1. Black Xmas
When the snow turns black
I'll be back - I'll be here
Between the blinking of an eye
When the screams attack
Welcome back - Cavalier
Before the newborn starts to cry
And it's all in the eyes of a child
Flaming star or the call of the
wild
Black Xmas - Devils Eve
The whispers in the breeze
Black Xmas - Devil's wine
The river bleeds in time
Where the red clouds chase
That's the place - In a dream
Across the suns hot blazing sky
Where he hides his face
In disgrace - For his queen
He must choose the way she dies
And they say when his eyes turn
to green
He'll awake living sin never seen
Watches over you
That's the clue - To believe
An instant and you're hypnotised
Watch his eyes look through
False or true - To deceive
You take his place you're
crucified
Black Xmas - Devils Eve
The whispers in the breeze
Black Xmas - Devil's wine
The river bleeds in time
Black Xmas - Devil's wine
Black Xmas
2. The Chanting Of The Priests
Watch out -
There's a cry from Atlantis
Takes the wind by surprise
Voices so demanding
Thunder swarms the skies
To the north of horizon
Over mountains at east
There's a call to the lost ones
From the elders deceased
We're chanting - They're chanting
It's in a tear - Outside a prayer
Without form it's haunting the air
It's in a kiss - within a bite
It brings the darkness into light
The chanting of the priests
The chanting of the priests
Watch out -
It's a song for Olympus
Cracks the morpheus dream
It oozes the ozone
Heavenly screams
By the golden waterfall
Through the fog on the ice
There's a voice in the shell call
It's demanding precise
We're chanting - They're chanting
The chanting of the priests
Yells ascend into the sleeping
Screech the hawk replies
Shudders pound the marching
hearts
In reborn synchronize
Held in force the feeding prism
Triangle diaboli
Catalogues the souls inside
The city in the sea
Watch Out -
Where there's life without
presence
There's a voice without sound
Deep inside you can't feel it
Yet it's all around
Through the eye of the pharaoh
To the tombs in the sand
There's a force in the distance
Calls you to the sacred land
The chanting of the priests
3. Metal Punk
Metal Punk is rising wild
Antenae scouts the way
Ready for the danger
In the game he has to play
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Nowhere to live
No time to die
Metal Punk
Metal Punk - Feel it
Metal Punk - C'mon
Metal Punk - Take it
Metal Punk
Metal Punk dilates the cries
A message all is well
The changes take their place
Amongst the sentinel
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Nowhere to live
No time to die
Metal Punk
Metal Punk - Feel it
Metal Punk - C'mon
Metal Punk - Take it
Metal Punk
Metal Punk
Metal Punk animalize
Metal Punk watch his eyes
Metal make a punk of me
For satanic majesty
Savage mind
Damage child
Boiling high
Metal Punk
4. Under A Spell
You know she only plays beneath
the night of day
Weaving her deadly web of lies
to tempt her pray
Her deadly poison rots the reason
in your mind
You contribute towards the future
of her kind
Oh no - Don't you believe her -
Look out
She is the fire - Heavenly hell
You can't resist - Under her spell
So inviting - The angels fell
She lets you in - Under her spell
But you can't see behind the
schemes
You thought you'd fell into a
dream
You should have taken more care
Can't you see your dreams -
They're a nightmare
The angels fell - Heavenly hell -
Under a spell
Caught - Under a spell - Under a
spell
You know she's dangerous
between her smiles and grace
Her charms adventurous with
schizophrenic lies
And then her final trick the noose
that she has tied
Oh no - Don't you believe her -
Look out
She is the fire - Heavenly hell
You can't resist - Under her spell
So inviting - The angels fell
She lets you in - Under her spell
(Repeat Verse 1 & Chorus)
The angels fell - Heavenly hell -
Under a spell
Caught - Under a spell - Under a
spell
You're caught
5. Calm Before The Storm
I can smell the fear
Hear the screams of pain
I must kill or be meat
I'll say to you
On this planet of dirt
Number one comes first
This is our place
The last of the human race
Children of disgrace
Now can you all hear me say
There's a calm before the storm
Don't say that you ain't been
warned
A calm before the storm
And it's coming for you
Is there life after death
Do you ask yourself
This is our place
The last of the human race
Children of disgrace
Now can you all hear me say
There's a calm before the storm
Don't say that you ain't been
warned
A calm before the storm
And it's coming for you
I have smelled the fear
Heard the screams of pain
This is our place
The last of the human race
Children of disgrace
Now can you all hear me say
There's a calm before the storm
Don't say that you ain't been
warned
A calm before the storm
And it's coming for you
There's a calm before the storm
6. Fire
Take my hand and we'll be one
It's a chance in a million
Don't be scared on our way down
You'll belong to the hellion
Black your tears dry on me
Friend or foe or liar
Fire - In hell fire - Fire
Hear my tale and walk with me
Answer not to oblivion
Ask your stars your destiny
Shining down on Marillion
Red your eyes look for me
Scream the demon's choir
Search your soul for we're the
same
Don't believe you're a warrior
Let me kick your mind insane
Hell's my unholy abattoir
Give your services to me
Burning feeds my buyers
Fire - Fire - Burning in fire - Fire
- Hell fire
7. Krackin' Up
You want to be the master blaster
Killing yourself to win
You let your body sweat burn
faster
Moulding a god of sin
You've got the madness and the
glory
And now your heart's pounding
blood
You're living your own story
You know it does you good
Krakin Up - Krakin Up - Krakin
Up - Krakin Up
You put yourself through hours of
torture
Increasing mindless pain
You soon become a demon
vulture
You're getting greedy for gain
Krakin Up - Krakin Up - Krakin
Up - Krakin Up
You've got the madness and the
glory
Killing yourself to win
You're always living your own
story
Moulding a god of sin
You want to be the master blaster
And now your heart's pounding
blood
You let your body sweat burn
faster
You know it does you good
Krakin Up - Krakin Up - Krakin
Up - Krakin Up
8. Beauty And The Beast
He watches witches weaving
wonders
Inside their crystal balls of
thunder
Seeing the future past and present
Of messages the universe sends
They summon through the sphere
A child so fair so virgin pure
They summon me my slave
Bring her to their lure
The beauty and the beast
The beauty and the beast
She calls christ in churches
crimson
But I can see the blood on your
sins
I've got to take her - Leave her -
Take her
Tell me the price if I deliver
They guide me through the lake
By one a slave of flesh
They summon his return
In vain wasting their breath
The beauty and the beast
The beauty and the beast
They cast countless conjurations
He didn't sign the pact the fact is
Their screams of failure fade to
whispers
Trying to heal their mental
blisters
They summon through the sphere
A child so fair so golden pure
They didn't realise
This was the demon's cure
The beauty and the beast
The beauty and the beast
9. Deadline
I lust a princess - A crystal queen
Virginal whiteness is all that I
dream
To make a contact - I'm dying to
feel
My magic snow - Show me your
real
Watch out - You there
She makes you feel good
Don't you care
Inside - Can't fight it
You bring your money and be
there
For the deadline now
It's a deadline now
For the midnight frost
It's a deadline now
It's a deadline
Give me an angel - Blow me a
breeze
You walk on silver - Travel the
seas
Hunting a killer - It's a jungle
disease
Watching in marvel you'll steal
her release
Watch out - You there
She makes you feel good
Don't you care
Inside - Can't fight it
You bring your money and be
there
For the deadline now
It's a deadline now
For the midnight frost
It's a deadline now
It's a deadline now
My mind's in torment -
Something's not clear
I take my godess where nobody
hears
She sees right through me - She's
in my mind
Mother of madness - Immortals
blind
Watch out - You there
She makes you feel good
Don't you care
Inside - Can't fight it
You bring your money and be
there
For the deadline now
It's a deadline now
For the midnight frost
It's a deadline now
It's a deadline now
It's a deadline now
It's a deadline now
It's a deadline now
10. Gypsy
Gypsy woman calls me
Caution leads the way
Reads from a book of night and
day
Words or endless stories
Crystals in her gaze
Shows me of a place inside a
maze
Cities golden splendor
Only life surrender
Candles all around me
Mountains in the sky
This is the place where life's a lie
Wakes in mortuary
Gasping in the air
Wind breathes words - She's not
there
Deserts vast and barren
Still the witches jargon
Promises of splendor
Just my life surrender
She's a gypsy
Blinding lights flash at me
Wake me from this dream
I can't believe this place is real
Fires in stormy weather
Silver shields the rain
Her grip so tight that my life
drains
Nectar from the serpent
Poison messages sent
Psylocybin splendor
Never life surrender
She's a gypsy
