from A Tribute To Judas Priest : Legends Of Metal Vol. I [tribute] (1996)
You're in for surprise You're in for a shock In London town streets When there's darkness and fog When you least expect me And you turn your back I'll attack I smile when I'm sneaking Through shadows by the wall I laugh when I'm creeping But you won't hear me at all All hear my warning Never turn your back On the ripper You'll soon shake with fear Never knowing if I'm near I'm sly and I'm shameless Nocturnal and nameless Except for "The Ripper" Or if you like "Jack The Knife" Any back alley street Is where we'll probably meet Underneath a gas lamp Where the air's cold and damp I'm a nasty surprise I'm a devil in disguise I'm a footstep at night I'm a scream of the fright All hear my warning Never turn your back On the ripper...the ripper....the ripper |

I heard it... in my sleep last night
I heard it... in your sleep last night Now I can hear it again, outside the night is sad I know it's not the wind, outside the night is black Under our window is the Banshee Wailing its haunted tune Under our window is the Banshee Wailing its haunted tune too soon I know that, I must tell you a lie I know that, it could be you and not I Before the sun is rising, the Banshee cannot stay Before the night is dying, a life will slip away Under our window is the Banshee Wailing its haunted tune Under our window is the Banshee Wailing its haunted tune too soon I must light a fire, to chase away the night Let us hold each other tight The cats are gone, I guess... they know Oh... they know what's gonna come Solo: Wead The wailing is so much louder, I need to hold you tight I can feel you getting colder, is it time for you or I? Solo: Shermann-Wead Under our window is the Banshee Wailing its haunted tune Under our window is the Banshee Wailing its haunted tune too soon Let it be me |

You are Selene, the moon in heaven
You are Persephone, Queen of the Underworld Hecate... darkness and terror of the night Hecase... oh, the crossroads are thine You are Diana, you are the hunter of souls The dogs are howling, we dogs know when you approach Let us ride with a beast tonight Let us ride to the crossroads Let us ride with a beast tonight, oh let us ride Solo: Shermann At the crossroads, they buried criminals and suicides At the crossroads, any traveller could lose a life A suitable place, for making a pact with the Devil A suitable place, for us to hold the sabbath Let us ride with a beast tonight Let us ride to the crossroads Let us ride with a beast tonight Let us ride in the dead of night... Even you mortals can ride with her at night And join the night-flying demons, oh you and I Listen to their tales of wandering ghosts Listen to their tales of forgotten times Listen to their tales of the crossroads Listen to their tales of forgotten lives |

Why do I keep on doing this? It's not for me anymore
I'm doing this more for you than I And on that lonely road to nowhere I lost myself to something else I don't know where I'm going or where I've been It's so hard to remember all the things I am, am I? It feels like the end is near, catching up with me Catch me if you can, cause I'm going down into the ground How much longer can I keep going on? I can feel my lost ones coming down Sooner than later, I'll see you all again I feel my purpose here slipping away I see the sun, but it's raining I hope I'm on my way to better things And if I'm not, it doesn't really matter Cause I am doing this more for you than I am me I can no longer pretend, that my life is worth living I... I would rather die, be dead again Hold on Now here it comes, death for one, a lonely son Up then down, I'm spinning around My sould is so confused again Am I floating towards the sun? Hold on, am I dead on? Solo: Shermann Through a tunnel of black, why? Why do I feel so sad? I've been waiting for the end of act 9 to come The curtain must fall, the end of a song Solo: Wead But the song goes on and on The light is so very strong I'm drifting along, I have no will I'm drifting still In a room without walls... I feel the chill No one is here to pick me up Nothingess... what a mess... oh Is anybody there? Is anybody there? I'm talking to you, do you hear me? If I could only see through the wall of nothingness The wall of black They gave me number 9, this is not like the last time Number 9 This time I am really losing my mind I hear an orchestra... I see an orchestra I greet an orchestra... I meet an orchestra I'm in an orchestra... I am an orchestra I kill this orchestra... I kill me? No No don't stop, oh please don't stop Hey stay here, what's going on?... hey wait for me Solo: Shermann-Wead I'm running but I can't keep up Then I realize my feet are gone This is such a weird weird song The orchestra is now a door One is one and two is four, I can see three more Seven doors, seven doors I must choose one before they're gone But I cannot move, oh they are drifting away now But I cannot move, oh they are drifting away now I've got to reach that door, the number 6 I've got to reach that door, the number 6 The number 6-6, the number 6-6-6 The number 6-6-6 The number 6-6-6, that's my door Wuauuu... look at all the colours There goes an orchestra, no more doors Close the window, here they come I hear another end of this song But again the song goes on Dead again, I know cause I've been here before I'm dead agin, if I could only reach that door The number 6-6-6, the number 6-6-6 I'm beginning to miss you again Why can't I just get you out of my mind... I must forget Dead again, I know cause I've been here before I'm dead again, if I could only reach that door Through a purple mist the light is fading I guess I'll have to stay dead A little longer this time Dead again... |

When we were young Since forever, I still remember your ways Since forever, I still remember I have been reading your letter, over and over again I can't believe you're gonna be here today I can't believe... this is Sunday How nice of you to come, it's been so way too long Let me get you another glass of wine To keep our tingues in time Solo: Wead Since forever, I still remember your ways Since forever, I still remember So many things have never been told And now the both of us are way too old Solo: Shermann Since forever, I still remember your ways Since forever, I still remember Like the light of the sun You used to brightened my day But darkness ha taken your place And I can no longer keep it away Since forever, I still remember your ways Since forever, I still remember I ask you for one last time No there won't be any wine Just one more time So you can put flowers on my grave And then leave again... since forever |

Many have seen the statue that cries
But only I have seen her at night Many say that it... is a miracle Many say that her... tears can heal you, but When the sun goes down, and my day begins That's when I saw her change her tears did turn to blood, just like a miracle And through her mouth of stone, I saw the fire From so deep inside, I heard a voice from Hell "I am the lady who cries, I am he who lights the night" "I am Lucifer" Solo: Shermann Many say that it... is a miracle Many say ther her... tears can heal you, but From so deep inside, I hear a voice from hell "I am the lady who cries, I am he who fights the night" Solo: Wead "I'm your eternal friend" "Let my children come to me at day Let my children come to me and pray" Solo: Wead "They don't know who I am Or that they worship the Devil They don't know who I am They think I'm a miracle..." |

Anna... was praying to a god
She had betrayed, so they said Some folk had seen her flying on a broom All hallows eve, under the moon The inquisitor had left her behind Gone for a bite, food on his mind The sun was slowly trying to hide Behind a town so full of pride A sight anna would never see again Torture in the name of christ, confess, oh you witch Torture in the name of christ, you witch you... confess Solo: shermann Sitting naked on the wooden horse Weights to her legs, what a holy cross> Her bloody hands tied to her back Her golden hair burned to black Thumbscrews they had used To crush each tip of her fingers to a pulp In the torture chamber, she couldn't feel much more Of anything... anymore Torture in the name of christ, confess, oh you witch Torture in the name of christ, you witch you... confess Satan's mark... had slipped away They already searched her body twice today And it was all in vain Oh anna here they come again Off the horse, strapado for a friend Up she goes, higher and higher Anna's crying, screaming: "liars" Solo: shermann-wead Confess, confess witch Confess, before you die "yes, yes, I am a witch, may satan take you all" Solo: wead They dropped her from the ceiling To a foot above the floor Her ams and legs disjointed Screams of pain... then finally no... more |

The poison I slipped in your drink Cannot see me, I am but a ghost Never saw your dangerous host Wake up!

How does it feel? (Tell me and I might forget) How does it feel to be so out of breath? How does it feel? (Tell me and I might forget) Buried Alive....Buried Alive He started struggling, oh the fool Moonlight shining in his drool I slammed the shovel straight between his eyes "Stay down," I screamed, "You're here to die!" Never saw me, I am but a ghost Never saw your dangerous host Wake up! You're still alive, wake up and die All you can see in the darkness above is the white in my eye I'm standing on the edge of your grave Looking down into the eyes of the dead Buried Alive....Buried Alive No matter what it is you believe You're lucky if you die in your sleep "Murder!" he screamed, "Oh why!?" but that's a lie You killed me first, so now die I'm dead, but you die, I'm gonna bury you alive "Murder!" he screamed, "Oh why?!" |

The graveyard's shaking Should I turn my eyes and walk away Take a look at the sky, see that evil eye Tonight the Headless Rider rides Midnight...let the churchbell ring It's midnight, All Hallows Eve It's midnight, All Hallows Eve I see him rising from his grave I see him rising from his grave....... "The Chase" On All Hallows Eve, Never to forget He rides the open field In search of his head My GOD, he's so grotesque Should I stay? My GOD, a scythe in his hand NO WAY He's coming...I'm running He's coming...I'm running Deep inside I know I'm the one He's coming...I'm running Deep inside I know this is wrong Help me, I'm falling down Solo: Shermann I'm falling down... I'm looking up...I'm in a grave "Doomed" In this hollow grave I can smell that he's near Will I ever never make it Will I shed a tear Oh it's strange how everything's changing Now my life is fading away In this hollow grave I see a bony hand Don't you ever never take it It's the key to his land Oh it's strange how everything's changing Now my life is fading away Solo: Denner Oh it's strange how everything's changing Now my life is fading away NO! "Epilogue" The mind in my headless body Seems to be chained to the inside I cannot move towards the light... And as he rides away Leaving me with this curse I hear his laughter in the distance Actually it's my laughter, he stole my head Does this mean I'll be The One next year??? |

(Music & lyrics by King Diamond)
When the darkness eats away the day And the moon bears witness to the graves In the shadows we are alive In the shadows, The Light Can you see the ghosts above our heads? We are all in there with the dead In the shadows we are alive In the shadows, The Light Solo: Shermann In the darkness there is no holding back There is no gold in black Deep in the night Everything is clear Clearer than daylight In the land of mystery we share You can come along if you dare In the shadows we are alive In the shadows, The Light Solo: Denner We are hiding in the shadows on your wall We are watching as you kiss your little doll When the darkness leaves the night We cannot see The Light no more No more We are always in the shadows by your door But when the darkness leaves the night We cannot see The Light no more No more There is no holding back There is no gold in black Deep in the night Everything is clear Clearer than daylight Solo: Denner Solo: Shermann |

(Based on a true story)
(Music by Hank Shermann Lyrics by King Diamond) Back in Tennessee, I saw a family haunted by an entity It was a tragedy in another century Oh...They never would know the Evil One that came Little Betsy, the age of 12 Living in a dream The first one to scream Invisible hands leaving their mark in the dark Solo: Denner Night after night The Bell Witch attacked and attacked Torturing Betsy, until a circle was held in candle light Tell us who you are Please tell us who you are "I am the air you breathe I am the Bell Witch I am a million years I am the Bell Witch" Solo: Shermann The Bell Witch decided It was the time for the father to scream Soon taken ill, never again to leave his bed alive Tell us who you are Please tell us who you are "I am the air you breathe I am the Bell Witch I am a million years I am the Bell Witch" "Goodnight John, see you in Hell... Say bye bye to Daddy, Betsy" Call the doctor!!! ..."I made sure" Call the doctor!!! ..."There ain't no cure" Solo: Shermann That night John he died And the Bell Witch never came again Soon they realized, the witch had given John bad medicine |

(Music by Hank Shermann Lyrics by
King Diamond) Do you remember the bridge? The bridge that was standing in ruin Do you remember the sign? Demons and witches were doing They say it's a bad place They say it's a magic place Deep down under The soil of this unholy land Deep down under The roots of a tree they have damned It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree Solo: Shermann Nothing will grow in the ground The Old Oak is killing it all If you are ever around Beware of the Oak and its charm It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree The Old Oak might make you blind The Old Oak might trick your eyes Hypnotized..... It's a bad sign When the Autumn comes and the leaves are gone Oh it's a bad sign The Oak must feed in order to breed Bad sign....... Bad sign It's a bad sign when the Autumn comes And the leaves are gone It's a nightmare found I wonder... what made this magic tree so Solo: Shermann Solo: Denner Hang with me, hang with the hangman Another season in another century Hang with me, hang with the hangman Blood from the madmen we hung in that tree Blood to the ground Blood to the roots.... Red All around the Old Oak Deep into the ground they buried them Indians of ancient times Saw it as a holy shrine Can you believe, sacrificing their own Must have been a mighty GOD To receive a gift of life All the people must have known Happiness would come if sown Can you believe, sacrificing their own Solo: Denner The Old Oak might make you blind The Old Oak might trick your eyes Hypnotized..... Solo: Shermann No! Don't hang with me As I go back to the Old Oak tree |

The mansion was right on the shore Down by the lake Nobody had lived here before But the Devil himself Thirteen invitations Sent out through the night Thirteen invitations They would all arrive in time Solo: Shermann They gathered around the mansion Thirteen in all They had the same intention Never to fall Thirteen invitations Sent out through the night Thirteen invitations Promising eternal life So you want to be alive forevermore I will turn the wheel of time None of you will ever have to die I will turn the wheel of time Turning the wheel Turning the wheel of time But first we must play a game The game of souls Sit down! Don't move around! Deal those cards! They played all night 'till the morning light And the Devil, he smiled on his own They played all night for eternal life Or the chance of losing their souls High will win, low is the sin They played all night in the burning light The thirteen were sharing a nine High will win, low is the sin The final card was in the Devil's hand The King of Diamonds would win Solo: Denner Solo: Shermann They could never leave the mansion Forever inside They had lost their souls of creation But they were alive Thirteen invitations Sent out through the night Thirteen invitations And the mansion was mine |

Howl like a wolf
And a witch will open the door Follow me and meet our high priestess Come, come into my coven And become Lucifer's child Undress until you're naked And put on this white coat Take this white cross and go to the middle of the ring Come, come into my coven And become Lucifer's child Now crush it, crush the cross Suck the blood from this unholy knife Say after me, my soul belongs to Satan Now, now you're into my coven You are Lucifer's child Into the coven Lucifer's child |

Melissa
I'm kneeling in front of the altar Satan's cross upon the wall Strange emptiness, a crystal ball between two candles Melissa, you were mine Melissa, you were the light She was a witch Why did they take you away? Melissa, you were the queen of the night Melissa, you were my light I swear revenge on the priest The priest my die He must die in the name of Hell Melissa, can you hear me? Melissa, are you there? Nothing is left outside at the stake They're taken her away from me |

They're walking by the night
The moon has frozen blue Long black coats a shelter for the rain Their load must get through Now bats are leaving their trees They're joining the call Seven satanic Hell preachers Heading for the hall Bringing the blood of a newborn child Got to succeed, if not it's Satan's fall Home... Come home Evil messengers with blood stained wings Home... Come home Home... Come home Is it Satan's fall? No... It's Satan's call Craniums high on stakes It's Satan's epigraph Something you can't erase... 666 They call him the beast Use your demon eyes, uncover the disguise Time is out.. Yeah, I don't need your god Oh the law of Satan Pray and obey it forever Oh the law of Satan Innocent lovers...it's a lie Iron fists won't do no good against the evil eyes Of seven holy Hell preachers, don't you even try Now they cross the river Styx and see the castle rise So high Waiting on the other shore for Charon to arrive A shape with horns and glowing eyes, Satanrs still alive He receives the sacrifice with evil laughs and pride You better escape, you've got to escape You cannot escape |

I'm back again, back in the evil night
And you're waiting, doomed by the living dead Flames are rising, can't you see you're dying The wolves are howlin', a baby's cry in the distance Cold winds blowing in the dead of night Flames are rising, can't you see you're dying No way to survive this evil night, if the dead won't leave you alone So just say goodbye to all your holy angels, you're gonna die Long black hair, face like a dead, I am here, Satan in my head You can't see nothing but confusing mirrors Now you feel it, it's getting nearer Flames are rising, can't you see you're dying So dark in your mind, breath of Satan in my back I can't help you, cause I'm one of the dead Flames are rising, can't you see you're dying No way to survive this evil night, if the dead won't leave you alone So just say goodbye to all your fuckin' angels. |

Under the sign of the moon Raised from my grave by the dead I was made a mercenary In the legions of hell Now I'm king of pain, I'm insane [SOLO: HANK] You know my only pleasure Is to hear you cry I'd love to hear you cry I'd love to feel you die And I'll be the first To watch your funeral And I'll be the last to leave I'd love to hear you cry [SOLO: HANK] And when you're down beyond the ground I'll dig up your body again And make love to shame Oh lady cry, and say goodbye Oh lady cry, and say goodbye You've gotta say goodbye 'Cause I will eat your mind |
