1. Burning The Cross
Riding out and summed up for they know no destination
Demons and witches are leading their processions
Breaking religion by burning the cross
Breaking religion, burning the cross
Traveling in darkness, afraid of recognition
Evil ambitions, they're planning the destruction
Breaking religion by burning the cross
Breaking religion, burning the cross
Oh you gotta see them riding through the darkness and stay in the night
Unholy light
You gotta see them riding through the darkness and stay in the night
Unholy light
You gotta see them riding through the darkness and stay in the night
Yeah
Riding out and summed up for they know no destination
Demons and witches are leading their processions
Breaking religion by burning the cross
Breaking religion, burning the cross
Traveling in darkness, afraid of recognition
Evil ambitions, they're planning the destruction
Breaking religion by burning the cross
Breaking religion, burning the cross
Oh yeah they're burning the cross [x2]
Hear what they say, 'cause they do not go home. [x2]
Oh you gotta see them riding through the darkness and stay in the night
Unholy light
You gotta see them riding through the darkness and stay in the night
Unholy light
You gotta see them riding through the darkness and stay in the night
Yeah
Doomsday reflections
Above the clouds high in the sky
Doomsday infections
In their heads and in their minds
Doomsday reflections
Above the clouds high in the sky
Doomsday infections
In their heads and in their minds
You'll be burning the cross
2. Curse Of The Pharaohs
Away out in Egypt in the Valley of Kings
Where the mummified Pharaohs
Pretend dead in their sleep
Don't touch, never ever steal
Unless you're in for the kill
Or you'll be hit by the curse of the Pharaohs
Yes you'll be hit and the curse is on you
Now if you breaking the seals
And disturbing the peace
Then you're startin' up a curse
Bringin' evil disease
Don't touch, never ever steal
Unless you're in for the kill
Or you'll be hit by the curse of the Pharaohs
Yes you'll be hit and the curse is on you
The curse of the pharaohs can be so deadly
Or just destroying your future
Makin' it all shady
Don't touch, never ever steal
Unless you're in for the kill
Or you'll be hit by the curse of the Pharaohs
Yes you'll be hit and the curse is on you
3. Return Of The Vampire
And so I saw it
The birth of a vampire
Fresh in his lair
Spreading the veil
He'll spread his wings
Leaving at sunset
Fly high and low
Back before sun's glow
Return of the vampire
Leaving his liar or (Leave now he's come)
Sucking your blood through your veins or (I can't go back to that place)
Return of the vampire
Leaving his liar
Sucking your blood through your veins
There's only one way you can stop him
You gotta trace the vampire to his liar, oh yeah
And then you gotta drive the stake
Right through the heart of the living dead, oh yeah
Oh I can feel you living again
Vampire I'm losing control
Vampire just give me your cloak
Vampire I'm losing control
Vampire just give me your cloak
4. A Corpse Without Soul
Listen, I'm a corpse, I'm a corpse
I'm a corpse without soul
Satan, he's taken, he's taken
He's taken his toll
And he took it out on me
I, I'm trapped, I'm trapped
I'm trapped in his spell
Tonight, I'm going, I'm going
I'm going to Hell, inside his spell
I was walking down among the graves
I heard a cry, my shadow is gone
Emptiness in my body, I felt so alone
Small black wings on my naked back
Now guess what I saw on one of the stones
I saw my soul, in a magical haze
It was all dressed up as a corpse in a wedding dress
Small black wings on my naked back
Now hear my prayer, beggin' for mercy
I'm living to die
Satan has taken his toll.
5. On A Night Of Full Moon
Stay away
I am evil
Or you will die by tomorrow
Copulation with the body of a woman recently dead
My ceremonies with all the corpses
Finding some is where I find the ghosts in
It's desecration of souls in their holy lair
Magic circles drawn after midnight
Around graves to be opened
I use a wand and bodies rise
I ask the questions and I burn the remains
It's desecration of souls in their holy lair
On this sacrifice I've been searching on the night of full moon
Copulation with the body of a woman recently dead
My ceremonies with all the corpses
Finding some is where I find the ghosts in
It's desecration of souls in their holy lair
Oh this sacrifice I've been searching on the night of full moon
It's desecration of souls
