1. Rats In The Attic
Double, double toil and trouble
Fire burn and cauldron bubble
Cool it with a baboon's blood
Then the charm is firm and good
Wake up, keep quiet
Can you hear the screaming, too?
Don't move, just listen
To the Knocks of the cloven hoof
Watch out, they're coming
Looks have encircled you
Cold sweat keeps running
Inroad out of the blue
Wicked, evil, malicious
Messengers of eternal fear
Rats in the attic
Bats in the night
Born in the fire of hell
Sensitive to light
Rats in the attic
Claws just like knives
Rats in the attic
Bound to take your life
Your heart is beating
Like a drum on the battle-field
Don't think you're dreaming
The bite's reality
Satanic smile in the window
Your guardian angel's on the run
Rats in the attic
Bats in the night
Born in the fire of hell
Sensitive to light
Rats in the attic
Claws just like knives
Rats in the attic
Bound to take your life
2. Eternia
Your time has come
So get ready for the journey
Take leave of home and sun
Out of the blue
The ferryman is calling for you
He meets you, he leads you
To the gates of eternal domicile
Believe it, receive it, a cut
Of the scythe hurts just a while
The city is reaching for you
Just like a bolt from the blue
The new dawn is still wet with dew
Eternia is calling out of the night
Eternia is calling
Stand up and fly
To the borderland of truth
Reality and lie
Never look back, soon the time
Will wipe away your track
No ashes to ashes
Leave this empty body far behind
No sorrow - tomorrow don't need
To have the future on your mind
You need no silver, no gold
Whether you're young or quite old
Forget what the wise men have told
Eternia is calling out of the night
Eternia is calling
3. Jonathan's Diary
Dark, strange Transylvania
Mysterious land
Where the Death's close at hand
The journey has come to an end
The coach arrives at the castle
He gets out and stares
Up the tumble-down stairs
The walls are veiled in gloomy air
He's standing at the gate
Beyond someone's appearing
Whispering: "I have been waiting
Enter of your own accord
Eat and drink, tell me
Something 'bout your land
I'm interested in England
Show me the plans you have brought"
"Now, it's time to retire
I think that you need
A rest that is deep!"
But Jonathan can't fall asleep
Fog ascends from the valley
There is no doubt
The wolves roam about, with flames
In their eyes they swarm out
Nightmares strangle his neck
Make his heart scared
He's turning about while
A voice blares: "Don't think
That you are still free!"
No key to open the door
There is no key to leave this
Damned castle at once, he knows
That there's no chance to flee
Jonathan's diary, Jonathan's diary
Now a new day is dawning
The sky is aglow, my diary knows
The things that have happened ago
Watch out for his shadow
His fingers of ice
The greed in his eyes
He is the bat in disguise
Warning, with the help of the
Gipsy he's leaving, the coffins
Are gone, he's intending
To get to a new hunting-ground
London, watch out
His hunger's abandoned
There is no use if you run and
Hide yourself you will be found
Jonathan's diary, Jonathan's diary
4. Slave To Moonlight
Another sunset glow, another dusk
And I'm getting restless
There's a fire deep inside
I feel the curse's coming
True again, metamorphosis
My clothing gets so light
Foam stains the floor
I'm staggering to the door
The wolf's emerging more and more
Slave to moonlight, moonlight
Prowling in the blue night
Moonlight, moonlight
Sending out the spell
Straight out of hell
The forest's shadow is my
Only friend, when I scent
Sweet blood, hunting is a must
Start running, I'll get you
Nevertheless, I'm burning
With fever, rude animal lust
Damned to attack
Howling with the pack
The beast's not getting of my back
Slave to moonlight, moonlight
Prowling in the blue night
Moonlight, moonlight
Sending out the spell
Straight out of hell
My conscience's been fading away
Like a flame in the mist
I bark at the pale orb
The curse is too strong to resist
When the morning comes
I know what I've done
When I'm lying naked in the sun
5. Stronger Than Heaven
Mandrakes, three black feathers
Dried up toads and rats
Spiders, human leather
Eyes and wings of bats
It's been a long way
But now you are here
We wish you welcome, never fear
Glowing cauldrons
Burning hot haze
Turning the atmosphere into a maze
When the night is falling
When the parson locks the door
When the shadow's calling
Our force is growing more and more
Stronger than heaven
Meet the witch
When the night is young
Stronger than heaven
No chance to run
Stronger than heaven
Face the fire
Of the black cat's eye
Stronger than heaven
We'll burn the sky
One sip of potion
Makes you able to see
The realms of everlasting
Black Mystery
Sweet decoction, hotter than hell
Your throath's still burning
You're under my spell
Move a little closer
Let me touch your feverish skin
Move a little closer
Feel the fire, taste the sin
Stronger than heaven
Meet the witch
When the night is young
Stronger than heaven
No chance to run
Stronger than heaven
Face the fire
Of the black cat's eye
Stronger than heaven
We'll burn the sky
6. Ravenlord
Grey morning, dawn won the fight
Daylight drives away the night
Fog's rising out in the fields
The birth of winter is in sight
Dark shadow's fall from the sky
They alight on gallows tree
Black feathers, amber beaks
Waiting for their Deity
Leaves are spinning 'round
Lost and never found
When the King takes the Crown
Can you feel
The autumn wind blowing
Ravenlord is coming to stay
Can you hear
The passing bell tolling
Ravenlord - takes you far away
Sharp talons, pinions of ice
They obscure the new-born day
Hot breathing freezes to snow
Piercing caws lead you astray
Leaves are spinning 'round
Lost and never found
When the King takes the Crown
Can you feel
The autumn wind blowing
Ravenlord is coming to stay
Can you hear
The passing bell tolling
Ravenlord - takes you far away
7. Allies Of The Dark
You are blinded by hundreds
Of flickering candles
They enlighten the hall
Curious dancers are spinning
All around you
You've never seen such a ball
Powdered face
Worn out black lace
You find yourself
In an icy cold embrace
Blood-shot eyes
Silent cries, bats in disguise
Allies of the dark
Claws from the back
Lips at your neck
Allies of the dark
Up the left of his room
There's a mighty mirror
A lady's passing that wall
What you see makes you
Shiver and shake for she has
No reflection at all
Be my slave
Eternal slave
Follow me down to
The shadow of my grave
Blood-shot eyes
Silent cries, bats in disguise
Allies of the dark
Claws from the back
Lips at your neck
Allies of the dark
8. Dorian Gray
