hi- welcome to hell
you are all here
for this where you must dwell
sinners and cheats
sit here with Satan
and have all your spirits meet

oh city beneath the surface above
how you survive on evil and blood
you breathers in this space
you never can leave this place

die-we all must die
how will you face it
when you bend to your knees and cry
burn-like witches burn
when will you sinners believe
that it's your time to learn?

oh city beneath the surface above
how you survive on evil and blood
you breathers in this space
you never can leave this place

you breathe earth's inner space
you never can leave this place

punished for the way that you lived
raping and stealing
but never one thought to give
here forever-not a trail or a trace
total illusions of tales
of the unholy place
				

Heart beat is rapid
Your blood pumping faster
Hands reach for the blade
Touch her
Feel her
Your body it craves her
She leads you to your grave

She's an image all dressed all in white
No, you know you want her now
Casting a spell
Her power on you
You'd leave but you don't know how

White Witch White Witch
Poisoning you
White Witch White Witch
Coming for you
White Witch White Witch
Taking your souls
White Witch White Witch
Taking control

Wrapped and enraging
I use to maintain it
Do you want some more?
Give her your money
Sell her your soul
The deadliest of whores

Wicked white demon
Is staring at you
Controlling all that you say and you do
Sweating intensely
The music's much loader
On the glass is a poison powder

White Witch White Witch
Poisoning you
White Witch White Witch
Coming for you
White Witch White Witch
Taking your souls
White Witch White Witch
Taking control

White Witch White Witch
Poisoning you
White Witch White Witch
Coming for you
White Witch White Witch
Taking your souls
White Witch White Witch
Taking control

She is now your only master
Your whole life's a complete disaster
Don't you dare
Let her in
As your final chore

White Witch White Witch
Poisoning you
White Witch White Witch
Coming for you
White Witch White Witch
Taking your souls
White Witch White Witch
Taking control

Taking my soul
Taking control
				

You got Lybia you got the Russians
You got civilian planes crashing to the oceans
Airports full of terrorists
Nagi skins anarchists
When are they gonna learn

Better listen to me you son of a bitch
Better disarm those missiles sleeping in the ditch
You have no goddamn right to do the things you do
The world would be a better place if we were rid of you
Of rage and war [4 times]

Every country's got the bomb
The scientists are working on
Chemical weapons to melt the flesh
With no source of defense
Shoot me I'll shoot you
Like there's nothing better to do
Who's the loser in the end

Better listen to me you son of a bitch

Of rage and war [4 times]

War broods in foreign lands
Missiles launch upon command
Islam Lebanon what the hell is going on
Ambassadors who say they try
Negotiating suicide
Are they prepared to face the end

timmy went out to play
with the friends he made
why did they send him away
he drove his mommy mad
his daddy he ran
they didn't understand
now he gazes his cold nights through
reliving all of the things he's do
if he only had another chance
if that was all he had

his tension life
he beats the wife
doused the cat with gasoline
he's rather try
the other side
he just has to get away
that's when it all began
timmy lost his mind
was just a matter of time
before he went crazy

mentally yours [8 times]

running wild
cause that's his style
can't be held by any cage
crossed the line
the final time
cause tonight he takes his stage

mentally yours [8 times]
				

Behind the wheel just went along
I'm tired of hearing the same old song
Look
I rule the night
No end in sight
I think I'm going insane, oh yeah

Engines grind
I hit the red line
I'm movin' fast
Forget the past
I'm burning tread
In my head
I am gone
Twenty four hours ago
Yeah

Got to escape
Can't take any more
I grabbed my suitcase
And kicked down the door
Yeah

I've got blood shot eyes
Hypnotized
I feel no pain
Oh yeah

Engines grind
I hit the red line
I'm movin' fast
Forget the past
I'm burning tread
In my head
I am gone
Twenty four hours ago
Yeah

Engines grind
I hit the red line
I'm movin' fast
Forget the past
I'm burning tread
In my head
I am gone
Twenty four hours ago
Yeah

Twenty four hours ago
Yeah
				

A call from the night
metal storming masses
In the lies
Battle cry
Screaming to the night
Oh no
Summon up the legions
To do our deeds
Our legion's needs
Are growing every day

We're coming out tonight
We come from the darker light
Join your hands and pray
Maybe you can all be saved

Legions of the night
Legions of the night
Good god
Legions of the night
Can they hear your battle cry

Cry out
But what does it matter?
There's no way to escape
The hold we have on you
Ohh ho
Controlled by the master
Infiltrate
Penetrate
Your little precious minds

We're coming out tonight
We come from the darker light
Join your hands and pray
Maybe you can all be saved

Legions of the night
Legions of the night
Good god
Legions of the night
Can they hear your battle cry

Scream loud
Let the masses hear you
Banging hard across the ground
Shatter the darkest lights
Oh no
Heed the master's calling
Congregate
Celebrate
The power you've obtained

Good god
Legions of the night
Legions of the night
Good god
Can I hear your battle cry, yeah
				

She is a native of the stormy skies, yeah
I, I caught a glimpse from the depths of my eyes
Atop a black winged mare
Casting a wicked stare
She throws her head back
And rides into the night

She flies strange wings
Behind a thin disguise
She flies strange wings
Still tears she cries

Oh I, I followed her
To the brink of dawn, yeah

She, she took control of my very soul, yeah
She's still a mystery
In her arms I long to be
I don't know why
I turn and reach to the sky

She flies strange wings
Behind a thin disguise
She flies strange wings
Still tears she cries

She flies strange wings
Behind a thin disguise
She flies strange wings
Still tears she cries

Strange Wings
Behind a thin disguise
Strange Wings
				

sun sets on the moon
the cry of the hounds live forevermore
stalking the night
they roam the countryside till morning's light

do you hear the hounds they call
scan the dark eyes aglow
through the bitter rain and cold
they hung you down
hunt you down

they run wild and free
across the fields and valleys of their native land
nature's beasts derranged
beyond belief no one understands

do you hear the hounds they call
scan the dark eyes aglow
through the bitter rain and cold
they hung you down
hunt you down

can you hear them in the night
they got you in their sight

do you hear the hounds they call
scan the dark eyes aglow
through the bitter rain and cold
they hunt you down
hunt you down
sun sets on the moon
the cry of the hounds live forevermore
stalking the night
they roam the countryside till morning's light

do you hear the hounds they call
scan the dark eyes aglow
through the bitter rain and cold
they hung you down
hunt you down

they run wild and free
across the fields and valleys of their native land
nature's beasts derranged
beyond belief no one understands

do you hear the hounds they call
scan the dark eyes aglow
through the bitter rain and cold
they hung you down
hunt you down

can you hear them in the night
they got you in their sight

do you hear the hounds they call
scan the dark eyes aglow
through the bitter rain and cold
they hunt you down
hunt you down
				

[Instrumental]
				

I don't know where the years have gone
Memories can only last so long
Like faded photographs, forgotten songs
And the things I never knew
When the skin is thin, the heart shows through
Please believe me what I tell you is true

Where's the light, turn then on again
One more night to believe and then
Another note for my requiem
A memory to carry on
The story's over when the crowds are gone

All my friends have been crucified
They made life a long suicide true
Guess we never figured out the rules
But I'm still alive and my fingers feel
I'm gonna play on till the final reel's through
And read the credits from a different view

Where's the lights, turn them on again
One more night to believe and then
Another note for my requiem
A memory to carry on
The story's over when the crowds are gone

When the crowds are gone
And I'm all alone
Playing a final song
Now that the lights are gone
Turn them on again
One more time for me my friend
Turn them on again
I never wanted to know
Never wanted to see
I wasted my time till time wasted me
Never wanted to go
Always wanted to stay
Cause the person I am are the parts that I play
So I play and I plan
And hope and I scheme
To the lure of a night
Filled with unfinished dreams
And I'm holding on tight
To a world gone astray

As they charge me for years
I can no longer pay

And the lights
Turn them off my friend
And the ghosts
Well just let them in
Cause in the dark
It's easier to see
				

down in the dungeons
of concrete and terror
candles light the way
can you hear me say?
the dungeons are calling
the dungeons are calling for me

i can't escape
this den must be hell
pleasures of freedom
denied me in this cell
i steal from my friends
victims of my pain
its nearing the end
i live like the dead

the dungeons are calling
calling for me  oh!
the dungeons are calling
the rack waits for me

down in the dungeons
i'm locked away
suicide ride
i take everday
prisoner in hell
victim in pain
the dungeons are calling for me

none of my friends
want to come out and play
they think i'm crazy
but what can i say?
prisoner in hell
victim in pain
it's nearing the end
i live like the dead

the dungeons are calling
calling for me
the dungeons are calling
the rack waits for me
				

what will 2000 bring?
the war of a billion things
when darkness seizes the lords
and darkness sends his judgement sword
they march through the battle fields
start the destruction wheels
a scream of terror through the night
the armies do their final fight

holocaust
final loss
holocaust

what will the end bring
to my life?
are you poisoned by?
are you for the night?
are you by the night?

holocaust
final loss
holocaust

listen to what i say
we are coming upon the day
when toxic gas fills the air
and life on earth can't
be found anywhere
you run, but where can you hide?
from the shelters i hear you cry
the bombs bursting in air
God help me i'm so scared!

holocaust
final loss
holocaust

what will the end bring
to my life?
are you poisoned by?
are you for the night?
are you by the night?

holocaust
final loss
holocaust
				

On the sea
They heard the voices sing
Through the storm
The island's closing in
They'd heard tales
Of lives lost at sea
Deserted beach just beyong their reach
You're approaching the island of the

Sirens
Sirens
Hungry for man tonight
Sirens
Sirens
Claiming the sailors' lives

Nine men made it to a shore
A night of terror
Lies neatly in store
Who are those women?
Are they real?
Is this just a crazy dream?
You're approaching the island of the

Sirens
Sirens
Hungry for flesh tonight
Sirens
Sirens
Claiming the sailors' lives

Terror happens quickly
Remains till the sailor are gone
They vanished in the night
Sirens singing their song
Whoa  till they're gone...

ALL RIGHT!!
				

Out there coming closer quicker
Moving with a swiftness
Closing in on me
Children of the metal movement
The legions growing stronger
Stronger than they believe

It's a power I'm drawing
From a light that's glowing
Power of the Night
The call of the wild
Power of the Night
Raise the fist of the metal child

Thrashing
Screaming, twisting, banging
Heads upon the platform
The witch has been conceived
Children of the metal movement
The armies growing stronger
Crack my cranium

It's a power I'm drawing
From a light that's glowing
Power of the Night
The call of the wild
Power of the Night
Raise the fist of the metal child

Out there coming closer quicker
Moving with a swiftness
Closing in on me
Children of the metal movement
The legions growing stronger
Stronger than they believe

Thrashing
Screaming, twisting, banging
Heads upon the platform
The witch has been conceived

Power of the Night
The call of the wild
Power of the Night
Raise the fist of the metal child

Power of the Night
The call from the wild
Power of the Night
Power of the Night
				

Far away
In a land caught between
Time and space
Where the books of life lay
We fear
This castle of stone
The mountain king roams
All alone in here
But he's not the only one
Lost inside
Forever hidden from the sun

Madness reigns
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah

His deep
Dark eyes
Keep watch on his kingdom
And the mysteries that sleeps safe inside
His hall
His towers of stone
Shall not be overthrown
For eternity
It is guarded by the king
Insanity and the power that it brings

Madness reigns
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Come with me
Stay close by my side
As the darkness of night closes in
Don't fear
In the thunder, it roars
When the Mountain King calls all his children home
To where I hid him we must run
Refuge(?) here but I was forever on the run

Madness reigns
(my friends)
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
				

Another sleepless night
A concrete paradise
Sirens screaming in the heat
Neon cuts the eye
As the jester sighs
At the world beneath his feet

It's a gutter ballet
Just a menagerie
Still the orchestra plays
On a dark and lonely night
To a distant fading light

Balanced on their knives
Little parts of lives
Such a strange reality
Kill the unicorn
Just to have its horn
Soon he's just a fantasy

It's a gutter ballet
Just a menagerie
Still the orchestra plays
On a dark and lonely night
To a distant fading light

The jester takes his bows
Slips into the crowd
As the actors fade away
Another death to mourn
Another child is born
Another chapter in the play

It's a gutter ballet
Just a menagerie
Still the orchestra plays
On a dark and lonely night
To a distant fading light
				

thinking about yesterday
and how my life used to be
now i'm locked inside this place
i'm a schizophrenic case
all the faces i now see
never show a sign of glee
every night we start to bustle
it's time to do the thorazine shuffle
it's the thorazine shuffle

everyday half past four
they push my food through the door
every night right at eight
they put me back into my straight
all the paintings i have made
they look kind of strange
every night we start to hustle
it's time to do the thorazine shuffle
it's the thorazine shuffle
