics:
Here at home in this steeple
Made of chrome, above a city of steel,
I've chosen bats over people
'Cause I never did like the way humans made me feel.
So we sleep all day and we rise at night
And we spread our wings and take into the skies.
And when the people all stop and stare
And say, "Why you gotta be like that?"
I just look them in the eye and tell them
I was raised by bats!
When I was young, I was feeble
And it stung when they pushed me down.
I was so hated by these people,
That I knew I had to do what I could to get out of that town.
So I ran away to this sacred place
And was taken in by creatures of the night.
Now when the people all stop and stare
And say, "Why you gotta dress like that?"
I just look them in the eye and tell them
I was raised by bats!
When the people all stop and stare
And say, "Why you gotta be like that?"
I just look them in the eye and tell them
I was raised by bats.
Those dark days seem far away
I've risen to a better place
So do like me, follow the dream like that.
Just throw your old life away
And get raised by bats!
So we sleep all day and we rise at night
And we spread our wings and take into the skies.
We do it all our way, live our lives like that
'Cause there's no one here to fill our heads with lies.
And when the people all stop and stare
And say, "Why you gotta be like that?"
When the people all stop and stare
And say, "Why you gotta dress like that?"
When the people all stop and stare
And say, "Why you gotta be like that?"
I just punch them in the eye and I bite them on the thigh
And I kick them in the ass where the sun don't shine.
I look them in the eye and tell them
I was raised by bats!
I just look them in the eye and tell them
I was raised by bats!
I was raised by bats!
I was raised by bats! - Hudba
People always ask me why I dress like I'm going to a funeral in 1886.......now they have an answer.
I just think it looks stlyish.
Oh, you too?
Nice
You got style you got drip I would love to dress like that
You also have to make sure you look like the other ghosts just in case
I wouldn’t say I’m a goth, but I absolutely respect the vibe
When bad things are happening, is your reaction sorrow, or anger?
same
@@Random_Chiroptera sorrow
Brilliant song. This should be a goth anthem .
It is
As someone who was raised by bats I really identify with this song. It's really nice to see that Voltaire has consistently been amazing since the Devil's Bris. I will forever be thankful to the friend who first played God Thinks for me.
I used to live next to a church and every evening sixty or so bats would fly out of the chimney. I still have pictures of it
That's magical
I've always loved the guitar in this song and I finally realized why: Ray FRICKIN' Toro is the guitarist!
My God, it does have Toro vibes
My mom’s a diehard MCR fan, so she was pretty excited when I showed her this song. 😅
This song makes me unreasonably happy ...no matter what kind of day I'm having
OctoberGrimm It's the feeling of freedom. 😁
Me too!! I love this song!!!!!
Hellz Yeah❣🦇❣ Me too!
How Hilarious and True is this! I see this comment months later and I still give the same response b4 seeing my old comment. Helllllllz Yeah!!! Loves me some Voltaire to be sure!
This is about to get very popular
Vampair?
@@KateCantDraw yep
@@bradleyogilvie8869 (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
Fantastic! ^___^
Omg! I love your vids too! :o
My Queenie!!
Hey I'm mildly gelus u talked to Aurelio Voltaire.... but I do love ur videos
Omg you are my favorite
Our Queen Black Friday 🖤
RAY TORO PLAYED THE GUITAR FOR THIS SONG?! I loved this song already, but knowing he provided some of the instrumentals has made me love it more!
I first heard this song shortly after my cousin told me that I wore my costumes and cosplayed for attention and that it was just a phase that I would eventually get over. This made me feel a LOT better.
7 years later, are you still dressing the same?
Who's from Daria Cohen? :D
me!
With this song I accidentally started a cult worshiping Voltaire at my lunch table... Opps. Ah well at least he's cool.
👌
As long as they don't call themselves freaks and act just like the normals. If they're true freaks they'll accept you for who you are, instead of telling you what to wear cause yr not meeting their so called freaky standards. I was a Goth kid, I'm a forty yr old Mom now, just know yr real friends sweety!
Both Voltaires are cool actually.
Honestly? You could do worse. A lot worse.
Ah those were the days 🦇 happy oct 1st!
I love it! I remember when i found Voltaire when I was starting middle school and I instantly fell in love with his music. I'm almost twenty now and heading to basic and I still love it! Keep doing what you do, Voltaire!
Batman, is that you?
HA!
😂
more like robins
Is it a good or bad thing that I can see Robin singing this song?
Oh my f*cking God. I can't… why did you have to say that? Here, take your thumbs up and leave.
By the description: jason or damian
Ps: freaking awesome
batmetal spinoff?
Depends which one
CattailGamer Could definitely see Dick Grayson singing it XD
My favorite song from the series.
Who else here because of the Daria Cohen's Vampair series?
yes
Me. You are the first to comment about it
Yep! czcams.com/video/cWNfvWQ7zk0/video.html
I was here before and now I'm back!
me lol
This song is really starting to grow on me.
I love how emotional the instruments and lyrics are to me.
Vampair brought me here
2022 thanks to Daria Cohen to show me
OMG HIS MUSIC IS SO FUN!!!
TIME TO ROPE IN EVERY ONE I KNOW INTO LISTENING TO THIS GUYS MUSIC!
My king, your voice is so enchanting! You give me forces every day that I have to face this world full of ignorant humans. You're my wonderful end resonate darkness. Thank you for exist!
Obscure and poisonous kisses from Brazil!
Thank you, you’re saving my life and sanity right now 💜🦇
You're my favorite artist ever!! I never buy music (shh) but I buy your songs because you're just so awesome I want to support you.
This has become one of my new favourite songs; it's catchy, it's uplifting, and it's pretty energetic. :)
This song never fails to make me smile 🦇
it just hits too close to home. a fan for 20+ years and he just amazes every time.
And when the people all stop and stare
And say, "Why you gotta be like that?"
I just look them in the eye and tell them
I am the night...
this song is literally exactly how i feel every day
+ you're cool if the name the vampair means anything to you with this song
This song is a work of art and a thing of (dark) beauty...thank-you, Mr. Voltaire...
Who else wants to see an animation of Batman singing this
not batman, the robins not singing just fighting to it
❣🦇Me!🦇❣

Cheers 🥂 Love these lyrics 💖🦇🌹 so kind of you to put them here 😘
Came here from Daria Cohen's channel but I bet no one is surprised.
The next time a customer gets on me for not being smiley and preppy at work. I'm just gonna say this.
jackandalufan Customers give you crap for not smiling? Wow, I thought my job was bad. Tell them you'd be happier if you didn't have such judgemental customers 😒
Thank you for this song! Now I know I'm not just weird, my parents were bats :)
The guitar addition to the usual stuff is magnificent.
Bought this album the day it came out. Love it from start to finish. And I love what you did with The Conquerer Worm.
I'm here before everyone else comes
This sounds like a whole reason to say that you're a goth, lol. AND I'M HERE FOR IT! 🖤
I liked this song
I love driving down the road singing this at the top of my lungs :-) many a strange look from other travelers
Batman's favorite song
Need an instrumental version sooooo much (and one of "Oh my goth" too !) ! It's just funky awesome !
I discovered a whole other mood of mine. Let me describe it... the name of the mood is the "fuck this shit, and fuck that shit, and fuck every shit, I only want Voltaire in my life."
this is basically the mood I live on xD
+Botta Márkus
Welcome to the stylishly dark side.
man this sure was a long time ago, and i still love it so much i come here every halloween
How have I not heard this song of his until now
I never realized Ray Toro helped make this :0
Our anthem!
The moment you realize it is very much not a phase and you don't dress like that to hide yourself, but rather to show yourself to the world...
Thank you for that wonderful song ! You are great and I wish I had heard of your work sooner ^^
thank you Voltaire, for not doing what you had originally planned to do before you ran away. The world, and my musical influences, is a better place today for it. :)
Voltaire is a good role model if you're a music artist. Thanks, Volty. :3
One more classic from the Man in black who keeps coming back.!.
Brilliance is such an underrated word.
this sounds like a Disney song
allways feeling like dancing with this song
La canción tiene un toque muy especial, muy único. As always great job, greeting from Chile!
I am so happy he came to knoxville,TN.
holy moly i only js realized that ray toro plays guitar on this
Voltaire; I just HAVE TO TELL YOU; I absolutely adore this piece of music. The tune and the certain instruments used mash in perfectly. How I WISH you could tour in Australia; Brisbane to be most specific. My other favourite songs of yours are "Brains, The Night, Vampire Club, Graveyard Picnic, Land of the Dead, Day of the dead, when you're evil, Cannibal buffet; innocent; stakes and torches, when you're dead and Death death devil devil evil evil song." Stay spooky and continue to play more hauntingly catchy tunes.
Laura~
he's the best evil (not really) guy.
Totally listening to this after reading the fanfic Harry Potter and The Gothening, and it HITS.
_How to enjoy your favorite song without having to constantly click to play:_
>Right-click twice on the video.
>Click *Loop*.
>Enjoy.
+HetaliaCalifornia My life is 50% better now, thanks to you
+HetaliaCalifornia WHAT?! There are people out there who made a webpage specifically for that purpose and now we can just do that on CZcams? Thanks, our Savior, for bringing this sense of joy and shameful stupidity upon your humble children.
I´m telling this to everyone I know; the truth must be spoken!
+HetaliaCalifornia and now i have both the youtube and html video overlays rendering this unplayable.
thanks obama!
+HetaliaCalifornia Well then, time to listen to Fear and Anguish. Or maybe This Ship's Going Down. No, no, Almost Human! I can't decide! DX
+HetaliaCalifornia You just changed my life
It's been a full year and I'm still loving this song.
I really love this song, I seriously haven't stop listening to it since it came out.
This is the perfect for any robin trained by Batman
I love Voltaire's music. I still remember Brains! From Billy and Mandy.
I was a little goth kid once... Now I'm a 30yr old witch who does whatever she wants, and so does my lil 10yr old munchkin!! Guess it wasn't a phase, huh mom???? Be who you are.
I feel like nightwing red hood red robin and robin play this on bruce’s birthday just to annoy him.
I spent almost 1 year to looking for this song after AQW event "Friday the 13th". And I finally FOUND IT. YESSSSS!!
Robin’s backstory
This album got me through high school and college tbh. Spookiest album anywhere until the Black Labyrinth came out lol
Has anyone else realized that "do like me, follow the dream" rhymes with and is to the same tune as "do re mi fa so la ti"?
I love Voltaire, I can *so* relate to him. More than I thought! I hope that one day I could go to his live performances and be around the first rows or at least the middle rows jamming and singing along to the songs. Always wanted to do that for the past 10 years.
I saw him live tonight.... Just yes
After seeing the DIY videos, I now see the ironic cuteness my friend Susan already noticed just with the songs. In the songs.
I rather be raised by Bats... But instead I got like Headless Horsemen.
I was sitting here enjoying the new music, when I fell out of my chair laughing! I just so happened to be eating a specific brand of popcorn while enjoying your music! :P
Hell yeah this song is awsome!
This is seriously my favorite song....EVER! I listen to this at least once a day!
You’ve honestly become my all time favorite artist this past year
I just had a great idea a band doing a cover of this song and they all dress as each vertion of robin from over the years
Great idea.
With a Joker doing a flip, just for vibes
I was so excited to see this song up as soon as I got home. Time to go buy the CD off amazon, thanks for posting your music up for all of us to enjoy!
I still feel really bad about uploading this before.
Don't worry about it. ; )
The important thing is that when I asked if you'd please take it down so that it wouldn't compete for views with the version I was putting up here on my official page, you were and polite and you took it down. It's all about communication, my friend! ; )
The Lair of Voltaire You're really nice person, Voltaire. Привет из России.
Kaleb Porter
He also cosplays as Dr. Strange! I don't have the link, but there is a petition to get him to play Dr. Strange in the film adaption (trust me, he looks the part)
The Lair of Voltaire What an awesome man. :) I'm gonna be just like Uncle Volty one day. ^^
I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. I'm sending this to my mom.
Here from 66Samus livestream, love this song now
My life was such a happy life when this came out.
One more time, now I'm serious, Voltaire, you made an really epic song.
Vampire the masquerade bloodlines 2 is being developed by paradox interactive. Would be nice if they contacted Voltaire to get this song in it.
voltaire i have alot of anxieties and stress but whenever i listen to your songs they all go away
After a crappy day, this is what puts a happy grin on my face again! :D
thank you for uploading!
Now we needs a cosplay with Robins, Cass and Duke singing this... THIS is the Robin theme song!!
Another fantastic song! Thank you!
Voltaire, I love the song, just like all of your other songs, and I love all of your other work. I have a question though. Have you heard that there's a petition to have you play as Doctor Strange in the upcoming Marvel movie? If so, what are your thoughts on it? If you played him I would die ._.
Lately when ppl ask who I am listening to I say Voltaire, the real Doctor Strange. I swear they are twins O_o P.s. Everything Voltaire does is amazing.
oh lord O_o if they actually did get Voltaire to play Doctor strange I don't think the universe would be able to contain that much awesome!
Sometimes it worth the complete and total collapse of reality....
Petition now...Must sign up to it no matter what
Yes, we must sign it now, regardless if it exists or not!
Ah! I freaking love Bats! I'm envious of the parallel universe version of me gets to legally own a bat as a pet...
Seeing Aurelio, I have a little bit of hope that I can get out of this place.
I want to find my sacred place and be raised by bats!
I feel a bit of Dexy's Midnight Runner's "Come on Eileen" in this song.
Darn someone beat me to the punch. :P
It was SO awesome seeing this live...and having Voltaire sign my chest lol!
This song is greatly improving my moving day
Seriously guys, I was sick and tired of people so I took the advise, and my life hasn't been the same since! After I got raised by bats, I feel more energetic and free. I strongly recommend others to do the same! Get raised by bats!!
Kat Weltz GET RAISED BY BATS TODAY!! ONLY FOR THE LOW LOW PRICE OF EVERYTHING BUT YOUR LIFE!
2019 anyone? Or am I the only one late to the party?
