Lyrics


1. THE BLACK FOREST

The Wind swirls around.
The howling darkness calls.
The forest beckons to me in a dreamtime awe, In it
I hear the owl laughing
I feel the statue staring at me.
The deathly cold stops me dead, life reborn in the moonlight...

(apparation)hovers past my eyes, I walk through the garden of stone
I hear the spectre moaning, I see the corpselights burning
The tree; its look is haunting
The moon looks down from above...

The mortuary doors open wide, a voice calls my name
Shade of the dead haunt about, A lonely skull screams aloud
A falling branch signifies the end
The ghouls begin to gather...

Now, in fear, I run away, I hear the blackbird at my back
Stop in front of a tombstone, In horror I read the epitaph
Standing in front of an open grave
The markers words spell out my name.

In front of the grave I'm strickendown
Hit from behind by the phantom hound
Awake in grave Half covered by dirt
I look up to see the gavedigger at work
Buried alive a spirit visits my grave
In memory of me she leaves a bouquet of black roses.

2. BENEATH THE GRAVE

Alive in the bed of the dead
A blanket of earth and a sheet of wood trap me
Even the moon denies me its own lights
As the spectre of death waits upon my fresh grave
I'm trapped underneath
I cannot see, I can barely breathe
I'm dying but they think I have died

Laying alone in the dark (help me)
Never to see the light (is somebody up there?)
Like a plague, the fear creeps in
A nightmare that never ends (somebody please!)
As your heart cries out in horror
You hear the beating grow louder (I can't take this!)
Want to live or quickly die
Neither shall happen tonight

Looking up to the dark My hands reach out to be saved.
As salvations denied, I hear the jackals laugh

Dark covers me like a shroud, engulfed in its grasp
Unseen, I feel the nothingness take me
I feel nothing anymore...
This isn't the end, it's only the beginning
You've been spared death for a more permanent hell.

As I walk the path of death, a voice calls me from beyong. Beyond the darkness it beckons
Denied Christ I reach for the dark
Banished beyond the gates and denied paradise
I reach toward the darkness and the summoining Hordes
The unborn one calls me through an angel's scram
A glowing light grows as death bestows me...

The light grows towards me, The fires of HELL I see
Fueled by my dying soul and the hope that dies in me
A thousand fallen angels reach out and grasp
By my soul they pull me down into the flame

Head-first into the pit then into the INFERNO
The damned angels dance around my crucified soul.
