1. Let The Children Come
Let the Children come
Every child, one by one
Initiated in Our Belief
They put their parents into grief
Communion of Our Flesh
The cross is burnt down to ash
The Sharing of Our Blood
Hate is but stronger love
Laat de Kind'ren komen
Alle, Alle Kinderen
Laat de Kind'ren komen
Please let Them come
Before They may leave
Pledge Their Mission to achieve
Forever possessed by Their Task
The Slaughter of the White White Dove
Send Them out, one by one
Come Kingdom Thy, daughter nor son
Will act to what you believe
Only bring thou an Eternal Grief
Laat de Kind'ren komen
Alle, Alle Kinderen
Laat de Kind'ren komen
Please let Them come
Where the Children go
Awaken, and as thus will show
Their inhibit dormant Hate
Upon the Virtue Thine, They maculate
Gods - unchallenged - take heed
Of children Pure like the Old Breed
For when the fires They kindle burn
Be the Elders' Summoning to return
(Let the Fires burn... !)
2. Father Forgives The Assassins
The intro that is sung in reverse:)
"Father forgives Metallica,
for they don't know what they've done,
what they do."
(The Assassin:)
"I have found myself a lovely shovel,
Must dig a hole,
Must dig a grave,
Your Death's Bed!"
"My eyes will find you
Amidst a million people.
Behind those numberous masks
Of a crowd you cannot hide.
You might try to run,
My pace is faster than yours.
This game of a killing
Is mine to win, you are one of my scores."
(The Narrator:)
Father forgives the assassins,
For He knows well what they do.
They deliver Him new angels
Amongst the Evil they unleash.
One more falls victim to prey,
It gives man a reason to preach
One more falls victim to prey,
Just another reason to preach.
(The Assassin:)
"Once I will find you,
The wonder shall be read from your face.
When I bring you eternal sleep,
You will never fall from grace ...again
(Again...again...)"
"I have found myself a lovely shovel.
Must dig this hole,
Must dig your grave,
It is the perfect match
To comfort you
Lying sweet and still
In your Death's Bed!"
"Now that I have found you
The wonder is still written on your face
As I bring you eternal sleep
You will never fall from grace... again
(Again... again...)"
"My eyes did find you
Amidst those million people
Behind those numberous masks
Of that crowd you could not hide...
...My pride !"
"Father forgave your assassin
For he knew well what I did
I delivered Him another angel
My good work is done, Blessed Be!"
3. Weeping Whale
A weeping whale swims the threathened sea
Deadened world, a destiny ours' to fear
You strand on our shores, suicidal prow
The first to go, but we humans will follow
You cry for your littl' child, soon in solitude
For its future is uncertain, not even secured
You weep days long and at nights you feel blue
For your habitat is poisoned, pollution is so cruel
The whale
-an endangered species that is allmost gone-
Is driven to extinction
4. V.A.I.S.
Don't you see it is coming
It flashes up our sky
Darkest clouds are gathering
People, it is time to die.
The last factor
Is counting for the dying
The cause was international
Yet the problems stayed unsolved
It has begun
The last factor cannot be undone
Now where do you belong
Be it Heaven, be it Hell
My choice for you
I can allready tell
It has begun
The last factor cannot be undone
Didn't you see it was coming
The flashes - fast and bright
Darkest clouds are covering
The people that have died
Now you must stand trial
Right there before the Jury
Verdict: Hell - it is rational
Testimonies stay untold
It has begun
The last factor means... we are gone
5. For A Dance Of God
Prayed one time
A confession true
Called you god
Evil comes with you
Forgive me father I have sinned
My passion's guidance is the wind
Took my first step, you (took) a stone
The first to throw and you are not alone
Confessed one time
For in your prayers
My name was called
Fit for a saviour
Now that y'all know my name
Unrighteous confessor, you are to blame
Saints and sinners, we are all the same
Our life is but death and death is invain
When we'll stand before the gates
Our soul's possession is for what you wait
Saints and sinners share our fate
Love is only a facade for all the hate
When we are dancing the dance of god
Our feet are passing by where corpses rot
Now that we are freed of all our hope
Bells will chime ,let's tighten the rope
When we are sailing across the River Styx
W'all shall see a floating Crucifix
As we are freed of our earthly corpse
Our souls fall prey to the Crosses' Force
Now that we are in the Hall Aflame
Still dancing the dance of god (we should be) ashamed
"Danced the last step in sight of the throne
The soul is burned, angel wings fly alone"
6. Witchsmeller Pursuivant
He comes to your town
There he noses around
For witches to be found
Until they are hanged and drowned
Today you are saved for a while
Next day you are burnt on the pile
(Oh you are burnt on the pile)
(He is the) Witchsmeller Pursuivant
You will be the victim of his hunt
(He is the) Witchsmeller Pursuivant
Better fly your broom when you hear his grunt
Is he of purest blood
Blessed with sanctifying seal
He is a devil in disguise
When his powers reveal
He comes to your town
And he noses around
All the witches shall be found
(He is the) Witchsmeller Pursuivant
Bewitched are the victims of his hunt
(He is the) Witchsmeller Pursuivant
Better flee like snow before the sun
If your odor is like sulphur
Or any of its solvents
You will suffer and burn
For he is His deadly regent
"Ashes and sulphur, sulphur and dust
She's a witch , I can smell it
For she's burning with lust"
(He is the) Witchsmeller Pursuivant
Dook John is the victim of his hunt
Whispered through the room
All gossip equals the law
"A man with a cat that drinks bloody milk
and a man that talks to his horse Satin
And most importantly he knows a man
who propagates poodles
Namely John Grumbledook"
He's the victim of this double-u pursuit
(He is the)Witchsmeller Pursuivant
Convicted be the victims of his hunt
Gathered here in the room
Now may speak the law
"One hand's evil
One hand's good
May the egg decide that stays as a whole
One hand's evil
One hand's good
What is understood must just serve His goal"
(He is the) Witchsmeller Pursuivant
He is the master of all offence
(He is the) Witchsmeller Pursuivant
He's the victim of the Witches' Revenge
Hear this Witchdraught
As the puppet feeds the fire
The flames show Witchcraft
The Witchsmeller dies
To catch us the Witchsmeller had no chance
Now it's time for our Witches Dance
(It's time for the Witches Dance)
(Shoot!)
Witchsmeller Pursuivant, you'll burn like a witch
7. ...Intrigant (instrumental)
