1. Saint Vitus
Saint Vitus was a young lad
No one knows how old
'till the kingdom took his life
for the things he told
The world is full of wickedness
So Vitus says
"If you believe in god above,
you will all be saved"
Lust can breed corruption
So wash it from your life
Don't believe in the government
Let your soul decide
And so the king grew angry
He saw his end in sight.
Young Vitus must be stopped
The little child must die
Saint Vitus � hear his distant scream
Saint Vitus � died for his belief
So if you're breeding wickedness
Keep this in mind
Vitus' soul is watching you
Through the veils of time
Well, people always stay the game
They never seem to learn
'till they all have lost their faith
and their souls have burned
2. White Magic / Black Magic
I believe in miracles
I don't believe in sin
I believe in wizardry
I don't believe in trends
White magic / Black magic
Which am I to choose?
I believe that is up to me
I don't believe in you
I believe in fairy tales
I don't believe in lies
I believe in innocence
I don't believe your eyes
White magic / Black magic
What am I to do?
Charmes and curses screaming from
Me each one aimed at you
I believe in second chances
I don't believe in firsts
I believe that it's getting harder
I don't believe in worse
White magic / Black magic
Both become my tools
Pressure rising, perish now
You optimistic fool
3. Zombie Hunger
I creep by moonlight
I hide when the sun starts to rise
I sleep with the dead things
I have holes instead of eyes
I have no heartbeat
No blood rushing through my veins
No nervous system
No impulses feeding my brain
I have no feelings
No remorse for stealing your child
You shouldn't have let her
Go wandering out in the wild
You've heard the legends
You know that I live out there
But in this modern world
It's foolish to believe in such a scare
I'm a zombie � my skin is now peeling away
I'm a zombie � my insides have died�
And turned grey
I'm lasting no shadows
And making no sounds you can hear
Fumbling through darkness
Your sweat's running cold from the fear
Searching my kingdom
No sign of your little girl
'cause free meals ain't wasted
once they have entered my world
I creep by moonlight
I hide when the sun starts to rise
I sleep with the dead things
I have holes instead of eyes
I have no heartbeat
No blood rushing through my veins
No nervous system
No impulses feeding my brain
4. The Psychopath
Listen for the siren
Screaming loud and bright
The neighborhood asylum
Reports escape tonite
Look around the corner
Behind every bush
Your sanity is thin now
Just needs a little push
Watch out � beware
The psychopath is loose
Hold on � tighter
The psychopath is you
Hordes of screaming mad men
Rushing to your side
They say they'll give you glory
But all they do is lie
L.S.D. was given
Intravenously
It's a wonder they can walk,
Talk or even see
Everywhere there's people
Which one can he be
They say he looks unusual
They say he looks like me
Feel the icy fingers
Tighten 'round your neck
Whirl around in horror
No body's there yet
5. Burial at Sea
Skull and crossbones � a field of black
Thunder roars � lightning cracks
A phantom ship � she appears
Lost horizons � suddenly near
Neptune please help me
Don't want no burial at sea
Hear their laughter � bloodless shrieks
Tell yourself � dead men can't scream
One legged spectre � riding high
He's commanding � the rape of the sky
Neptune please help me
Don't want no burial at sea
Twilight killers, blood stained teeth
Guiding you into the reef
You are smashed to bits, far below
You're one of us now, you've got no soul
Join the dead men � who cannot die
Committed forever � to soar 'cross the sky
Skull and crossbones � a field of black
Laughs insanely � but no one laughs back
Neptune please help me
Don't want no burial at sea
Neptune please help me
Don't want no burial at sea
