The target is me, a monster you flee
I hate what you say and you do
A mirror is there and look if you dare
The fool that you see's only you
Oh, no, you won't nail me to your tree
Or hang my head up high
No kingdom reigns over me
Despise all the liars I see
Don't give me your
"Save my soul" cure
[REFRAIN:]
I - I'm still alive, and I am soul survivor
You can't understand, why
I - I'm still alive, and I am soul survivor
Damn your holy man - alive
Can't understand, the lord of the land
Your heart and your head made of stone
Lay in the sand my blood on your hands
For God's sake just leave me alone
Oh, no, you won't nail me to your tree
Or hang my head up high
Restless is all I can be
Ruthless and reckless you see
I don't need your
"Save my soul" cure
[REFRAIN:]
Force suppression, that's what you do
Feel me, what's in it for you
Listen, I'm on to your game
All your lies are the same
I must believe that what's a memory now,
Was the only way
To know that all of those you love,
Were just stripped away
And now, if i'm the one to lead us
Into a brand new day,
At peace i must be with the brutal truth
To truly lead the way
(Chorus)
Please God, give me the strength to lead -
It's my charge to keep
Make the sorrow the fuel i need -
It's my charge to keep
And now, we must wipe the tears away
Gather up our inner strength
The loss of those we can't replace,
Will bring about their fate
And though many lifetimes it will take,
To bring justice on our way
We must never falter, we must never fail
This is our charge to keep
(Chorus)
Please God, give me the strength to lead -
It's my charge to keep
Make the sorrow the fuel i need -
It's my charge to keep
I don't want that holy water, it makes me burn
I don't want that holy water, I guess I'll never learn
I'd rather drink from the devil's well
And then I'll go to hell
I'd rather drink from the devil's well
And then I will go straight to hell, oh yeah
High on the mountain of poltersberg there is a quiet lake
They say it's full of demons, that satan keeps them there
Wash away your darkest sins, if that's what you believe
But keep in mind that if you do, who is it you deceive?
Cast a stone into this lake and soon a storm will rise
And suck out all the demons, up into the sky
Wash away your darkest sins, if that's what you believe
But keep in mind that if you do, who is it you deceive?
I don't want that holy water, it makes me burn
I don't want that holy water, I guess I'll never learn
I'd rather drink from the devil's well
And then I'll go to hell
I'd rather drink from the devil's well
And then I will go straight to hell, oh yeah
Solo: denner
Deep in the vally of blankenstein there is a sacred pool
They say that you can drink this water
It's cleansing of the soul
Wash away your darkest sins, if that's what you believe
But keep in mind that if you do, who is it you deceive?
I don't want that holy water, no..no..no..no..no
It makes me burn inside
I don't want that holy water, oh..no..
I can feel the shadows lurking
I can feel them closing in
I can hear their evil chanting
This is not a dream for a king
Chorus:
Dancing the witche's dance... dancing the dance
Dancing the witche's dance... dancing the dance
Cold hands, leading the way
Through the woods and into the night
Outside nothing is real, dreaming... I'm dreaming
I can see a fire burning
Hooded shapes are all around
I can see a throne of silver
Thirteen we are in all
Chorus
Before the goat of mendes... we all must take our turn
Into the magic circle... where still the fire burns
We're spinning round and round... until one takes a fall
The fallen one will not return, the fallen one must burn
Solo: d
Just like a demon's eye
The moon is dancing on the blackened sky
I'm awake but nothing is real
Dreaming... not dreaming
I can feel the shadows lurking
I can feel them closing in
I can hear their evil chanting
This is not a dream at all
Chorus
I wish this was only a dream... a dream
Within a dream
--------
As friends gather round and mourners they weep
I'm alive but dead, awake but asleep
My mind thinks of all the things I have done
And on ............. and on
My body is cold but my heart beat goes on
As they lower me down into that hole in the ground
I scream out for help but they hear not a sound
I tear at the lid, my fingers they bleed
Summon the dead.............
Is this happening to me or is it just a dream
Baphomets call...............
Blood on my hands.............
"Let me out of here"
My bones are decayed, my flesh it doth rot
I'm lying in silk, take the lid off this box
I promise the rise of my body this night
Summon the dead........
My lungs gasp for air, my eyes scream for sight
I'm telling you all........
Baphomets call..........
Screaming in torment......
Blood on my hands........
Take heed of my plea........
Answer my call...............
I'm gonna be free..........
