Lyrics

1. EVIL CATHEDRAL

The Finder!
He comes to your village this day
Braying for witch to slay
Your daughter your sister your wife
He knows what's right

The Evil Cathedral is beckoning him
The Evil Cathedral is beckoning him

The hunt!
They gather the pagans the evil ones
But one lady stands far away
She's dressed in black but her eyes
They shine with dark light

The Evil Cathedral is beckoning him
The Evil Cathedral is beckoning him

Witches burning at the stake
Evil lasts forever
Burn them outside the Cathedral
Evil lasts forever
All right now!

The war!
Baying banshees now descend
The Witchfinder helpless he pleads
Too late his head's raised on a stake
The Cathedral incinerates oh yeah!


2. GLINT OF THE KNIFE

The nighttime spews fog
A portal opens wide
The corrupter of all fate is summoned
He's come to take a life
Your life!

He hides in the alleys
Under a gas lamp
Stalks helpless victim
You won't stand a chance
Hear the bell chime
See the glint of the knife
Is that him behind you?
Run for your life!

The cobbled streets of London
Will never feel safe again
His evil lasts undying
Until the portal decays

...at the end of time!


3. THE GAUNTLET

A deadly game
Trapped in a maze
Can you escape?

The further you dwell
You feel you're in hell
What is this place?

Watched from all sides
In constant disguise
Will you survive?

Minotaurs creep
Dead voices screech
Do you take the leap?

Turn around quick
Dragon flames lick
Which path should you take?

No hope and no fear
Deep into the lair
Do you know what's at stake?

Your life you defend
What's at the end?
And what will you find?

Break through the wall
Cavernous hall
Doors chain behind

Ha ha ha ha!
You can't escape
Fight until death!

The Gauntlet
Enter and you will see

Got breakout
Choose your destiny
The Gauntlet
Enter at you own risk
Can you escape?
Got to break the chains

Break the chains
The Gauntlet!


4. BLOODY NIGHT

They kicked us out after closing
A nasty brawl erupts
Bodies hit the ground
Women screaming and goading
Leather clad maniacs
Let loose on the streets
oh yeah!

Bloody night
Dirty fight!
The streets are doomed
But we're alright
Hey darling
Better hold on tight
Gunna be another
Bloody night

Running wild mean and greasy
Fist fighting chains whip
Our lives on the line

No one's winning or losing
But we'll keep on fighting
Until the bloody end
oh yeah!

Bloody night
Dirty fight!
The streets are doomed
But we're alright
Hey darling
Better hold on tight
Gunna be another
Bloody night!

It's getting closer to midnight
It's that time again
It's drawing closer to midnight
Let violence reign yeah!

Bloody nights
Bloody nights
Bloody night
Bloody night


5. HEATHEN CASTLE

Cold clings to the air
A night so still and black
One man walks alone in silence
Never looking back
The heathen castle
Silhouetted in moonlight

The mage raises his head
he's come to claim his right

Mandrake!
Sorcerer upon the hill
Make haste
Fight with all your will

Gargoyles screech and dive
From the castles highest tower
The evil seeks to protect
The source of its power
The wizard battles on
His staff raised to the sky
He casts the draw bridge open
and he ventures deep inside


6. THE FLIGHT

(Instrumental)


7. TALISMAN

(Instrumental)


8. THE SACRIFICE

Sleeping village
Peaceful and green
Inside a stone circle
Where ancient laylines meet
They hide a secret
A ceremony
It must be held
For the dark lord to be appeased

Let the blood run red
At the sacrifice
Blood is sprayed
As the offering is set alight

Beautiful Maiden
Of royal blood
Fulfil your duties
Be delivered to our gods!

Let the blood run red
At the sacrifice tonight
Blood is sprayed
As the offering is set alight
The Sacrifice

Towns people circle
They're dressed in red
A pentagram is drawn
Upon the altar bed

Crowned with a skull
Her body bound
The dagger plunged
The horns erupt in sound

Bled at the sacrifice
Tonight!
Blood is sprayed
As the offering is set alight
The Sacrifice
Let the fire burn red at the sacrifice
You'll be there tonight
Blood is sprayed
As the offering is set alight
The Sacrifice!

Sacrifice the living
Sanctify the dead
Flesh and bone
Earth and fire
At union with Satan forever!

Come to the sacrifice!
Come to the sacrifice!


9. MARK OF EVIL

Mark of evil
Marked by evil
Blowin' speakers
Burning steeples... All nite!

Shout it out, live live and loud
You know I'm gonna stay out late
Made my choice, Heavy Metal is my voice
To be touched by Satan's claw is my fate...

We are the living dead
A power-force from hell
Who just want to bang our heads
And make our music loud
Ain't gonna turn it down man
The guitar possessed my soul
We only worship at the church
Of the Devil's rock n roll

Turn it up, never gonna stop
I'm just gunna laugh in your face, ha ha
Living free, Heavy Metal - you and me
And together we'll be rockin' this place

We are the living dead
A power-force from hell
Who just want to bang our heads
And make our music loud
Ain't gonna turn it down man
The guitar possessed my soul
We only worship at the church
Of the Devil's rock n roll

Shout it out!

Mark of evil
Marked by evil
Blowin' speakers
Burning steeples... All nite!
Alright


10. WICKED 'N CRUEL

You're living in the city
Gotta work for another day
Neon lights go rushing past
But you don't read the words they say
Forget about tomorrow
And close out everything
Take your routine vitamins
Accept life and believe

You're living in the city
Still workin' another day
Neon lights go rushing past
But you don't read the words they say

In shadowed halls and corridors
They make plans for our race
Behind the walls of a golden forge
Veiled in secrecy

Do not listen to preachers and fools
Don't let them deceive you with their rules
Some kings things we shall not know
Yet some we know aren't true

The way of the world is Wicked n' Cruel


11. BLACK CANDLE

Gather around
In a circle joining hands
Burning embers
Of a fire that once was grand
Charm the spells
Of ancient fire and ice
In the dark
Glowing eyes materialise

Another candle burning down
As darkest spells are bound
When it burns down to the end
Evil's coming around the bend

Black flames ride!
Black candle burn!

Wings of fire
Engulf their naked flesh
Demons cry
Through the stench of death
Separation
Dark replaces light
Ashes rise to form
A Black Candle tonight

Another candle burning down
As darkest spells are bound
When it burns down to the end
Evil's coming around the bend
Another candle burning down
As darkest spells are bound
When it burns down to the end
Evil's coming around the bend


12. TRIP FOREVER

Broken home
A danger zone
Step into the wind
On a supersonic throne
Metallic creation
Of steel and fuel
Burning tyres
Gasoline ghoul

Free rider, the chosen one
Don't stop runnin
Til the night has gone
Free rider, gotta get away
Trip forever!

Shadows cast
The red hot sun
Lone desert rider
With his hand on a gun
Risking his life
Peace-pipe and a bottle
Heavy metal thunder
And a loud open throttle

7 'til 11
All night all day
Keep the motor running
Someone's gonna pay
The time is near
The dice are cast

Never knowing which ride
Will be your last

Free rider, the chosen one
Don't stop runnin
Til the night has gone
Free rider, gotta get away
Trip forever!

Shadows cast, the red hot sun
Lone desert rider
With his hand on a gun
Risking his life
Peace-pipe and a bottle
Heavy metal thunder
And a loud open throttle


13. NIGHTMARE

Troubled dreams
Wake me in the night
What i've seen
Is never out of sight

My nightmares are coming true
Can't believe what i've seen

Am I going insane?
What is happening in my brain?
Has my time come now?
Oh my God is this the end?
Or a delusion...

Break of dawn
Nothing's as it seems
My mind's torn
Stuck in mirrored realities

My nightmares are coming true
Can't believe what i've seen

Am I going insane?
What is happening in my brain?
Has my time come now?
Oh my God is this the end?
Or a delusion...

Nightmare!
Visions flash in the dark
Tearing my mind apart

Nightmare!
Now in death I can see
Our world is fantasy

Or is it just an illusion?
