Nightcrawler

[Verse 1]
Howling winds keep screaming around
And the rain comes pouring down
Doors are locked and bolted now
As the thing crawls into town
[Chorus]
Straight out of hell
One of a kind
Stalking his victim
Don't look behind you
Night crawler
Beware the beast in black
Night crawler
You know he's coming back
Night crawler
[Verse 2]
Sanctuary is being sought
Whispered prayers our last resort
Homing in its cry distorts
Terror struck they know they're caught
[Chorus]
Straight out of hell
One of a kind
Stalking his victim
Don't look behind you
Night crawler
Beware the beast in black
Night crawler
You know he's coming back
Night crawler
[Verse 3]
As night is falling
The end is drawing near
They'll hear
Their last rites echo on the wind
[Bridge (Spoken)]
Huddled in the cellar
Fear caught in their eyes
Daring not to move or breathe
As the creature cries
Fingernails start scratching
On the outside wall
Clawing at the windows
Come to me it calls
Atmosphere's electric
As it now descends the stairs
Hiding in the darkness
Is so futile from its glare
Death comes in an instant
As they hoped it would
Souls ascend to heaven
While it feasts on flesh and blood

The Oath
04:20
|

Like a blade of a sword I am forged in flame
Fiery hot
Tempered steel fire-bright to the night I take
I fear not
Now compelled by something I cannot see
I go forth surrendering to history
Your glory, I swear I ride for thee
Your power, I trust it rides with me
Your servant, I am and ever shall I be
Through a dream
I have a come to an ancient door
Lost in the mist
I have been there a hundred times or more
Pounding my fists
Now inside, the fire of the ancient burns
A boy goes in and suddenly a man returns
Your glory, I swear I ride for thee
Your power, I trust it rides with me
Your servant, I am and ever shall I be
I gave my word and gained a key
I gave my heart and set it free
There's no turning back from this odyssey
Because I feel so alive suddenly
And I wonder, is this really me?
Like a blade of a sword I am forged in flame
Fiery hot
Tempered steel fire-bright to the night I take
I fear not
Now compelled by something I cannot see
I go forth surrendering to history
Your glory, I swear I ride for thee
Your power, I trust it rides with me
Your servant, I am and ever shall I be

Into the Pit
04:05

Bear witness to treason
Abeyance they cower
Compulsion of liars
Addicted to power
Into the pit
Into the pit
Conspiring for sation
Malfeasance on high
Obstruction of duty
Disorder will rise
Into the pit
Into the pit
Possession by force
Reprisal to task
Defenseless no longer
Expulsion by mass
Into the pit
Into the pit
Into the pit
Into the pit

It is 2045
The human race has to face it
They are confronted with the truth
It's secret, mysterious
A surgeon said it in the news
The human race is dying
But the result is no disease
Searching for you
Metal heart, metal heart
They found it everywhere
Metal heart, metal heart
Lifeless piece of steel
The scaring fact was even told
Total confusion
They found the same nightmare
Heartbeats, timebombs
Metal heart, metal heart
Unplugged they're dying
Metal heart, metal heart
Unplugged they die
Metal heart, metal heart
They found it everywhere
Metal heart, metal heart
Lifeless piece of steel
Metal heart, metal heart, metal heart
Unplugged they're dying
Metal heart, metal heart

I`ve got pictures of naked ladies, lying on their beds
I whiff that smell and sweet convulsion
Starts-a-swelling inside my head
I`m making artificial lovers for free, I start to howl, I`m in heat
I moan and growl and the hunt drives me crazy- I f**k like a beast
I come round, round, I come feel your love (like an animal)
Tie you down, down, I come steal your love (like an animal)
I`m on the prowl and I watch you closely, I lie waiting for you
I`m the wolf in the sheepskin`s clothing
I lick my chops and you`re tasting good
I do whatever I want to, to ya, I`ll nail your ass to the sheets
A pelvic thrust and the sweat starts to sting ya- I f**k like a beast
I come round, round, I come feel your love (like an animal)
Tie you down, down, I come steal your love (like an animal)
Come ride savage seduction, ride, ride ride
I come round, round, I come feel your love (like an animal)
Tie you down, down, I come steal your love (like an animal)
Animal

Son of a Bitch

You make the stars, illusions and dreams
You`re what you are, if you know what I mean
I hear you clear, see in your eyes
Lying to please, it pleases to lie
You say it`s your way
You say we`ll make it right to the top
Your bullshit gets me, what have you got
I don`t believe a word you say, you make me laugh- get outta my way
You say it`s your way, now listen to what I think of you
Son of a bitch, kiss my ass
Son of a bitch
Son of a bitch, you asshole
Son of a bitch
Cocksuckin´ motherfucker, I was right- take this
Son of a bitch, kiss my ass
Son of a bitch
Son of a bitch, you asshole
Son of a bitch
Cut you three times below the ass, too short to shit
Two-timing son of a dog

Black Metal

Black is the night, metal we fight
Power amps set to explode
Energy screams, power and dreams
Satan records the first note
We chime the bell, chaos and hell
Metal for maniacs pure
Fast melting steel, fortune on wheels
Brain hemorrhage is the cure
for Black metal, lay down your souls to the gods rock`n roll
Freaking so wild, nobody`s mild
Giving it all that you got
Wild is so right, metal tonight
Faster than over the top
Open the door, enter hell`s core
Black is the code for tonight
Atomic force, feel no remorse
Crank up the amps, now it`s night
Black metal, lay down your souls to the gods rock`n roll
Metal tenfold through the deadly black hole
Riding hell`s stallions bareback and free
Taking our chances with raw energy
Come ride the night with us, rock hard and fight
United my legions we stand
Freak hard and wild with us, give up your souls
Live for the guest Satan`s band
Against the odds, black metal gods
Fight to achieve our goal
Casting a spell, leather and hell
Black metal gods rock`n roll
Building up steam, nuclear screams
Warheads are ready to fight
Black leather hounds, faster than sound
Metal our purpose in life
Black metal, lay down your souls to the gods rock`n roll
Black metal

This is a song which
I use to describe what I feel
About people like you
No sense for humanity, no idea about life
This premise has been proved
You used my trust to satisfy your brainless lust
Your word isn't worth
More than puke in the dust
Betrayer
Betrayer
Misleader, you twisted things to satisfy
Deceiver, this greedy lust you can't deny
Betrayer
Betrayer
How could I be so naive
To believe all the lies
You so easily told
I think I've learned my lesson too late
The story took time to unfold
Now I see your true face
Behind your mask, a cheat, a fake
Your word isn't worth more than puke in the dust
Betrayer
Betrayer
Ignorant twisted mind
Maybe it would help
To think before you speak from time to time
Pretend to be a friend of mine
You would sell your mother if you could
For less than a dime
Intelligence lost,
Brain deceased,
So you will loose,
Fall to your knees,
Guys like you I cannot stand
Maybe I must speak another language
Before you understand
Misleader, you twisted things to satisfy
Deceiver, this greedy lust you can't deny
Betrayer
Betrayer!

In League With Satan
03:05
|

I`m in league with Satan, I was raised in hell
I walk the streets of Salem, amongst the living dead
I need no one to tell me what`s wrong or right
I drink the blood of children, stalk my prey at night
Look out, beware when the full moon`s high and bright
In every way I`m there, in every shadow in the night
Cause I`m evil, in league with Satan
Cause I`m evil, in league with Satan
I`m in league with Satan, obey his commands
With the goat of Mendes sitting at his left hand
I`m in league with Satan, I love the dead
No one prayed for Sodom as the people fled
I`m in league with Satan, I am the master`s own
I drink the juice of women as the lie alone
I`m in league with Satan, I bear the devil`s mark
I kill the newborn baby, tear the infant`s flesh
Look out, beware when the full moon`s high and bright
In every way I`m there, in every shadow in the night
Cause I`m evil, in league with Satan
Cause I`m evil, in league with Satan

Sleeping (in the fire)
03:54

Touch, touch in the flame`s desire, feeling the pain`s denial
And your finger`s in the fire
Look, look in the candlelight, see in the flame of life
And my spell is our lie
Taste the love, the Lucifer`s magic that makes you numb
The passion and all the pain are one, you`re sleeping in the fire
Taste the love, the Lucifer`s magic that makes you numb
You feel what it does and you`re drunk on love
You`re sleeping in the fire
I gaze as the flame and fire burn
And cry out the name of which I yearn
Taste the love, the Lucifer`s magic that makes you numb
The passion and all the pain are one, you`re sleeping in the fire
Taste the love, the Lucifer`s magic that makes you numb
You feel what it does and you`re drunk on love

"Eye of the Witch"
It`s so cold inside on this summer`s night
Black clouds in the sky dancing before my eyes
I`m losing track of time
It`s the eye of the witch, it`s the eye of the witch
Thunder bring the rain, penetrate my brain
I am no more the same, that special night has come again
Losing track of time
It`s the eye of the witch, the eye...the eye...the eye...
Another glass of wine, to heat the blood of mine
And as I look inside the necklace called the eye
I`m going back in time
It`s the eye of the witch, it`s the eye of the witch
The eye...the eye...the eye...
