1. The Gates of Hell
2. Headless Cross
Look through the people, and on through the mist
to the hill of the headless cross
Where all witches meet, on a night such as this
and the power of darkness is host
They come face to face, eye to eye, soul to soul
with and Angel that fell from the sky
Borne on the air, the screams and the wails
of the masses appointed to die
Listen for the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder
Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture
At the Headless Cross, at the Headless Cross
From the first evil night, when a black flash of light
cut the crucifix half to the ground
There's been no escape from the power of Satan
on a nation so brave and so proud
Listen for the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder
Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture
At the Headless Cross, at the Headless Cross
How do you feel, when the locks refuse the key
and the master is calling your name
Does the luck of the charm, really keep you from harm?
does the talisman protect you from pain?
Listen for the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder
Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture
At the Headless Cross, at the Headless Cross
From the first evil night, when a black flash of light
cut the crucifix half to the ground
There's no escaping the power of Satan
on a nation so brave and so proud
Listen for the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder
Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture, oh no, oh
At the Headless Cross, at the Headless Cross
At the Headless Cross, oh, at the Headless Cross
Where will you run to?
At the Headless Cross
Look, to the Headless Cross
3. Devil & Daughter
Silence is mocking the dawn of a new day
Devil and Daughter are both on their way
The evil of her nature collects in her eyes
With him there's no fear of the dawn bringing light
Baptised with fire, too wild to be tamed
She's hot, evil and ready to take any man
Let no one put assunder the power of the pain
He is the master of hell riding again
Devil and Daughter - pleasure and pain
Devil and Daughter - is this the end
A thousand times over, you'll hear on the wind
in the name of hell, these sinners never sinned
But Satan never listens to the words that they send
Drenching the soul with blood, when will it end
Devil and Daughter
he's got the power, she's got the pain
Devil and Daughter
She'll break any woman and take any man
Devil and Daughter
Hand in hand with the reaper
4. When Death Calls
He saw the world, dim with the glow of the vertical sun
His skin crept cold knowing that this was the hours of dying
Misguided mortals, you'll burn with me
Spirit of man, cannot be freed.
When Death Calls - This is the hours of dying
When Death Calls - The spirit of man cannot be freed
When Death Calls - There's no tomorrow
When Death Calls - Just an evil shadow
Tell me not fear of the flames means that heaven is closer
For I believe Satan lives, in the souls of the dying
Misguided mortals, you'll burn with me
Spirit of man, cannot be freed.
When Death Calls - Heaven is closer
When Death Calls - Feel the heat of the flames from the souls of the dying
When Death Calls - here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
When Death Calls - You're gonna burn
Don't look in those sunken eyes
Don't look and you'll stay alive
Don't laugh at the face of death or your toungue will blister
Can't die until Satan says you die
And Satan takes your soul
In the face of death or your toungue will blister
Don't look in those sunken eyes
Don't look and you'll stay alive
Don't laugh at the face of death or your toungue will blister
Can't die until Satan says you die
The Devil takes your soul
With all his wrath he calls the reaper
When Death Calls - This is the hours of dying
When Death Calls - The spirit of man cannot be freed
When Death Calls - There's no tomorrow
When Death Calls - Just an evil shadow
When Death Calls - Feel the heat of the flames from the souls of the dying
When Death Calls - You're gonna burn, burn, burn
When Death Calls - Heaven is closer
When Death Calls - I can feel it, gonna take you down
5. Kill in the Spirit World
There's something wrong there's a chill in the air
and the blood in my vein's running colder
The eastern sky is beginning to silver
and the words that you speak start to falter
The seal is broken, the oath has been crossed
In the house of the dead there's a taker
Some say that this is the ultimate sin
When the spirit world turns to the alter
There's been a kill in the spirit world
There's been a kill in the spirit world
Behold the dead clutching at fading hands, out of reach forever
"In glory die" calls the voice of the void
Your assassin has cursed every spectre
The seal is broken, the oath has been crossed
and the house of the dead seeks a master
Stretching every muscle, I wait for the end
and a kiss on the wind whispers murder, Murder
There's been a kill in the spirit world
There's been a kill in the spirit world
When heaven is closer, it's pleasure and pain
Kill in the spirit world
Did you see another in black
is the blood in your veins running colder
If you did then there's no turning back
As the spirit world turns to the alter
The seal is broken, the oath has been crossed
and the house of the dead seeks the master
Stretching every muscle, I wait for the end
and a kiss on the wind whispers murder, Murder
There's been a kill in the spirit world
There's been a kill in the spirit world
Oh here it comes, oh no
The seal is broken, The eastern sky is beginning to silver
There's something wrong, there's a chill in the air
I feel the evil, I feel the evil
Somebody whispers murder
A kiss on the wind whispers murder
6. Call of the Wild
In this last and final hour, you can't hide
There's nowhere now that you can run
All eyes are on you, like a lost Eternal Light
Princes and Kings, Demons with wings
Summon your fears from hell
It's the call of the wild Calling you
In this last macabre hour, witches cry
and turn to dust before the moon
Many spirits are lost forever, but one survives
To call the tune of lucifer
It's the call of the wild Calling you
Hero, only in the grave are there no dreams
Hero, don't beleive in fate, it ain't what it seems
All you gotta do now is stay free
You're the one they turn to when hell screams
Fear of the devil has no place among the brave
Faced with pain, there's a battle to be won
All eyes are on you, like a lost Eternal Light
Princes and Kings, Demons with wings
Summon your fears from hell
It's the call of the wild Calling you
Hero, only in the grave are there no dreams
Hero, don't beleive in fate, it ain't what it seems
Hero, only in the grave are there no dreams
Hero, don't beleive in fate, it ain't what it seems
Hero, you got the fear of the devil burning your soul
Hero, It's the call of the wild
Hero, Tearing your soul
7. Black Moon
Oh the devil is rising with the moon
He cries and my blood runs cold.
Oh no never was the darkness so black,
No light and nowhere to go.
My spirit is crying for a love
So tired of being alone.
I remember He came here to steal,
and You are His stealer of souls.
I see a Black Moon rising,
and it's calling out my name.
Oh it's calling my name.
I've been blinded, lost and confused,
darkness will call me no more.
Heaven is no friend of mine,
no god ever knocked on my door.
I see a Black Moon rising,
and it's calling out my name.
Oh it's calling my name.
I'm standing on the dark side of time
Reaching for the power of Her hand.
She's weaving an unholy light
And calls from Lucifer's land.
I see a Black Moon rising,
and it's calling out my name.
An angel of Hell is rising,
heaven's no friend of mine.
I see a Black Moon rising,
and it's calling out my name,
I see a Black Moon rising,
and it causes so much pain.
An angel of Hell is rising,
heaven's no friend of mine.
I see a Black Moon rising,
and it's calling out my name.
It's calling my name,
this spirit's crying for love.
Heaven's no friend of mine.
8. Nightwing
Nightwing has stirred, and taken to flight
The silence is over, he's shattered the night
No other hunter has the power or the grace
He is the master of this place
Tell every creature of the night
The kill is around the bend
So listen my friend
Nightwing flies again
They say he comes for those whose souls are weak
and call his name upon the wind
The night is cold and thick with mystery
Oh I can feel his beating wings
Tell every creature of the night
The kill is around the bend
Nightwing flies again
Tell every creature of the night
The kill is around the bend
Nightwing flies again
Nightwing has stirred, and taken to flight
The silence is over, he's shattered the night
Life ain't for giving and forgiving ain't free
No soul will rest while the hunted run free
So tell every creature of the night
The kill is around the bend
listen my friend
Nightwing flies again
