Anna...was praying to a God
She had betrayed, so they said Some folk had seen her flying on a broom All Hallows Eve, under the moon The Inquisitor had left her behind Gone for a bite, food on his mind The sun eas slowly trying to hide Behind a town so full of pride A sight Anna would never see again Torture in the name of Christ, confess, oh you witch Torture in the name of Christ, you witch you...confess Sitting naked on the wooden horse Weights to her legs, what a holy cross Her bloody hands tied to her back Her golden hair burned to black Thumbscrews they had used To crush each tip of her fingers to a pulp In the torture chamber, she couldn't feel much more Of anything...any more Torture in the name of Christ, confess, oh you witch Torture in the name of Christ, you witch you...confess Satan's mark...had slipped away They already searched her body twice today And it was all in vain Oh Anna here they come again Off the horse, strapado for a friend Up she goes, higher and higher Anna's crying, screaming: "Liars" Confess, confess witch Confess, before you die "Yes, yes, I am a witch, may Satan take you all" They dropped her from the ceiling To a foot above the floor Her arms and legs disjoint Screams of pain...then finally no...more 02. The Night
Old Nick is by my side, I hear no evil
As I walk into the night, I see no evil Old Nick is by my side, I feel no evil Oh...I'm gonna love this night...It's gonna be just fine The two of us at midnight, a feeling of Hell The two of us at midnight... Just him and I, we're gonna spy on God Old Nick...my imaginary friend Old Nick is not what they say, here we go again, Through the dark on a snake we ride, The Devil's child Oh...the moon is bright, she's oh so fine The two of us at midnight, a feeling of Hell The two of us at midnight... Just him and I, we're gonna spy on God Find out who he really is Find out who she really is, The Night Find out if he really is Find out if she really is, The Night Looking through a Demon's eye We're gonna spy on God Find out if he really is Find out if she really is Old Nick is by my side, I feel no evil Oh...I'm gonna love this night...It's gonna be just fine The two of us at midnight, a feeling of Hell The two of us at midnight... Just him and I, we're gonna spy on God The Night Find out who he really is Find out who she really is, The Night Find out if he really is Find out if she really is, The Night..... 03. Since Forever
On this cold and windy Sunday
I'm sitting here alone...It's Autumn I'm looking at a yellow picture You have been gone forever Oh it's so very hard, growing old on your own, alone I'm trying to remember...the days... When we were young Since forever, I still remember your ways Since forever, I still remember I have been reading your letter, over and over again I can't believe you're gonna be here today I can't believe...this is Sunday How nice of you to come, it's been so way too long Let me get you another glass of wine To keep our tongues in time Since forever, I still remember your ways Since forever, I still remember So many things have never been told And now the both of us are way too old Since forever, I still remember your ways Since forever, I still remember Like the light of the sun You used to brightened my day But darkness has taken your place And I can no longer keep it away Since forever, I still remember your ways Since forever, I still remember I ask you for one last time No there won't be any wine Just one more time So you can put flowers on my grave And then leave again...since forever 04. The Lady Who Cries
Many have seen the statue that cries
But only I have seen her at night Many say that it...is a miracle Many say that her...tears can heal you, but When the sun goes down, and my day begins That's when I saw her change Her tears did turn to blood, just like a miracle And through her mouth of stone, I saw the fire From so deep inside, I heard a voice from Hell "I am the lady who cries, I am he who lights the night" "I am Lucifer" Many say that it...is a miracle Many say that her...tears can heal you, but From so deep inside, I heard a voice from Hell "I am the lady who cries, I am he who lights the night" "I'm your eternal friend" "Let my children come to me at day Let my children come to me and pray" "They don't know who I am Or that they worship the Devil "They don't know who I am They think I'm a miracle..." 05. Banshee
I heard it... in my sleep last night
I heard it... in your sleep last night Now I can hear it again, outside the night is sad I know it's not the wind, outside the night is black Under our window is the banshee Wailing it's haunted tune Under out window is the banshee Wailing it's haunted tune too soon I know that, I must tell you a lie I know that, it could be you and not I Before the sun is rising, the banshee cannot stay Before the night is dying, a life will slip away Under our window is the banshee Wailing it's haunted tune Under out window is the banshee Wailing it's haunted tune too soon I must light a fire, to chase away the night Let us hold each other tight The cats are gone, I guess... they know Oh... they know what's gonna come The wailing is so much louder, I need to hold you tight I can feel you getting colder, is it time for you or I? Under our window is the banshee Wailing it's haunted tune Under out window is the banshee Wailing it's haunted tune too soon Let it be me 06. Mandrake
Poisonous Mandrake, you dangerous root
One of the three fares, when a man's time has come You look so human, so different from any other plant You look so human, that the Devil might take you for a man White Mandragora, with your root so thick you are the male Black as the night on the outside, inside you're like a moon You look so human, so different from any other plant You look so human, that the Devil might take you for a man Your leaves spread out...so close to the ground Mandrake root, your berries are just like the sun Mandrake root, as a female your root will forked Your juice has been known, to take away lives Cause insanity...am I losing my mind? In the olden days it was believed That in the dark of night, you had to Tie a string from the neck of a Black dog to the Mandrake root, then move away, move away And with meat you must lure the dog To pull the Mandrake root from the ground Cover your eyes...cause the cry of the Mandrake root No man has ever survived, the dog will surely die Poisonous Mandrake, you dangerous root One of the three fares, when a man's time has come You look so human, so different from any other plant You look so human, that the Devil might take you for a man Your leaves spread out...so close to the ground Mandrake root, your berries are just like the sun Mandrake root, as a female your root will be forked Your juice has been known, to take away lives Cause insanity...am I losing my mind? Mandrake root, bring me your poisonous love Mandrake root, I need you to bring me that love Mandrake root...Mandrake root bring me love Mandrake root, bring me that poisonous thing That everyone is calling LOVE 07. Sucking Your Blood
I can see it in your mystery eyes
I can feel it on your breath tonight The yearning for time, the yearning for eternal life Oh...oh...oh...sucking your blood, oh...oh...oh... Let me look you deep in the eyes Let me look...into your mind Let me take you to a room full of life Let me, let me, let me suck your wine Oh...oh...oh...sucking your blood Oh...oh...oh...sucking you, sucking your Blood A chandelier is our source of light I'm breathing in the golden air tonight Time...is right. It's your innocent skin I like Oh...oh...oh...sucking your blood, oh...oh...oh... Your neck is so delicately white, inviting my mouth for the bite My teeth...your vein, like wine from a chalice I drink Oh...oh...oh...sucking your blood Oh...oh...oh...I'm sucking you, sucking you Your warm juices colour my throat What unheavenly joy, turning yours into mine Me...part of you, oh you are the wine Sucking your blood before the night is torn How could this ever, ever be a sin If you would pull the stake from my heart If you would let me draw another card Maybe the Morning Star will blind your eyes Maybe the Morning Star will bless another night Maybe the Morning Star will blind your eyes Maybe the Morning Star will bless another night Me...part of you, oh you are the wine 08. Dead Again
Why do I keep on doing this? It's not for me any more
I'm doing this more for you than I And on that lonely road to nowhere I lost myself to something else I don't know where I'm going or where I've been It's so hard to remember all the things I am, am I? It feels like the end is near, catching up with me Catch me if you can, cause I'm going down into the ground How much longer can I keep going on? I can feel my lost ones coming down Sooner than later I'll see you all again I feel my purpose here slipping away I see the sun, but it's raining I hope I'm on my way to better things And if I'm not, it doesn't really matter Cause I am doing this more for you than I am me I can no longer pretend, that my life is worth living I...I would rather die, be dead again Hold on Now here it comes, death for one, for a lonely son Up then down. I'm spinning around My soul is so confused again Am I floating towards the sun? Hold on, am I dead on? Through a tunnel of black, why? Why do I feel so sad? I've been waiting for the end of act 9 to come The curtain must fall, the end of a song But the song goes on and on The light is so very strong I'm drifting along, I have no will I'm drifting still In a room without walls...I feel the chill No one is here to pick me up Nothingness...what a mess...oh Is anybody there? Is anybody there? I'm talking to you, do you hear me? If I could only see through the wall of nothingness The wall of black They gave me number 9, this is not like last time Number 9 This time I am really losing my mind I hear an orchestra...I see an orchestra I greet an orchestra...I meet an orchestra I'm in an orchestra...I am an orchestra I kill this orchestra...I kill me? No No don't stop, oh please don't stop Hey say here, what's going on?...hey wait for me I'm running but I can't keep up Then I realize my feet are gone This is such a weird weird song The orchestra is now a door One is one and two is four. I can see three more Seven doors, seven doors I must choose one before they're gone But I cannot move, oh they are drifting away now But I cannot move, oh they are drifting away now I've got to reach that door, the number 6 I've got to reach that door, the number 6 The number 6-6, the number 6-6-6 The number 6-6-6 The number 6-6-6, that's my door Wuauuu...look at all the colours There goes an orchestra, no more doors Close the window, here they come I hear another end of this song But again the song goes on Dead again. I know cause I've been here before I'm dead again, if I could only reach that door The number 6-6-6, the number 6-6-6 I'm beginning to miss you again Why can't I just get you out of my mind... I must forget Dead again. I know cause I've been here before I'm dead again, if I could only reach that door Through a purple mist the light is fading I guess I'll have to stay dead A little longer this time Dead again... 09. Fear
In the mirror...I have seen HIM
And he scares me The creature...behind the mask I wear I know his name is FEAR In the mirror...He's looking back at me I have to face him every day And I know him not so well, his name is FEAR So deep within, yet so far away I...wonder, will he always stay Stay so deep within, deep within my soul And I know him not so well, his name is FEAR The man...in the mirror, he scares me For I know him not so well The creature...behind the mask I wear I know his name is FEAR In the mirror...it's not my eyes I see But they are always there I cannot let it show. No one must ever know The horror that lies so deep within Tucked away beneath my skin And it scares me, yes it scares me So deep within, yet so far away I...wonder, will he always stay Stay so deep within, deep within my soul And I know him not so well, his name is FEAR No man...nor any book, will ever teach me What I need to know No man...nor any book, will ever teach me What I'm longing for Only the creature...living inside of me Could show me the meaning of life I cannot let it show. No one must ever know The horror that lies so deep within Tucked away beneath my skin And it scares me, yes it scares me 10. Crossroads
You are Selene, the moon in heaven
You are Persephone, Queen of the Underworld Hecate...darkness and terror of the night Hecate...oh, the crossroads are thine You are Diana, you are the hunter of souls The dogs are howling, we dogs know when you approach Let us ride with a beast tonight Let us ride the crossroads Let us ride with a beast tonight, oh let us ride At the crossroads, they buried criminals and suicides At the crossroads, any traveller could lose a life A suitable place, for making a pact with the Devil A suitable place, for us to hold the Sabbath Let us ride with a beast tonight Let us ride the crossroads Let us ride with a beast tonight Let us ride in the dead of night... Even you mortals can ride with her at night And join the night-flying demons, oh you and I Listen to their tales of wandering ghosts Listen to their tales of forgotten times Listen to their tales of the crossroads Listen to their tales of forgotten lives Oh Diana Hecate...darkness and terror of the night Hecate...oh, the crossroads are thine You are Diana, you are the hunter of souls The dogs are howling, we dogs know when you approach Let us ride with a beast tonight Let us ride the crossroads Let us ride with a beast tonight Let us ride in the dead of night To the crossroads...to the crossroads... We ride to the crossroads, in search of your soul We ride to the crossroads, in search of your soul... |
