02. 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 an angel that fell from the sky.
Borne on the air, lot of 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 tallisman 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 from the power of Satan.
For a people 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,
(Headless Cross), at the Headless Cross
(At the Headless Cross), ohh, at the Headless Cross.

Where will you run to, at the Headless Cross
Look, to the Headless Cross

03. 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 the pain
He is the master of hell, riding again
(Ahahahah)
Devil and Daughter - pleasure and pain.
(Ahahahah)
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?
(Ahahahah)
Devil and Daughter - Oh he's got the power, she's got the pain.
(Ahahahah)
Devil and Daughter - She'll break any woman and take any man, ohh-oh.
(Ahahahah)
Devil and Daughter - Hand in hand with the reaper.

04. When Death Calls

He saw the world, dim with glow of the vertical sun
His skin crept cold, knowing that this is the hours of dying
Misguided mortals you'll burn with me
Spirit of man cannot be free

When Death calls - This is the hours of dying
When Death calls - The spirit of man can't be freed
When Death calls - Ohohoh, there's no tommorrow
When Death calls - Oh, just an evil shadow. Ohoh. Oh.

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 free

When Death calls - Ahh, Heaven/Hell 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 in the face of Death or your tongue will blister
Can't die until Satan says you'll die
And Satan takes your soul, in the face of Death, or you're tongue will blister

Don't look in those sunken eyes
Don't look and you stay alive
Don't laugh in the face of Death or your tongue will blister
Can't die til 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 can't be free
When Death calls - Ahahahoh, there's no tommorrow
When Death calls - Just an evil shadow, 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, oh no
When Death calls - Heaven is closer
When Death calls - I can feel it, it's gonna take you down
When Death calls - Can you hear it calling you
When Death calls - Tell me, tell me, ahhh won't you say it?
When Death calls - Ain't gonna send us down. Ahh.

05. Kill In The Spirit World

There's something wrong, there's a chill in the air
And the blood in my vein's running colder.
The Eastern sky is beginning to silver
And the words that you speak start to falter.
The seal is broken, the oath has been crossed,
In the house of the dead there's a taker.
Some say that this is the ultimate sin
When the spirit world turns to the alter.

There's been a kill in the spirit world
There's been a kill in the spirit world

Behold the dead, clutching at fading hands, out of reach forever
"In glory die" calls the voice from the void
You assasin has cursed every spectre
The seal is broken, the oath has been crossed,
And the house of the dead seeks the master
Stretching every muscle, I wait for the end
And the kiss on the wind whispers murder, (murder)

There's been a kill in the spirit world
There's been a kill in the spirit world
There's been a kill in the spirit world

When heaven is closer, it's pleasure and pain
Blood kill in the spirit world ah

Did ya see another in black
Is the blood in your veins running colder?
If ya did, then there's no turing back
As the spirit world turns to the alter.
The seal is broken, the oath has been crossed,
And the house of the dead seeks the master
Stretching every muscle, I wait for the end
And a kiss on the wind whispers murder

There's been a kill in the spirit world
There's been a kill in the spirit world

Oh here it comes, no no no-oh oh
Your seal is broken, the Eastern sky is beginning to silver, oh oh oh.
There's something wrong, there's a chill in the air, ah.
You feel the evil, I feel the evil.
Oh somebody whispers murder.

A kiss on the wind whispers murder

06. Call Of The Wild

In this last and final hour, you can't hide
There's nowhere now that you can run
All eyes are on you, like a lost eternal light
Princes and kings, and demons with wings
Summon your fears from hell.

It's the call of the wild
Calling you

In this last macabre hour, witches cry
And turn to dust before the moon
Many spirits are lost forever, one survives
To call the tune of Lucifer

It's the call of the wild
Calling me/you

Hero, only in the grave are there no dreams ah.
Hero, don't believe in fate, it ain't what it seems, oh

. All you gotta do now is stay free, oh
You're the one they turn to when Hell screams, oh.

Fear of the Devil, has no place among the brave
Faced with pain, there's a battle to be won
All eyes are on you, like a lost eternal light
Princes and kings, demons with wings
Summon your fears from hell.

It's the call of the wild
Calling me/you

Hero, only in the grave are there no dreams
Hero, don't believe in fate, it ain't what it seems

Hero, only in the grave are there no dreams
Hero, don't believe in fate, it ain't what it seems

Hero, you got the fear of the Devil
Hero, oh, burning your soul
Hero, it's the call of the wild
Hero, oh, tearing your soul

07. Black Moon

Oh the Devil, is rising with the moon, he cries and my blood runs cold
Oh no never was the darkness so black, no light and nowhere to go.
My spirit is crying for a love so tired of being alone
I remember he came here to steal, and you, the stealer of souls.

I see a Black Moon rising, and it's calling out my name
Oh it's calling my name.

I've been blinded, lost and confused, darkness will call me no more
Aye, Heaven is no friend of mine, no god ever knocked on my door

I see a Black Moon rising, and it's calling out my name
It's calling out my name, oh, it's calling

I see a Black Moon rising, and it's calling out my name
Oh it's calling my name.

I'm standing, on the dark side of time, reaching for the palm of your hand
She's weaving an unholy light and calls from Lucifer's land

I see a Black Moon rising, and it's calling out my name
An angel of hell is rising, heaven's no friend of mine
I see a Black Moon rising, and it's calling out my name

I see a Black Moon rising, and it's causes so much pain
An angel of hell is rising, heaven's no friend of mine
I see a Black Moon rising, and it's calling out my name

My spirit's crying for love
Heaven's no friend of mine, angel of hell is rising

See a Black Moon rising.

08. Nightwing

Nightwing has stirred, and taken to flight
The silence is over, he's shattered the night
No other hunter has the power or the grace
He is the master of this place

Tell every creature of the night
The kill is around the bend
So listen my friend
Nightwing flies again

They say he comes, for those whose souls are weak
And call his name upon the wind.
The night is cold and thick with mystery
Oh I can feel his beating wings

Tell every creature of the night
The kill is around the bend
Nightwing flies again

Tell every creature of the night
The kill is around the bend
Nightwing flies again
Nightwing has stirred, and taken to flight
The silence is over, he's shattered the night
Life ain't for giving and forgivin' ain't free
No soul will rest while the hunted run free

So tell every creature of the night
The kill is aroung the bend
Listen my friend
Nightwing flies again
