The Vision Bleak - The Deathship Has A New Captain lyrics



Tracks



01. A Shadow Arose

His breath fills the night
The shadow arose!
No one by my side
No place to hide
No road to flee
The seed of the night
Sent from the sea...

02. The Night Of The Living Dead

It was a chilly eve as fog rose from the tombs
And owls were howling proclaiming our doom.
Look and behold! Shadows walking
The dead are calling....

This is the night of the living dead
A nightmare
The devil's called is creatures
all are out to get your head!

This is the night of the living dead,
Oh Baby, this is the night of the undead....

They creep and crawl down from the hills
With penetrating stench, the air is slowly filled
Look and behold! Shadows walking
The dead are calling....

This is the night of the living dead
A nightmare-
The devil's called is creatures,
All are out to get your head!

This is the night of the living dead,
Oh Baby, this is the night of the undead....

03. Wolfmoon

Deep, deep shadows cast down on earth
by the cold moon's light.
In the moorland the mists rise up
This is the Werewolf's night.

Twelve o'clock - the churchbells strike
I hear the Wolfman's call.
His eyes are burning deamon-like
This night he get's you all.

Wolfmoon, Wolfmoon burning bright
Through the forests of the night
Wolfmoon, Wolfmoon set him free
From thy gruesome tyranny!

Oh, young fair maid, did you not see
The moon is full tonight?
Run -don't walk- from the moorland, flee!
Before he is in sight...

To feast upon thy maiden flesh
To eat thy heart and soul.
Wolfmoon, Wolfmoon burning bright
Through the forests of the night

Wolfmoon, Wolfmoon set him free
From thy gruesome tyranny!

04. Metropolis

A monument of insane thoughts
Clad in iron hellfire.
The massive towers of Babylon
Leading way up to the sky...

And deep below, the underground
The odem of a soulless world.
The giant clockwork that swallows all
Ticks all life away....

That's Metropolis...
A thousand men of broken hope
Slaves to the devil's machine.
Kept alive, by iron lounges
Down in Metropolis city.

The massive towers of babylon
Leading way up to the sky.
And deep below, the underground
The odem of a soulless world.

That's Metropolis...

06. Horror Of Antarctica

Within the shadow of the arctic mounts of ice
Night had veiled the pole and darkness filled the sky.
The air was so cold - cutting our skin

Freezing voices called us and the
Winter winds did sing:

Tekeli-li, Tekeli-li
Through the night...

What ghoulish creatures brought 'em forth?
What sphere had opened wide?

Tekeli-li, Tekeli-li
Sounding through the air...

Where it did lead us to, no mortal
Man should dare.
Right before our eyes of monolithic size
One labyrinth of cities - draped in moonlight - did arise

Tekeli-li, Tekeli-li
Through the night...
Leading to the icy ruins
A long forbidden site...

Tekeli-li, Tekeli-li
Through the night...

Build by horror creatures
From beyond our spheres of light...

07. The Lone Night Rider

When night has fallen dark and cold
And mists rise up from ground of old.
When fullmoon lights the earth in fright
The lone grim rider chills the night...

Here come's the lone night rider
This is his melody...
His victims might not know it yet
Their head is what he's out to get!

Here come's the lone night rider
This is his melody...
He takes away your pleasure
This is your vision bleak!

08. The Grand Devilry

He is the wolf
That haunts the night
And the full moon's
Blasphemous light.

He is the apple
That brought us sin
And he is evil
On the murderers grin...

If you feel fear it is the devil
The old comrade of the dark
And if you hide you will fail to see
The grand devilry!

So if you hate it is his stage
He plays the wicked and the wretched
And if you hide you will fail to see
The grand devilry!

He is the poison
In our heart.
The flaming word
In each poets art.

He is the weapon
That leads through war
And he is the light
Of the morningstar...

If you feel fear it is the devil
The old comrade of the dark
And if you hide you will fail to see
The grand devilry!

So if you hate it is his stage
He plays the wicked and the wretched
And if you hide you will fail to see
The grand devilry!

09. Deathship Symphony

Through moorland mist and fullmoon light
We claimed the devil-tongues!
We sailed the sea in ghoulish night
Salt water filled our lounges...

We made our way through frost and snow
Under arctic skies.
Through monuments of steel - below!
A shadow did arise...
With fear you will stumble
Before the deamons you will see.

From the grottos of hell to the dark
Skies above

The Deathship Symphony!
Once darkness has fallen
There is no return!

Cursed to sail the sea of the damned

The Deathship Symphony!
