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 out rightful due
And trespass not on the path of he
Lead us into temptation
And deliever us from false deity
For thine is the kingdom
And the power
And the glory
Forever
Shemhamforash!
There's a little old man...standing by my window
There's a little old man...hiding in the shadows
The uninvited guest, could have never been a friend
The uninvited 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 uninvited guest, could have never been a friend
The uninvited guest, he would never come back again
Come inside...and stay a little while
Come inside 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."
There's a little old man...standing by my window
There's a little old man...hiding in the shadows
The uninvited guest, could have never been a friend
The uninvited 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 uninvited guest, could have never been a friend
The uninvited guest, he would never come back again
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 he'd been dead a year
The uninvited...
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
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
You are the ghost of change, and now we meet again
You are the ghost of change, but I will always be the same
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 Devil's cry
Why? Why? Why? Listen to the Bell
Why? Why? Why?
Listen to the bell and it just might tell you why
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 Devil's cry
Why? Why? Do the Devil's Cry?
Why? Why? Why? Do the Devil's Cry?
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? Do the Devil's Cry?
Why? Why? Do the Devil's Cry?
1640. The Caribbean Sea
The wind was just a breeze
Heading for the 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 headed straight for the reefs
Just...after midnight, they were caught by the storm
1640. The Caribbean Sea, the wind was not just a breeze
The captian 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 captian 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 captian stuck in The "Unicorn"
Oh yeah...A ghost that never dies
It's a warning, a storm is coming
Yeah, you better look out
Darkness we are here tonight
To select who's gonna die
Has everyone arrived?
Darkness open wide and let the light 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
Someone here will not survive
The night that's creeping by
This is your time, not mine, for another life...
Don'y 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...
The journey of a lonely soul
Now you're on your own...yeah
The maker's waiting down the road
The dying had begun
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
Now my finger points at you, and you must know
What you never ever knew
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
And I know this night so well
'Cause I haved walk 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 the HE came at last
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
"Lie down in your dead little baby
You know it's getting late
Listen to this deadtime story
And hold onto your head."
And it's way past her deadtime
The night had just died
Little blood Red Riding Hood
Was passing through the woods
A basket full of poisioned fruit
She's absolutely way too cute
And it's way past her deadtime
The night had just died
Good Old Nick is in her blood
And it makes me feel so hot
Devil eye's, that no suprise
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
And he knows her Grandmother well
That big bad werewolf's got it down
He cannot fail
And it's way past her deadtime
The night had just died
Grandma's waiting in her 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
And it's way past her deadtime
The night had just died
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 straight to Hell
I'd rather drink from the Devil's well
And then I'll 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 kees them there
Wash away your darkest sins, if that's what you believe
But keep in mind that if you do, who is it that you deceive?
Cast a stone into this lake and soon a storm will rise
And suck out all the demons 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 that you deceive?
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 straight to Hell
I'd rather drink from the Devil's well
And then I'll go straight to Hell...oh yeah
Deep in the valley of Blankenstein, there is a sacred pool
They say 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 that 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...
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 this is all about
In the dying fire, moonlight has struk 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 now I know them well now, 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 faithul 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?
Hear me as KUTULU raise 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 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 be mercyful
