My eyes are open in the full moon’s light My body rises in the heat of the night, oh no, Pray for me now I can’t stop it, it won’t go away But will I ever see the light of day again? Pray for me now Heed the warnings from your mind, Can’t you hear your conscience screaming all the time Moonlight With the shadows on the ground Moonlight My mind is aching, I can feel the pain My bodies shaking, I can feel the strain, oh no, Pray for me now My eyes are pierced by the bright moonlight I see the future in the dead of night, oh no, Pray for me now Heed the warnings from your mind, Can’t you hear your conscience screaming all the time You must be strong, straight from your heart You must be strong, don’t drop your guard Never give in, even when sin is calling to you In the shadows I can slip away Anyone can be the next to pay, oh no, Pray for me now And now the dawn is rising all around And another missing person’s found, oh no, Pray for me now Heed the warnings from your mind, Can’t you hear your conscience screaming all the time Moonlight With the shadows on the ground Moonlight There is evil all around Moonlight You don’t know what you’ll find Moonlight When the Wolf devours your mind! Moonlight

As darkness draws near The coven appears Weaving together a spell All through the night Performing their rites Calling the demons from hell The prisoners they take Are tied to a stake To go through a trial by fire Cursing their names They scream as the flames Grow to get higher and higher… Trial by fire In dark dampened caves No one was saved Satan had watched their cremation On the other side Watching with pride And greeting them all with elation The victims they send To go to their end To go through a trial by fire Cursing their names They scream as the flames Grow to get higher and higher… Trial by fire Watch for a while as they go through their trial Into the fire the flames growing higher Sing with elation and see their cremation The bodies are burning and Satan’s returning

I must leave you now my daughter With the key to all mankind Within there lies the sins of all creation And whatever happens to me You must promise me one thing You will never lift the lid for any reason We’ve a world so full of beauty Where we have no fear of sin For I keep here things yet unknown to man So again I beg you daughter You must never look within Or I guarantee you we will all be damned All that you see here All that’s before you Came from Pandora’s Box All that’s unholy All that is evil Came from Pandora’s Box Oh but when the box was opened Every demon then ran wild All that remained was hope so we were told She had tried so not to weaken But temptation was too strong Which goes to prove curiosity killed the world All that you see here All that’s before you Came from Pandora’s Box All that’s unholy All that is evil Came from Pandora’s Box

Remember the men The young and the old Who on Flanders Field Lay still and so cold Remember the men The aircrafts and crew Whose spirits and souls Still fly in the blue Hold high the flame Up to the sky Hold high the flame Don’t let the memories die And what of the ships Where no hands were saved They still serve their cause From watery graves So remember the day When petals they fall Be grateful to them They died for us all Hold high the flame Up to the sky Hold high the flame Don’t let the memories die

From Hell I came That’s where I’ll return I serve the Master I’ll bring you to burn Bow down to me Made in His image Cast out of stone I am the Idol I serve Him alone Give Him a sign Show your loyalty Devote your life To serving me Bow down to me Satan’s children dressed in black Too late, can’t turn back You’re one of the chosen few Hear the voice calling you Feel the heat, feel the fire See the flames reaching higher Too late, can’t you tell You’re going to burn in Hell You’re going to burn! From Hell I came That’s where I’ll return I serve the Master I’ll bring you to burn Bow down to me

When you’re in danger You feel your life blood slip away Then you wonder Do the Gods hear when you pray? But if you stand strong Don’t let your spirit ever die Then he’ll send down A winged avenger from on high Oh, oh the Son of Odin He’s coming… When the suns rise from the west That’s the time that you should start to pray When the eagle leaves the nest That’s the sign that he is on his way The Son of Odin So when you’re weary And you just feel like giving in Don’t surrender, no, Never let the tyrants win Oh, oh the Son of Odin He’s coming… When the suns rise from the west That’s the time that you should start to pray When the eagle leaves the nest That’s the sign that he is on his way The Son of Odin

Life is ebbing away from the king His evil son watches and waits in the wings His time has come, his father will die Up in the tower the sorcerer schemes Tirelessly working fulfilling his dreams This wicked succession he’s pledged to defy The thunder it roars, the rain crashes down The lightning it charges the air all around A magical spell, a spark from a flame Joins with the water, the earth from the ground The wizard must make his potion Earth, air, water and fire Are called on by sorcery, cast in the spire The sovereign remedy can’t be delayed All through the night he slaves at his task At last, triumphant, he raises the flask The essence is made, the kingdom is saved! The thunder it roars, the rain crashes down The lightning it charges the air all around A magical spell, a spark from a flame Joins with the water, the earth from the ground The wizard has made his potion The essence is made, the kingdom is saved A spark from a flame, will make him live again

If you’re cheated and used, hurt and abused Well I think that you’d better take care You do the things you think right but you just seem to fight Well I think that you’d better beware You’re a born loser For no reason or rhyme you just lose every time From this jinx you just can’t get away Every message you send always seems to seem to offend Well you know you’re unlucky that way You’re a born loser Try every night but you just can’t make it Thought you were right but you know you can’t win So please take my advice and always think twice Don’t just jump at the first thing you see What seems good at the start ends up breaking your heart And of that you can sure guarantee You’re a born loser Try every night but you just can’t make it Thought you were right but you know you can’t win Always lie when you can, always curse always damn Cause you’re no better off if you’re straight Just turn the whole World down flat, they won’t thank you for that But they still give you longer to wait You’re a born loser Try every night but you just can’t make it Thought you were right but you know you can’t win

So many times I’ve stood and wondered Is this madness, what’s happening to me My many dreams of grim illusion Confusion, the visions I’ve seen Now I’m standing here I’m waiting for the winds of time to change First there was light Now darkness remains to claim the day So many times I gave my warning Your scorning, was all I received So many times I tried to tell you My message, why can’t you see? Now I’m standing here I’m waiting for the winds of time to change First there was light Now darkness remains to claim the day Oh winds of change Oh beware the winds of change Now I’m standing here I’m waiting for the winds of time to change First there was light Now darkness remains to claim the day Now I’m standing here Waiting for the winds of time to change

The Devil’s rage is upon us Wasting the flesh and now the soul Through Man he fights the good with evil To make the Earth into a burning Hell The bell is ringing out for you Listen, in Satan’s Valley Heaven turns into Hell Day turns into darkness When you hear the ringing bell The bell is ringing out for you The powers of darkness, Ringing out, For you, Hear! A black crow lies in waiting Waiting, for the toll, Watching you and getting closer You’d better run or lose your soul The bell is ringing out for you As storms give way to peace You daren’t look back for what you’ll find Was it a dream, just an illusion Was it all just in your mind The bell is ringing out for you The powers of darkness, Ringing out, For you, Hear!

Cursed with second sight I see visions in the night Our future destiny It comes and shows itself to me In my mind’s eye I’ve seen it all Our fate, our destiny, our fall My tortured mind cannot break free From all I see Is it now too late Can we try to change our fate? Can these visions save My people going to their graves? In my mind’s eye I’ve seen it all Our fate, our destiny, our fall My tortured mind cannot break free From all I see In visions of darkness, visions of darkness Visions of darkness, visions of darkness If what I see is true There is nothing we can do For though I see it all We cannot avoid our fall In my mind’s eye I’ve seen it all Our fate, our destiny, our fall My tortured mind cannot break free From all I see In visions of darkness, visions of darkness Visions of darkness, visions of darkness Visions of Hell

Alone in darkened city streets You realise what people mean by fear You hear a distant ethnic tongue And warning signs start flashing crystal clear Night hunters, they stalk their prey Knives sharpened, the cowards way The low life that crawls In the shadows of the night Your mind sparks ‘Christ the Yanks were right I’d feel much safer carrying a gun’ Then just thank God that you’re a man Or they’d beat you up and take you one by one Good people just stay away These hell makers are here to stay Controlling their worlds From the shadows of the night You panic now you’re in their sight And beads of sweat start running down your brow The fever spreads you start to burn Just how much more of this can we allow Good people just stay away These hell makers are here to stay Controlling their worlds From the shadows of the night
15.
I’m dragged screaming to the altar I’m down on my knees A figure in black High on the throne… I made a deal with the Devil My soul’s heading for the fire I’m burning The black candle flames flicker There’s no returning I made a deal with the Devil I made a deal with the Devil I made a deal with the Devil I sold my soul
16.
To gain the king’s glory They’ll fabricate stories and lie They’ve offered me reasons But murder and treason, not I Must ride like the wind Treachery Will be the death of us all I must find my master Before this disaster arrives We surely are done for And now we must run for our lives Must ride like the wind Treachery Will be the death of us all I must keep on riding There’s no use in hiding my tracks If you lead a good life You’ll end up with a knife in your back Must ride like the wind Treachery Will be the death of us all Ride like the wind
17.
Skin of oyster white, cascading flaxen hair Always sought but never found Green eyes shining bright with captivating stare Feel the shaking of the ground, she’ll astound Just open your mind And open your heart Llagaeran will hear She can heal you from a thousand different ills Never seeking a reward With her potions gathered high amongst the hills And her softly chanted words You’ll be cured Her power will never fail Not while her passions and her sympathies prevail The secret never dies Look for the woman with kindness in her eyes Llagaeran will hear Open your mind, see what you find Open your eyes, you’ll be surprised Just open your eyes
