Come To The Sabbath

Come To The Sabbath


Come come to the Sabbath, down by the
ruined Bridge
Witches and Demons are coming
Just follow the magic Call
Come come to the Sabbath, down by the
ruined Bridge
Later on the Master will join us
Called from the Heart of Hell
At first we light up a Fire, and then we hail
our Lord
Two Candles, a black and a white, are placed
upon the Altar
North, South, East and West, and so we
clean the Air
High Priestess invoking the Devil, infernal
Names are spoken
Come to the Sabbath...Sabbath
...Sabbath...Sabbath
Come to the Sabbath
The Ceremony's proceeding, it's Time to
grant your Wishes
An Evil Curse on the Priest who took the Life
of Melissa
Now we must close up the Ritual, read the
Enochian Key
And so it will be done, Amen... now come
Come to the Sabbath...Sabbath
...Sabbath...Sabbath
Come to the Sabbath...now here we come
Solo: H.S.
If you say Heaven, I say a Castle of Lies
You say forgive him, I say Revenge
My sweet Satan, You are The One

Crossroads

Crossroads


You are Selene, the moon in heaven
You are Persephone, Queen of the Underworld
Hecate...darkness and terror of the night
Hecate...oh, the crossroads are thine
You are Diana, you are the hunter of souls
The dogs are howling, we dogs know when you approach

Let us ride with a beast tonight
Let us ride the crossroads
Let us ride with a beast tonight, oh let us ride

At the crossroads, they buried criminals and suicides
At the crossroads, any traveller could lose a life
A suitable place, for making a pact with the Devil
A suitable place, for us to hold the sabbath

Let us ride with a beast tonight
Let us ride the crossroads
Let us ride with a beast tonight
Let us ride in the dead of night...

Even you mortals can ride with her at night
And join the night-flying demons, oh you and I
Listen to their tales of wandering ghosts
Listen to their tales of forgotten times
Listen to their tales of the crossroads
Listen to their tales of forgotten lives

Oh Diana

Hecate...darkness and terror of the night
Hecate...oh, the crossroads are thine
You are Diana, you are the hunter of souls
The dogs are howling, we dogs know when you approach

Let us ride with a beast tonight
Let us ride the crossroads
Let us ride with a beast tonight
Let us ride in the dead of night

To the crossroads...to the crossroads...
We ride to the crossroads, in search of your soul
We ride to the crossroads, in search of your soul...

Curse Of The Pharaohs

Curse Of The Pharaohs


Away out in Egypt in the valley of kings
Where the mummified pharaohs
Pretend dead in their sleep

Don't touch, never ever steal
Unless you're in for the kill
Or you'll be hit by the curse of the pharaohs
Yes you'll be hit and the curse is on you

Now if you're breakin' the seals
and disturbing the peace
Then you're startin' up a curse
Bringin' evil disease

Don't touch, never ever steal
Unless you're in for the kill
Or you'll be hit by the curse of the pharaohs
Yes you'll be hit and the curse is on you

The curse of the pharaohs can be so deadly
Or just destroying your future
Takin' it all shady

Don't touch, never ever steal
Unless you're in for the kill
Or you'll be hit by the curse of the pharaohs
Yes you'll be hit and the curse is on you

Dead Again

Dead Again


Why do I keep on doing this? It's not for me anymore
I'm doing this more for you than I
And on that lonely road to nowhere
I lost myself to something else

I don't know where I'm going or where I've been
It's so hard to remember all the things I am, am I?
It feels like the end is near, catching up with me
Catch me if you can, cause I'm going down into the ground

How much longer can I keep going on?
I can feel my lost ones coming down
Sooner than later I'll see you all again
I feel my purpose here slipping away
I see the sun, but it's raining

I hope I'm on my way to better things
And if I'm not, it doesn't really matter
Cause I am doing this more for you than I am me
I can no longer pretend, that my life is worth living
I...I would rather die, be dead again

Hold on
Now here it comes, death for one, for a lonely son
Up then down. I'm spinning around
My soul is so confused again
Am I floating towards the sun?
Hold on, am I dead on?

Through a tunnel of black, why?
Why do I feel so sad?

I've been waiting for the end of act 9 to come
The curtain must fall, the end of a song

But the song goes on and on
The light is so very strong
I'm drifting along, I have no will

I'm drifting still
In a room without walls...I feel the chill
No one is here to pick me up
Nothingness...what a mess...oh
Is anybody there?

Is anybody there? I'm talking to you, do you hear me?
If I could only see through the wall of nothingness
The wall of black
They gave me number 9, this is not like last time
Number 9
This time I am really losing my mind

I hear an orchestra...I see an orchestra
I greet an orchestra...I meet an orchestra
I'm in an orchestra...I am an orchestra
I kill this orchestra...I kill me? No
No don't stop, oh please don't stop

Hey say here, what's going on?...hey wait for me

I'm running but I can't keep up
Then I realize my feet are gone
This is such a weird weird song
The orchestra is now a door
One is one and two is four. I can see three more
Seven doors, seven doors
I must choose one before they're gone

But I cannot move, oh they are drifting away now
But I cannot move, oh they are drifting away now
I've got to reach that door, the number 6
I've got to reach that door, the number 6
The number 6-6, the number 6-6-6
The number 6-6-6

The number 6-6-6, that's my door
Wuauuu...look at all the colours
There goes an orchestra, no more doors
Close the window, here they come
I hear another end of this song
But again the song goes on

Dead again. I know cause I've been here before
I'm dead again, if I could only reach that door
The number 6-6-6, the number 6-6-6

I'm beginning to miss you again
Why can't I just get you out of my mind...
I must forget

Dead again. I know cause I've been here before
I'm dead again, if I could only reach that door
Through a purple mist the light is fading
I guess I'll have to stay dead
A little longer this time

Fear

Fear



In the mirror...I have seen HIM
And he scares me
The creature...behind the mask I wear
I know his name is FEAR
In the mirror...He's looking back at me
I have to face him every day

And I know him not so well, his name is FEAR

So deep within, yet so far away
I...wonder, will he always stay
Stay so deep within, deep within my soul

And I know him not so well, his name is FEAR

The man...in the mirror, he scares me
For I know him not so well
The creature...behind the mask I wear
I know his name is FEAR
In the mirror...it's not my eyes I see
But they are always there

I cannot let it show. NO ONE must ever know
The horror that lies so deep within
Tucked away beneath my skin

And it scares me, yes it scares me

So deep within, yet so far away
I...wonder, will he always stay
Stay so deep within, deep within my soul

And I know him not so well, his name is FEAR

No man...nor any book, will ever teach me
What I need to know
No man...nor any book, will ever teach me
What I'm longing for
Only the creature...living inside of me
Could show me the meaning of life

I cannot let it show. NO ONE must ever know
The horror that lies so deep within
Tucked away beneath my skin

And it scares me, yes it scares me

House On The Hill

House On The Hill


Let's go to the House on the Hill
Let's go to where time stands still
If you dare then come with me
To the House on the Hill and you will see
Nothing is what it seems In the House on the Hill
Let's go to the House on the Hill
Let's go to where time stands still
While you were asleep
Another friend of mine has come from the Keep
The well in the cellar my dear - That's how I keep them near
In the House on the Hill
In the House on the Hill
In the House on the Hill
In the House on the Hill
Let's go to the House on the Hill
Let's go to where time stands still
In my little shrine
I keep the stillborn to be born another time
The souls that God didn't hear - oh I keep them near
In the House on the Hill
In the House on the Hill
In the House on the Hill
In the House on the Hill
It is so very strange, to live among the stillborn
It is so very strange, to keep their souls away from harm
I was one of the mentally ill, who stayed in a cell of his own
I was one of the mentally ill, who used to call this home
Oh you're not alone

Insane

Insane


I see little demons, are they in my head?
I see little demons, fightin in my bed
Why did I go insane? Oh doctor kill the pain
Screams in the night, I hear another one died
Was it number 9, or was it me who cried
Why did I go insane? Oh doctor kill the pain
When I look in the mirror, my mind goes blank
My brain is burning up, Insanity...
When I look in the mirror, my mind is, Dead
Is it me on the other side?
I saw the look on your face, the night they took me away
Not a tear, not a trace, just stood there waving goodbye
Dead roses in my room, a love that died too soon
When I look in the mirror, my mind goes blank
My brain is burning up, Insanity...
When I look in the mirror, my mind is, Dead
Sanity turned Insane, I hange myself in a picture frame
I'm so tired, let me sleep
I'm counting demons...
Oh doctor kill the pain, oh doctor kill the pain
