9. You Asked for It
1. Burning the Cross
Riding out and summed up for they know no destination
Demons and witches are leading their processions
Breaking religion by burning the cross
Breaking religion, burning the cross
Traveling in darkness, afraid of recognition
Evil ambitions, they’re planning the destruction
Breaking religion by burning the cross
Breaking religion, burning the cross
Oh you gotta see them riding through the darkness and stay in the night
Unholy light
You gotta see them riding through the darkness and stay in the night
Unholy light
You gotta see them riding through the darkness and stay in the night
Yeah
Riding out and summed up for they know no destination
Demons and witches are leading their processions
Breaking religion by burning the cross
Breaking religion, burning the cross
Traveling in darkness, afraid of recognition
Evil ambitions, they’re planning the destruction
Breaking religion by burning the cross
Breaking religion, burning the cross
Oh yeah they’re burning the cross X2
Hear what they say, ‘cause they do not go home. X2
Oh you gotta see them riding through the darkness and stay in the night
Unholy light
You gotta see them riding through the darkness and stay in the night
Unholy light
You gotta see them riding through the darkness and stay in the night
Yeah
Doomsday reflections
Above the clouds high in the sky
Doomsday infections
In their heads and in their minds
Doomsday reflections
Above the clouds high in the sky
Doomsday infections
In their heads and in their minds
You’ll be burning the cross
2. Curse of the Pharaohs
Way 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 breaking’ the seals and disturbing the peace
Then you’re starting’ up a curse
Bringing evil disease
Don’t touch, never ever steal Unless you’re in for the kill
Or you’ll be hit by curse of the pharaohs
Yes you’ll be hit and the curse is on you
I’ll be your pharaoh
The curse of the pharaohs can be so deadly
Or just destroying your future
Making 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
3. Return of the Vampire
A suicide
The birth of a vampire
Fresh in his lair
Spreading the veil
He’ll spread his wings
Leaving at sunset
Fly high and low
Back before sun’s glow
Return of the vampire
Leaving his liar
Sucking your blood through your veins
Return of the vampire
Leaving his liar
Sucking your blood through your veins
There’s only one way you can stop him
You gotta trace the vampire to his liar, oh yeah
And then you gotta drive the stake
Right through the heart of the living dead, oh yeah
Oh I can feel you living again
Vampire I’m losing control
Vampire just give me your cloak
Vampire I’m losing control
Vampire just give me your cloak
4. On a Night of Full Moon
Stay away
I am evil
Or you will die by tomorrow
Copulation with the body of a woman recently dead
My ceremonies with all the corpses
Finding some is where I find the ghosts in
It’s desecration of souls in their holy lair
Magic circles drawn after midnight
Around graves to be opened
I use a wand and bodies rise
I ask the questions and I burn the remains
It’s desecration of souls in their holy lair
On this sacrifice I’ve been searching on the night of full moon
Copulation with the body of a woman recently dead
My ceremonies with all the corpses
Finding some is where I find the ghosts in
It’s desecration of souls in their holy lair
Oh this sacrifice I’ve been searching on the night of full moon
It’s desecration of souls
5. 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 taken his toll
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
I was walking down among the graves
I heard a cry, my shadow is gone
Emptiness in my body, life in the cold
Small black wings on my naked back
Now guess what I saw on one of those 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, begging for mercy
I’m just living to die
I was walking down among the graves
I heard a cry my shadow is gone
Emptiness in my body, life in the cold
Small black wings on my naked back
Now guess what I saw on one of those 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
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
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
6. Death Kiss
Dark lady coming out at night
Still glory
Then those legs on fire
She’s going to take away your life
And there’s a mass beyond the killing fields
A shock
Bells ringing from the city tower
It’s a warning
People running
Girl haunted
Death kiss walking down the long road
And now she’s big enough
The world is gonna die
The time it slips away
You can’t stop oh no
She may give us death kiss
She may give us a kiss
Everything is turned upside down
There’s a child there divine
Dark lady taking care again, yeah
Now she’s walking back to hell with just her hands
The time it slips away
You can’t stop oh no
It’s death kiss
Ah a little child
Ah she’s gonna die
The child has lost its way
The child is dead
Oh oh oh she’s dead
7. Leave My Soul Alone
Oh, yeah oh yeah
Now hear my song
Sirens calling, people leaving the streets
The cops are coming, I don’t know what I did
Why don’t you get away, leaving my soul alone. Maybe another day, you get a reason too X2
Oh, yeah oh yeah
Oh hear me now
I’m running free, they won’t get me alive
No one can see, I did it to survive
Why don’t you get away, leaving my soul alone. Maybe another day you get a reason too X2
Oh yeah oh yeah
Oh hear me now
This is what I did
I killed a friend, for making love to my girl
This is the end, a bullet from my gun
Why don’t you get away leaving my soul alone. Maybe another day you get a reason too X2
I killed for love
Kill
8. M.D.A. (Mission: Destroy Aliens)
My fate is clear, my eyes so red
Another crazy night
The lights are on, The music's loud
The feeling feels so right
Mission: Destroy Aliens
Mission: Destroy Aliens
Mission: Destroy Aliens
Mission: Destroy
Someone wishes, dare to learn
And doesn’t stand a chance
This match is deadly, the king has spoke
To be under the trance
Mission: Destroy Aliens
Mission: Destroy Aliens
Mission: Destroy Aliens
Mission: Destroy
My fate is clear my eyes so red
Another crazy night
The lights are on the music’s loud
The feeling feels so right
Later on, the candles burning
Take away their breath
You can't resist my evil touch
Nature fights their day
Mission: Destroy Aliens
Mission: Destroy Aliens
Mission: Destroy Aliens
Mission: Destroy
9. You Asked for It
Oh, I’ll tell you everything I do
We’re going to talk to the moon
You’ve said enough, too easily gave up
I’ll smash you, you’ll look like a stranger
You’re young and scared
No one hears, no one cares
Shut up with your gun
It’s time to surrender
You still will be burned
You’re sick and tender
You asked for it, every time in prayer
I’ll smash you, you’ll look just like a stranger
Oh how I’d love to be young and scared
No one hears, no one gives A damn
Oh you asked for it, you won’t get no mercy X3
Oh little girl you’re paying for it now
Your eyes are about to gouged out
Oh little girl you’re about to be burned
Oh little girl come and meet the devil
Oh I’ll tell you everything I do
We’re going to talk at the moon
You asked for it, every time in prayer
I’ll smash you, you’ll look just like a stranger
No one hears no one gives a damn
Oh you asked for it, you won’t get no mercy (X3)
Oh no
