1. CARMILLA

The nocturnal carriage arrived again
She was looking for another lady friend
The young girl, lying fainted upon the ground
A wolf in sheep's clothing had come around
Had we known that day
We would have sent her away
That night she came our of her grave
One look in her eyes and a young girl is her slave
Carmilla is coming to stay
When Laura was a child she thought she had a dream
All of a sudden she began to scream
The first time she had suffered the vampire's bite
She had met Carmilla in her room that night
A portrait... 1698
200 years... is that Carmilla's face?
That night she came out of the grave
One look in her eyes and a young girl is her slave
Carmilla is coming to stay
Why did the funeral hymn make her fly into a rage?
And what is her real age?
Why does she sleep in the day and vanish into the night?
She seems to shun the daylight
The nightmares came again, poor Laura
A black cat... enters her room each night
The beast would turn into a lady
After Laura had the vampire's bite
The lady would turn to go, then fade away
Laura's health declined more each day
"The oupire is going through the woods just like the wolf"
Some would say
The revenant slept in her coffin when it was the day
If Laura was to live there was the one and the only way
They found the blood-liner coffin where Carmilla slept by day
...stake through the heart and with a sword, struck her head away
Sometimes even to this day
Laura can hear her voice from far away
That night she came out of her grave
One look in her eyes and a young girl is her slave... Carmilla has come to stay


2. A MEETING IN THE WOODS

Walking in the woods night midnight
I will tell you a dreadful tale
My eyes were blasted full by the sight
Of shapes now loosed, once pent in hell
Tonight's the gathering to worship Satan as Lord
As a young girl spreads naked on the altar like a whore
Black Goat of One Thousand Young will sow his seed
On the infant's flesh the succubi... they will feed
Thinking back to my Faith, she begged me
"Don't go out to leave on this night"
Now I crouch in fear hiding myself
If they don't get me, I'll die of fright
Tonight's the gathering to worship Satan as Lord
As a young girl spreads naked on the altar like a whore
Black Goat of One Thousand Young will sow his seed
On the infant's flesh the succubi... they will feed
Then the high priest, he turned to speak and point at me
"There he is now, hiding in the dark behind that tree
Someone has come to join us now and take communion
He shall come to witness now this unholy union"
Witches and warlocks drank the blood from a dying child
They opened up a door to hell and called into the wild
When I heard those names, I could not take a step
Yog-Sothoth, Pazuzu and Nyarlathotep
...and there I stood still frozen and now under their spell
Amidst the witches and all the shapes they called up from Hell
An orgy of lamiae and humans writhed onto the ground
And headless moon-calves bleated with an awful sound
The high priest held out a book of damned names
And dipped into blood a feathered quill
I signed my name with the blood of our dead child
All of this against my will
Tonight's the gathering to worship Satan as Lord
As faith, the young girl spreads naked on the altar like a whore
Black Goat of One Thousand Young will sow his seed
On the infant's flesh the succubi... they will feed


3. VAMPIRE HUNTER, 1600

Upon my mighty steed I ride, sword and pistol at my side
To cast evil from this world back into darkness it must be hurled
Not just the blood this time, but the vampire takes their youth away
Not just when the moon is high, they can go forth in the day
Shadow on the crucifix, plague on the land, withered and sick
I have come and I will slay all who take fair beauties' youth away
Man of god whom fear will not faze
Viewing my world through a hashish haze
I have grown to know their evil ways
I will fight them till the end of my days
Not just the blood this time, but the vampire takes their youth away
Not just when the moon is high, they can go forth in the day
Necromantic arts passed down the lineage of Karnstein, evil renown
Brought back to life undead "the greatest swordsman ever", it was said
An imposing cross of metal in the graveyard upon the hill
Forged upon the anvil into a holy sword of steel
Inside the castle walls, the deadly sword play commences
The blades move so fast, that they reel the senses
A helpless victim waiting idly in hypnotic trance
Time, it stands still in this world, as life and death dance
Finally my sword pierced his black heart, the vampire met his end
It was not just the sword of steel, but my faith that helped me drive it in


4. THE RIGHT HAND OF DOOM

The Sorcerer sat in his cell waiting on the end
Betrayed by the one he once called a friend
Black and foul were the Magician's deeds
Blacker yet in sowing his vengeance seeds
The Necromancer bade the guard "Draw your sword, strike off my hand
In this no harm shall fall on you, but don't, and you'll be damned
My life, it ends at the break of day, but Judas he will pay"
Mortified the guard, he drew his sword and cut the Wizard's hand away
No escaping The Right Hand of Doom
The Sorcerer cast his hand out the window of his cell
Laughing aloud as he summoned the powers of Hell
He spake in a tongue opening up Hell's gate
Dark forces to seal his betrayer's fate
On And on the words rang out the Old Ones taught to man
From a time when Lamiae stalked the earth, and the All-Night ruled the land
On and on his chants intoned but no one around there saw
The doom evoked by the words he spoke, as the hand began to crawl
No escaping The Right Hand Of Doom
Through the forest the Warlock's hand, it crawled and crawled
To kill a traitor dreaming in his troubled bed
IA! Black Goat of One Thousand Young
They hung a man a 'swingin' from the gallows, He went to his death missing his right hand
At the tavern there was talk among the fellows, They said he strained like he was strangling a man, Right Hand of Doom


5. THE EXORCISM OF TANITH

The priest, he had been called for; the young girl, she is not well
They say she speaks of these things, only seen through eyes in hell
She's not been the same, since they heard her on the mountain-top
Calling out her father's name
You can't cast out what you don't know
They'll deliver your faith the crushing blow
Yog-Sothoth is the gate... is the key
The Great Old Ones will be set free
The holy man then arrived there in from the pouring down rain
He heard demonic laughter, he heard Tanith cry out in pain
Objects in the room moved themselves around and thereabout
Upon her body appeared strange runes
They can't cast out what you don't know
They'll delver your faith the crushing blow
Yog-Sothoth is the gate... is the key
The Great Old Ones will be set free
The priest said his prayers, the litany and the psalm
Holy water was sprinkled-staring, the girl remained calm
As she entered into his mind, he filled with lust... so easily taken by the succubus
All evil had now broken the priest of his power
He hung himself in a graveyard at the Witching Hour
It's midnight... needs a fix
She's got an urge that she can't live without, She pleasures herself with a crucifix, You can't cast out what you don't know
They'll deliver your faith the crushing blow
Yog-Sothoth is the gate... is the key
The Great Old Ones will be set free


6. ALL-HALLOWED VENGEANCE

The red sun sets beyond the hill
And inky shadows creep and crawl
Across the graveyard winds blow chill
As darkness settles like a pall
There is strange evil in the night
The screech-owl sings a mournful tune
Where marble tombs stand stark and white
Beneath the cold and pallid moon
This is the night the druids ply
Their wild and ancient sorceries
Invoking dark things from the sky
To grant their chanted, vengeful pleas
O you who've caused lost souls to grieve
And pass away in hopeless hate
Know that upon this Hallow's Eve
A dreadful doom shall be your fate
Though you may chat defensive spells
Invoking spirits to forfend
The threat of dark, impending hells
You'll not evade your destined end
This is the night the druids ply
Their wild and ancient sorceries
Invoking dark things from the sky
To grant their chanted, vengeful pleas
O you who've caused lost souls to grieve
And pass away in hopeless hate
Know that upon this Hallow's Eve
A dreadful doom shall be your fate


7. KARNSTEIN CASTLE

There is a house on the edge of the forest
And it is steeped in sin
Therein dwells an unmarried woman
And she lets in lots of men
Another victim has been found drained of blood
Not far from her abode
Tonight the fires kindle for her
They will... they will cleanse her soul
Call the brotherhood together, they will decide
Who is to live, and who is to die
Black witchery upon the land
Good men die by the Devil's hand
Vampires and witches drink their fill
Then back to the black castle upon the hill
Karnstein Castle is gorged with devils
It is spoken of the infamous revels
Succubi and Lamiae hold their court
Young maidens tortured just for sport
Fair woman become the Satyr's slave
And a suicide won't stay in her grave
Brought back to walk the earth again
And drink the blood of god-fearing men
There is a women, and she makes them all nervous
Never do they see her at the church service
Charge her with your horses and run her right down
If she lives, for the fire at the stake she is bound
Obedience to god, these sinners have to learn
Tie one to the stake, the rest can watch her burn
The minions of Lord Lucifer scourge the land
And laugh to the dirge of the damned
Call the Brotherhood together, they will decide
Who is to live, and who is to die
Black witchery upon the land
Good men die by the Devil's hand
Vampires and witches drink their fill
Then back to the black castle upon the hill
Karnstein Castle is gorged with devils
It is spoken of the infamous revels
Succubi and Lamiae hold their court
Young maidens tortured just for sport
Fair women become the Satyr's slave
And a suicide won't stay in her grave
Brought back to the walk the earth again
And drink the blood of god-fearing men
Sultry seductress with silky, white skin
In her funeral gown, you stand paralyzed
Unable to flee, now hypnotized
She toyed with you, her prey she caught fresh
Now her teeth sink like daggers into your flesh
Put into your coffin but you shall arise
Stalking the earth until each sunrise
Abiding in the castle of the Karnstein clan, In orgies obscene to god and man
The time has come to make a stand
Or I tell the future of thee of this land
Ignorant Christians' victims can die by fire
Not so, when it comes to the vampire
The only way to destroy the undead horde-a-stake through the heart and put them to the sword
