1. Headless Cross
Look through the people, and on through the mist
to the hill of the headless cross
Where all witches meet, on a night such as this
and the power of darkness is host
They come face to face, eye to eye, soul to soul
with and Angel that fell from the sky
Borne on the air, the screams and the wails
of the masses appointed to die
Listen for the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder
Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture
At the Headless Cross, at the Headless Cross
From the first evil night, when a black flash of light
cut the crucifix half to the ground
There's been no escape from the power of Satan
on a nation so brave and so proud
Listen for the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder
Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture
At the Headless Cross, at the Headless Cross
How do you feel, when the locks refuse the key
and the master is calling your name
Does the luck of the charm, really keep you from harm?
does the talisman protect you from pain?
Listen for the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder
Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture
At the Headless Cross, at the Headless Cross
From the first evil night, when a black flash of light
cut the crucifix half to the ground
There's no escaping the power of Satan
on a nation so brave and so proud
Listen for the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder
Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture, oh no, oh
At the Headless Cross, at the Headless Cross
At the Headless Cross, oh, at the Headless Cross
Where will you run to?
At the Headless Cross
Look, to the Headless Cross
2. Guilty as Hell
Step back and look at you, and tell me that is what you want to be,
You realise that what you're seeing, is a replica of me.
Inside my world is pretty grim, that even I can't survive in,
I wouldn't try 'cause I know you.
Deep inside you know you're guilty as Hell.
Deep inside you know you're guilty as Hell.
You realise that what you're seeing is just a replica of me,
Only me.
Oh it makes no difference if you're the only one,
It doesn't matter when all is said and done,
Gonna feel the same, God will put the blame on you.
Oh yeah.
If I was you, If I was you,
I'd wanna see, I'd wanna see inside my head,
I'd wanna know if I was fuckin dead,
I'd wanna know what's going on,
Someone tell me the truth.
There's no fear in a fallen Angel, there's no love in a heart made of stone,
There's no truth in a heart that is screaming,
Deep inside you're as guilty as Hell.
There's no fear in a fallen Angel, there's no love in a heart made of stone,
There's no truth in a heart that is screaming.
Deep inside you're as guilty as Hell.
You're guilty.
3. Virtual Death
Reach Out And Take For Me, Fruit Of The Poison Tree,
Give Me Your Body And Your Soul.
My Youth Is Fading Past, Years Melt Into The Past,
This Mortal Life Will Take It's Toll.
I'm Sick And Tired Of Losing, You Find This So Amusing,
It's All I Have To Keep Myself In This State I'm In.
This Spark Of Natures Fire, My Only One Desire,
This World Is Hanging By A Thread.
People Always Tried To Change Me, Alter Everying I Am,
Though You Find This So Amusing, You Left Me In This
State I'm In. Virtual Death.
You May Think This Existance, Is Just A Human Weakness,
Inside My Mind It's Near The End. Virtual Death.
I'm Losing, I'm Fading Fast, I'm Dying, Virtual Death.
4. Evil Eye
Something About The Way That You Look At Me,
You Watch Every Move, Every Step, Every Fantasy,
Got No Time For Love, There's Something In Your Mind,
Got The Face Of An Angel But The Stare Of A Devil Inside.
Got Hell Looking Up, Heaven Looking Down,
People Say The Woman's Got An Evil Eye.
Got Hell Looking Up, Heaven Looking Down,
Free Me From The Woman With The Evil Eye.
I Turn Away But Still I See That Evil Stare,
Trapped Inside My Dreams I Know You're There.
Thoughts Of Happiness You Destroyed Them All,
First Inside My Head, Then Inside My Soul.
Got Hell Looking Up, Heaven Looking Down,
People Say The Woman's Got An Evil Eye.
Got Hell Looking Up, Heaven Looking Down,
Free Me From The Woman With The Evil Eye.
5. When Death Calls
He saw the world, dim with the glow of the vertical sun
His skin crept cold knowing that this was the hours of dying
Misguided mortals, you'll burn with me
Spirit of man, cannot be freed.
When Death Calls - This is the hours of dying
When Death Calls - The spirit of man cannot be freed
When Death Calls - There's no tomorrow
When Death Calls - Just an evil shadow
Tell me not fear of the flames means that heaven is closer
For I believe Satan lives, in the souls of the dying
Misguided mortals, you'll burn with me
Spirit of man, cannot be freed.
When Death Calls - Heaven is closer
When Death Calls - Feel the heat of the flames from the souls of the dying
When Death Calls - here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
When Death Calls - You're gonna burn
Don't look in those sunken eyes
Don't look and you'll stay alive
Don't laugh at the face of death or your toungue will blister
Can't die until Satan says you die
And Satan takes your soul
In the face of death or your toungue will blister
Don't look in those sunken eyes
Don't look and you'll stay alive
Don't laugh at the face of death or your toungue will blister
Can't die until Satan says you die
The Devil takes your soul
With all his wrath he calls the reaper
When Death Calls - This is the hours of dying
When Death Calls - The spirit of man cannot be freed
When Death Calls - There's no tomorrow
When Death Calls - Just an evil shadow
When Death Calls - Feel the heat of the flames from the souls of the dying
When Death Calls - You're gonna burn, burn, burn
When Death Calls - Heaven is closer
When Death Calls - I can feel it, gonna take you down
6. The Battle Of Tyr
7. The Sabbath Stones
Fire and water, wind and rain
wings that carry hell in every vein
World possessions, endless taers
truth and knowledge stolen all their years
World turns slowly, sun don't shine
Silence stills the air and kills the chime
Words are poison, passion bleeds
2000 years on earth has sown the seeds
The time of dreams has turned
The night is gone and light shines on
Where darkness once would hide
With spirits high, our fears were born
CHORUS:
Receiver of light, the kingdom of God will guide you
Keep you from a restless heart
Deceiver of night, the stranger that laughs
within you, the reason for the restless heart
is the keeper of the Sabbath Stones
Fire and water, wind and rain
wings that carry hell in every vein
World turns slowly, sun don't shine
Silence stills the air and kills the chime
Can faith destroy desire? Each breath a prayer
each step brings fear
The eyes of they that see have evil stare
Watch over me
CHORUS
and He's the keeper of the Sabbath Stones
What God is this that stands to hear his people cry?
What hand would strike and watch his people die?
What life that takes, what future did we earn?
It's our mistakes, take heed the Sabbath Stones
What life that takes what future did we earn?
It's our mistakes
8. Kiss Of Death
This is no ordinary soul, that you're destroying,
Not just another life that drifts along with the sands of time.
We tried to show you on your way, but still, you cannot see,
you're hurting me You told too many lies and so it ends, yeah
You tried to touch me, but then I knew your plan,
You tried to take my world away, oh no,
Now I see it, it's as clear as day,
No you'll never stand a chance, oh no you'll never stand a chance.
You tried to lead me, to the land where you keep your lies,
But I've seen this read before, oh yeah,
There is no reason why I should listen now,
No you'll never stand a chance, oh no you'll never stand a chance.
So many people tried before, but still I came through stronger than before,
Someone like you will never get through my door no more,
Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible.
Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible. Yeah.
Every lie that you tell you get closer,
Closer to the edge of the Cauldron and in to the fire, yeah.
Every life you destroy will return, it will come back and haunt you,
For ever and ever.
Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible.
Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible. Yeah.
This is no ordinary soul that you're destroying,
Not just another life that drifts along with the sands of time.
9. Devil And Daughter
Silence is mocking the dawn of a new day
Devil and Daughter are both on their way
The evil of her nature collects in her eyes
With him there's no fear of the dawn bringing light
Baptised with fire, too wild to be tamed
She's hot, evil and ready to take any man
Let no one put assunder the power of the pain
He is the master of hell riding again
Devil and Daughter - pleasure and pain
Devil and Daughter - is this the end
A thousand times over, you'll hear on the wind
in the name of hell, these sinners never sinned
But Satan never listens to the words that they send
Drenching the soul with blood, when will it end
Devil and Daughter
he's got the power, she's got the pain
Devil and Daughter
She'll break any woman and take any man
Devil and Daughter
Hand in hand with the reaper
10. Valhalla
Leading us on, to the land of eternity
Riding the cold cold winds of Valhalla
The Kingdom of Odin is the Kingdom of Gods
Where only souls of the brave may rest in peace
But someone among them had the skill of deceit
And raised the hand that would open the road to Hel
CHORUS:
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
Be sure that the blood will start to flow
When the winds of Valhalla run cold
Valhalla
The ring has been broken and a soul must be saved
Among the bravest of men, who rides to Hel
The longships are sailing and the chariots ride
And yes the anger of Thor will serve you well
CHORUS
Raise your hands
reach and Valhalla will save your soul
Raise your eyes
and Odin will lead us on
They say that history repeats itself
upon the year of the seventh century
Well nobody knows, no you never can tell
So you'd better run now and hide away
