In her Attic room stood a shrine
Made for ancient relics, evil or divine
On Christmas eve she took her own life
What a tragedy, but what she did was heresy

Black magic, alchemy
Giving worship to pagan Gods is blasphemy
Her relatives entombed at the local grave mound
But for her disgrace, she's buried in unholy ground

Funeral in the woods
Her shame is not over yet
A wooden cross between the trees
But she won't rest in peace

Funeral in the woods
Damned to rot alone
A wooden cross between the trees
But she won't rest...
She won't rest in peace

In her Attic room stood a shrine
Made for ancient relics, evil or divine
On the skirts of the wood, they found her
Hanging on a tree, oh what she did was heresy

Demons arise from the cauldron
Black magic reigns tonight
At the fireplace
We hex our enemies

Blood is spilled on the ground
Let's start the ritual
But remember girl,
This initiation takes its toll

Surrender to the master
Sell your soul
Surrender to the master
Sell your soul

Now swear the oath
Join the coven
Drink from the chalice of blood

Now swear the oath
Join the coven
Drink from the chalice of blood

Pledge your loyalty to Satan
Give up your chastity
Undress for the master
And dance in ecstacy

Immerse yourself in a world of lust
When Saturn shows its might
Kiss the goat and join our witches ride

All you've seen remains our secret
This union is a pact forever
If you ever leave our path,
Expect a slow and anguished death

Now I'm kneeling in your ashes,
At the place where witches burn
What have they done to you?
Was I ensnared by a demon, ... a succubus?
No... I loved you

I'll do anything
I'll sell my soul to the devil
Though I begged them to spare your life
Church authority is always right
Damn you Christ, tonight I'll make them pay

For Lucifer is my witness, their whole parish will burn
I know revenge won't ever bring her back to life again
But those who burned Edlyn are gonna burn in hell as well

May the flames clean their corrupted souls
This is the last time they're sleeping tight
'Cause all of them gonna die tonight
Oh Lord, they're all condemned to hell

Edlyn, she wasn't at the Sabbath on that fateful night
But inquisitions forced confessions are so goddamn right
Oh Edlyn

Christianity,
It's you that I deny
Church dignitaries,
In agony you'll die!

In the countryside,
Where you're looking for seclusion
There is a mansion where ghosts wait for their retribution

An abandoned orphanage,
Once left in ruins
Became a death trap for so many kids

When the curtain of night falls on the orphanage
They're coming from beyond to steal your soul
From the other side they are still watching
Listen closely, you can hear them scream

One gruesome night,
The orphanage was set ablaze
The kids in the dorm room,
Eaten by the flames

Who was the arsonist?
What a horrific sight,
Small bodies in charred beds

The noises heard at night
That's not the wind
They'll haunt the living to take revenge in the end
To find peace at last

[instrumental]

Black candles burn in this convent tonight
We forced our way in their sacred halls

To chant a litany of blasphemy
To pay obeisance to our lord

One of the nuns will join sacrament of lust
A human sacrifice under the inverted cross

"Oh sister you don't have to renounce your God
We just need your life, we need your blood"

Satanas, I call thee
Lucifer, I invoke thy demons
Azazel rise from utter darkness
I bow to you and avow myself to the liturgy of sin

Incense is rising to the chapel ceiling
Time to recite the incantation

We are enlightened,
Disciples of the dark lord
We feed the black flame

"While the other nuns are sleeping,
You can witness God's demise
Sister, you'll see the frailty of Christ"

We are priests of the left hand path
The lord we praise tonight is not the God above

The clock striked midnight
Don't leave your home anymore
'Cause the headless horseman rides tonight
Coming to decapitate you - fear his might!

He's shattering the silence
With his ghastly cries
Is he coming for you?
He's wearing robes of black
The ambassador of death
Don't lose your head!

Never pass the haunted moor at night
Beware of the headless rider
When you hear his hooves, you know it's too late
Beware of the headless rider!

A sallow full moon
The only light that shines throught the trees
The black spectre has returned from the dead
Risen from his grave to steal your head

He's racing through the darkness
On his undead horse
Run as fast as you can!
He will hunt you down
Till the night is gone
At the break of dawn, he is done

Never pass the haunted moor at night
Beware of the headless rider
When you hear his hooves, you know it's too late
Beware of the headless rider!

When the swamps are covert with snow
Everything seems peaceful
Though you know what's down below

Even if he knew there was something amiss
He went into her trap
Mesmerized by evil, a woman he can't resist
"Henry, I'll show you my secret" she said
Bewitched by beauty, a lady in white
"Follow me to the temple of night"

"You are a part of a ritual
And you will die in this sacred hall"

She drank his blood like wine
Under the devils sign
A call to the master
Unholy angels sing a chant full of sin
Hail to the queen of the light
She is Satan's bride

Henry was awakened by a glaring light
It was so bright a sharp pain filled his eyes

A ritualistic fire was blazing in the temple
"Hear my call... my lord my master"
She was screaming in ecstasy
Henry was tied to an altar of sin
"Let the ritual begin"

Fallen Angel, Beelzebub, oh Lucifer
Hear my call
Take this human sacrifice, my carnal offering
Take his flesh and rise again

Under the cloudless nightsky
I returned to my secret lair
A hidden place in castle ruins

The wolfs are howling tonight
The stars align, the perfect time

To celebrate a rebirth of evil
To unleash Hell's forces again
Tonight I found the way to the hidden crypt
And to the vicious treasure kept in it

A hoof written in blood, bound in human skin
I found the key to omniscience
With pages so unholy, I put my curse on this world
Lucifer I'll follow your decree

High priest of the unholy
Reveal your lore to me
I'm faithful to the princes of hell

To the North, South, East and West
I conjure up familiar demons
To crush the weak, my wrath is on fire

I desecrate your frail guardian angels
I'll unleash Hell's forces again
Tonight I found the way to the hidden crypt
And to forbidden knowledge kept in it

Evil, reveal your darkened secrets
Evil, may the infernal flames crush the saint
Satan, I obey to you master
Evil, reveal your darkened secrets to me
