Beneath The Sabbath Moon ...Awaken... The swift of night And the marvel lays out their guide They come by shadow And unseen before god's eyes Sauntering through the wooded thick In secret where they gather Yet watching here Is the father of another Amidst the cauldron's wake Dismantling of all mesh Sworn arms reach higher skies Without any stitch upon their flesh The dance begins Before the devil and the unseen priest Blood spatters for a sacrifice And a drink to bring them to their knees Here and now is where they pledge Here and now in secret Here and now is where they pledge An offering to accept A heart and soul now combine With blackness ye shall be of one Hearing only his voice in mind Into all a new lord has come Script be within the blackest book And magic reign upon this land Rise up ye whores of Salem As you and Lucifer walk hand in hand Here and now is where they pledge Here and now in secret Here and now is where they pledge And offering to accept The swift of night And the marvel lays out their guide They come by shadow And unseen before god's eyes Sauntering through the wooded thick In secret where they gather Yet watching here Is the father of another 2. Where The Witches Waltz The noon next still these children sleep Yet they bear no fever, nor wound Under hex how far have they fallen Fathomed be the priest and his secret to consume Is it just they are lost in dream Eyes speak dead yet here they breath To the touch skin fouls a sour cold And on their lips shine the shade of a stolen soul The priest will pace upon the comatose Lifeless girls and one being of his own A heathen dance from nights past arose Nothing for a child any father would condone Is it just they are lost in dream Eyes speak dead yet here they breath To the touch skin fouls a sour cold And on their lips shine the shade of stolen soul Behind the eyes falling deeper in dream The girls still dance where none can see Deep in the wooded black of nights past flee Where they witches waltz is where they be In the grasp of the anxious sire The seed of his will now open her eyes Still incoherent before her father she lay Unable to speak nor hear his cries Behind the eyes falling deeper in dream The girls still dance where none can see Deep in the wooded black of nights past flee Where the witches waltz is where they be 3. The Devil In Salem Fair witch of the southern path Led the young into conjuration Bringing forth thou of which we do not speak Now here the devil in Salem Unclean witch whipped be once a slave Led the young into temptation Condemned to chains So halt thee silver tongue Still now here the devil in Salem Fear the shadows that dance before your eyes They will set foot upon All rooftops tonight Fear what the night Soon to you will bring Listen for the tune of which The devil's whores will sing Hide and wilt behind Your book of lies There are no saints To bring armor now Scamper swift Before your fear stones There are no prayers To bring salvation now Fear the shadows that dance before your eyes They will set foot Upon all rooftops tonight The devil is here in Salem 4. Obsidian Spells Of Hysteria I command thee spirit, Fly out from me Strike forth upon Salem From this town may god flee I have seen the night I have seen the shadows In the wood where they dance With the devil I have seen the crow I have seen the blood Bleeding into a book of black I have seen the witch I have seen her naked Conjuring her spells in the dark of night I have seen the moon I have seen the sun As they combine into one another Fly my spirit Cast shadow into dreams Curse the names of the holy Let hell ride they wings I have seen the night I have seen the shadows In the wood where they dance With the devil I have seen the crow I have seen the blood Bleeding into a book of black I have seen the witch I have seen her naked Conjuring her spells in the dark of night I have seen the moon I have seen the sun As they combine into one another Sickened be those of the light Tainted excuse of human life Set fire unto the flock this night Blessed be horns that rise 5. The Dreamstalk Masquerade 6. The Crucible And The Cross (Salve, mortis, salve) All rise ye who stand accused For practice of the witches craft Silent tongues that speak no truth Continuing down the devil's path Are ye guilty folk, inflected ill Riding dead air unto the tomb? Speak not, hear not as ye be With one who cradles an abundant womb Those who suffer, shall suffer no more And the town shall be ridden of all witches lore Hereby guilty and sentenced To hang by noose Amongst faith now It be your lives you will loose Pronounced excommunicate To die with morning next But unnoticed upon the judge This night brings a wicked hex 7. Damned Be Those Of The Craft Damned be those of the craft Ye who wield such horrid spells Soon to see their nights last pass Into cauldron cold, black feathers fell Flesh succumbs to dagger's stab Blood boils deep with tallow first Second comes the scales of snake With spit and semen to complete their curse Our souls are not for the taking... Not in vein we shall die with pride Our names are bound into the black unholy book We have sold our souls... to Lucifer! We know not of heaven except for mortal lies We are not damned yet hunters, Crowned under this dreadful night Damned be those of the craft 8. Onwards To Gallows Hill Onwards to gallows Hill March on unto the face of death Seek the world beyond the locust tree One by one to hang by neck Onwards to gallows hill The unsacred ground of ruin Where witches hang and The crowd applaud For the sentence and Extermination of each druid Herenow before all eyes Condemned with noose to hang And upon some certain bloodline A curse to he these witches sang Without remorse and without guilt Under the devil they feel no shame Rope around neck with heads on tilt Their eyes of fire still praise his name One by one they are set to fall And the sky lets loose it's rain Clouds gather and bring forth storm The devil's magic has come to claim From this witch comes a voice too deep And a language that none can name Until the order comes she sleeps Moving on to which next will hang 9. Stones Upon The Warlock A dreadful wizard he be Set to hang upon high Thoughts of hanging noose and tree To threats of these he will not shy Confessions he will not make His soul will not plea Before the magistrates he did stand But the treat was made of stone To lay upon his chest by hand A slow death by crushed brawn and bone Confessions he will not make His soul will not plea More and more and more he cried "Lay upon me with your stones" More and more and more he cried "I will never damn my soul" More and more and more he cried "More and more until I die" More and more and more he cried "I soon to heaven will fly" ...fly... 10. When Winter Spectres Come Return from the witches tomb Unclean spirits of deceased To spread revenge in deepest gloom Salem shall never rest in peace Hear the voice of the dead; Long lost voice of the damned From wood and sky they come To haunt and awake from dream Swollen voices to harrow by night Swift infliction to covert thy screams Hear the voice of the dead; Long lost voice of the damned And forth be set upon Salem this curse An evil on all That can not be taught Until revenge 19 witches will thirst And upon Salem this day... The devil still walks
