2. Innocent Sinner
Under the sign of Christ we met
At the entrance of God´s house
My eyes clasped hers, and she jusr gave in
Desire in my mind
I crave her body to posses
I crave her soul
See me now with lustfull thoughts
Redemption come to me
She is leading me into temptation
Innocent sinner, victim of lust
Is this angles´ or demon´s work
Guiding me towards sin
What has she done to me,
always feared God
I´d swear I saw her in black magic
Was it real or illusion?
No follower of Christ can be obsessed
with a dirty bitch like that
Wicked girl behold, stay awar from me!
Innocent sinner, victim of lust
Ministers are willing to learn
´bout women that haunt honest men
"At night she comes won´t leave me alone,
she is wicked and must burn…"
I knew while her tears fell to fire
That this was the wish of God
Flames of hell will clean her soul
and bring her peace again
3. Sed Diabolus
Only the devil laughed in scorn of honor
In his envy he left
no work of God untouched
Then you cry out with a clear voice
This way lifting humanity
from this wicked fall
Since his wicked fall all the unhappy ones
blushed before their offspring
ashamed of their exile
Then you cry out with a clear voice
This way lifting humanity
from this wicked fall...everywhere
Sed diabolus istud irrisist in invidia sua
intactum dionsit qua nullum opus Dei
Don´t believe in all the things you´ve see
Grey sky is full of crimson crosses
falling everywhere, everywhere…
The stone of wisdom
gives me a clear mind
The pain of sin will be cured, and end…
4. Pagan Rites
Temple with no walls
Stone altar of sacrifice
I call the powers
From the Dragon´s breath
The Earthforces are rising…
Let´s fall in trance
In pleasure we´ll face the death
Rebirth of Fire
Pagan Rites
Let´s forget good and evil…
Now starts the reign
Of pleasures of the flesh
Ancient rituals of spring
No church ever killed
Our feast of blood
Shall cross the boundaries of will
Give yourself to the Gods
of days long past
They whisper in darkness
On the night of Beltaine
Give in to the pulsing flames of lust
As voices chant with devotion
All around, all around
I loose myself…
The Goddess welcomes the Horned One
Priest and priestess unite
Tonight, Light the flame of Tara
I will bathe in the blood of sacrifice
Feel the pounding inside
Tonight, Swallowed by the tides
5. Steel Vengeance
(Instrumental/No Lyrics)
6. Fate Was Sealed
Across the river lies the land of the dead
A royal burial place opened by mortals
As we neared the end of the world
I could hear the gods call
Amenofis´daughter
Fate was sealed
make my embalmed body be reborn
make my blind dead eyes shine
Fate was sealed
You will never leave again the cold
So Titanic´s your tomb
Daughter of Amenofis
wake up and destroy
all who dares to disturb
your eternal sleep
And the gods are shouting
it was written on your tomb
long ago that you must destroy
There will be no heaven or no hell to them
all who dares to disturb the silence
Spit on their jewels, joy and earthly power
Tumble them in a flood of ice
Laugh at their faces drowning in the sea
Your sacred tomb no human hand can touch
Fate was sealed
The curse of the princess you will know
Power outlives her life
Fate was sealed
You will never leave again the cold
So Titanic´s your tomb
7. Torturer
Now I`m going to play
with the strings of your pain
So don`t hide your tears from me
High pitch screams give me delight
Bring shine of lust into my eyes
I will tear your soul apart
while I cut out your flesh
Please stop begging for mercy
Knives draw down a pentagram
I`ll make you burn in my flames
Black candles call out for more blood
I know that you can resist more
Look at me with your eyes in my hand
Don´t think it´s any use to kiss your sacred cross now
Pain, Is all I ever wanted
Blood, lust, Is all I ever need
Pain, I am the torturer
Knowing good and evil
But just don´t give a damn
´Cause I do just what I please
Your bloody skin makes me laugh
please stop your pityful screams
Suffering purifies your soul
I know that you can resist more
Don´t wait for divine justice to come
Don´t think it´s any use to kiss your sacred cross now
8. The Ancient Light
Master of life and death
Forever the doors of your black magic will open
Shining stars beneath your cape
And your sacred presence hits the heavens
Babylon, glowing city of power
You`re the high priestess of Hell
Nothing can conquer you
Not even the sands of time
Enslaved to your light
Brother of the Dark
Page of power
Evil`s child
Enslaved by your light
Brother of the Dark
Mistress of indulgence
Your reign hails Satan... our lord
Black goat of the infinite woods
You gave birth to a thousand souls
Mist covering your might
That free our pagan fears forever
In your domain shines ancient light
Let me drink your blood
Hear Marduk´s whisper in your ear
Hear my prayer Shubb-niggurath
Let me drink your blood
Hear Marduk´s whisper in your ear
City of power you are the one
9. Into the Labyrinth
Theseus wore arms worthy of a god
To kill the son of the queen and the beast
In oblivion locked up by Minos
A human body ruled by a white bull´s head
Seven youths and seven maidens gone away
Sail the ship to sacrifice
Seven youths and seven maidens dressed in gray
Won´t escape from the labyrinth
His spirit gets lost inside the labyrinth
Behind every corner awaits another hell
His heart is brave but young
An easy prey to confusion
Seven youths and seven maidens gone away
Sail the ship to sacrifice
Seven youths and seven maidens all in pain
Won´t escape from the labyrinth
Two sisters wait for you, Theseus
Choose Ariadne, she mirrors your soul
Don´t fall for Phaedra´s acid charms
Don´t fight Minotaur with no sword
Force killed by force, not by fate
Fallen heroe, hoist a black sail
Your name heavens won´t glorify
Only mortals will praise your deeds
Seven youths and seven maidens gone away
Sail the ship to sacrifice
Seven youths and seven maidens dressed in pain
Won´t escape from the labyrinth
10. Mayday's Eve
Broomsticks hurry to Brocken
Under the moon of Mayday´s Eve
Witches shriek and laugh in the sky
´Cause it´s the night of Walpurgis
Kiss the Devil under his tail
Witch and demon celebrating
Just greed and lust in bloodshot eyes
Only evil is to be seen
Sisters, join the feast ´till dawn comes
Magic spells have made them wicked
And now malice runs through their blood
Stolen babies they sacrifice
To Beelzebub and Astaroth
On this Sabath all dark creatures
Praise the master who rules their soul
Just greed and lust in bloodshot eyes
Only evil is to be seen
Sisters, join the feast ´till dawn comes
Frantic bodies are dancing naked
Candles blow out
As storms are raising
The winds of heaven turn up the fire
Ghoulish rituals they perform unseen
11. Bats in the Bellfry
A restless spirit, deprived too young of life´s sweet joys
The day they hang me I still curse
No cemetery pyre will make me decompose
Now at nightfall I start to roam
A maiden´s neck
White and tender
I long to find
Fast wings, eager fangs
Like a bat I hunt
Garlic nor crosses will stop an undead villain
As you may always have believed
Only rays of sun can scare me into my old grave
To sleep concealed in earth of home
Nothing´s hard ´cause
Ladies do like
Being sucked
Fast wings, eager fangs
Like a bat I hunt
Blood, steal from innocent virgins
Red, drops tickle in my tongue and throat
Screams, rebounce as I hasten away
Night, will eternally hide my sins
12. Holy Fire
Oaken doors silence cries of mercy
At the inquisitor´s fiendlishness
Souls now broken lie in his clutch
The state of grace no longer lasts
All who denies the truth revealed
Whether he be king or commoner
Is robbed of wealth, sanity and life
While angels guard these pious duties
chorus
Red rivers flow out of sinful bodies
Senescent is the heretic´s strenght
Celestial whips shall purgate all disbelieve
The Inquisition, with God, reigns
solo
chorus
Burned in sacred ceremony ´cause
They could not see the living light
Holyness has made them martyrs
Beneath the Bergamot they lie
13. The Dreamquest of the Unknown Avalon
Eyes of doves have seen the enemy´s face
Hawks prepare for the defence
´Cause a new God is destroying the old isle of Avalon
Lord Guigomar´s knights must slay Him now
Otherwise the Dragon dies
Without his breath the mists shall take the island into oblivion
chorus
Valiant and brave
On horses proud
Fierce riders are eager to fight
Gleaming helmets
Shield and strong lance
No cavalier ever surrends
Lands glide on under the palfrey´s swift pace
Grey clouds are cov´ring the sky
All knights listen to catch the sound of horn or baying of hound
Anger grows as they near the place yonder
Where villainy has no equal
Whence came red and black flames to lick at the sacred mother´s earth
chorus
Pledged an holy oath to Merlin and Priestess
Thou may be sure without fail
That we shall fight untill defeat or victory
Fate give us an honorful death
solo
Lightning of silver, the black sky explodes
A roar rises from the fight
Cavaliers draw their swords
from the scabbards while the horses sweat and foam
No knight of Avalon scares from battle
Blood slakes the thirst of their swords
The Dragon survives as long as they have
the strenght to rise after fall
chorus
