Well you better watch out when the Devil comes a’ knockin’
Just be sure that he’s telling you lies
He’ll promise the Earth but what he fails to tell ya,
There’s a price to pay
Come judgement day he’ll be sure to come and get ya
No getting out, no way
Just be aware of his claws on your shoulder
Just take care or you’ll be knocking on the gates of hell
So when the lights are low and the room starts a’ rockin’
When temptation calls look it straight in the eyes
Just say these words “Get thee behind me Satan,
I’m seeking paradise”
There ain’t no way that I’m gonna be taken
No snake eyes on these dice
Just be aware of his claws on your shoulder
Just take care or you’ll be knocking on the gates of hell
So anytime time you hear that knockin’
And you’ve a soul to sell,
Just take heed of what I’m trying to tell ya
Just take care or you’ll be knocking on the gates of hell
You’ll be knockin’
You’ll be knockin’
You’ll be knockin’
Knockin’ on the gates of hell

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!

Was that the end, has time stood still?
Just a flash of light that shined so bright it turned night into day
Am I alone, left all alone
Or another weary traveller just passing on his way
Well the last thing I remember
Were the last rays of the sun
It came so fast, the die is cast
Well that’s the last time I will see the things that I hold dear to me
But what of now, where am I now,
Is there any chance of waking up to some reality?
Well the last thing I remember
Were the last rays of the sun

Long ago they placed a charm
Upon this jewel of the damned
On any man who crossed his palm
With the ancient Star of Beshaan
Deep within there burns a flame
It’s light as bright as the sun
Many fear to speak it’s name
The iced blue Star of Beshaan
It’s power can draw you
It’s calling your name
To gain it’s glory
Just look into the flame
Many men have tried in vain
To own this stone so fine
But no mere mortal can retain
The cursed blue Star of Beshaan
It’s power can draw you
It’s calling your name
To gain it’s glory
Just look into the flame
