CLOVEN HOOF LYRICS

1. Inquisitor

Repent, blood will fall like rain.
Torment, hooks into your brain.
Whiplash, chained to the wrack.
Razor slash, your spines about to crack.

Your body now, belongs to me.
Soon you'll burn, in purgatory.

Inquisitor, sworn confessor.
Inquisitor, tourniquet will turn.
Inquisitor, unholy oppressor.
Inquisitor, smiles as the sinners burn.

Deviant, lacerate your flesh.
Militant, devils child confess.
Blasphemer, learn your lesson well.
Redeemer, gonna send you down to hell.

Sign your name
or piece by piece,
death will be
merciful release.

You will kneel before me,
I kill rob you of your sight.
Blood god bow down humbly,
decapitation by divine right.

Heresy by thought,
Heresy by deed.
Heresy!
Excommunication!

Heresy is sought,
Heresy in breed.
Heresy!
Death and mutilation!

If thine eyes offend,
be in no doubt.
I will descend and then...
I'll rip them out!

2. Nova Battlestar

Star war rage in the heavens
At the heart of Andromeda
Flagship to the armada
The Nova Battlestar

Interstellar commander
Enforcer of empire might
Death star renegade
Travelling at the speed of light

Colonating ... obliterating
Destruction all across the void
Exterminating ... guns blazing
Till the federation are destroyed

Chorus
Nova Battlestar!
Nova Battlestar!

War machines under fire
Retaliation has begun
The vanguard is defeated
Victory is won

Legions yield to conquest
Challengers swept aside
Draconian domination, when rival worlds collide

Colonating ... obliterating
Destruction all across the void
Exterminating ... guns blazing
Till the federation are destroyed

[Chorus]

Invasion will come in a later time
They will raise the mountains
And drain the sea,
Baron skies the bitter prize
Lay waste to the cosmos
For its energy,
Centurions of darkness
Coming today,
Beach head earth
Is already under way.

3. The Gates Of Gehenna

Look on high son of man i stand before you
Celestial traveller of time and space
Take my hand discover realms beyond the living
Cast aside the mortal fears that ever plague your race
Leave your world behind seek and you will find the Gates of Gehenna

Sinners scream from tormented fate redemption but a dream too late
Damnated souls in the aftermath of Gods own
Wrath, with paradise lost forever, and ever

Now you will know your reason here
Mine is Lucifer, destructor, abductor of your soul
Seek not escape once lured to Hell's own kingdom
None may elude my presence nor relinquish my dread control
You are sold to brutality never to break free the Gates of Gehenna

My fate is sealed in shadow denied the gift of light
Cast down damnated banished from salvation's sight
The prey of the betrayer, spirits never finding peace
An eternity of suffering possessed without release

You'll never get away, no...

4. Astral Rider

Take a trip out of consciousness
across the great divide,
Astral thought projection,
suspended in time.

Flying high through
plasmic oceans,
supernatural skies.
Leave the Earthbound minions,
so very far behind.

As one with the universe,
beyond pleasure and pain.
Die hard retrogression,
being reborn again.

Nightriders on the astral plain
Nightriders on the astral plain
Nightriders on the astral plain
Nightriders on the astral plain

Frontiers of meditation,
the search for inner light.
Take a look through
the minds eye,
on an endless flight.

Between the gates of forever,
void of and hate.
Life and death have no meaning,
in animated state.

A spectrum of fantastic colours,
Incandescent bright.
Vibrating on a timeless wavelength,
a vision of paradise.

We're gonna take you to a place
where the king of terror reigns,
Carnage and mutilation
degredates your burning remains.

5. Kiss Of Evil

We rise as the sun has fallen,
the midnight world I roam.
Life and death has no dominion,
but the grave shall be our home.

Naked alone you are defenceless,
like a body in a tomb.
Haunted in your silent slumber,
as I creep into your room.

You will hear me.
You will heed me.
You will fear me.
You will need me!

[Chorus:]
Children of the darkness feed,
bring the kiss of evil.
Legions of the lost night breed,
taste the kiss of evil.

Love bites,
flying in the night.
We are flying in,
flying in the night.

The darkness of the night!

I am met without resistance,
my gift is bitter sweet.
Senses sharpened Nosferatu,
mortal prey are easy meat.

Joined immortal yet un-living,
once you taste my first attack.
fate is sealed in realms of shadow,
there can be no turning back.

You will hear me.
You will heed me.
You will fear me.
You will need me.

[Chorus]

I want it,
you got it.
I feel hot blood,
in the still of the night.
There ain't no doubt
about it,
you heat me up
till I loose my mind.

Running wild,
in the city.
Your face so god damn pretty.
Your neck,
my eyes of fire.
Food for the love vampire!

[Chorus]

6. Mutilator

Your all gonna Die!

Razor backed,
bringer of pain.
Laser bolts
lance your brain.
Piling on the agony,
mechanoid brutality.

Tearing limbs
and gouging eyes,
sadistic butcher
cleaves and scythes.
Liquidate humanity,
crime is life
let none go free.

Hell is now here
all will fall,
God will not intervene at all.

Searching,
seeking,
destroying.
Mutilator!

Burning,
breaking,
killing.
Mutilator!

Waging pure
and bloody war,
Dreadnaught
settles old scores.
Slaying his
creator screams,
slaughtered as
the blood redeems.

Doomsday monarch
reigns in death,
separate you
from your breath.
Genocide across
the land,
mass extinction
close at hand.

He will spare no one,
steel wheels run.
The body count
goes on and on.

The Earth is cleansed now,
he stands alone.
Cathedral built of cartilage,
shattered skull and bone.

Corpses piled high
to the sky.
New worlds to ravage
and brutalize.

Hell is now here
all will fall,
God will not intervene at all.

7. Reach For The Sky

The stars are our home
Roaming the galaxy
We're free
Raiders from space
Star fighter zeros.

Out of the sun
Engage the enemy
We see
Planets in chains
Hell is for heroes.

We glide in our silver birds
Got to do or die

Soar on solar winds
Rage on high
As fire on silent metal wings
Out where the meteors fly
You and I.

Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky

Trail to blaze
Glory and victory will be
In for the kill
Or wiped out forever.

Life is a dream
And death a reality for me
Star fleet in flames
But never surrender.

Dog fight till the end
Dive for the last time

Soar on solar winds
Rage on high
As fire on silent metal wings
Out where the meteors fly
You and I.

8. Road Of Eagles

Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat, a trained fighting unit strikes at the nerve centre of the dread overlords power matrix stronghold.
To alter the path of blind submission only the brave walk the Road of Eagles!

Prepare!
Prepare for battle.
After this flight,
as free men
We fight or fall,
we fight or fall.

Nevermore!
Shall our people cower
In chains and fear,
this reign must end...
Kill the oppressor!

Antagonistic warlord,
star systems die by his hand.
Unchallenged to pillage and plunder,
taken and slain by command.

Time for blind allegiance Passover,
though hell itself bars the way.
His life force must spill over,
or death be the price we pay.

[Chorus:]
Lift the banner of freedom on high,
raise the empire to the ground.
Let arrow fly,
let warning sound,
as free men we choose to die.

Dogs of war are gathering,
they hunger for conquest.
Scheming Jackals of conflict,
await to pick the bones
who failed the test.

Ask not for mercy,
show no quarter,
till victory is won.
Our cause must not falter,
Dominator must come undone.

[Chorus]

Our kinsmen's bodies' litter,
foreign fields of death.
Only the prophets may know
what the future may bring.
Brother against brother
cursing with his last dying breath...
The king is dead!
Long live the King!

Must the hands of man
be stained forever?
How many son's be lost?
before we still the malice
inside us,
and escape a final holocaust.
How many?

9. Return Of The Passover

[Part 1 - The Coming]

He comes forth spanning starways
That sinners may live in fear
Retribution, marks this eve day
The hour of vengance draws near

Dark angel of our destruction
Mounted on black winged steed
Irresistably anhialating
All bearing malice, lust or greed

[Chorus:]
Dawns now the death dealer
Atomising soul stealer
Inflicting damnation
unto he that spurns salvation

Earthly resistance, proves futile
No mortal force can halt this man
Evil minions meet extinction
By making mockery of the heavenly

His mission is that of deliverance
Seeking repentance from all
In a world plaqued by Violence
And Deception where the
weakest, surely fall

[Chorus]

[Part 2 - Executional Redemption]

Those exempt of compassion
Devoid of trust
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust

Cleansing all sins
Dispersing all pain
Question not his judgement
Defy not his reign

[Repeat First Verse]

[Chorus]

[Part 3 - Cold Reign]

The ancients have told, of the first passover
They felt ones power, in centuries past

Now we live in his dreaded shadow
Never heeding when, the die was cast

10. Laying Down The Law

I guard these sleazy streets,
from gambling joint to speakeasy.
No back alley hoodlum is gonna muscle in on my territory.
The gangster and machine gun is public enemy number one,
in Chicago where the innocent pay protection to stay free.

Well nobody gets hurt,
If he walks the straight and narrow.
Bend the arrow out of line,
and you have to reckon with me.

[Chorus:]
Cause I'm laying down,
Laying down the law.
I'm laying down,
Laying down the law.

Behind every street corner,
there's vermin crawling out of the woodwork.
Some low down punk with a shot gun,
itchin to fill ya full of lead.
Wine, Women and bootleg whiskey,
threatens the basis of society.
Side walks are paved with blood,
Who couldn't keep their head.

Sin city never sleeps,
You better learn to
pull no punches.
Eyes to the rear,
cause down here...
They play for keeps.

[Chorus]

You say I'm dreaming,
to believe in a better way,
For this rat trap we call home.
I'm the enforcer
Making sure that crime don't pay...
And I'm not alone!

11. Mistress Of The Forest

Moonlight bathes the woodland,
Breathless night on chilled scented air.
Neath mist enshrouded willow,
Stirs a lady ivory white and fair.

My gaze is drawn to that silver hair those
Eyes of ebony bright.
Never have I witnessed such beauty,
as in she who walks alone this night.

But all is deception,
A demon as goddess guised.
My mind is drained of resistance,
Senses hypnotised.

Beckoning me to follow her lead,
Into depths of mystery.
I am bewitched doing as she so bids,
Never to break free.

Mortals have not beheld such wonder,
elemental forces In visions made clear.
I can feel myself free of physical connections,
Ertheral spirit oppressed in fear.

Peer into the mirror darkly,
There's some trying to capture your reflection.
Lines on your palm begin to glow.

Remember that old fortune-teller?
Lady read your future not so long ago,
It all happened,
how did she know?

Ask what fate waits in the stars?
Disaster governs,
your house is in mars.
Ooh you never thought it could happen to you,
But still it will come true... yeah!

She's a bad, bad luck woman.
She's a hell raising crystal ball gazing gypsy queen.
She's a bad luck,
bad luck.
Bad luck woman'll will snatch your soul
and steal your dreams.

Your mind is an open book,
step inside and take a look.
Call it second sight,
call it inner vision.

No one comes near, No!
Her glade is surrounded,
by fear and superstition.
Beware her premonitions.

Destiny is already planned,
signs are forming
to her command.
Take a card,
play your hand.
She'll deal you death,
better understand.

On the eve of the dead
at the forest edge,
thirteen corpses are found consumed by fire.
Shrill laughter came with the fall of the rain,
as the flames danced higher and higher.
Mistress of the forest,
Shimmering into view.
She abides eternally waiting
as the scene is set for you.

Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah she is waiting
The scene is set for you

Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah she is waiting
The scene is set for you.
