DOOMED BY THE LIVING DEAD
I'm back again, back in the evil
night, and you're waiting
Doomed by the living dead, flames
are rising, can't you see
you're dying
The wolves are howlin', a baby's
cry in the distance, cold winds
blowing
in the dead of night, flames are
rising, can't you see you're dying
No way to survive this evil night,
if the dead won't leave you
alone
So just say goodbye to all your
holy angels, you're gonna die
Long black hair, face like a dead,
I am here, Satan in my head
You can't see nothing but confusing
mirrors, now you feel it
It's getting nearer, flames are
rising, can't you see you're dying
So dark in your mind, breath of
Satan in my back, I can't help
you
cause I'm one of the dead, flames
are rising, can't you see you're
dying
No way to survive this evil night,
if the dead won't leave you
alone
So just say goodbye to all your
fuckin' angels.
A CORPSE WITHOUT SOUL
Listen, I'm a corpse, I'm a corpse,
I'm a corpse without soul
Satan, he's taken, he's taken,
he's taken his toll
And he took it out on me
I, I'm trapped, I'm trapped, I'm
trapped in his spell
Tonight, I'm going, I'm going,
I'm going to Hell, inside his spell
I was walking down among the graves,
I heard a cry, my
shadow is gone
Emptiness in my body, I felt so
alone, Small black wings on my
naked back
Now guess what I saw on one of
the stones, I saw my soul, in a
magical haze
It was all dressed up as a corpse
in a wedding dress
Small black wings on my naked back,
now hear my prayer,
beggin' for mercy
I'm living to die, Satan has taken
his toll.
NUNS HAVE NO FUN
Upon a cross a nun will be hanged,
she will be raped by an evil man
Knock spikes through her hands,
things won't come she won't understand
You're a nun you haven't had no
fun,
living your life as virgin queen
I'm gonna change it and I'll get
it done,
tomorrow you won't be a virgin
queen
C. U. N. T. that's what you are,
you're C. U. N. T. yeah
I get it up, I get it up in the
dark, I make her feel I'm not a holy
man
Faster breathing, she's like a
shark, she want's more
I'm gonna give her my cross
Nuns have no fun, They just have
their fathers and sons
But I'll give them hell, I never
fail
Nuns have no fun, They just have
their fathers and sons
But I'll give them hell, I never
fail
I get it up, I get it up in the
dark, I make her feel I'm not a holy
man
Faster breathing, she's like a
shark, she want's more
I'm gonna give her my cross
C. U. N. T. that's what you are,
you're C. U. N. T. yeah.
DEVIL EYES
Angel, lady in white, stay away,
you know my forces, Devil eyes
I'll take you to hell, You're inside
my spell, In Lucifer's mirror
And I am his killer, I'm devil
eyes
Angel, lady in white, you've had
your time, now you are mine,
Devil eyes
I'll take you to hell, You're inside
my spell, In Lucifer's mirror
And I am his killer
Oh yeah, I'm devil eyes, Oh yeah,
I love my eyes, Oh yeah,
those evil eyes,
Oh yeah, I love my eyes (I'm gonna
get you)
I am heading for the gates of hell,
bringing a victim, she's angel
eyes
I took her to hell, In Lucifer's
spell, I am his mirror
And still I'm his killer, still
I'm his killer, Devil eyes, Devil eyes.
CURSE OF THE PHARAHOS
Away out in Egypt in the valley
of kings
Where the mummified pharaohs
Pretend dead in their sleep
Don't touch, never ever steal
Unless you're in for the kill
Or you'll be hit by the curse of
the pharaohs
Yes you'll be hit and the curse
is on you
Now if you're breakin' the seals
and disturbing the peace
Then you're startin' up a curse
Bringin' evil disease
Don't touch, never ever steal
Unless you're in for the kill
Or you'll be hit by the curse of
the pharaohs
Yes you'll be hit and the curse
is on you
The curse of the pharaohs can be
so deadly
Or just destroying your future
Takin' it all shady
Don't touch, never ever steal
Unless you're in for the kill
Or you'll be hit by the curse of
the pharaohs
Yes you'll be hit and the curse
is on you
INTO THE COVEN
Howl like a wolf
And a witch will open the door
Follow me and meet our high priestess
Come, come into my coven
And become Lucifer's child
Undress until you're naked
And put on this white coat
Take this white cross and go to
the middle of the ring
Come, come into my coven
And become Lucifer's child
Now crush it, crush the cross
Suck the blood from this unholy
knif VBCVBN?.KWXXXXVGFFBH./ BG BVld
Into the coven
Lucifer's child
AT THE SOUND OF THE DEMON BELL
Halloween is the night
The legend says the ghost will
rise
On Halloween they can't redeem
A restless soul from an ancient
scene
At the sound of the demon bell
Everything will burn to Hell
Rise... rise... rise... It's Halloween
Rise... rise... The ghost will
rise
Reconciled with the powers of darkness
He'll uncover a saint
You won't believe? See for yourself
I hear a bell
A sound from Hell, the demon bell
I see a lightin' shadow in between
the graves
Swinging his sword of hate towards
the gates of Heaven
"Beelzebub, Astaroth...Bring me
the Devil"
And as he says these words I can't
believe my eyes
Upon a burnin' cross
The "Lord't Jesus, Satan's above
It must be a shame
To see the Lord fallin' again
Now rise, reconcile with the powers
of darkness
Uncover a saint
You better believe or see for yourself
BLACK FUNERAL
Bring the black box to the altar
Now raise your hands and do the
sign
Oh hail Satan, yes hail Satan
Lay down your swords, the evil
star
It's a black funeral
She was a victim of my coven
Open the black box on the altar
Her blood is still hot, so let
it out
Oh hail Satan, yes hail Satan
Now drink it, drink, drink, forget
that whore
It's a black funeral
She was the victim of my coven
SATAN'S FALL
They're walking by the night
The moon has frozen blue
Long black coats a shelter for
the rain
Their load must get through
Now bats are leaving their trees
They're joining the call
Seven satanic Hell preachers
Heading for the hall
Bringing the blood of a newborn
child
Got to succeed, if not it's Satan's
fall
Home... Come home
Evil messengers with blood stained
wings
Home... Come home
Home... Come home
Is it Satan's fall?
No... It's Satan's call
Craniums high on stakes
It's Satan's epigraph
Something you can't erase... 666
They call him the beast
Use your demon eyes, uncover the
disguise
Time is out.. Yeah, I don't need
your god
Oh the law of Satan
Pray and obey it forever
Oh the law of Satan
Innocent lovers...it's a lie
Iron fists won't do no good against
the evil eyes
Of seven holy Hell preachers, don't
you even try
Now they cross the river Styx and
see the castle rise
So high
Waiting on the other shore for
Charon to arrive
A shape with horns and glowing
eyes, Satanrs still alive
He receives the sacrifice with
evil laughs and pride
You better escape, you've got to
escape
You cannot escape
MELISSA
I'm kneeling in front of the altar
Satan's cross upon the wall
Strange emptiness, a crystal ball
between two candles
Melissa has entered another life
Melissa, you were mine
Melissa, you were the light
She was a witch
Why did they take you away?
Melissa, you were the queen of
the night
Melissa, you were my light
I swear revenge on the priest
The priest must die
He must die in the name of Hell
Melissa, can you hear me?
Melissa, are you there?
Nothing is left outside at the
stake
BLACK MASSES
Come and join
My black masses
Bring along
Your iron axes
Now draw a circle
Right here in the light
I'll tell you
Just what to write
Elohim...Adonai...Tetragrammaton
Slaughtering babies

If we're lucky
We can see them for days
'cause baby blood
Is full of strength
But I tell you
Oh how it stinks
Give me some baby blood
Elohim...Adonai...Tetragrammaton
Black masses...black masses...black
masses...
Runnin' wild
Spittin' blood
In my lady's face
I show her my pets
A few rotten heads
And about my lady
If she can't take it
She's got to face it
I'll slaughter her too
Come and join
My black masses
Bring along
Your iron axes
Now draw a circle
Right here in the light
I'll tell you
Just what to write
Elohim...Adonai...Tetragrammaton

NIGHTMARE
Am I awake or is this just a Dream?

THE OLD OAK
Do you remember the bridge?
The bridge that was standing in
ruin
Do you remember the sign?
Demons and witches were doing
They say it's a bad place
They say it's a magic place
Deep down under
The soil of this unholy land
Deep down under
The roots of a tree they have damned
It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree
It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree
Solo: Shermann
Nothing will grow in the ground
The Old Oak is killing it all
If you are ever around
Beware of the Oak and its charm
It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree
It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree
The Old Oak might make you blind
The Old Oak might trick your eyes
Hypnotized.....
It's a bad sign
When the Autumn comes and the leaves
are gone
Oh it's a bad sign
The Oak must feed in order to breed
Bad sign....... Bad sign
It's a bad sign when the Autumn
comes
And the leaves are gone
It's a nightmare found
I wonder... what made this magic
tree so
Solo: Shermann
Solo: Denner
Hang with me, hang with the hangman
Another season in another century
Hang with me, hang with the hangman
Blood from the madmen we hung in
that
tree
Blood to the ground
Blood to the roots.... Red
All around the Old Oak
Deep into the ground they buried
them
Indians of ancient times
Saw it as a holy shrine
Can you believe, sacrificing their
own
Must have been a mighty GOD
To receive a gift of life
All the people must have known
Happiness would come if sown
Can you believe, sacrificing their
own
Solo: Denner
The Old Oak might make you blind
The Old Oak might trick your eyes
Hypnotized.....
Solo: Shermann
No! Don't hang with me
As I go back to the Old Oak tree
SHADOWS
When the darkness eats away the
day
And the moon bears witness to the
graves
In the shadows we are alive
In the shadows, The Light
Can you see the ghosts above our
heads?
We are all in there with the dead
In the shadows we are alive
In the shadows, The Light
Solo: Shermann
In the darkness there is no holding
back
There is no gold in black
Deep in the night
Everything is clear
Clearer than daylight
In the land of mystery we share
You can come along if you dare
In the shadows we are alive
In the shadows, The Light
Solo: Denner
We are hiding in the shadows on
your wall
We are watching as you kiss your
little doll
When the darkness leaves the night
We cannot see The Light no more
No more
We are always in the shadows by
your door
But when the darkness leaves the
night
We cannot see The Light no more
No more
There is no holding back
There is no gold in black
Deep in the night
Everything is clear
Clearer than daylight
Solo: Denner
Solo: Shermann
A GRUESOME TIME
Everything is so strange in here
And as I look through your eyes
I can see what you're thinking
of me
I am deep inside
Deep inside your head, causing
you pain
Deep inside your head, causing
you pain
Eternal pain
All your secrets are done my dear
And as I look through your eyes
I can see all the things that you
fear
I am deep inside
Deep inside your head, causing
you pain
Deep inside your head, causing
you pain
Eternal pain
Solo: Shermann
I'm the dreams you don't wanna
dream
I'm the things you don't wanna
see
I'm the dreams you don't wanna
dream
I am the night of sin.....
Solo: Denner
I wanna see you in tears
The end is near.....
I am deep inside
Deep inside your head, causing
you pain
Deep inside your head, causing
you pain
Eternal pain
I've come to give you a gruesome
time
For all the evil you have done
I'll keep a coming until the end
I'll keep a coming back my friend
THIRTEEN INVITATIONS
The mansion was right on the shore
Down by the lake
Nobody had lived here before
But the Devil himself
Thirteen invitations
Sent out through the night
Thirteen invitations
They would all arrive in time
Solo: Shermann
They gathered around the mansion
Thirteen in all
They had the same intention
Never to fall
Thirteen invitations
Sent out through the night
Thirteen invitations
Promising eternal life
So you want to be alive forevermore
I will turn the wheel of time
None of you will ever have to die
I will turn the wheel of time
Turning the wheel
Turning the wheel of time
But first we must play a game
The game of souls
Sit down! Don't move around!
Deal those cards!
They played all night 'till the
morning light
And the Devil, he smiled on his
own
They played all night for eternal
life
Or the chance of losing their souls
High will win, low is the sin
They played all night in the burning
light
The thirteen were sharing a nine
High will win, low is the sin
The final card was in the Devil's
hand
The King of Diamonds would win
Solo: Denner
Solo: Shermann
They could never leave the mansion
Forever inside
They had lost their souls of creation
But they were alive
Thirteen invitations
Sent out through the night
Thirteen invitations
And the mansion was mine

LEGEND OF THE HEADLESS RIDER
"The Rise"
I'm an undertaker
I'm a ghost in the night
I'm a coffin shaker
This graveyard site is mine
Take a look at the sky, see that
evil eye
Tonight the moon is cold as ice
Oh yeah...cold as ice...oh yeah
There's a black horse waiting
Will HE be on time?
The graveyard's shaking
Should I turn my eyes and walk
away
Take a look at the sky, see that
evil eye
Tonight the Headless Rider rides
Midnight...let the churchbell ring
It's midnight, All Hallows Eve
It's midnight, All Hallows Eve
I see him rising from his grave
I see him rising from his grave.......
"The Chase"
On All Hallows Eve, Never to forget
He rides the open field
In search of his head
My GOD, he's so grotesque
Should I stay?
My GOD, a scythe in his hand
NO WAY
He's coming...I'm running
He's coming...I'm running
Deep inside I know I'm the one
He's coming...I'm running
Deep inside I know this is wrong
Help me, I'm falling down
Solo: Shermann
I'm falling down...
I'm looking up...I'm in a grave
"Doomed"
In this hollow grave
I can smell that he's near
Will I ever never make it
Will I shed a tear
Oh it's strange how everything's
changing
Now my life is fading away
In this hollow grave
I see a bony hand
Don't you ever never take it
It's the key to his land
Oh it's strange how everything's
changing
Now my life is fading away
Solo: Denner
Oh it's strange how everything's
changing
Now my life is fading away
NO!
"Epilogue"
The mind in my headless body
Seems to be chained to the inside
I cannot move towards the light...
And as he rides away
Leaving me with this curse
I hear his laughter in the distance
Actually it's my laughter, he stole
my head
Does this mean I'll be The One
next year???
IS THAT YOU, MELISSA ?
Oh...Melissa, You're in my dreams
You're with me every day
Oh...Melissa, could that really
be
your voice I hear?
Too soon for you and I
The priest took his sacrifice
And sent you to the other side
Oh...Melissa, You're in my dreams
You're with me every day
Oh...Melissa, do you remember
the time we shared?
Do you remember the magic nights?
I will never forget your smile
Do you remember the love we
had?...
Oh the love we had
Solo: Shermann
"No...Melissa"
You gotta tell me why
"No...Melissa"
I want her by my side
Solo: Shermann
"This is against the rules
there won't be another time"
Melissa tell me why
I wanna know why
"No...Melissa"
You gotta tell me why
"No...Melissa"
I want her by my side
Oh...Melissa, You're in my dreams
You're with me every day
Oh...Melissa, close your eyes
and say goodbye
One last time...we'll kiss goodbye
Solo: Denner
I kiss your soul goodbye

WITCHE'S DANCE
Just like a demon's eye
The moon was dancing on the blackened
sky
In my sleep nothing is real, dreaming...
I'm dreaming
I can feel the shadows lurking
I can feel them closing in
I can hear their evil chanting
This is not a dream for a king
Chorus:
Dancing the Witche's Dance... Dancing
the Dance
Dancing the Witche's Dance... Dancing
the Dance
Cold hands, leading the way
Through the woods and into the
night
Outside nothing is real, dreaming...
I'm dreaming
I can see a fire burning
Hooded shapes are all around
I can see a throne of silver
Thirteen we are in all
Chorus
Before the Goat Of Mendes... We
all must take our turn
Into the magic circle... Where
still the fire burns
We're spinning round and round...
Until one takes a fall
The fallen one will not return,
the fallen one must burn
SOLO: Denner
Just like a demon's eye
The moon is dancing on the blackened
sky
I'm awake but nothing is real
Dreaming... Not dreaming
I can feel the shadows lurking
I can feel them closing in
I can hear their evil chanting
This is not a dream at all
Chorus
I wish this was only a dream...
A dream
Within a dream
SOLO: Shermann - Denner

THE MAD ARAB
PART ONE: THE VISION
The son of a shepherd, Abdul Alhazred
Travelling in the mountains, the
mountains to the east
One night before him, there stood
that giant rock
3 symbols carved in blood
He built a fire at its root
To protect him from the wolves...
The Mad Arab... He would understand
The Mad Arab... It was in his hands...
Later that same night, awoken by
wolfen's cry
The Arab cold with fear, saw the
rock began to rise... Rise
The son of a shepherd, Abdul Alhazred
Shivering he saw Them coming, the
mountain's evil priests
Black robes came together, around
the floating rock
3 symbols in the dark
They all started chanting ancient
songs
It was prayer in unknown tongue...
The Mad Arab... He would understand
The Mad Arab... It was in his hands
SOLO: Shermann - Denner
Daggers held high to the sky
The chanting had turned to screams
From the pit where the rock had
been
8 snake-like monsters came
And the priests burned in red
And the priest had turned their
heads
The blood running from their chests
Had the Arab scream in horror...
Giving himself away
The Mad Arab... He would understand
The Mad Arab... It was in his hands
Run down that mountain side, oh
but they had seen him
The priests had caught his scent
Running faster... They're chasing
him
Can't go no faster... They're still
behind
Aaaah NO!!! They're closing in...
...TO BE CONTINUED...
MY DEMON
This house is full of hate, this
house is full of madness
This house is deep insane, this
house was never mine
Chorus:
Deep in the dark you will find
us
DEMON and I we are both deep inside
Yes My DEMON and I we are mine
All of the deadle kisses, all of
the sick, sick, sickness
All of the broken mirrors, it's
here to stay forever
Chorus
SOLO: Shermann
Chorus 2:
Come along... Come along, meet
My DEMON... DEMON... My DEMON...
DEMON
The poison deep within, I can't
let HIM out again
The dark stains on the floor, they
won't come off anymore
So here we go again, digging the
knife in
Who will be next? Who will be our
next guest?
SOLO: Denner
I hate that GOD damn cellar, I
wish I never went there
It always was and will be, I cannot
make it go away
Chorus 2
The poison deep within, I can't
let HIM out again
The dark stains on the floor, they
won't come off anymore
So here we go again, be my guest!!!

When you ring your demon bell
You think I'll en up in Hell
Chorus:

LADY IN BLACK
On a magical misty morning
I was standing in the Autumn rain
Suddenly the birds fell silent
Would I ever hear them sing again...
Hear them sing again...
Without a word of warning
I saw a shadow in the Autumn rain
Just like in my nightly dreams
The Lady In Black had come again...
The Lady had come again...
Begging me to follow her into the
misty rain
Begging me to follow her into the
no more pain
SOLO: Shermann - Denner
Her eyes were hypnotizing
Burning deep inside my brain
The Lady In Black was here now
She was here to take me far away...
Take me far away...
"Follow me to the other side"
Through the tunnel of light we
travel, fading away
Through the tunnel of light we
travel
We're fading away
Through the light that's shinning
bright
We're fading away
Through the light that's shinning
bright
We're fading away
MIRROR
SOLO: Shermann
The girl in the mirror, she's not
really there
Only I can see her, in all her
misery
Chorus:
The girl in the mirror, she's caught
in a spell
The girl in the mirror, between
Heaven and Hell
Can't you feel it, those haunting
eyes
She's so devine, could be magic
of a kind
Chorus
SOLO: Denner
Take a look in the mirror
Deep inside there's a world of
its own
Take a look in the mirror
See what you might find
Try to reach my hand
Try to reach through the glass...
Try... Try...
'Cause the longest journey is the
one on your own
If we break the mirror, do you
think they'll let you go
Chorus
THE AFTERLIFE
SOLO: Denner
Why am I here, in a quiet mortuary
A lady and man, flowers in their
hands
Nobody sees me, I don't understand
Nobody hears me...
Seems like I don't exist
Seems like no one can hear me as
I... Scream
I do not feel the way I used to
be
Could it really be that the one
I see is me
You gotta tell why people come
but never stay
Could it really be that the one
I see is me
Does it really matter... Do you
really care
Why am I here, in a quiet mortuary
Listen to the bell, calling my
name
Nobody sees, calling my name
Nobody hears me...As I... Scream
Why do I feel like I've been left
behind
Could it really be I'm in the afterlife
You gotta tell me why I feel like
I've been left behind
Could it really be I'm in the afterlife
Does it really matter... Do you
really care
SOLO: Shermann - Denner
Why do I feel like I've been left
behind
Could it really be I'm in the afterlife
You gotta tell why people come
but never stay
Could it really be I'm in the afterlife
Does it really matter... Do you
really care

CASTILLO DEL MORTES
Somewhere in ancient Spain, close
to what was BAECULA
There lay Castillo Del Mortes
To be known as "House Of The Dead"
Oh no... Oh not here
A fool was playing with magic,
magic he did not understand
He opened the unholy gates
Letting out The Ancient Ones from
Hell
SOLO: Shermann
600 people standing on the castle
walls
Screaming for mercy, someone must
have heard their calls
600 wondering what's going on
Two armies in the sky, forming
and in battle line
Hear the battle cries...
7 cohorts of angels, fighting for
The Elders to win
7 cohorst of angels, fighting for
the people within
The "House Of The Dead" soon to
be buried in sin
9 units of demons, The Ancient
Ones command
9 units of demons, The Ancient
Ones will stand
For the "House Of The Dead" will
soon be buried in sin
SOLO: Shermann
600 were watching in horror as
they began to fight
None of the armies were using a
weapon
As it is known to man
Demons and Angels were falling
in numbers
Out of the burning sky... The burning
sky
"Retreat, retreat", Oh the angels
flee, "Defeat, defeat"
The battle's over, it's done
Somewhere in ancient Spain, close
to what was BAECULA
There lay the battleground where
many an angel was slain
SOLO: Shermann
9 units of demons bringing unbearable
sin
9 units of demons coming for the
people within
The "House Of The Dead" will soon
live up to its name
600 people running deep inside
600 people trying to hide
From the Ancient Ones
But there's nowhere to run on this
day
SOLO: Denner
There is no need to speak of the
horrible fate
Bestowed upon the 600 from BAECULA
LUCIFER
Our father who are in Hell
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom is come
Thy will is done
On earth as it is in Hell
We take this night our rightful
due
And trespass not on the path of
He
Lead us unto temptation
And deliver us from false deity
For thine is the Kingdom
And the Power
And the Glory
Forever
Shemhamforash!
THE UNINVITED GUEST
SOLO: Shermann
There's a little old man...standing
by my window
There's a little old man...hiding
in the shadows
The univited guest, could never
have been a friend
The univited guest, he would never
come back again
There's a little old man...I'd
say he looks like Misery
There's a little old man...I could
really use his company
The univited guest, could never
have been a friend
The univited guest, he would never
come back again
SOLO: Denner
Come inside...and stay for a little
while
Come in from the cold and warm
your heart
"You would not know of me...we
never met before
The name is Damian and I used to
live in this house"
SOLO: Denner
The univited guest, could never
have been a friend
The univited guest, he would never
come back again
There's a little old man...I'd
say he looks like Misery
There's a little old man...I could
really use his company
The univited guest, could never
have been a friend
The univited guest, he would never
come back again
SOLO: Denner
So I said farewell...until we meet
again
You can come again my friend, any
day you want
I later learned that he was never
here
I later learned that he'd been
dead a year
The univited
GHOST OF CHANGE
Walking...on a cold and white December
night
I hear...the voices from the other
side
Calling my name, must be that olden
friend
I think she has come to see me
once again
Do you...still remember the old
oak tree
I...do, the feeling's coming back
to me
Calling my name, must be that olden
friend
I think she has come to see me
once again
SOLO: Shermann
You are the ghost of change, and
now we meet again
You are the ghost of change, but
I will always be the same
Ghost of change...do you remember
my name
Ghost of change...do you remember
my name
I took her hand, and then we walked
into the night
I took her hand, and then we watched
the moon go by
Memories...of long forgotten times
I took a chance to relive my life
and then I saw her
She smiled
You are the ghost of change, and
now we meet again
You are the ghost of change, but
I will always be the same
The same
Walking...on a cold and white December
night
I...hear, the voices from the other
side
Calling my name, must be that olden
friend
I think she has come to see me
once again
Ghost of change...do you remember
my name
Ghost of change...do you remember
my name
SOLO: Denner
You are the ghost of change, and
now we meet again
You are the ghost of change, but
I will always be the same
LISTEN TO THE BELL
Up in the hills where the sun goes
down
There's an old black church and
a broken town
The sun goes down
The trees are dead and the river
is dry
And they blame it all on the old
belfry
The devils cry
Why? Why? Why? Listen to the bell
Why? Why? Why?
Listen to the bell and it just
might tell you why
SOLO: Denner
It's a dark and lonely road to
the old belfry
And if you're alone, you'll never
survive...No..No..No
Deep...in the shadows
Everywhere I hear the devils cry
Why? Why? Do the devils cry?
Why? Why? Why? Do the devils cry?
SOLO: Shermann
I have seen the gateway that leads
beyond
So far away from the burning sun
I've seen the Maker, I've seen
the Taker
I've seen whatever you call THEM
there
The blazing ruby eyes in the old
belfry
Listen to the bell if you wanna
know why
You gotta listen to the bell
And then you just might hear the
sound of HELL
Why?...Why?...Why?...You gotta
tell me why
Why?...Why? Why do the devils cry?
Why?...Why? Why do the devils cry?
FIFTEEN MEN (And a Bottle of
Rhum)
1640. The Caribbean Sea, the wind
was just a breeze
Heading for a Western shore, the
barque was sailing East
Close hauled into the eye
The "Unicorn" was riding high on
the tide
And the rum went down their throats...with
a twist of wine
Just...after midnight, nobody saw
the Antigua shore
Just...after midnight, nobody heard
the thunder roar
Ohh...they were heading straight
for the reefs
Just...after midnight, they were
caught by the storm
SOLO: Shermann - Denner
1640. The Caribbean Sea, the wind
was not just a breeze
The captain and the crew were fighting
for their lives
But they didn't stand a chance
with their drunken minds
Going down...to their watery graves
Going down...going down...
Fifteen men and a bottle of rum
It's the captain and the crew of
the "Unicorn"
Listen hard on a stormy night
And you just might hear them singing
that rhyme
Oh yeah...A ghost that never dies
Fifteen men and a bottle of rum
It's the captain stuck in the "Unicorn"
Oh yeah...A ghost that never dies
It's a warning, storm is coming,
yeah, you better look out
INTO THE UNKNOWN
Darkness we are here tonight to
select who's gonna die
Has everyone arrived?
Darkness open wide and let the
lights go dim
While I dig into your soul my friend...
Looking for sin...sin...sin. Looking
for sin..sin
Oh yeah, You're going into the
unknown
Oh yeah, You're going into the
unknown
Darkness we are here tonight to
select who's gonna die
Has everyone arrived?
Darkness open wide and let the
show begin
While we look into the Southern
wind
Oh yeah, You're going into the
unknown
Oh yeah, You're going into the
unknown
SOLO: Shermann
Someone here will not survive the
night that's creeping by
This is your time, not mine, for
another life...
Don't you see...don't you see
You took a chance, now you must
pay, say your last goodbye
This is your time, not mine, for
another life...
Now die, die, die...
It is so much colder in here, hold
on to your soul my dear
It is so much colder in here, hold
on to...Nothing!!!
Who should I let go? Who needs
to know...
SOLO: Shermann
The journey of a lonely soul, now
you're on your own...yeah
The maker's waiting down the road,
the dying has begun
Now my finger points at you
It is time for you to pay what's
due
Now my finger points at you
And you must know...what you never
ever knew
Oh yeah, You're going into the
unknown
Oh yeah, You're going into the
unknown
SOLO: Denner
Now my finger points at you, and
you must know...
What you never ever knew
SOLO: Denner
UNDER THE SPELL
SOLO: Shermann
There is something out there waiting
for me
With an evil glow
There is something out there that
will
Never let me go
Twisting, turning, I'm looking
out for my soul
Twisting, turning, I'm looking
out for my soul
I have seen the Southern witches,
in the church of God
I have seen the Southern witches,
and the Holy Ghost
Dancing, blasphemous, waiting for
HIM to call
Dancing, blasphemous...uniting
them all
SOLO: Denner
And I know this night so well
'cause I have walked from here
to hell
The only thing I can never tell
Is why they put me under the spell
Under the spell...
Was it the deadly moon that gave
me away
On Walpurgis Night
Was it the deadly moon that gave
me away
Or the EVIL eye
Twisting, turning, I'm looking
out for my soul
Twisting, turning, I'm looking
out for my soul
And then HE came at last...
SOLOS: Shermann - Denner
Suddenly the Earth was shaking
And I...I couldn't feel a thing
as I saw HIM...
Standing on the altar..
HE was drinking all the wine
While the Holy Ghost and the Southern
witches...
Were turning every single cross
around...and upside down
I never should have been there
I never should have seen it
I never should have understood
DEADTIME
"Lie down in your dead little baby
You know it's getting late
Listen to this deadtime story
And hold on to your head"
And it's wasy past her deadtime...the
night has just died
Little blood red Riding Hood was
passing through the woods
A basket full of poisoned fruit
She's absolutely way to cute
And it's way past her deadtime...the
night has just died
Good Old Nick is in her blood and
it makes me feel so hot
Devil eyes, that's no surprise,
she's colder than ice
The werewolf is hiding with its
yellow glowing eyes
Drooling for some baby blood, he's
jumping in the night
And he knows where Red is riding
He knows here Grandma well
That big bad werewolf's got it
down, he cannot fail
And it's way past her deadtime...the
night has just died
SOLO: Denner
Grandma's waiting in here dead
for sweetest little Red
When she ate the werewolf's head,
you could not even tell
There is no way out
There is no way out for sweetest
little Riding Hood
'cause Granny won't be full
Until Red is dead and gone...Bye,
bye
SOLO: Shermann
And it's way past her deadtime...the
night has just died
HOLY WATER
I don't want that holy water, it
makes me burn
I don't want that holy water, I
guess I'll never learn
I'd rather drink from the Devil's
well
And then I'll go to hell
I'd rather drink from the Devil's
well
And then I will go straight to
hell, Oh yeah
High on the mountain of Poltersberg
there is a quiet lake
They say it's full of demons, that
Satan keeps them there
Wash away your darkest sins, if
that's what you believe
But keep in mind that if you do,
who is it you deceive?
Cast a stone into this lake and
soon a storm will rise
And suck out all the demons, up
into the sky
Wash away your darkest sins, if
that's what you believe
But keep in mind that if you do,
who is it you deceive?
SOLO: Shermann
Oh holy water...holy water
I don't want that holy water, it
makes me burn
I don't want that holy water, I
guess I'll never learn
I'd rather drink from the Devil's
well
And then I'll go to hell
I'd rather drink from the Devil's
well
And then I will go straight to
hell, Oh yeah
SOLO: Denner
Deep in the vally of Blankenstein
there is a sacred pool
They say that you can drink this
water
It's cleansing of the soul
Wash away your darkest sins, if
that's what you believe
But keep in mind that if you do,
who is it you deceive?
I don't want that holy water, no..no..no..no..no
It makes me burn inside
I don't want that holy water, oh..no..
SOLO: Shermann
KUTULU (The Mad Arab Part two)
Someone better come and save my
life
Someone better kill those evil
eyes
Is it in my mind or are they still
behind
Turning slowly...I see, I see,
I see there's no one there
Someone better tell me what it's
all about
In the dying fire, moonlight has
struck my eye
Feeling colder...I see, I see,
I see the amulet of EVIL
GODS...EVIL GODS
Can you hear the voices in my head...
Can you hear the voices in my head
Can you hear the voices, what they
say?
KUTULU...KUTULU...KUTULU...KUTULU...
Traveling for years in the mountain
side
Traveling for years to believe
in the sign
And I know them well now, all of
the Ancient Ones
Turning slowly...I see, I see,
I see there's no one there
Someone must have broken the holy
seal
'cause I know they're there, just
like that fateful night
Feeling colder...I see, I see,
I see the amulet of EVIL
GODS...EVIL GODS
Can you hear the voices in my head...
Can you hear the voices in my head
Can you hear the voices, what they
say?
KUTULU...KUTULU...KUTULU...KUTULU...
Hear me as KUTULU raises his EVIL
head
Drooling for my soul
I must finish this book tonight
Tomorrow...I might be of the dead
I'm burning up...I'm burning up
I wish for you...the GODS will
be mercyful
Drooling for my soul
I must finish this book tonight
Tomorrow...I might be of the dead
I'm burning up...I'm burning up
I wish for you...the GODS will
be mercyful...

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
Solo: Shermann-Wead
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...

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 tingues in time
Solo: Wead
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
Solo: Shermann
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 ha 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
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"
Solo: Shermann
Many say that it... is a
miracle
Many say ther her... tears can
heal you, but
From so deep inside, I hear
a voice from hell
"I am the lady who cries, I am
he who fights the night"
Solo: Wead
"I'm your eternal friend"
"Let my children come to
me at day
Let my children come to me and
pray"
Solo: Wead
"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..."
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 its haunted tune
Under out window is the Banshee
Waitling its 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 its haunted tune
Under out window is the Banshee
Waitling its 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
Solo: Wead
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?
Solo: Shermann-Wead
Under our window is the Banshee
Wailing its haunted tune
Under out window is the Banshee
Waitling its haunted tune too soon
Let it be me
MANDRAKE
Poisonous Mandrake, you danerous
root
One of the three fates, when a
man's time has come
You look so human, so different
from any other plant
Youlook so human, that the Devil
might take you for a man
White Mandragora, with you
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
Youlook 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?
Solo: Shermann-Wead
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 ears... cause
the cry of the Mandrake root
No man has ever survived, the dog
will surely die
Solo: Wead
Poisonous Mandrake, you dangerous
root
One of the three fates, when a
man's time has come
You look so human, so different
from any other plant
Youlook 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
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 golder 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...sucking you, sucking
your blood
Solo: Shermann
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
our eyes
Maybe the Morning Star will bless
another night
Solo: Shermann-Wead
Maybe the Morning Star will
blind our eyes
Maybe the Morning Star will bless
another night
Me... part of you, you are the
wine
DEAD AGAIN
Why do I keep on doing this? It's
not for me anymore
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,
a lonely son
Up then down, I'm spinning around
My sould is so confused again
Am I floating towards the sun?
Hold on, am I dead on?
Solo: Shermann
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
Solo: Wead
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
Nothingess... 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 the 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 stay here, what's going
on?... hey wait for me
Solo: Shermann-Wead
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 agin, 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...
FEAR
In the mirror... I have seen HIM
And he scares me
The crature... 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 omy 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
Solo: Wead
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 lives so deep within
Tucked away beneath my skin
And it scares me, yes it
scares me
CROSSROADS
You are Selene, the moon in heaven
You are Persephone, Queen of the
Underworld
Hecate... darkness and terror of
the night
Hecase... 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 to the crossroads
Let us ride with a beast tonight,
oh let us ride
Solo: Shermann
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 to 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
Solo: Wead
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 to 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...
