1. Doomed by the Living Dead
I'm back again, back in the evil night, and your waiting Doomed by the living Dead, flames are rising, can’t you see that you're dying
The wolves are howlin’, a baby's cry in the distance, cold winds blowing, in the dead of night, flames are rising cant you see that I’m dying.
No way to survive this evil night, if the dead won't leave you alone So just say good by the all your holy angels, your gonna die
Long Black hair, face like a dead,
I am here, Satan in my head
You cant see nothing but confusing mirrors, now you feel it, It's getting nearer, flames are rising, cant you see that your dieing
So dark in your mind, breath of Satan in my back, I cant help you cause I’m one of the dead, flames are rising cant you see that your dying
No way to survive this evil night, when the dead wont leave you alone.
So just say goodbye to all your fuckin' angels
2. A Corpse Without A Soul
Listen, I’m a corpse, I’m a corpse, I’m a corpse without soul
Satan, he’s taken, he’s taken, he’s taken his tool
And he took it out on me
I, I’m trapped, I’m trapped, I’m trapped in his spell
Tonight, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going to Hell, inside his spell
I was walking down among the graves, I heard a cry, my shadow was gone
Emptiness in my body, I felt so Alone, Small black wings on my naked back
Now guess what I saw on one of the stones, I saw my soul, in a magical haze
It was all dressed up a corpse in a wedding dress
Small black wings on my naked back, now hear my prayer, beggin' for mercy
I’m living to die, Satan has taken his toll
3. Nuns Have No Fun
Upon a cross a nun will be hanged, she will be raped by an evil man, knock spikes through her hands, things won't come she won't understand
You’re a nun you haven’t had no fun, living your life as a virgin queen
I'm going to change it and I'll get it don, tomorrow you wont be a virgin queen.
C.U.N.T. that’s what you are, you’re a C.U.N.T. yeah
I'll get it up, I'll get it up in the dark, I make her feel I'm not a holy man Faster breathing she’s like a shark she wants more I'm gonna give my cross
Nuns have not fun, they just have their fathers and sons, but I’ll give them hell, I never fail
Nuns have no fun, they just have their fathers and sons, but I’ll give them hell, I never fail
I get it up, I get it up in the dark I make her feel I’m not a holy man Faster breathing she’s like a shark she wants more I’m going to give her my cross
C.U.N.T. that’s what you are, you're C.U.N.T. yeah
4. Evil
I was born in the cemetery under the sign of the moon
Raised from my grave by the dead
I was made a mercenary in the legions of hell
Now I’m king of pain I’m insane
You know my only pleasure is to hear you cry
I'd love to hear you cry
I'd love to feel you die
And I’ll be the first to watch your funeral and I’ll be the last to leave
I'd love to hear you cry
And when you’re down beyond the ground
I'll dig up your body again and make love to shame
Oh lady cry, and say goodbye
Oh lady cry, and say goodbye
You've gotta say goodbye
'Cause i'll eat your mind
5. 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 breaking the seals and disturbing the peace
Then you're startin' up a curse brining 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 making it all shady
6. Into the Coven
Howl like wolf and a witch
Will open the door
Follow me and meet our high priestess
Come, come into my coven
And become Lucifer's child
Undress until you're naked
And but on this white coat
Take this white coat and go to the middle of the ring
Come, come into my coven and become Lucifer's child
Suck the blood from this unholy knife
Say after me: my soul belongs to Satan
Now, now you’re into my coven
You are Lucifer’s child
Into the coven
Lucifer’s child
7. Black Funeral
Bring the black box to the alter
now raise your hand and do the sign
All hail Satan, yes Hail Satan
Law down your swords, the evil star
It a Black Funeral, she was a victim of my coven
Open the black box on the alter
Her blood is still hot, so let it out
Oh hail Satan, yes hail Satan
Now drink it, now drink, drink, forget that whore
Its a black funertal she was a victim of my coven
8. Satan's Fall
They're walking by the night
The moon has frozen blue
Long black coats a shelter from the rain
Their load must get through
Now bats are leaving threes
They're joining the call
Seven satanic Hell preachers
Heading for the hall
Bringing the blood of a new born child, got so succeed if not its satans fall
Home....Come home
Evil messengers with blood stained ways wings
Home...come home
home...come home
Is it Satan's fall?
No, its Satan's call
Craniums high on stakes
It's Satan's epigraph
Something you can't erase...666
Craniums high on stakes
It's Satan's epigraph
Something you can't erase...666
They call him the beast
Use your demon eyes, uncover the disguise
Time is out yeah, I dont need your god
Oh the law of Satan
Pray and obey it forever
Oh the law of Satan
Innocent lovers...it's a lie
Iron fist won't do no good against the evil eyes
Of seven holy Hell preachers, dont you even try
Now they croos the river Styx and see the castle rise So high
Waiting on the other shore for Charon to arrive
A shape with horns and glowing eyes, Satan's still alive
he recives hte sarifive with evil laughs and pride
You better escape, you've got escape
You cannot escape
9. A Dangerous Meeting
Tonight the circle is meeting again
Who will be the first to fall in trance
Is here nobody sensing the rain
Tonight a spirit will glance
So as they're aapproching ghostly hour
Seven people here are joining hands
They think they know the spirit to appeat
Contact, the table starts to dance
Time, is standing still
It's a dangerous meeting
They're gonna get themesvles killed
Tonight the circle is broken forever
Seven people dead within a trance
In here nobody is sensing the rain
Tonight seven souls are reaching hell
Time, is standing still
The meeting is over
Their journey is one
Oh, they should have known
Not to play with the powers of Hell
Some people have lost their way some people have lost their mind
Oh, yes their mind
10. Desecration of Souls
Stay away white magician, youn lovers
and mouring wife
You're not welcome on our land
So I speak for the dead
Magic circles drawn after midnight
Around graves to be opened
He'll use the wand to raise a body
He'll ask the questions and he'll burn the remaons
It's desecration of souls in their holy lair
Copulation in the night
Two shadows upon a grave
Screams of pleasure and screams of pain
Young lovers, you must be insane
It's desercration of souls in their holy lair
So I say it again, stay away, it's desecration of souls
Dyin' flowers upon the grave
Of husband who's lost his maid
She's there on duty, and the tears she cries
They don't belong where the flowers lie
It's desecration of souls in their holy lair
So I say it again, Stay away, it's desecration fo souls
11. Gypsy
This magic winter night I see a light
Again I hear that tune, some sort of croon
Oh no no no, oh my brain
I see them gypsy wagons left in the snoww
Oh I must see the lady, I have to know
Gypsy women let me inside
They say you know th secret, secret of time
So gaze into your crystal and tell me all you see
Gypsy women let me know
"Oh my son you were never gone
You are the Devil's child, and so am I"
12. 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: Hank Shermann
If you say Heaven, I say a castle of lies
You say forgive him, I say revenge
My sweet Satan, you are the one
13. Burning the Cross
Riding out and summed up for they know no destination
Demons and witches are leading their processions
Breaking religion by burning the cross
Breaking religion, burning the cross
Traveling in darkness, afraid of recognition
Evil ambitions, they’re planning the destruction
Breaking religion by burning the cross
Breaking religion, burning the cross
Oh you gotta see them riding through the darkness and stay in the night
Unholy light
You gotta see them riding through the darkness and stay in the night
Unholy light

Doomsday infections
In their heads and in their minds
Doomsday reflections
Above the clouds high in the sky
Doomsday infections
In their heads and in their minds
You’ll be burning the cross
14. Return of the Vampire
A suicide
The birth of a vampire
Fresh in his lair
Spreading the veil
He’ll spread his wings
Leaving at sunset
Fly high and low
Back before sun’s glow
Return of the vampire
Leaving his liar
Sucking your blood through your veins
Return of the vampire
Leaving his liar
Sucking your blood through your veins
There’s only one way you can stop him
You gotta trace the vampire to his liar, oh yeah
And then you gotta drive the stake
Right through the heart of the living dead, oh yeah
Oh I can feel you living again
Vampire I’m losing control
Vampire just give me your cloak
Vampire I’m losing control
Vampire just give me your cloak
