When the winds blows through the trees
When daylight is too far gone
And nightime falls on these desolate lands.
When a thin fog drifts over houses and farms
When darkness rules the village streets
And dogs are howling with fear.
When all the doors and windows are locked
When in the distance strange lights
Illuminate ghostly figures
And devilish shadows are flying high
Piercing with anguish the hearts of men
In this terrible night.
A sinister echo resounds in the air:

Walpurgisnacht!
Walpurgisnacht!
Walpurgisnacht!

S. Valpurga - Save us from evil!
S. Valpurga - Pray for our soul!

Father of the world, where have you gone?
The sons you have made are loosin' their minds.

The seed of all evil is now sown in their hearts
War killing machine is never gonna stop.

No! No! No! No! No!
This is not the way to go
The world needs your love!
Where have you gone?

Your child of madness is longing for his life
'Cause war, sickness and death have knocked him to the ground

This world is going to pieces,
We can't make it all alone
We have been forsaken
At the beginning of the end.

No! No! No! No! No!
This is not the way to go
The world needs your love!
Where have you gone?

Slaughter! Illness! Death!
War! AIDS! Drugs!
Fanatics! Priests! Bombs!
You don't care!

No! No! No! No! No!
This is not the way to go
The world needs your love!
Where have you gone?

We were born on the night of Apocalypse
We arrived here riding the light
We dare the forces of creation
We rule the world and the elements.

We bring war, death and destruction
We change the course of time.
We fight to free the human madness
And let the metal rise.

Don't betray the faith or you'll have to pay
We're the only ones that make you feel good.
We break the laws that chain your mind
We're the Evil Gods of immorality.

We're the Heavy Demons, Heavy Metal Demons
You can't stop our Rock!
Join the Heavy Demons, music fighting Demons
'Cause we want your Soul!

We're here to play that cursed music
That parents and teachers love to hate
We'll melt your brain with metal power
That burns forever young.

When we're on stage we like to see
Your young blood burst in flames.
You know we take no prisoners
We play and you must die!

We're the Heavy Demons, Heavy Metal Demons
You can't stop our Rock!
Join the Heavy Demons, music fighting Demons
'Cause we want your Soul!

On the point of death the patriarch said:
"Don't bury me in a common grave,
But in an unusual, comfortable family vault".

You must build my tomb according to my wishes
To prevent that my mortal remains
Should return from Hell, to spread the disease I had when I lived.

Money and success, you were my only reason of life.
Candles, tombstones, will be my company in this family vault.

Listen to me said the patriarch
I can see next to me the reaper
My time is almost through, you must promise me to respect my will.

The heritage I leave to all you still living
Goes beyond all my material wealth
You'll discover it and then understand in my burial place.

Money and success, you were my only reason of life.
Candles, tombstones, will be my company in this family vault.

You must build my tomb with your guilty deeds
Every brick can bind one of your sins
And cement the blood of my cursed youth that won't come back.

The deeds of all men survive eternal rest
And I hope that my building will help
People that will come in this evil life, to understand.
Money and success, you were my only reason of life.
Candles, tombstones, will be my company in this family vault.

Lilith queen of the darkest night
You give life to monsters in my mind
You sustain necromancers work
And appear like an evil cloud.

Oh black, infernal moon that crosses the sky
Like a dark, shooting star that obscures the light.
Oh black eclipse show me the shadows of distant ghosts
Celestial demons that roam blindly in the night.

We scar our bodies with signs of crossed moons
And then pronounce the magic words of a spell.
You shine for us your black light in the sky
And lead the way for the astral vampires.

Lilith, Satan's wife
Angel of the night
Give to us tonight
Your fairy mother's might.

You blend the heating vapours of bleeding earth
With the cold lymph of our vital sky.
You enfold us with your vampire wings
And take us to the realm of Holy Death.

Lilith, Satan's wife
Angel of the night
Give to us tonight
Your fairy mother's might.

Have you ever seen the Holy Light?
I want to reach all wisdom's highest degrees to write my book.
I had to fight against hostile ghosts
and as I reached the red doors of the spell Evil appeared.

God! The rite must be accomplished!
Help me in my search of truth
Give pleasure to my brain.

Man! You read my book of rules
And when there's no way to go
All power you shall gain

Complete intoxication every man can find
The ravaging sensation gives him peace of mind.

I'll keep total control of body and soul
And give my blood and happiness for the love of the absolute.
Give me the strength to be completely pure
My body is ready and my mind is free from every sin.

God! The rite must be accomplished!
Help me in my search of truth
Give pleasure to my brain.

Man! You read my book of rules
And when there's no way to go
All power you shall gain

Complete intoxication every man can find
The ravaging sensation gives him peace of mind.

You're searching for high knowledge but truth is only one
And many can be all its form of expression.
You now must understand the double aspect of things
The holy, the profane, the occult and the clear.

Searching the way to power you reach the light
You can learn the secret laws of your life.
Spirit is the only pure and sure reality
Matter is only its inferior alteration.

Truth is possessed by the wise men of Earth
You only need to seek and bring it to the light.
Your existence is the result of a choice
A chain of death continued day after day.

Searching the way to power you reach the light
You can learn the secret laws of your life.
Spirit is the only pure and sure reality
Matter is only its inferior alteration.

With death the spirit leaves behind its faults
And takes you closer to the verity
Someone will ask you to show him the proof
But the proof is matter and you know matter is man.

Veni, domine liberator
Dona nobis potestatem.
Te adoramus, veneramus
Dona nobis scientiam.

You're the Horned God of Witches
You're the adored Templar's Idol
You're the Father Mithra of all of us!

You've got different faces and powers
We'll awake you with sex and prayers
To help us make gold, oh Lord Moon's Dyer!

Calling you I ride the lightning
Praying you to set me free
When I invoke you I reach the power
In your light my mind is free.

Only you can give the solution
Helping us to accomplish the Great Work
You will open the Arcane Doors of the Sacred Reign.

And through the baptism of fire
Mete will make all things blossom
I abjure my faith for yours, for all your pleasures!

Calling you I ride the lightning
Praying you to set me free
When I invoke you I reach the power
In your light my mind is free.

You bring the sign of the Holy Star
Your bosom feeds the Eternal Light
You show the moons of Chased and Geburah
Solve et Coagula, oh Baphomet!

Calling you I ride the lightning
Praying you to set me free
When I invoke you I reach the power
In your light my mind is free.

For your crimes against the Holy Church
This court sentences you to Death Penalty!
You'll burn on the stake to purify your faults
By the will of the Supreme Judge:
The Grand Inquisitor, The Devil's conqueror!

This Supreme Court of Christ
Has recognised your heretic state.
You have denied your God
To worship his enemy.

In the name of our Lord
The trail has just begun
We have heard the witnesses and proved your sins.

Now you must confess
All your blasphemies
So send this man to torture, the dungeon awaits him.

Red-hot iron and the whip can help you
To remember who is the only Lord.

Scream! Scream! Shout all your curses!
Burn! Burn! Reach the flames of Hell!

Then you'll doomed to die
On the burning stake.
It's the only way to save your guilty soul.

The result of your studies
Now must be destroyed
All your wealth confiscated 'cause this is the Law!

So your ashes will be thrown to the wind
And we all will forget your cursed name!

I don't care if you're innocent
My only pleasure is to see you bleed.

Pains and suffering have fortified my reign
The church of fear, the reign of blessed death!

"I die innocent, but I summon within a year,
To the Court of God, the Pope,
The hired assassin and the King.
The last King's descendant will die in torture, killed by a Templar!..."
I am coming back from Hell
The flames of the stake have not destroyed my hate.
My curse is not over yet
I confessed under torture all you sins.
I'm dead guiltless!
I ask for revenge!
My order was mighty and strong
A model of faith in all the Western world.
The Temple is now destroyed
By the greediness of your black, twisted soul.
I'm dead guiltless!
I ask for revenge!
One after the other you all must die
Time will not stop the Templar's revenge
The great injustice asks to be avenged with blood
For innocent lives that died in flames.

And now you sleep
Your longest and last sleep
With no awakening

Under that holy cross
That stands tall in the wind in memory.

The epitaph upon your grave
Reminds us still
Of your great love for life.

Now listen to me
You're ready to be
Led across the way
From which you cannot stray.

The phase you're begun
Leads you towards the sun
And when you'll see the light
It will end your plight

In all soul's day

The trumpets of judgement
Shall call again
For your cold body.

Your empty orbits
Now full of worms
Return to see again

'Cause we're all here
And here we wait
While your ashes
Blow like dust in the wind.

Now listen to me
You're ready to be
Led across the way
From which you cannot stray.

The phase you're begun
Leads you towards the sun
And when you'll see the light
It will end your plight

In all soul's day

Death walks behind you,
Death walks behind you,

Lock the door, switch the light.
You'll be so afraid tonight.
Hide away from the beast,
Count the nine lives that you had.

Start to scream, shout for help,
There is no one by your side.
To forget what is done,
Seems so hard to carry on.

Death walks behind you,
Death walks behind you,

(Death walks behind you,)
(Death walks behind you.)

Luck is gone, end is near,
Bring yourself to understand,
It's your fate, or what's cast,
Point a finger at yourself.

(Death walks behind you,)
(Death walks behind you.)

Father of the world, where have you gone?
The sons you have made are loosin' their minds.

The seed of all evil is now sown in their hearts
War killing machine is never gonna stop.

No! No! No! No! No!
This is not the way to go
The world needs your love!
Where have you gone?

Your child of madness is longing for his life
'Cause war, sickness and death have knocked him to the ground

This world is going to pieces,
We can't make it all alone
We have been forsaken
At the beginning of the end.

No! No! No! No! No!

War! AIDS! Drugs!
Fanatics! Priests! Bombs!
You don't care!

No! No! No! No! No!
This is not the way to go

Where have you gone?

Children, babies and boys
That live in this century
Want to destroy
All that is possible
With their evil minds
With their sharpest knives
And horrible eyes.

Nazi babies with cadaver eyes
Emerge from the ocean
To bring destruction
Life crazy monsters
With countless tentacles
Advance in the darkness
On a hopeless night.

They leave the message of their evolution
The scheme of a life
Based on our death
They have no feelings
And no human genes
They're only machines
Come forth from our dread.

Humanity needs new generations
So don't be surprised by their horrible eyes!

"...And then came the beast that rose from the
Abyss, like a big dragon with the colour of fire
With seven heads and ten horns, with seven diadems
Over the heads. His tail fascinates the third part
Of the stars, and makes them fall down to mother
Earth. The big dragon gave birth to his sons,
Destined to rule all the nations, with horrible
Eyes and a bar of iron, to snatch from God his throne!"
