1. Kirkcarrion
2. One Dark Horse
In the east a storm is rising
One dark horse appears on the horizon
Sowing seeds of chaos and confusion
Time to buy weapons and learn how to use them
Genghis Khan, Napoleon and Nero
History decides - villain or a hero
Who's your king? The leader or the liar
Take the oath and meet the new messiah
One dark horse with no rider in the saddle
Will soon come forth to lead us into battle
An ancient bloodstained flag unfurls
As we wage our war on a dying world
False prophets - cheaper by the dozen
Fools all, name a one who wasn't
Slaves of God - witness the millenium
One dark horse will come forth to free them
Bow down to the true messiah
Receive the mark for all that you desire
Deny Christ - lunatic and liar
One dark horse rises from the fire
One dark horse rides toward destiny
Everything i've done finally comes back to me
Paid in full for all that i've sacrificed
Black knights in the service of the antichrist
A new age is dawning
A new breed is spawning
Last generation - final confrontation
This war will be won
A new kingdom come
3. The Bishop's Folly
Somewhere in the night a fallen priest
Celebrates a mass in the name of the beast
He gives into his lust and breaks his vow
He serves a different master now
In the darkened chapel
He feeds her the apple
He leads her into temptation
And reaps the reward of his damnation
Unholy acts and blasphemous rites
The bishop smiles as the clock strikes midnight
His morals fail, her inhibitions falter
He ravishes the lusty lass on the altar
Pretty little Polly, the bishop's folly
Virgin blood for the taking
Debased and deflowered in the darkest hour
In the name of Satan!
In the darkened chapel
He feeds her the apple
The ways of Christ denied
The bishop satisfied!!!
He dedicates this house of God to evil
Disciples gather to honor the Devil
Through a secret door in the garden wall
Comes the Hellfire Club into Lartington Hall
Peni tenti non Penitento
4. Invisible Empire
World domination... NOW!
Are you listening to me?
Can you even hear my words?
I'm trying to tell you that history
Is being written in reverse
If the writing on the wall is the Trenchcoat Mafia
Destroy the world that has nothing left to offer you
Become the monster that the media has made of you
Reclaim the world and all that it has taken from you
A masterplan, a final solution for a...
New Satanic revolution
One world, a single nation
Undivided under Satan
You raped our souls
and then you said "Get used to it!"
You'll get what's coming to you
You filthy hypocrites
Fuck you and your tired dogma
Fuck you and your world of shit
I have seen the future
AND WE ARE IT!
One world, a single nation
Undivided under Satan
I'm a high tension wire that's ready to snap and
I'm a walking hate crime ready to happen
We're the hands of death, the Invisible Empire
The strike force for the gods of hellfire
One world, a single nation
Undivided under Satan
We will settle for nothing less than
Complete world domination
5. Speed Demon
I'm a speed demon with white line fever
A hundred forty-four miles an hour
I'm hot wired, I got wheels of fire and
No one's gonna stop me now
Can you hear it now? Can you see it now?
It's right before your eyes
Can't you taste it now? It's in your face now
And it smells like paradise
I'm a speed demon and my mind is screamin'
As I kick it into overdrive
I'm a speed demon and right now i'm feelin'
Like I won't come back alive
I can finally see shades of victory
This race has reached its end
Back on the bullet train - hellfire is in my veins
I start all over again
Can you hear it now? Can you see it now?
It's right before your eyes
Can't you taste it now? It's in your face now
And you know you're gonna die
I'm a speed demon and my mind is screamin'
As I kick it into overdrive
I'm a speed demon and right now i'm feelin'
Like I won't come back alive
Black magic! White powder!
Turn the music up a little bit louder!
Rocket fuel! Brute speed!
A little bit of devil dust is what I need!
I'm a speed demon and my brain's on fire
I'm ready like Freddy, i'm completely wired
I'm a speed demon and I know i'm not dreamin
Got a monkey in my trunk and it's time to feed 'im
I'm a speed demon and i'm comin' down fast
I'm low on fuel... I gotta make it last
I'm a speed demon and my mind is screamin'
As I kick it into overdrive
I'm a speed demon and right now i'm feelin'
Like I won't come back alive
6. My Name Is Legion
I am the heart of darkness
I am the infernal host
I am the reason you sold your soul
I am the fate you chose
My name is Legion
For I am Many
My name is Legion
Don't you forget me
I enter your dreams, I enter your mind
I enter your body, I enter your soul
Now i'm in control
I will make you squirm like a conquering worm
Deep inside your brain, driving you insane
Mnemonic possession, I am your obsession
Everything you see makes you think of me
And you will never break free
I will make you burn.. until you learn that
My name is Legion
For I am Many
My name is Legion
And you won't forget me
I am the one and only
I am the Lord of the Flies
I am the Alpha and Omega
I am the Prince of Lies
I run through your thoughts like a juggernaut
Like a killing machine, like an iron dream
You cannot resist, I won't cease or desist
I'm gonna make you scream
Mnemonic possession, I am your obsession
Everything you see makes you think of me
And you will never break free
You will never, you will never, you will never
Break free of ME!
My name is Legion
For I am Many
My name is Legion
And you won't forget me
Our name is Legion
For we are many
Our name is Legion
Don't you forget it!
I am the heart of darkness
I am the infernal host
I am the reason you sold your soul
I am the fate you chose
OUR NAME IS LEGION!
7. Paradise Reclaimed
Last night I dreamed of darker things
In another place and time
Where angels flew with broken wings
And demons filled the sky
I dreamed we flew beyond
Our dismal world of fire and ice
We waged a war in heaven
And reclaimed our paradise
I dreamed of great atrocities
That filled my heart with joy
Our reign would be eternal
It could not be destroyed
We broke through heaven's pearly gates
The world from which we fell
We laid the holy throne to waste
And sent your savior.. straight to Hell
Apocalyptic horsemen
With violence on our minds
We will claim our judgement day
The world we left behind
We wait for armageddon
With bated breath
The bringers of destruction
Archangels of death
These gifts our father gave us
Sacraments of fire
These things that dreams are made of
To rule again our one desire
In another place... another time
Where dreams become reality
And pride is not a crime
We'll wage a war in heaven
To regain the world we lost
Paradise will be reclaimed
No matter what the cost
Our reign will be eternal
Dreams never die
On wings of victory we shall ever fly
8. The Monkey's Paw
Did you ever stop to think about how
Every silver lining has its cloud?
If a sick little monkey were to give you three wishes
Are you sure you'd know the difference?
Between what you gave and what you'd get
What is real and what's not?
What to hide and what to flaunt?
What you need and what you want?
Cuz when the monkey demands his sacrifice
You better be ready to pay the price
You better know what you're asking for
When you ask the monkey's paw
Is it what you need or what you want?
Beware the monkey's paw
Cuz if you realize that you didn't really need it
Got a monkey on your back?
You'll have to feed it
There's no escape from the Monkey's law
You gotta rob Peter to pay the paw
You better make sure it's what you want
When you ask the monkey's paw
You might just get what you're asking for
When you hold the monkey's paw
Are you sure it's what you want?
Beware the monkey's paw
Is it what you need or what you want?
Is it what you want? - What you really want?
Is it what you need? - Do you really need it?
You better be sure it's what you want
When you ask the monkey's paw
You might just get what you're asking for
When you hold the monkey's paw
Are you sure it's what you want?
Beware the monkey's paw
You better be sure it's what you want
When you ask the monkey's paw
You might just get what you're asking for
When you hold the monkey's paw
Are you sure it's what you want?
Beware the monkey's paw
9. Wormwood
10. The Number of the Beast (Iron Maiden cover)
"Woe to you, oh Earth and Sea for the Devil sends the beast wrath
Because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number. It's number is six hundred and sixty six."
I left alone my mind was blank
I needed time to think to get the memories from my mind
What did I see?, can I believe that what I saw
that night was real and not just fantasy?
Just what I saw in my old dreams were they
Reflections of my warped mind staring back at me
'Cos in my dreams it's always there the evil face
That twists my mind and brings me to despair
The night was black was no use holding back
'Cos I just had to see was someone watching me
In the mist dark figures move and twist
Was all this for real or just some kind of Hell?
666, the number of the Beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released
Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
As they start to cry hands held to the sky
In the night the fires are burning bright
The ritual has begun, Satan's work is done
666, the number of the Beast
Sacrifice is going on tonight
This can't go on, I must inform the law
Can this still be real or some crazy dream?
But I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes
They seem to mesmerise me... can't avoid their eyes
666, the number of the Beast
666, the one for you and me
I'm coming back, I will return!
And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn
I have the fire, I have the force!
I have the power to make my evil take its course
