1. LADY LUCIFER

You first came to me in a dream
At once I knew you were my queen
You smiled with lips incarnadine
Whispered black magic rites obscene

I knew just who you were
Lady Lucifer
Evil walks here on earth
Lady Lucifer

In the black night you called my name
Your nails caressed my windowpane
Thunder cracked, then came the rain
Woke up bleeding from an open vein

I knew just who you were
Lady Lucifer
Evil walks here on earth
Lady Lucifer

Lucifer!

No!

Ooh, I can’t run, I can’t hide
Cause she’s inside my mind
Ooh, I can’t run, I can’t hide
I feel her by my side

Ooh, I can’t run, I can’t hide
She’s got me hypnotised
Ooh, I can’t run, I can’t hide
In love with Satan’s bride

I knew just who you were
Lady Lucifer
Evil walks here on earth
Lady Lucifer

Ooh, I can’t cry, I can’t yell
Ring out the funeral bell
Ooh, I can’t cry, I can’t yell
I'm stuck under her spell

Ooh, I can’t cry, I can’t yell
It’s time to say farewell
Ooh, I can’t cry, I can’t yell
She’ll send me straight to hell


2. FREE THE WITCH

They say she rode with the Devil
They say she bears his mark
They say she danced in the forest
With a goat long after dark

Ah, they know not what they do
If they burn her they are doomed

Cause she’ll curse them
She’ll hex them
And there’s no way to protect them
Ah, they’ve got to free the witch

She’ll curse them
She’ll plague them
And there’s no way to save them
Ah, they’ve got to free the witch

Free the witch

They say she ruined the harvest
They say she spoiled the crops
They say she’s part of a coven
Meeting in the blasted copse

Ah, they know not what they do
If they burn her they are doomed

Cause she’ll curse them
She’ll hex them
And there’s no way to protect them
Ah, they’ve got to free the witch

She’ll curse them
She’ll plague them
And there’s no way to save them
Ah, they’ve got to free the witch

Free the witch

Malleus Maleficarum


3. LIVING FOSSIL

Born before time
Last of my kind
On this doomed earth I was left behind

In the abyss
Never surface
Unless summoned by the slowest riffs

Living fossil
I’m built to last
Living fossil
I'm a blast from the past

Centuries pass
Without a glance
I transcend time in my narcotic trance

I dwell alone
Aphotic zone
Awakened only by the lowest tone

Living fossil
I’m built to last
Living fossil
I'm a blast from the past

I have watched the ages come and go
Never dying, living slow
Nothing I can do to stem time’s flow
Never dying, living slow

Living fossil
Don’t move too fast
Living fossil
I'm a blast from the past

Living fossil
In a void so vast
Living fossil
I'm a blast from the past

Prehistoric pariah
I just get higher and higher

Live slow
Never die
I’ll spend an eternity getting high


4. Older than the Hills

I’ve heard them say
This land is cursed
It’s in the water
It’s in the earth

I’ve heard them say
It haunts this place
Though it has no name
Though it has no face

So they say, so they say
By the watermill
There it lurks, there it lays
Older than the hills

So they say, so they say
When you feel the chill
Run away, run away
It’s older than the hills

I’ve heard them say
It’s in the trees
You can hear it moan
It’s on the breeze

I’ve heard them say
Just let it in
Into your bones
Under your skin

So they say, so they say
By the watermill
There it lurks, there it lays
Older than the hills

So they say, so they say
It cannot be killed
Run away, run away
It’s older than the hills

You try to escape
Ah, you never will
It is here to stay
Older than the hills

It’s been here always
And it lives here still
Ah, it has no name
Older than the hills

Older than the hills


5. WHEN THE AXE COMES DOWN

Misty morning dawning
On the scaffold high
Crows are cawing, swarming
Falling from the sky
Final warning
Now the end is nigh
Judgement calling:
Any words before you die?

This is your last day
You cannot be saved
Headed for the grave
What you going to say?

You get down on your knees
You pray to God for mercy
Ah, but he can’t help you now
When the axe comes down

Crowd is roaring, brawling
Crying out for blood
They want it pouring, coursing
In a crimson flood
You are crawling
Rolling in the mud
They are watching
Waiting for the thud

Your face in the dirt
You cannot be heard
Your mouth full of earth
What are your last words?

You look up to the sky
You pray to God before you die
Ah, but he can’t help you now
When the axe comes down

Now you’ve said your final prayer
You walk slowly up the stairs
Now you step onto the stage
You’d better get ready for the blade!

You get down on your knees
You pray to God for mercy
Ah, but he can’t help you now
When the axe comes down

When the... axe
When the axe comes down
