The Well of Souls

I bind unto myself today the strong name of The Trinity

Crypt of despair, the old man is there
Forming a circle of magic and prayers
Guarding the well, the black hole to Hell
Its evil must never arise, I can tell

Holy mission
Forever he's sworn to protect our world from hatred and scorn
He will not fear though the Sabbath is near
Twelve strokes for candlemass, darkness descends

Break the circle and all hell comes loose
The well of souls must stay sealed
Ancient force of light against the dark
The well of souls must stay sealed

Black wind burns out the candles
the air grows cold and threatening
Dark shadows, wicked laughter
Brings darkness to your heart
Behold the goat of Mendes ...red burning evil eyes
Lord's prayer, Holy water
Just faith can save you now

Disharmony, satanic serenade
Black symphony, a tribute to the plague
The twisted souls awakened by the chanting
Unchained at last ...rise, they will now rise

A new day's dawn, Holy light

Sunlight redeems
Slays the dark, warms and heals
Makes you see nightmares' terror is back in your dreams
Sleep well, my friend, 'cause this tale's now to end
Don't believe our world is as safe's we pretend

♰ ♰ ♰

At the Gallows End

Sunrise, I greet you, the beauty of your light
So warm and tender was never the night
In tears I see you, the last time it will be
So give me your blessing, I'll meet my destiny

No rest for the Sinner
Hypnos refused me my sleep
This was the last night of my life
With wine I pondered on my deeds
I drank to the devil with servants
It's good with a friend where you go
No one would share my last chalice
So I drink to the ones that I know

Ring, brother, ring for me
Ring the bells of hope and faith
Ring for my damnation
I am at the gallows end

With sad emotions I sing this epitaph
My swansong, my headstone, the farewell of my heart
The hills of Tyburn, up where the gallows stand
Only the vultures will come to see me hang

Behold the sight of my Golgatha
The gallows enlightened by the moon
Proud of his art are the carpenter
His creation a tool for my doom
I am the outcast, no winner
I am the fallen, the one
That lived all his life as a sinner
The Tempter has called me his son

Soon it is time the dark has now fled
And I see the place for my death
The priest, he will pray for my lost soul
I'm sure he's wasting his time
A sinner, a fool or a devil ...or just a victim of life
It's no fun to burn in Hell's fire
But I sure have enjoyed my life

Ring, brother, ring for me
Ring the bells of hope and faith
Ring for my damnation
I am at the gallows end

♰ ♰ ♰

Dark Are the Veils of Death

Death is present, the candle has burned out
The scythe is raised, He's eager to reap
The extreme unction prepares for the last flight
But God knows where you will rest
Dark are the veils of death

To sail the seas of eternal damnation
To cross the desert of woe and despair
Or drink the chalice of divine ambrosia
Your life will be put to the test
Dark are the veils of death

Enter the great adventure, just wait and see
Heaven or Hell will call you now when your spirit's free
Where can your salvation be now when your spirit is free

Fading light, disappearing light
Tells you darkness is to come
Ancient rites, the death-mass itself
Has never revealed where you will go

You will enter realms where angels fear to tread
Open hidden doors within your mind
Sail with Charon, sail into destiny
Accept your death and make it to your own choice

♰ ♰ ♰

Bewitched

Can't you see the devil in me?
Just take a look in my eyes
I will play for you this wicked melody
It's magic will reach for your soul

It burns inside, no place to hide
This strange tune possesses your mind
It comes over you and the nightmare is true
You'll enter the realm of the dark
You are bewitched...

Bewitched by delight, you'll reach the night
Dancing and singing to my fiddle
So take my hand and understand
That no one will see you again
You are bewitched...

I am the master of the enchanted tune
I'll play for your joy, for your soul, for your doom
My fingers, they dance upon the strings like fire
Weaving a spell of my burning desire

Sing with me, meet your destiny
Set yourself free to the magic
So come with me, my kingdom to see
Believe me... you're captured, my friend
You are bewitched...

♰ ♰ ♰
