ORANGE GOBLIN LYRICS

1. Sabbath Hex

Come down great deceiver
Every sinner and saint will be rested
You must bow down non believer
And every fiber of your faith will be tested

Do what thou wilt, it shall be the whole of the law

[Chorus:]
If you understand, raise your right hand
Repeat after me, we are stone free

Slow down red river
The wolves of winter are waiting at your door
You understand you're forgiven
But with forgiveness comes the burden of the law

Do what thou wilt, it shall be the whole of the law

[Chorus]

Curse all the fools that are born without faith

Shield them from the light
Born with traitors eyes
Turned by dark of night
Serpents growing wise

Martyrs lead the way
Death will have its day
Itching, gone insane
You're children of the grave

[Chorus 2x]

Freedom wears a crown
Dogma wears you down
Scorned with hands of doom
Born again Entombed

[Chorus 2x]

Stone free (repeat)

2. Ubermensch

They say I'm a man with thirst for blood
In the eyes of the law I'm a stand up citizen
And I can see that this will be trouble
And you don't want me back around here again

I've been down on my luck
Could only roll snake eyes
So I will rise above you baby
oh, yes I will rise

They say I'm a man that drinks too much
But in the grand scheme of things that's the best of me
You take me for everything that I've got
And you keep coming back to attack the rest of me

I've been down on my luck
Could only roll snake eyes
So I will rise above you baby
Like the lord of the flies
I should've shortened the rope
And told them to throw away the key
And I will rise above you baby
Oh yes, I will rise
I will rise

They say I'm a man that lost my way
But I never had a direction or a sign
And I could've just laid down and died
But I keep on going with my whiskey, beer and wine

I've been down on my luck
Could only roll snake eyes
So I will rise above you baby
Like the lord of the flies
I should've shortened the rope
And told them to throw away the key
And I will rise above you baby
Oh yes, I will rise
I will rise

Hard road wouldn't want it any other
All told, I don't wanna be a wage slave
Can't you see I'm doing the best that I can
Be strong and carry yourself like a man

3. The Devil's Whip

Lost highway, open road
Dead planet, growing old
Full throttle, hidden hand
Born dead, an evil man
No morals, no soul
No law, no self-control
No time for sympathy
Live hard, dire free

Let's ride, let loose, let's rip
That's right, you can't escape the devil's whip!

Cold thunder, cracking stone
Broken hearts and broken bones
Iron horse and iron will
Whiskey blood on blackened steel
Bruised knuckles, swollen pride
Not one to run and hide
Forever, ride alone
A two-lane graveyard he calls home

Let's ride, let loose, let's rip
That's right, you can't escape the devil's whip!

The devil's whip will eat your heart and take your soul
The devil's whip will take a grip and not let go
It's far too late to run, the devil's at your door
The devil's whip will rule your life forever more!

Let's ride, let loose, let's rip
That's right, you can't escape the devil's whip!

Devils whip, I'll see you around
Devils whip, it's dragging you down

4. Demon Blues

Too many years left to rot in the hive
When all shadows fall watch the night come alive

I am the voices in the medicine, I am the starless, soulless sky
And if I ever climb the mountain baby I'll reclaim the endless night
I'm a vampire with a loaded shotgun, my veins are full of speed
And the blood that I crave takes me back to the grave, gives me everything I need

A fire burns at the heart of the darkness
The smell of ashes when the sun goes down
A hidden path to a temple of nightmares
It wears a crown made of leather and bone
A spiral God at the heart of the darkness
It comes alive when there's nothing to lose
A wicked flame sparks the dreams of a madman
I come alive with the Demon Blues

I am the voices in your head, I am the ticking in your brain
I'm all the twisted dreams you have endless misery and pain
I'm the high priest of the wicked baby, I'm a master of disguise
And when you try to scream, you'll know it's me because I have your father's eyes

A fire burns at the heart of the darkness
The smell of ashes when the sun goes down
A hidden path to a temple of nightmares
It wears a crown made of leather and bone
A spiral God at the heart of the darkness
It comes alive when there's nothing to lose
A wicked flame sparks the dreams of a madman
I come alive with the Demon Blues

I come alive, I come alive......

A fire burns at the heart of the darkness
The smell of ashes when the sun goes down
A hidden path to a temple of nightmares
It wears a crown made of leather and bone
A spiral God at the heart of the darkness
It comes alive when there's nothing to lose
A wicked flame sparks the dreams of a madman
I come alive with the Demon Blues

5. Heavy Lies The Crown

Oh lord, my world is coming down
I think my ship has run aground
It's been a fight since I was born
I lost my bearings in the storm
No stars to guide me to the sea
No shining light to set me free
I've got to try to carry on
Don't wanna be the failed son

Time and tide, live for today

Who am I to, to make the rules, to break the rules and slay the fools
How am I, to be the man, who rules the land, with sword in hand
Fire roars, upon the sores that carry heroes off to war
Heavy lies the crown I wear, but I did swear this weight to bear

A simple man, I stand alone
I'm only flesh and blood and bone
But I will fight for my beliefs
And I will set my people free
This land was built by hands of men
And I'll return to rules again
And take my place upon the throne
To build a kingdom of my own

Time and tide, live for today

Who am I to, to make the rules, to break the rules and slay the fools
How am I, to be the man, who rules the land, with sword in hand
Fire roars, upon the sores that carry heroes off to war
Heavy lies the crown I wear, but I did swear this weight to bear

We stand for truth and honour
And on the morning tide
We head to war together
Beneath the Northern sky
and Odin's ravens lead us on to victory...

Into the field of battle
I wear the crown with pride
Til' death, there's no surrender
But if I fall and die
I pray the Valkyrie will carry me home...

To Valhalla. Field of Thunder.
Halls of Power. Torn Asunder.......and heavy lies the crown

6. Into The Arms Of Morpheus

Fire up the engines
Set a course towards the fading sun
An endless journey has begun
Extermination
The age of anthropoid is done
An age of slumber has begun

The arms of Morpheus set me free
Drifting into eternal sleep
Remember nights of insomnia
I slip away to euphoria, praise the valium

Goodbye horizon
Take me to where I wanna be
Take me behind the wall of sleep
Lord, don't deny me
Come calm the storm behind my eyes
Oh lord don't fail to hypnotise

The arms of Morpheus set me free
Drifting into eternal sleep
Remember nights of insomnia
I slip away to euphoria, praise the valium

A numbness coursing through my veins
I hear the planets call my name
Death procession, astral flight
The coffins trail into the night...

Into the night
Into the night
Into the night
Praise the valium

7. Mythical Knives

Bastards of the high seas, carried on the steel breeze
Godspeed toward Kingdom Come
Pirates and raiders, devils crusaders
Buoyant on hard tack and rum

At the Heart of the Sea
Where the spirit can bleed
They fight for their lives
With their Mythical Knives

Vagrants and drifters, freaks and shape-shifters
Lured by the song of Nereid
Rising and falling, drinking and brawling
They pray for their souls to be saved

At the Heart of the Sea
Where the spirit can bleed
They fight for their lives
With their Mythical Knives

They fight tooth and nail for ship and for sail
Broken and cracked by the sun
Through blood and through thunder, the beast torn asunder
Nowhere for cowards to run
A flash of the blade, a suitable fate
Desire for vengeance recedes
Giving no quarter, blood on the water
The bastards lay claim to the sea

Bastards of the high seas, carried on the steel breeze
Godspeed toward Kingdom Come
Pirates and raiders, devils crusaders
Buoyant on hard tack and rum

At the Heart of the Sea
Where the spirit can bleed
They fight for their lives
With their Mythical Knives

A flash of the blade, a suitable fate
Desire for vengeance recedes
Giving no quarter, blood on the water
The bastards lay claim to the sea

8. Bloodzilla

Action! Action!
Add a little chemistry, wait for the reaction
I can't explain what I don't know
You gotta light the touch paper and watch it go!

[Chorus:]
Lightning strikes
It cracks the sky
A flash of light
The beast will rise

Action! Action!
Take another hit for total satisfaction
I've been down for far too long
So if the feelings this good then it can't be wrong

[Chorus]

A great source of power put to work by the devils hand
The missed link in evolution no one understands
The flood, the plague, the drought, the rising of the tide
The leeches cling to me, the king of the parasites

Burning! Burning!
The feeling goes away but the planet keeps turning
Anaesthesia takes a hold
But the horrors unleashed make your blood run cold

[Chorus]

9. The Abyss

From deepest, darkest space, to cruel forgotten seas
And all that lies between, only your God can judge me?
There is a place for me, wherever that may be?
But I can't see the woods, for all the dying trees

Look to the skies for your first sign

Grown tired of weakened prayer
The gold is fading
We stand in line to hear
How we're degraded
Studied in human flesh
A shrine on fire
The autumn leaves have died
With mans desire

[Chorus:]
Proceed, Deceive, Limited, Discovery
First seed, Received, All lies, Believed

I walk a path unknown
Into, the black
My ghosts are all homegrown
And there's no turning back

Look to the seas for your next sign

Untie my bloodied hands
Don't spare the horses
We're off to foreign lands
With arcane forces
To hack upon my throat
No hesitation
Beyond my diocese
All law is futile

[Chorus]

I sail this sip alone
And plough my furrow
Buried in nameless mist
Shapeless tomorrow
The Earth becomes a scar
Ripe for the picking
I see the journeys end
The clock is ticking

[Chorus]

10. Titan

[Instrumental]

11. Blood Of Them

White light, slicing through the night
The Elder Gods arrive
Returned to Mother Earth
For all they left behind
Away from human eyes
Untouched by hands of time
The ancients start to rise
The planets have aligned

The oceans dry and turn to dust
And hidden cities rise again
We long to know the secrets of their ancient sorcery
But we don't have the blood of them
The blood of them

Starlight, the desert sky is alive
The cosmos moves in time
The drums of Mother Earth
Call them all in line
And somewhere in the deep
It echoes through the sea
Awake the deities
From centuries of sleep

The land will burn and turn to ash
And hidden cities rise again
We long to know the secrets of their ancient sorcery
But we don't have the blood of them

There is no more, this is the end
Death from above, in blood they send

12. The Shadow Over Innsmouth

[Instrumental]
