1. Well Of Souls
Madmen know whereof the story is told
Children see what can't be seen by the old
Take my hand I'll show
Here comes the night and the light of the day
Long gone the shaman of old
Listen to silence and hear what it says
Down in the well of souls
Whispers call to us in the night
Listen with your heart and see with your mind
Take my hand and fly
Here comes the night and the light of the day
Long gone the shaman of old
Listen to silence and hear what it says
Down in the well of souls
Here in the well they can take you to hell
Down in the world far below
Or raise you to heaven where you can tell
You passed through the well of souls
2. Six Feet Under
Feeding off the old lies of the new world
Casting off and spinning in a rage
Teeth bared for biting as the spring winds
Claw, crash and rattle in the cage
Down, down, down
You'll be six feet under
Kick and scream as worms feed on your brain
Living off the misery and pain
Down, down, down
You'll be six feet under
3. Big Daddy
To the crack of bone, the whip of spine
I built my throne to drink my wine
From the skulls of enemies, their eyes stud my crown
The brave live in fear of me
Fools lie underground!
Come wrap yourself around big daddy
Or take a long nap underground
I take delight in my dark abode
With skin so white
Your blood runs cold into the chalice
Your sacrifice, my gain
You came called to me by the sibilance in your brain!
Come wrap yourself around big daddy
Come to me and lie face down
Indide out and upside down
Keep your head spinning 'round
I lick your lips
Surreal, obscene
The grinds, the slips
Now head down, lean
Tongue tied and twisted you know you'll come around
Admit you really missed it
Now scream, I love that sound
Come wrap yourself around big daddy
Come to me and lie face down
Indide out and upside down
Keep your head spinning 'round
4. Cyberchrist
Blinded, crucified, left out here for dead
Rising rectified
The circuits glowing red
Sanctus, sanctus
Dieu mundi
Vox exterminans we call for you
Kneel and pray
Don't pass this way
Cyberchrist draws near
Kneel and pray
Don't pass this way
Cyberchrist is here
I, god I machine
Unbroken on the wheel
Metal messiah
The undestroyed, now kneel!
Sanctus, sanctus
Dieu mundi
Sanctus, sanctus
Carpe noctem
Vox exterminans we call on you
Kneel and pray
Don't pass this way
Cyberchrist draws near
Kneel and pray
Don't pass this way
Cyberchrist is here
Cyberchrist, cyberchrist
5. Graveyard Shift
I can see by the look in your eyes
You don't believe in me
But revealed just before you die
Trust in what you see
Feel that you're paralyzed as you drain to white
It's been there all this time, that dark place in your mind
Graveyard shift by the light of the moon
I am here behind your closet door
You dare not speak my name
Don't close your eyes, it won't work anymore
It's always been the same
Feel that you're paralyzed as you drain to white
It's been there all this time, that dark place in your mind
Graveyard shift by the light of the moon
6. Psycho Zoo
I saw the stars fall from the sky
Crashing all around
Feel the flame steal my eyes
Vaporize the ground
Red lines flashing
World is crashing
Red alert, red alert, code psycho zoo !
Thunder roars across the sea
A child cries alone
On a crumbled street with glass in his feet
He dies with shattered bones
Red lines flashing
God, we're crashing
Red alert, red alert, code psycho zoo !
Storm clouds gather, nothing matters now
The drums all stop, the flags all burn
In a silent night
The smoke filled air swirls and turns
No "Into glory, ride!"
Redrum, redrum
In the asylum
Red alert, red alert, code psycho zoo !
7. Queen Of The Damned
Catch the twist
Severed wrist
Ride the crimson tide
Strike the chime
Sing the rhyme
Dead men never lie
Kingdoms rise, fall
She stands like stone
Hail, all hail, the queen of the damned
Cast to crime
The coffered dime
The jester on the throne
Tip the crown
Feel you drown
Crucify your own
Restless apparition
Eyes that never slept
A long held lost tradition
Those who once were kept
Kingdoms rise, fall
She stands like stone
Hail, all hail, the queen of the damned
Burn and crisp
Cry and twist
Telekinetic char
Crack the bone
Touch the stone
The queen of styggia
8. Blind Man's Sight
Voodoo child says, "the answer lies with the dead
The blind will lead the blind
And night will give the blind man sight"
Wolves cry to the moon to align with tulum
The crossroad-the devil's door
Drawing near the midnight hour
The bones are rolled to tell the tale
To cast aside the night
They come to rest in this omened place
To give the blind man's sight
No star, no light
No lore, this night
The mountains of the moon
Craggy heights from which to swoon
Hand held eye can see the glory hour drawing near
The bones are rolled to tell the tale
To cast aside the night
They come to rest in this omened place
To give the blind man's sight
No star, no light
No lore, this night
9. Alive And Well
Evil mischievers, purveyors of sin
Metal messiahs damned to the end
Vampiric prelates, cardinals of cain
Bones in your closet, your pestilent kin
We writhe as we rock as we spin as we roll
By the light of the moon we lose all control
Alive and well and wicked as sin
Caustic and christless, best at their worst
The new unreligion, the electric church
Merchants of madness, plague dealers of old
Gangrenous, godless... the wolf in the fold
We writhe as we rock as we spin as we roll
By the light of the moon we lose all control
Alive and well and wicked as sin
We are the nightbreed revelling in pain
Tortured and tangled, still I remain!!!
We writhe as we rock as we spin as we roll
By the light of the moon we lose all control
Alive and well and wicked as sin!!!
10. Preying With The Mantis
Plumes of smoke are rising from the city streets below
Stainless steel and candle wax cast a sickly glow
Let us prey
Death will stalk the streets tonight in leather faded grey
The echoed screams of agony ring in the canyon's break
Each and every night he pulls the sword out of the stone
Preying with the mantis
Surgical precision but the work is never done
So much sin and so much pain
Rise with the setting sun
Through darkened panes the silent eyes watch the canyon floor
The hunter now the hunted when death slips out the door
Each and every night he pulls the sword out of the stone
Preying with the mantis
Through the damp and silent streets past pyramids of light
Keeping to the shadows
A creature of the night
The crush of flesh, caress of steel, the sound of breaking bone
As night fades into nothing the mantis stands alone
Each and every night he pulls the sword out of the stone
Preying with the mantis
11. Last Man Standing
Ruler of ruins, lord of the waste
The silent warrior falls
Leprous and rotted, liege of the dead
King of these crumbled walls
The last man standing
Crowned lord of the dead
Scabrous battalions climb from the pit
The slaughtered rise again
Fortress no refuge
In bitter times
Worms twist in your head
The last man standing
Is crowned lord of the dead
12. Say Your Prayers
As the night creeps up the stairs
Don't forget to say your prayers
All day long you didn't care, now say your prayers
Good night !
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
There's something there just out of sight
Say your prayers
You never feared death in the light
You only dwelt on it come night
Now your life wans in full sun
Say your prayers
What lurks in the shadows
Under eaves, below stairs
Just waiting for the night to fall !
They reach out from below the stairs
So don't forget to say your prayers
All day long you didn't care
Now say your prayers
