Wake Up Dead
I sneak in my own house
It's four in the morning
I had too much to drink
Said I was out with the boys
I creep in my bedroom
I slip into bed
I know if I wake her
I'll wake up
Dead
I wonder, will she find out
About the other
Other lover
Diana
Wake up dead, you die
Wake up dead
Wake up dead, and buried
Wake up dead
The Conjuring
Welcome to out sanguinary sect of worship
Feel at home in our black conventicle
As we anathematise
All of those who oppose us
Don't summon the devil
Don't call the priests
If you need the strength
The conjuring
Obey!!!
Behold the flames rise
From the compass' cardinal points
Burn the sacred oil
And with the ashes you'll annoint
Arrange the symbols of the
Wizard and magician
Light the candles
Place the parchment paper in position
Between its leaves place
The lash from a black cat's eye
A straw of a broom
Fold and burn and centralise
Don't summon the devil
Don't call the priests
If you need the strength
The conjuring
I am the devil's advocate
A salesman, if you will
You know my name
You know my name
I met your father years ago
Gave him what he'd please
He called my name
You'll do the same
I'm claiming what is mine by right
It's time to close the deal
You're bought and sold
Bought and sold
Come join me in my infernal depths
Mephisto's hall of fame
I've got your soul
I've got your soul
The conjuring
What do you mean, "I don't believe in God"?
I talk to him every day
What do you mean, "I don't support your system"?
I go to court when I have to
What do you mean, "I can't get to work on time"?
I got nothing better to do
And what do you mean, "I don't pay my bills"?
Why do you think I'm broke? Huh?
If there's a new way
I'll be the first in line
But, it better work this time
What do you mean, "I hurt your feelings"?
I didn't know you had any feelings
What do you mean, "I ain't kind"?
I'm just not your kind
What do you mean, "I couldn't be president
Of the United States of America"?
Tell me something
It's still "We the people", right?
If there's a new way
I'll be the first in line
But, it better work this time
Ooh oh
Can you put a price on peace?
Peace
Peace sells...
Peace
Peace sells...
Peace sells... but who's buying?
Peace sells... but who's buying?
Peace sells... but who's buying?
Peace sells... but who's buying?
Peace sells... but who's buying?
Peace sells... but who's buying?
Peace sells... but who's buying?
Peace sells... but who's buying?
Peace sells... but who's buying?
Peace sells... but who's buying?
Peace sells... but who's buying?
Peace sells... but who's buying?
No, no no no no
Peace sells...
The light that fills my lonely cell is blocked out by the key
That locks the door to this hell the place they wanted me
Time's racing like the wind execution's near
Oh lord, I wait for death and yes I have no fear
I recall that night, my every breath and step along the way
Closed my eyes, walking as danger paved the way
The devil, and the darkness let her evil wander free
And here on Devils Island the final stop for me
Devils Island
Devils Island
Oh, there is no escape the sea is full of sharks
The tide takes you away, and smashes you on the rocks
The sun is shining but feel not today
It's warmth, it's dying and fading away
Devils Island, here I stay
Devils Island
Oh, hear the call from the grave beyond
Oh, so pernicious her soul it creates song
As there is no man, that is here upon the earth
Able to terminate our noisome will since birth
The priest that reads the sermons is walking next to me
To the stake, my last request to have her burn with me
But, so it did, the heavens opened rain began to fall
The final judgement came, and was spread before you all
Final judgement.
Old, weak, and feeble but the lesson taught to me
To stay away from evil she doesn't care for me
She haunts me in my sleep though I tore that page away
And here on Devils Island I'll always have to stay
Devils Island
Devils Island
Devils Island
Devils Island, here I am
Devils Island
Devils Island
Devils Island
Devils Island
Devils Island
Devils Island
Devils Island
Devils Island
Good Mourning/Black Friday
Good Mourning
Hey, I don't feel so good
Something's not right
Something's coming over me
What the fuck is this?
Ooooooooh
Black Friday (at 2:24)
Killer, intruder, homicidal man
If you see me coming, run as fast as you can
A blood thirsty demon who's stalking the street
I hack up my victims like pieces of meat
Blood thirsty demon, sinister fiend
Bludgeonous slaughters, my evil deeds
My hammer's a cold piece of blood-lethal steel
I grin while you writhe with the pain that I deal
Swinging the hammer, I hack through their heads
Deviant defilers, you're next to be dead
I unleash my hammer with sadistic intent
Pounding, surrounding, slamming through your head. Yeah!
Their bodies convulse, in agony and pain
I mangle their faces, till no features remain
A blade for the butchering, I cut them to shreds
First take out the organs, then cut off the head
The remains of flesh now sop under my feet
One more bloody massacre, the murder's complete
I seek to dismember, a sadist fiend
And blood baths are my way of getting clean
I lurk in the alleys, wait for the kill
I have no remorse for the blood that I spill
A merciless butcher who lives underground
I'm out to destroy you and I will cut you down.
Cut you down
I see you
And I'm waiting
For Black Friday
Burning you
Killer, intruder, homicidal man
If you see me coming, run as fast as you can
A blood thirsty demon who's stalking the street
I hack up my victims like pieces of meat
Blood thirsty demon, sinister fiend
Bludgeonous slaughters, my evil deeds
A merciless butcher who lives underground
I'm out to destroy you and I will cut you down
It's Black Friday
Paint the devil on the wall.
It's Black Friday
Paint the devil on the wall.
It's Black Friday
Paint the devil on the wall.
It's Black Friday
Paint the devil on the wall.
It's Black Friday
Paint the devil on the wall.
It's Black Friday
Paint the devil on the wall.
It's Black Friday
Paint the devil on the wall.
It's Black Friday
Paint the devil on the
Devil on the
Devil on the wall.
Bad Omen
Down fell the stars, as they
Splashed into the sea
"Mi nomine Baphomet"
Come dance with me
Sacrifice the virgins
Spiritual rites
Their master's time has come
The moon is full tonight
Drinking, dancing
They worship, and toast
The devil, who's watching
With demon's remote
Fire, rising
Racing in your blood
Possessed, naive
His service is done
?????
?????
Bloody blasphemy
Sinister's the word
As the demon's take their fill
An orgy's taking place
Human blood will spill
An act of worship
As they conceive the ghouls
Satan has their souls
They sing pagan tunes
The ceremony
Is sure to be cursed
They ask for his blessings
But, down comes the worst
Their bodies, soulless
A corpse from the grave
Their minds are helpless
And no-one can save
No-one can save
No-one can save
No-one can save
No-one can save
No-one can save them oh no
No-one can save them oh no
I Ain't Superstitious
I ain't superstitious
When a black cat crosses my path
And I ain't superstitious
As I break the looking glass
Ain't afraid of no demons
Don't make me laugh!
I ain't superstitious
Under the ladder I go
And I ain't superstitious
It's all bullshit, don't you know!
Ain't afraid of the shadows
I like the dark anyway
And that's a fact ha!
Superstitious
Superstitious
I ain't superstitious
No such thing as bad luck
I ain't superstitious
I couldn't really give a fuck
Take your stupid superstitions
And find some other paranoidal
Chickenshit, sissy, worm, and tell it to him
Superstitious
Superstitious
I ain't super - superstitious
I ain't superstitious
That's right
One more time
Come on
Shut up now
Listen up
Hey
It's my turn
My Last Words
My life's on time
But again my sense is late
Feel a might unsteady
But still I have to play
Six to one's the odds
And we have the highest stakes
And once again I gamble
With my very life today.
Highly polished metal
The oil makes it gleam
Fill the terror chamber
Your mind begins to scream
Your life is like a trigger
Never trouble till you're squeezed
Now you crack a smile,
As you give the gun a tease.
Place the piston down
Now give the gun a spin
Soon as the spinning stops
Oh no, the game starts in
A hateful way of vengeance
A bit of playful sin
Load another bullet
Now the second round begins
A couple grains of powder
A couple grams of lead
A touch against the trigger
A touch inside the head
Take another drink
And raise the last bets
Think about my last words
They might be what I just said
A click comes from the hammer
That couldn't drive a nail
Sense the numbing cold blue
Or the red of Hades' grill
A fraction of a second
Do you lose, or maybe still
Pass it to the left
And collect your mighty kill
Add another bullet
The third round begins
Soon as the spinning stops
Oh no, the game starts in
Please, no I.O.U.'s
No markers for death
Does anybody play?
Anybody
Somebody
Anybody
Whoo!
You, you
Next victim
You
Next to die
You, you
Next victim
You
Your turn to die
You, come on
Next victim
You
Your turn to die.
You, come on
Next victim
You
Your turn to die.
You
Die
