Lover dear I feel your body burning Agonized by a wicked desire I will soon reward your patience Let us rest inside this forest clearing Midnight's near but there's nothing to fear Not a breathing soul shall witness You're getting light-headed But I thought you liked my wine Your vision is fading As you realize I've lied Witches' circle, ghostly flames ignite Devil's mistress claims this man tonight Witches' circle, bathed in bloody-red When toward the Devil's house you tread A woman is a hundred steps ahead Wretched soul in servitude eternal Shed your skin, fly unburdened by sin You must join the choir nocturnal Go riding the night wind And forget your earthly ways You struggle in vain, dear You will never get away Witches' circle, ghostly flames ignite Devil's mistress claims this man tonight Witches' circle, bathed in bloody-red When toward the Devil's house you tread A woman is a hundred steps ahead Witches' circle Devil's mistress Witches' circle When toward the Devil's house you tread A woman is a hundred steps ahead

Vexing misfortune will not abate Nor will the vicious blows of fate No rest until you suffocate If nothing's giving you a thrill Perhaps it's time you made a deal One signed in blood with a raven's quill He is calling, so enthralling - he is real Run through the weald where wolves howl Hear a fell wind beckoning Cross into his shadowy land He will, He will, He will guide your hand Surrender unto him your will So he may let you have your fill With blackest hellfire be instilled He is calling, so enthralling - he is real Oh pathway knit from light silver To His arms this child deliver Run through the weald where wolves howl Hear a fell wind beckoning Cross into his shadowy land He will, He will, He will guide your hand

Ophidian - writhing, slithering Insidious - manifest upon my skin Midnight's crimson tides arise Glorious - vision from the other side A spiritual and crystalline fire Is cutting through my animal mind saying Veiled goddess, ascend! Ablaze in ecstasy Undone is the seal, the void is opening Your majesty Do as you will unto me Obsidian - heart as black as coal Clarion - calling each and every soul Radiant - get up off your knees Glorious - see your shell for what it is Past shimmering, ethereal towers Into a lace as old as the stars - glowing Veiled goddess, ascend! Ablaze in ecstasy Undone is the seal, the void is opening Your majesty Do as you will unto me

I drift through the orchard of the original sin Swelling and swaying to the silent din Of the starless night I carry within I'm in love with the void And I'm dying, dying, dying For the end to begin My soul's blown away by a blistering desert wind And carried through dusty tombs where ancient Kings of holy lands forever lie still I'm in love with the void And I'm dying, dying, dying For the end to begin As glittering blood through eldritch tunnels I sink Sentient flames they've taken me to the brink Of the breech 'tween worlds that's pulling me in I'm in love with the void I am one with the void And I'm dying, dying, dying For the end to begin

Stripped of the power you cowards disgraced And unlawfully took Look to the ground, all you vain and proud Look at the broken shepherd's crook Priest's head a-rolling with a terrified look Eyes fixed on a broken shepherd's crook Priest's head a-rolling with a terrified look Eyes fixed on a broken shepherd's crook Dead fingers gripping his little black book Shame you won't witness the hour of delight And the triumph of our bloody birthright There's no time to waste anymore You're done spreading bad taste So kneel down and truly experience grace Priest's head a-rolling with a terrified look Eyes fixed on a broken shepherd's crook Priest's head a-rolling with a terrified look Eyes fixed on a broken shepherd's crook Dead fingers gripping his little black book

The air of virtue so heavy and stale Haze covered eyes, a countenance grim and pale You tried to justify your deeds but you failed You tried to make amends but you got derailed Thus breaks a golden harp's string Fear grips a foolish delusional king Brimstone Seraphim, hellfire revelers As one we burn delighted Fell this paradise! Break the Empyrean Enthrone the Undivided One You call your faithful but nobody hears They stand transfixed in sullen despair The ashen sky is whipped with fiery flares And the sound of demon wings is cracking the air Brimstone Seraphim, hellfire revelers As one we burn delighted Fell this paradise! Break the Empyrean Enthrone the Undivided One

The Weighing 04:18
With guilt and a sense of grave debt They want you enslaved And they keep you tethered And later as mortal hour nears They bring out the scales, saying Heaven or Hell - stand and be measured Well I left calamity in my wake I took all I never needed to take I left peaceful gardens burning behind I let the beast rule me, cruel and unkind And if you should weigh my heart against a feather You'd find it lighter, lighter, lighter than ever I've chosen to walk with the Devil And we'll keep on rolling and reveling together But there is still time to decide What is due whom, and which ties to sever Either place your soul in the pharisee's hands Or come walk with us, the eternally damned And if you should weigh my heart against a feather You'd find it lighter, lighter, lighter than ever We've chosen to walk with the Devil And we'll keep on rolling and reveling together We've chosen to walk with the Devil And we'll keep on rolling and reveling Together, forever more

First you built an altar Then a towering throne of gold That's where you've been dwelling Acting like you're in control of life and death While the masses cower Underneath your iron fist You are drunk on power But there's something still amiss - You're hungry still We have been watching you We offer everything you need We'll make your every wish come true In a feast of lust, gluttony and greed So why don't you join, join, join us? You might as well Come to the banquet with the ageless kings of Hell Come on and join, join, join us! You might as well Come to the banquet with the ageless kings of Hell Tell us of your conquests And your haunted oubliettes How you made your servants Live in fear and bleak regret - are you content We have been watching you We offer everything you need We'll make your every wish come true In a feast of lust, gluttony and greed Well you should be joy, joy, joyful! It is your hour To be devoured by the ageless kings of Hell So why don't you join, join, join us? You might as well Come to the banquet with the ageless kings of Hell Come on and join, join, join us! You might as well Come to the banquet with the ageless kings
