1. Black Metal
Black is the night, metal we fight
Power amps set to explode
Energy screams, magic and dreams
Satan records their first note.
We chime the bell, chaos and hell
Metal for maniacs pure.
Fast melting steel, fortune on wheels
Brain hemmorage is the cure
For

Lay down your soUL to the gods rock `n' roll
Freaking so wild, nobody's mild
Giving it all that you've got.
Wild is so right, metal tonight
Faster than over the top.
Open the core enter hells door
Black is the code for tonight
Atomic force, feel no remorse
Crank up the amps now it's night

metal ten fold through the deadly black hole
riding hells stallions bareback and free
Taking our chances with raw energy
Come ride the night with us
Rock hard and fight
United my legions we stand
Freak hard and wild for us
Give up your souls
Live for the quest satan's band
Let's go
Against the odds, black metal gods
Fight to achieve our goal
Casting a spell, leather and hell
Black metal gods rock `n' roll
Building up steam, nuclear screams
Warheads are ready to fight
Black leather hounds, faster than sound
Metal our purpose in life.

Lay down your soul to the gods rock `n' roll

2. To Hell and Back
I have been to Hell and back - kissed satanic Queen
Traveling at the speed of light - saw thing never seen
Arm in arm with Lucifer - Belial on my back
I have swam the lake of flames - walked forbidden tracks
To Hell - - and back
To Hell - - and back
I've made love to Lilleth fair - danced the zombies dance
I have shook the reapers hand - broke his deathly trance
Present at ungodly births - mutants writhe in pain
I'm possessed by Hell itself - I'm the man insane
To Hell - - and back
To Hell - - and back
Ride with me
To Hell - - and back
You can take a trip with me - Hell's my final home
If you wish to live at night - watch the demons room
Holding high the Southern Cross - watch the mortals bleed
Drink the blood and feel my wrath - watch the mutants breed
To Hell - - and back
To Hell - - and back
3. Buried Alive
I'm alive but dead, awake but asleep
As friend gather round and mourners they weep
My mind thinks of all the things I have done
My body is cold but my heart beat goes on
And on................and on
As they lower me down into that hole in the ground
I scream out for help but they hear not a sound
I fear at the lid, my fingers they bleed
Is this happening to me or is it just a dream
Summon the dead..........
Baphomets call...........
Blood on my hands........
"Let me out of here"
My bones are decayed, my flesh it doth rot
I'm lying in silk, take the lid off this box
My lungs gasp for air, my eyes scream for sight
I promise the rise of my body this night
Summon the dead..........
Baphomets call...........
Blood on my hands........
Screaming in torment.....
I'm felling you all......
Take heed of my plea.....
Answer my call...........
I'm gonna be free........
4. Raise the Dead
Rising from my deadly tomb I've got
maddened eyes with fright
fingers bleeding fast heart beating
the moons my only light
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
If God won't have me, then the Devil must
CHORUS: we will raise the dead
we will raise the dead
we will raise the dead
stop at nothing raise the dead
Gaze across the blackened yard
my mind is filled with dread
so give me all the powers of Hell
and I'll raise the dead
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
The hotter the fire, the greater the lust
CHORUS:
I hear the star of the Necromancer
my blood is black and my heart doth bleed
I am infernal and my mind's in torment
I'll raise the dead make the world unclean
Laughing as my legions rise
control the zombies mind
I hold Hell close to my breast
I'm leaving God behind
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
I'll enter hellfire, I'll break the crust
CHORUS:
5. Teacher's Pet
Teacher caught me masturbating underneath the desk
she looked at me and winked her eye said "see you after class"
I heard the school bell ring that told me that the day was done
She called me back and locked the door my lessons just begun
Teacher's pet
Teacher's wet
Sitting down she crossed her legs her skirt crept up her thigh
Feeling something start to rise my thought began to fly
You've been a naughty boy, she said, now that you can't conceal
I'll have to punish you the best way that I feel
Teacher's pet
Teacher's wet
She took my hand and gently placed it in between her thighs
With open legs and heavy breath she slowly closed her eyes
Her flesh was aching and her hands began to stray
One thing that I know for sure, I won't forget today
Teacher's pet
Teacher's wet
Pulled me down forwards her mound, teacher tasted sweet
Sixty-nine - I don't mean lines, this was teachers treat
Played hide and seek with teachers mouth, her lips were warm and wet
Now today I've had my way and teacher won't forget
Teacher's pet
Teacher's wet
6. Leave Me in Hell
Midnight six sixty six
Torment beastial sex
Mother screaming in pain
Father rules hell's domain
I don't want to be born
I don't want it
Leave me in hell
Danger gold pentagram
Sacrifice full blooded ram
Karma Hell bears its child
Reaper sharpens his scythe
I don't want to be born
I don't want it
Leave me in hell
Hail Satanic Majesties
Sabbath my crucifix
Evil chief satanist
Danger possessed by hell
Master cast me a spell
I don't want to be born
I don't want it
Leave me in hell
7. Sacrifice
Hooded figures, clouded skies
fires burn within their eyes
pentagram with baphomet midnight strikes
goat of menders lifts his head
summons up the living dead
virgin flesh lies tied and bound
hail satanas
S.A.C.R.I.F.I.C.E.
scream for mercy cry and repent satan claims your soul
sacrifice, sacrifice, oh so nice, sacrifice
Candles glow on alters bare
a virgin's death is needed there
sacrifice to lucifer my master
bring the calico raise the knife
welcome to my sacrifice
plunge the dagger in her breast
I insist
S.A.C.R.I.F.I.C.E.
limbs weaken life flies away demons rejoice
sacrifice, sacrifice, name your price, sacrifice
Death is swift `neath satans' sword
all the same young and old
life means nothing to my lord
drink from chalice warm and sweet
virgin's heart final beat
lightning strikes virgin dies
satan smiles
S.A.C.R.I.F.I.C.E.
the moon is black and the witches dance, heaven is denied
sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice
8. Heaven's on Fire
You think your soul is nice
you've lived in paradise
so now you take the stand
you want to hold your masters hand
you think your soul is free
look up and you'll see me
the pearly gates ablaze
the angels bear the zombies gaze
chorus: heavens on fire
and there ain't nothing you can do
heavens on fire
and when you die you'll go there too
the angel's life their death
no there ain't nothing left
the clowns of God despise
but torment renders no disguise
the skies a blazing tomb
plenty sorrow plenty doom
they hattle living sin
the souls of God can't hate to win
chorus: if God is so almighty
they why is he enslaved
in heavens hell by satan
the universe his slave
satan rides the skies
look up you'll see his eyes
disguised as endless stars
to keep an eye on endless wars
do you believe in God
he's chained up like a dog
and every hour he screams
satan rules supreme
9. Countess Bathory
Welcoming the virgins fair, to live a noble life
In the castle known to all - the Count's internal wife
She invites the peasants with endless lavish foods
But, when evening spreads it wings, she rapes them of their blood
Countess Bathory
Countess Bathory
All day long the virgins sit and feast on endless meals
The Countless laughs and sips her wine - her skin doth crack and peel
But when nighttime fills the air one must pay the price
The Countess takes her midnight bath with blood that once gave life
Countess Bathory
Countess Bathory
Living in her self styled Hell, the Countess dressed in black
Life's so distant - death's so near - no blood to fury time back
The castle walls are closing in, she's crippled now with age
Welcomes death with open arms - the reaper turns the page
Countess Bathory
Countess Bathory
10. Don't Burn the Witch
The witches brew a pot of hate
with lizard, but and man
with a smile they laugh their spells
astir with wretched hand
calling demons baphomet
and mephistopheles
the tattered firyres cackle
as their mortal victims bleed
chorus don't burn the witch
the ways of hell aren't wrong
don't burn the witch
let them brew their song
the witches of the blackened arts
are cunning, cruel and mean
persecuted by religion
God the man unseen
beastial malevolence
is chartered in their bones
leave the unreal house of God
and burn in hell at home
chorus eye of lizard
wing of bat
testicle of man
tongue of eagle
brain of rat
Jesus Christ's left hand
the witches make the voodoo doll
a toy taboo in heaven
they dance around the pentagram
in search of rape by satan
leave the heart and blood of men
in cauldrons laced in sin
add the arsenic, hemlock, pus
triumph takes the wings
11. At War With Satan (preview)
The dark silouette of the creature
poised, crouched on the corner of a cliffs edge
waits eagerly, eyes glare patiently.
Red eyes filled with fire and torment
gleam in the frenzied brightness
across the shadowed vallies below.
A crack of thunder breaks the deafening silence
which once ruled the planes, the creature is unmoved
by the commotion and the noise, and the blinding fork
of lightening which strikes only a few yards from where
lays it wait for something...
Satan laughs, wings spread to magnificent fullness,
the creature stands at full glory, inhaling deeply
the ice cold air each tender muscle rippling in
the almighty stench of the great dimentional diety...
Lucifer smiles, from the far far west a chariot of fire
emerges travelling at a tremendous speed toward the
creature, the creature laughs as if in an immense
state of frenzy the creature leaps up off the ridge
and hollers with dignity in the now cloudless sky
its long red hair blowing freely in the wind...
The chariot emerges and with a sharp swift movement
the creature takes the reigns and flies up into the
night, howling out immortal cries, a prediction
of war,
At war with Satan!
Warriors gather slowly around
The sacred city, Hell
Satan screams a vengance
On the land as the angels fell
Tyrants pray disaster for the
Land of love and trust
Demons plot a way to turn
The Heavens into dust.
