Ring a ring of roses
A pocket full of posies
Atishoo, atishoo
We all fall down

Ashes on the water
Ashes in the sea
Ashes on the riverside
One, two, three
				

[Verse 1: Cardinal Copia]
In times of turmoil
In times like these
Beliefs contagious
Spreading disease
This wretched mischief is now coursing through your souls
Never to let go
Never to let go

[Refrain: Cardinal Copia]
Them rats! (rats-rats-rats-)

[Verse 2: Cardinal Copia]
Into your sanctum
You let them in
Now all your loved ones
And all your kin
Will suffer punishments beneath the wrath of God
Never to forgive
Never to forgive

[Refrain: Cardinal Copia]
Them rats! (rats-rats-rats-)
(Aaah whoah)
Rats! (rats-rats-rats-)
(Aaah whoah)
Rats! (rats-rats-rats-)
(Aaah whoah)
Rats! (rats-rats-rats-)
(Aaah whoah)
				

[Verse 1: Cardinal Copia]
There is a scourge in the guise of sanctity
A perpetrator with a quill
Although it's...
Not perceived and although it's not mystery
The accuser sends the bill

[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
I am all eyes
I am all ears
I am the wall
And I'm watching you fall

[Post-Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
Because faith is mine!

[Verse 2: Cardinal Copia]
The Luddites shun the diabolical
A fecal trail across the land
Although it...
Stinks, feels and looks identical
And a pack of fools can take the stand

[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
I am all eyes
I am all ears
I am the wall
And I'm watching you fall

[Post-Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
Because faith is mine!

[Solo: Nameless Ghouls (Fire & Aether)]

[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
I am all eyes
I am all ears
I am the wall
And I'm watching you fall
I am all eyes
I am all ears
I am the wall
And I'm watching you fall
I am all eyes
I am all ears
I am the wall
And I'm watching you fall

[Post-Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
Because faith is mine!
				

[Verse 1]
Many a sin I have witnessed and in many indeed I have been
Many a rat I have befriended and so many a thorn stood between
But of all the demons I have known
None could compare to you

[Pre-Chorus]
Every day that you feed me with hate I grow stronger
Every day that you feed me with hate I grow stronger

[Chorus]
Drink me, eat me
Then you'll see the light

[Verse 2]
Many a mind I have haunted and in many a way I have been
Often the one to have flaunted an image grotesque and obscene
But of all the dark roads that I roam
None could compare to you

[Pre-Chorus]
Every day that you feed me with hate I grow stronger
Every day that you feed me with hate I grow stronger

[Chorus]
Drink me, eat me
Then you'll see the light
				

[Instrumental]
				

[Verse 1: Cardinal Copia]
You'll soon be hearing the chime
Close to midnight
If I could turn back the time
I'd make all right

[Pre-Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
How could it end like this?
There's a sting in the way you kiss me
Something within your eyes
Said it could be the last time
'Fore it's over!

[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
Just wanna be
Wanna bewitch you in the moonlight
Just wanna be
I wanna bewitch you all night

[Verse 2: Cardinal Copia]
It keeps on giving me chills
But I know now
I feel the closer we get
To the last vow

[Pre-Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
I don't wanna end like this (Like this, yeah)
But the sting in the way you kiss me (I'm loving it)
Something within your eyes
Said it could be the last time
'Fore it's over!

[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
Just wanna be
Wanna bewitch you in the moonlight
Just wanna be
I wanna bewitch you all night
Just wanna be
I wanna bewitch you, one last time in the ancient rhyme
Just wanna be
I wanna bewitch you all night

[Solo: Nameless Ghouls (Fire & Aether)]

[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
Just wanna be
Wanna bewitch you in the moonlight
Just wanna be
Wanna bewitch you all right
Just wanna be
Wanna bewitch you in the moonlight
Just wanna be
I wanna bewitch you all night

[Outro]
All right!
Woh-woh-woh, wohh!
				

[Verse 1: Cardinal Copia]
Lucifer, whispering
Silently into your mind
Who walks behind
Who walks behind
Standing tall, invincible
But do not forget your knives
To save your lives
To save your lives

[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
Don't you forget about dying
Don't you forget about your friend death
Don't you forget that you will die

[Verse 2: Cardinal Copia]
Don't you vomit savage slurs
Spewed up wickedly
To hide from me
To hide from me
Navigate all alone
On this tempestuous sea
To ride with me
To ride with me

[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
Don't you forget about dying
Don't you forget about your friend death
Don't you forget that you will die
Don't you forget about dying
Don't you forget about your friend death
Don't you forget that you will die

[Solo: Nameless Ghoul (Fire & Aether)]

[Verse 3: Cardinal Copia]
Lucifer, whispering
Silently into your mind
Who walks behind
Who walks behind
Had you had the chance today
You would've sold out too
Ain't that right
Sweet Saint Peter?

[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
Don't you forget about dying
Don't you forget about your friend death
Don't you forget that you will die
Don't you forget about dying
Don't you forget about your friend death
Don't you forget that you will die

[Solo: Nameless Ghoul (Fire & Aether)]

[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
Don't you forget about dying
Don't you forget about your friend death
Don't you forget that you will die
Don't you forget about dying
Don't you forget about your friend death
Don't you forget that you will die
Don't you forget about dying
Don't you forget about your friend death
Don't you forget that you will die
				

You have never stood this close to where you want to be
You have always waded in the shallows between me and the deep blue sea

You would never want me to appear
You never want this to be over
You never want it to reach out to the edge of time

While you sleep in earthly delight
Someone's flesh is rotting tonight
Like no other to you
What you have done you can not undo

I have always kept you closer than you have known
I am riding in the shadows behind you on a pale white horse

You would never want me to appear
You never want this to be over
Someone's flesh is rotting tonight
Like no other to you
What you have done you can not undo

While you sleep in earthly delight
Still your soul will suffer this plight
Like your father in hell
What you have sold you can not unsell
				

[Instrumental]
				

Can you hear me say your name forever?
Can you see me longing for you forever?
Would you let me touch your soul forever?
Can you see me longing for you forever?

I know the light grows darker down below
But in your eyes it is gone before you know
This is the moment of just letting go

She said, if you had life eternal...

Can you hear me say your name forever?
Can you feel me longing for you forever?
Forever
Would you let me touch your soul forever?
Can you see me longing for you forever?
Forever

We dance once more
I feel your hands are cold
Within your heart, a story to be told
This is the moment of just letting go

Can you hear me say your name forever?
Can you feel me longing for you forever?
Would you let me touch your soul forever?
Can you see me longing for you forever?

Forever... if you had life eternal?
				

Hey, baby
Kiss the goat
Oh-oh-oh
Kiss, kiss, kiss the go-goat

You've been playing
Around the magic that is black
But all the powerful magical mysteries
Never gave a single thing back
You've been daddied
By all the dudes that wanna dad
And all those dads never gave you
The things that you should've had

It ain't always what it seems
When you cling onto a dream
It ain't always there to please you
But he's the guy you wanna do
And you know that it takes two
Luckily he wants to do you too

Satan
Lucifer
Osculum obscenum

Hey, baby!
Kiss the goat
Oh-oh-oh
Kiss, kiss, kiss the go-goat
Hey, baby!
Hey, hey, hey!
Kiss the goat
Oh-oh-oh
Kiss, kiss, kiss the go-goat

It ain't always what it seems
That glitter wasn't gold
As opposed to what they told you
But he's the guy you wanna do
And you know that it takes two
Luckily he wants to do you too

Satan
Lucifer
Osculum obscenum

It ain't always what it seems
When you cling onto a dream
It ain't always there to please you
But he's the guy you wanna do
And you know that it takes two
Luckily he wants to do you too

Satan
Lucifer
Osculum obscenum
				

We were speeding together
Down the dark avenues
But besides all the stardom
All we got was blues
But through all the sorrow
We've been riding high
And the truth of the matter is
I never let you go, let you go

We were scanning the cities
Rocking to pay their dues
But besides all the glamor
All we got was bruised
But through all the sorrow
We've been riding high
And the truth of the matter is
I never let you go, let you go

You go down just like Holy Mary
Mary on a, Mary on a cross
Not just another bloody Mary
Mary on a, Mary on a cross
If you choose to run away with me
I will tickle you internally
And I see nothing wrong with that

We were searching for reasons
To play by the rules
But we quickly found out
It was just for fools
Now through all the sorrow
We'll be riding high
And the truth of the matter is
I never let you go, let you go

You go down just like Holy Mary
Mary on a, Mary on a cross
Not just another bloody Mary
Mary on a, Mary on a...

You go down just like Holy Mary
Mary on a, Mary on a cross
Your beauty never, ever scared me
Mary on a, Mary on a cross
If you choose to run away with me
I will tickle you internally
And I see nothing wrong with that

(Mary on a, Mary on a cross)
Nothing wrong with that
(Mary on a, Mary on a cross)
Nothing wrong with that
(Mary on a, Mary on a cross)
(Mary on a) Mary on a cross
