1. 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 your 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.
2. 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 amoung the graves, I heard a cry, my shadow was 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 a corpse in a wedding dress
Small black wings on my naked back
Now hear my prayer, beggin' for mercy, I'm just living to die
Satan has taken his toll
3. Evil
I was born on the cemetery
Under the sign of the moon
Raised from my grave by the dead
I was made a mercenary
In the legions of Hell
Now I'm king of pain, I'm insane
You know my only pleasure
Is to hear you cry
I'd love to hear you cry
I'd love to feel you die
And I'll be the first
To watch your funeral
And I'll be the last to leave
I'd love to hear you cry
And when you're down beyond the ground
I'll dig up your body again
And make love to shame
Oh lady cry, and say goodbye
Oh lady cry, and say goodbye
You've gotta say goodbye
'Cause I will eat your mind
4. Curse of the Pharoahs
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
Makin' it all shady
So 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
5. A Dangerous Meeting
Tonight the circle is meeting again
Who will be the first to fall in trance
In here nobody is sensing the rain
Tonight a spirit will glance
So as they're approaching ghostly hour
Seven people here are joining hands
They think they know the spirit to appear
Contact, the table starts to dance
Time is standing still
It's a dangerous meeting
They're gonna get themselves killed
Solo: Michael Denner
Tonight the circle is broken forever
Seven people dead within a trance
In here nobody is sensing the rain
Tonight seven souls are reaching Hell
Time was standing still
The meeting is over
Their journey is on
Oh, they should have known
Not to play with the powers of Hell
Some people have lost their way
Some people have lost their mind
6. Gypsy
This magic winter night I see a light
Again I hear that tune, some sort of croon
Oh no no no, oh my brain
I see them gypsy wagons left in the snow
Oh I must see that lady, I have to know
Gypsy woman let me inside
Solo: Michael Denner
They say you know the secret, secret of time
So gaze into your crystal and tell me all
you see
Gypsy Woman let me know
"Oh my son you were never gone
You are the Devil's child, and so am I"
Solo: Michael Denner/Hank Shermann
Gypsy now I know you're not my mother
You are a part of my soul, it's clear for all to see
Oh no no no, I am you
Gypsy you're inside of me
7. Come to the Sabbath
Come come to the sabbath
Down by the ruined bridge
Witches and demons are coming
Just follow the magic call
Come come to the sabbath
Down by the ruined bridge
Later on the master will join us
Called from the heart of Hell
At first we light up a fire
And then we hail our Lord
Two candles, a black and a white
Are placed upon the altar
North, south, east and west
And so we clean the air
High priestess invoking the Devil
Infernal names are spoken
Come to the sabbath...sabbath...sabbath...sabbath
Come to the sabbath
The ceremony's proceeding
It's time to grant your wishes
An evil curse on the priest
Who took the life of Melissa
Now we must close up the ritual
Read the Enochian key
And so it will be done
Amen... now come
Come to the sabbath...sabbath...sabbath...sabbath
Come to the sabbath...now here we come
Solo: Hank Shermann
If you say Heaven, I say a castle of lies
You say forgive him, I say revenge
My sweet Satan, you are the one
8. The Candle
From "The Book of Jonah"
"7 Years Have Gone, It Can No Longer Be Left Undone
The Candle Must Be Burn Again, And Pain
Must Follow the Unholy Flame
So Burn...Burn...Burn
And Free the Spirit From Its Chain"
Here I AM Blinded Again By That Flame
In Every Candle That I Burn, Burn !
I See That Same Face Return, It Returns
Eyes In Pain, My Little Queen Are You A Dream
In Every Candle That I Burn, Burn !
I See That Same Face Return, It Returns
Time Has Come For You To Tell The Truth, What Shall I Do
Tears Are Running From Her Eyes
If She Could Only Tell Me Why, Tell Me Why
The Jonah...The Jonah
In Twisted Key She Speaks A Word To Me And Then I See
Her Face Falling Apart
The Word "Jonah" Is Her Mark, She's Branded
9. Charon
Welcome My Friend, My Name Is Charon
Please Take My Hand, I Know The Secret Land
Don't Be Afraid...Oh No
I'm Faceless But Don't Fear Now
I'll Take You Safe Across The River Styx
Waste No Time, Soon The Night Will Break Away
That Boy Can Wait, There's Only Room For One
Don't Be Afraid...Oh No
I'm Faceless But Don't Fear Now
I'll Take You Safe Across The River Styx
I Am Your Death
We Must Leave Now, My Boat Is Waiting
On The Other Shore Is The Land Of The Dead
Don't Be Afraid...Oh No
I'm Faceless But Don't Fear Now
I'll Take You Safe Across The River Styx
10. Halloween
Oh It's Halloween
Every Night To Me Is Halloween
Like An Ancient Scene
You Know Just What I Mean
Halloween You Are My Pride
Halloween Not Just A Dream
The Moon Is Full, Another Perfect Day Has Begun
Like A Demon's Eye, That Devil's Eye
Will We Ever Die
Halloween You Are My Pride
Halloween Not Just A Dream
Every Night Will Be Another Evil Scene
Like In Horror Dreams I Want
I Command You To Scream
Halloween You Are My Pride
Halloween Not Just A Dream
Halloween...Halloween
11. No Presents For Christmas
Christmas time is here again
Santa needs a helping hand
We cannot find his evil sheet
To draw his laying for the night
So all the waiting Christmas trees
Gonna hear their master sing
There's no presents, Not this Christmas
There's no presents
Tom and Jerry drinking Sherry
They don't give a damn
Christmas time is here again
Santa needs a helping hand
It's getting very, very late
St. Peter's crossed the Golden Gate
And Donald Duck is still in bed
I wonder who he's gonna help
There's no presents, Not this Christmas
There's no presents
Tom and Jerry, all done Sherry
They don't give a damn
There's no presents, Not this Christmas
There's no presents
Tom and Jerry, still drinking Sherry
They don't give a damn
I'm dreaming of a white... Sabbath!
12. Arrival
"That must be it!"
Through the summer rain of 1845
The coach had finally arrived.
To the valley where the crossroads meet below,
And where all darkness seems to grow.
People blame it on the Hill....
The hill where no one dares to go....
The Mansion...where no one dares to go.
The coach had stopped, and from the window you could see
Seven horsemen in the night.
Miriam Natias and Jonathan la Fey
Saw the magic in their eyes.
They were in for a surprise....
The darkness would soon be complete.
A horseman came forth from the dark....
"We know you've come to inherit what's yours...The Mansion.
Take our advise and go back on this night.
If you refuse 18 will become 9...Oh No!"
Oh 18 is 9!
Jonathan laughed and said, "Get out of my way.
I don't believe a word you say."
The seven horsemen disappeared into the night.
"Someday you'll need our help, my friend...."
I think poor Jonathan was scared....
18 is actually 9...It stuck in his mind....
13. Abigail
"Abigail! I know you're in control of her brain, Abigail!
And I know that you're the one that's speaking through her,
Abigail!
Miriam, can you hear me??"
"I am alive inside your wife.
Miriam's dead. I am her head...."
"Abigail! Don't you think I know what you've done, Abigail?!
I'll get a priest! He will know how to get her soul back!"
"Oh, Jonathan! This is Miriam!
Our time is out!
Remember the stairs! It's the only way!"
"Abigail! Nothing I can do but give in, Abigail...."
"Jonathan, I agree.... Yes I do...."
"I am alive inside your wife.
Miriam's dead. I am her head....
Soon I'll be free!!!"
14. Welcome Home
Grandma' welcome home... You have
been gone for far too long
Is this a dream, are You really back?
Let me help You out of the chair...
Grandma'
Let me touch You, let me feel... Ahhh
Grandma' take a look
What do You think of the house and
the silvery moon?
We are going to repaint the front door
soon
Let me help You out of the chair...
Grandma'
Let me touch You, let me feel... Ahhh
Wait till You see Your room up in the
attic
Prepared just like You said, without a
bed
You will find Your rocking chair and
the tea pot that Missy found
Let me help You out of the chair...
Grandma'
There is someone waiting for You,
now come along
Missy and Mother, they are dying to
meet You
How strange... she's spoken no word...
I wonder Grandma'! Are You all right?
Grandma' what was it like to be on
that holiday site
"Oh it could have been worse but
with "THEM" by my side
In the twilight "THEY" sang all the old
lullabies"
Grandma' who are "THEY"... "never
mind You dirty little brat"
"Let us go inside, something's on
"THEIR" mind
"THEY" are still alive, can You feel
"THEIR" eyes
Can You feel "THEIR" eyes?
Now that You are stuck with me You
better be my friend.
15. Sleepless Nights
I cannot sleep at night
That's what the day is for anyway
And as the clock strikes midnight
I hear "THEM" dancing at the graves
singing to My mind
killing the pain . . . sleepless nights . . . sleepless nights
I cannot sleep at night
That's what the day is for anyway
And as the clock strikes midnight
only "THEY" can let us meet
even though she's dead now
I gotta see her again . . . sleepless nights . . . sleepless nights
I cannot sleep at night
I will do anything to see Missy again
"Then let us make You an eternal deal
You will attend to the graves
You'll give us the house back and keep in mind
that we only come here at night".
So we made the deal under the starry night and
"AMON" belongs to "THEM" now . . .
I feel the dawn coming My way
And as the sun breaks up the dark
I can't hear "THEM" dance no more
There's no voices
killing the pain . . . pain . . . pain
16. Eye of the Witch
It's so cold inside on this summer's night
Black clouds in the sky dancing before my eyes
I'm losing track of time
It's the eye of the witch
It's the eye of the witch
Thunder bring the rain, penetrate my brain
I am no more the same, that special night has come again
Losing track of time
It's the eye of the witch
The eye.. the eye.. the eye
Another glass of wine to heat the blood of mine
And as I look inside the necklace called "The Eye"
I'm going back in time
It's the eye of the witch
It's the eye of the witch
The eye.. the eye.. the eye
