Odin's Court1. HEADLESS CROSS Look through the people, and on through the mist To the hill of the headless cross Where all witches meet, on a night such as this, And the power of darkness is host They come face to face, eye to eye, soul to soul, With an Angel that fell from the sky Borne on the air, are the screams and the wails Of the masses appointed to die Listen for the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture, At the headless cross, at the headless cross From the first evil night, when a black flash of light Cut the crucifix half to the ground There's been no escape from the power of Satan, On a nation so brave and so proud Listen for the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture, At the headless cross, at the headless cross How do you feel, when the locks refuse the key And the master is calling your name, Does the luck of the charm, really keep you from harm Does the talisman protect you from pain Listen for the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture, At the headless cross, at the headless cross From the first evil night, when a black flash of light Cut the crucifix half to the ground There's no escaping from the power of Satan For a people so brave and so proud Listen for the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture, At the headless cross, at the headless cross At the headless cross, at the headless cross Where will you run to, at the headless cross Look, to the headless cross 2. WHEN DEATH CALLS He saw the world, dim with the glow of the vertical sun His skin crept cold knowing that this was the hours of dying Misguided mortals you'll burn with me, Spirit of man, cannot be freed When death calls - this is the hours of dying When death calls - the spirit of man can be freed When death calls - there's no tomorrow When death calls - just an evil shadow Tell me not fear of the flames means that heaven is closer For I believe, Satan lives, in the souls of dying Misguided mortals you'll burn with me, Spirit of man, cannot be freed When death calls - heaven is closer When death calls - feel the heat of the flames from the souls of the dying When death calls - here it comes, here it comes, here it comes When death calls - you're gonna burn Don't look in those sunken eyes Don't look and you'll stay alive Don't laugh in the face of death or your tongue will blister Can't die until Satan says, you die And Satan takes your soul In the face of death or your tongue will blister Don't look in those sunken eyes Don't look and you'll stay alive Don't laugh in the face of death or your tongue will blister Can't die until Satan says, you die The Devil takes your soul With all his wrath he calls the reper When death calls - this is the hours of dying When death calls - the spirit of man can be freed When death calls - there's no tomorrow When death calls - just an evil shadow When death calls - feel the heat of the flames from the souls of the dying When death calls - your gonna burn, burn, burn When death calls - heaven is closer When death calls - I can feel it, gonna take you down 3. DEVIL AND DAUGHTER Silence is mocking, the dawn of a new day Devil and Daughter, are both on their way The Evil of her nature, collects in her eyes With him there's no fear, of the dawn bringing light Baptised with fire, to wild to be tamed She's hot, evil and ready, to take any man Let no one put asunder, the power or the pain He is the master of hell, riding again Devil and Daughter - pleasure and pain Devil and Daughter - is this the end A thousand times over, you'll hear on the wind In the name of hell, these sinners never sinned But Satan never listens, to the words that they send Drenching the soil with blood, when will it end Devil and Daughter He's got the power she's got the pain Devil and Daughter She'll break any woman and take any man Devil and Daughter Hand in hand with the reper 4. THE SABBATH STONES Fire and water, wind and rain Wings that carry hell in every vein World possessions, endless tears Truth and knowledge stolen all their years World turns slowly, sun don't shine Silence still the air and kills the chime Words are poison, passion bleeds 2000 years on earth has sown the seeds The time of dreams has turned The night is gone and light shines on Where darkness once would hide With spirits high, our fears were born [CHORUS] Receiver of light, the kingdom of God will guide you Keep you from a restless heart Deceiver of night the stranger that laughs Within you, the reason for your restless heart Is the keeper of the Sabbath Stones Fire and water, wind and rain Wings that carry hell in every vein World turns slowly, sun don't shine Silence still the air and kills the chime Can faith destroy desire? Each breath a prayer Each step brings fear The eyes of they that see have evil stare Watch over me [CHORUS] And He's the keeper of the Sabbath Stones What God is this that stands to hear his people cry? What hand would strike and watch his people die? What life that takes, what future did we earn? It's our mistakes, take need the Sabbath Stones What life that takes, what future did we earn? It's our mistakes 5. THE BATTLE OF TYR (Istrumental) 6. ODIN'S COURT As you walk alone the night surrounds you like a shroud The dreams you had were once of love and being proud Misty horizons block your vision of the world But the raven's eyes will show you all you need to know The land you loved is now so barren and so cold The name of God rings out so high in your soul This time is masters will lead us by the sword And should we fait them all prevails in Odin's court 7. VALHALLA Leading us on, to the land of Eternity Riding the cold cold winds of Valhalla The Kingdom of Odin is the Kingdom of Gods Where only souls of the brave may rest in peace But someone among them had the skill of deceit And raised the hand that would open the road to Hell [CHORUS] When the winds of Valhalla run cold Be sure that the blood will start to flow When the winds of Valhalla run cold Valhalla The ring has been broken and a soul must be saved Among the bravest of men, who rides to Hell The longships are sailing and the chariots ride And yes the anger of Thor will serve you well [CHORUS] Raise your hands Reach and Valhalla will save your soul Raise your eyes And Odin will lead us on They say that history repeats itself Upon the year of the seventh Century Well nobody knows no you never can tell So you'd better run now and hide away [CHORUS] 8.

People always tried to change me, alter everything I am, Though you find this so amusing, you left me in This state I'm in. Virtual death You may think this existence, is just a human Weakness, Inside my mind it's near the end. Virtual death I'm losing, I'm fading fast. I'm dying, virtual death. 10. EVIL EYE Something about the way that you look on me, You watch every move, every word, every fantasy, Got no time for love, there's something on your mind, Got the face of an angel but the stare of a devil inside. [CHORUS:] Got hell looking up, heaven looking down, People say the woman's got an evil eye. Got hell looking up, heaven looking down, Free me from the woman with the evil eye. I turn away but still I see that evil stare, Trapped inside my dreams I know you're there. Thoughts of happiness you destroyed them all, First inside my head, then inside my soul. [CHORUS:] Got hell looking up, heaven looking down, People say the woman's got an evil eye. Got hell looking up, heaven looking down, Free me from the woman with the evil eye. 11. KISS OF DEATH This is no ordinary soul, that you're destroying, Not just another life that drifts along with the sands of time. We tried to show you on your way, but still, you cannot see, you're hurting me You told too many lies and so it ends, yeah You tried to touch me, but then I knew your plan, You tried to take my world away, oh no, Now I see it, it's as clear as day, No you'll never stand a chance, oh no you'll never stand a chance. You tried to lead me, to the land where you keep your lies, But I've seen this read before, oh yeah, There is no reason why I should listen now, No you'll never stand a chance, oh no you'll never stand a chance. So many people tried before, but still I came through stronger than before, Someone like you will never get through my door no more, Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible. Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible. Yeah. Every lie that you tell you get closer, Closer to the edge of the Cauldron and in to the fire, yeah. Every life you destroy will return, it will come back and haunt you, For ever and ever. Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible. Nothing you can do will hurt me, I am indestructible. Yeah. This is no ordinary soul that you're destroying, Not just another life that drifts along with the sands of time. 12. GUILTY AS HELL Step back and look at you, and tell me that is what you want to be, You realise that what you're seeing, is a replica of me. Inside my world is pretty grim, that even I can't survive in, I wouldn't try 'cause I know you. Deep inside you know you're guilty as Hell. Deep inside you know you're guilty as Hell. You realise that what you're seeing is just a replica of me, Only me. Oh it makes no difference if you're the only one, It doesn't matter when all is said and done, Gonna feel the same, God will put the blame on you. Oh yeah. If I was you, If I was you, I'd wanna see, I'd wanna see inside my head, I'd wanna know if I was fuckin dead, I'd wanna know what's going on, Someone tell me the truth. There's no fear in a fallen Angel, there's no love in a heart made of stone, There's no truth in a heart that is screaming, Deep inside you're as guilty as Hell. There's no fear in a fallen Angel, there's no love in a heart made of stone, There's no truth in a heart that is screaming. Deep inside you're as guilty as Hell. You're guilty. 13. LOSER GETS IT ALL It's a loaded dice, that you throw this time, If you turn the Ace, it'll turn out fine, When you spin the wheel, and you get your call, South of the line, well the loser gets it all. One too many days, one too many nights, You cried too many tears, had too many fights, And you know it's a bad time, Bad time to lose. God knows there's no good time. Too many days, and too many nights, You cried too many tears, had too many fights, And you know it's a bad time, Bad time to lose, Yeah, yeah, Bad time to lose, Bad time to lose, Bad time to lose 14. DISTURBING THE PRIEST Let's try getting to the sky, hang on or you're going to die Sour life can turn sweet, it's laying at your feet Sweet child with an innocent smile watches closely all the while Don't be fooled when he cries, keep looking at the eyes Good life is contradiction because of crucifixion If you're ready and have the need, I will take your soul and plant my seed You just gotta listen to the night at the ending of the day You just gotta listen to the night as safety slips away Moving out of sight are the things you need to see to feel And as they slip away becoming so unreal unreal You just gotta listen to the night as you're going up the stairs You just gotta listen to the night and don't forget to say your prayers And as you lose control to the eyes in dark disguise And icy fingers send electric lies We're disturbing the priest, won't you please come to our feast Do we mind disturbing the priest, not at all, not at all, not in the least ahhhh, Do we mind disturbing the priest aahhhh, not at all, not at all, not in the least The force of the devil is the darkness the priest has to face The force of the night will destroy him but will not disgrace To get into his mind and to his soul you gotta set alight The flames of doubt so deep inside inside The devil and the priest can't exist if one goes away It's just like the battle of the sun and the moon and night and day The force of the devil, that's we're all told to fear Watch out for religion when he gets too near too near We're disturbing the priest, won't you please come to our feast Do we mind disturbing the priest, not at all, not at all, not in the least Good life is contradiction because of the crucifixion If you're ready and have the need, I will take your soul and plant my seed aahhhh, ahhhh, ah ha ha ha haaa!

HEART LIKE A WHEEL In these days of confusion You've turned angry and cold You say it's an illusion There's no fire in your soul Say you don't love me Say you don't care But don't leave me standing here Your heart's like a wheel Just waiting to roll It's longing for freedom To get out on the road You're hungry for something That you may never find So many reasons Your love has made you blind You say you don't love me You say you don't care So don't leave me standing here Don't leave me standing here You say you don't love me You say you don't care Don't leave me Don't leave me standing here Life ain't been easy Full of passion and pain Told me no reason Why I was to blame Don't leave me standing Don't leave me standing Don't leave me standing On my own 16. THE SHINING There's a man who sees all there is to see What the future holds for all As the days grow dark, was his sole and final warning Beware of the one with invisible friends They will steal into your mind And all too soon, the signs begin to show Rise up to the shining Live long live now Rise up to the shining Don't be blind by fools again As the page is turned and the story's told From the visions he had seen The house on the hill with the haunting eyes that call No one left when madness came out To play its game If you stay too long, you'll finally go insane Rise up to the shining Live long live now Rise up to the shining Don't be blind by fools again Bells will take their toll On your way There's no way we're born to shine Before our time, all your life, you're On your own Lonely road Lost in a time Let the light lead your way To the golden throne It's the only way Rise up to the shining Live long live now Rise up to the shining Don't be blind by fools again Rise up to the shining Love long live now Oh rise up, to the shining Wise up they're gonna steal your mind Rise up, the house is gonna haunt you No one laughed, no one cried You stayed too long You're finally gonna stay |
