WINTER'S BANE LYRICS

1. Wages Of Sin

On the hours of execution
a spiteful soul, awaits his death
sobbing, he tries to tell them, that he wasn't there

Psycho how does it feel - Just think you're about to die
for the murders that you've committed
The final judgement has been made
Eight families will see their justice done

Tears : From his pale blue eyes
Can't : Mask hatred inside
His fear : Will not subside
To death : He will succumb

Psycho now it's time to go - just think you're gonna die
We haven't received the call
we haven't heard nothing yet
the priest is here to give you your last rites

The wages of sin is death (my son)
you've gambled on your life
I know it's hard to see (my son)
The light that shows the way

It's the killer that's kicking and screaming
I don't want to die (no-no), judge cohegan
I'll haunt from hell
I'll get you i swear by my last words

The wages of sin is death (my son)
you've gambled on your life
I know it's hard to see (my son)
The light that shows the way:

2. Blink Of An Eye

The doors open - Cohegan turns and stares
He's going to see the execution
All eyes are ont the guards as they drag the prisoner in
the crowd's uneasy in all the confusion

Now Cohegan doesn't look well
and the sweat begins to pour
remembering as they reached
the final verdict in the court
His heart was pounding
in his throath - down his arm - through his chest
He wanted to be a judge (Not God)

Just then the prisoner breaks free
Charging through the crowd screaming
(you won't get me)
Tackling the Judge - whit his hands around his throat
It happened so suddenly - in a blink of an eye

The judges body went limp
in the prisoner's choke hold
Pulling Cohegan to him saying
(you won't take my soul)
Judge not or be judged yourself:

A shot rang out - the prisoner fell to the floor
With Cohagan still standing
his heart could take no more
Taking a deep breath, he let out one final sigh
it happened so suddenly - in a blink of an eye

3. Heart Of A Killer

Please relax and take a deep breath
You're about to go under
Think about something peaceful
before you sleep and soon it will be all over

I heard they found a donor at the last minute
He was on his way to be - executed for murder
I even heard this is the Judge
that sentenced him to his death
He must never know - where is heart came from

No he must never know - Heart of a killer
We can never tell a soul - Heart of a killer
No he must never know - Heart of a killer
We can never tell a soul - Heart of a killer

Judge, Judge Cohegan - can you hear me
the transplant was successful
soon you will be up and walking
You will be here with us - just a little longer
Go back to sleep and then you are free to leave

No he must never know - Heart of a killer
We can never tell a soul - Heart of a killer
No he must never know - Heart of a killer
We can never tell a soul - Heart of a killer

Oh,no! Something's wrong - why do i feel this way?
What has happened - What did they do?
Why am i fading away?

4. Horror Glances

I awoke from a bad dream - just to live in a nightmare
It's been six months and
I still fear voices from the past
One by one they call to me, and say the killer lives
His victims cannot rest in peace, until the heart is dead
Why are they haunting me?

Grim reminders of the brutal murders from seeing my reflection
Everywhere I look I see the murderer's obsession
A madman that stalked in the night
living out of the fantasy's rage
Tortured the innoncent in a mirrored room
seeking out pleasure from pain

No one can hear the voices - calling to come nearer
I only hope they'll leave me alone
when i look away from - the mirror
We search for all the answers - as time slowly passes
Life becomes less to me - after the horror glances

I finally realizes, exactly what's been done
I received the blood and soul and the killer still lives on
I'm remembering someone's memories
and I'm accusied of being there
I'm the one who sentenced his death
and justice has prevailed

No one can hear the voices - calling to come nearer
I only hope they'll leave me alone
when i look away from - the mirror
We search for all the answers - as time slowly passes
Life becomes less to me - after the horror glances

The blade just stands there, in the corner of my room
Guess who Cohegan (here I am again)
I brought along some toys of mine
That might help you sleep, should i use a blindfold
Or let you watch as you bleed
Come now Judge it's only death

Gripping the sheets white knuckled and pale
Cohegan couldn't move
He gasped for air - his fingers went numb
as the unholy terror grew

No one can hear the voices - calling to come nearer
I only hope they'll leave me alone
when i look away from - the mirror
We search for all the answers - as time slowly passes
Life becomes less to me - after the horror glances

5. The Silhouette

Hey Cohegan - this is the end of your worthless life
A shocking reality - it's a struggle within your mind
It's a tug-of-war between innocent and guilt
A question of your inner truth, a definition of yourself!

The judge could not believe his eyes
as the blade was coming nearer
Frozen as if crystallized - there was no way to win
A desperate act from a desperate plan
a cry let out from an insane man
Cohegan frumbled trough the drawer

The lights came on
Cohegan couldn't see the shadows danced
so he believe - he raised the gun
with an angry stare and no regrets
To terminate the eternity, to kill the silouette

His mind was wrecked but a tormented smile arose
When the hammer slammed into steel unleashing a lethal dose
The judge laid their denial as his kids stood in the hall
it was then he realized his wife lay there dead
Oh, she's dead

The lights came on
Cohegan couldn't see the shadows danced
so he believe - he raised the gun
with an angry stare and no regrets
To terminatethe eternity - to kill the silouette

The lights came on
Cohegan couldn't see the shadows danced
so he believe - he raised the gun
with an angry stare and no regrets
To terminate the eternity - to kill the silouette

6. Reflections Within

Cohegan is arrested for the murder of his wife
Cohegan stands in the courtroom
with his fate in the jury's hands
We the jury, find the defeandant, Mr. Cohegan
Guilty of murder!
Guilty!!!

As I write these last words
A message to my family
I'm all alone - can you please forgive me

As the twilight fades into the distant sky
a shooting star steals my breeth away
from my one last wish is to feel loved again
to have my heart freed - freed from sin

Now I face my deepedt fear
Not of death or what's beyond
But the memories that left me disgrace

Oh how my eyes deceive me
Doesn't anyone see?
Is that the blade in the mirror or a reflection within?
Is that the blade in the mirror or a reflection within?

Walking trought - the darkness
His last rites are read
Asking for a mirror
Was Cohegan's last request

Oh how my eyes deceive me
Doesn't anyone see?
Is that the blade in the mirror
It's been a reflection within
Oh how my eyes deceive me
Doesn't anyone see?

Why isn't the blade in the mirror
It's been a reflection within
Why isn't the blade in the mirror
It's been a reflection within

7. Haunted House

In a creepy old house on a stormy dale lane
There's a run down sing that says : Enter if you dares
I opened the gates and took a deep breath
and climbed down the decaying stairs

The chilling gray fog made it hard to see
but I noticed the silvery moon
A twisted little fellow, which I thought was a man
Whistled a nightmarish tune
He held out his hand and hissed for his fee
pointed the way then disappeared

It's been too long - there's no way out
I'll die in here - in the haunted house
Glass walls consume - concealing my fate
Is dying worth what I paid - In the haunted house

It's only a small price to pay for my fetish
A hellish scare
I entered for the first floor it reeked of death
Cobwebs everywhere
Down a dark hallway distorted faces on the wall
chanting my name, crying out loud
It was more than real

Trapped in this maze of glass
my soul's been abandoned
Now I scream your name
crying for help I call
My voice is mutated
now I'm a twisted face on the wall

It's been too long - there's no way out
I'll die in here - in the haunted house
Glass walls consume - concealing my fate
Is dying worth what I paid - In the haunted house

8. Night Shade

In the dead still night
grows a plant so divine that atropa belladonna
puts the extract in her wine
The goddess of man's destiny
on jealousy she feeds will cut the thread of live
if the bitch she feels the need

Night shade, night shade
This was man's worst fear
Deadly, night shade
Just hope that it's not here

Dangerous women
Who drop the berry juice into their lustful eyes
Gain the beauty that's so heavenly
but it's the devil in disguise

Night shade, night shade
This was man's worst fear
Deadly, night shade
Just hope that it's not here

Alluring men to her bed
while she has taked them in control
She'll strip his bones of his flesh
and then she will take his soul

Witches used the vines in symbolic rituals
stirring the black caldron of boiling guts and skulls
sorcerers ate the leaves to propel them through the sky
it grew around the castle walls
in the dead still of night

Night shade, night shade
This was man's worst fear
Deadly, night shade
Just hope that it's not here

9. Winter's Bane

[Instrumental]

10. Cleansing Mother

The ice has melted at the polar caps
as Mother Earth gives in to destiny
The warning signs already passed
cleansing all impurities
The Earth rumbles like a growling lion
ready to feast it's prey
Stars are spinning in the sky
as the night turns into day

Volcanos erupt - spilling earth's blood
Belching out lava - destroys all intact
Tidal waves crash - killing as much
floodind the land, changing the map
Tornados touch down - reaping the whirlwind
leading to mass devastation
Tremors throughout - the earth tilts to its side
Leading to man's extintion

Darkened clouds all over head
like thundering hooves of nightmares
The sun now travels north and south
screaming in the air
Prophecies told a shift of the axis
killing all the evil from the world
Just like Lemuria and Atlantis
when a man destroys his hearth, it's cold

Volcanos erupt - spilling earth's blood
Belching out lava - destroys all intact
Tidal waves crash - killing as much
floodind the land, changing the map
Tornados touch down - reaping the whirlwind
leading to mass devastation
Tremors throughout - the earth tilts to its side
Leading to man's extintion

Volcanos erupt - spilling earth's blood
Belching out lava - destroys all intact
Tidal waves crash - killing as much
floodind the land, changing the map
Tornados touch down - reaping the whirlwind
leading to mass devastation
Tremors throughout - the earth tilts to its side
Leading to man's extintion
Extintion...
