In the darkest night, in my deepest dreams It’s always waiting there for me When silence falls, and shadows creep and the Moon is rising high... I feel the pull, I hear the call I heed my mother’s voice, my skin begins to crawl I shed this lie, embracing what I am New blood howling through my veins of Wolf not man Bound by the Moon, I shed flesh and bone As I give in and I let go Blessed by this curse, it sets me free to run As the Moon is riding high... I feel the pull, I hear the call I heed my mother’s voice, my skin begins to crawl I shed this lie, embracing what I am New blood howling through my veins of Wolf not man Blood stains won’t wash away Wolf’s blood won’t fade away I feel the pull, I hear the call I heed my mother’s voice, my skin begins to crawl I shed this lie, embracing what I am New blood howling through my veins of Wolf not man

I cannot lie, I must confess, I always knew how this would end my dear, but still I’m here, I love a tragic story I saw the lights, I heard the train, I stood right on the tracks, I held your hand in mine, but I couldn’t stop my laughing I feel it burning bright... We are so cold, this light so warm Our faces slashed forever into ghastly smiles Empty skies and lonesome roads stretch out forever as we walk, into this void, Forever Bound So, here we are, forever more, eternal in our misery You look so sad, I’ll carve some joy into your ruined face Our one last kiss, black powder burns, I felt it all then felt it go Then came your screams when you found me, right here, waiting Laughing through my shattered teeth... We are so cold, this light so warm Our faces slashed forever into ghastly smiles Empty skies and lonesome roads stretch out forever as we walk, into this void, Your gift to me, eternity, but you could not accept your fate, Please, darling, smile, let me carve it in your face Please, darling, please, scream for me, All that’s left for us is time You brought us here, but I’ll keep us here forever... We are so cold, this light so warm Our faces slashed forever into ghastly smiles Empty skies and lonesome roads stretch out forever as we walk, into this void... Forever Bound

Another cold night, another shallow grave You never should have come here You should have stayed away Now your home, Eternity’s so long I am the creeping shadows, the demon you deny I am your dark desires the curse that fills the sky I am the one, now there’s nowhere left to run Dark are these hollows, dark are these ways I made and keep them, Death be my name You’re almost in Heaven, still miles inside Hell You’re never going home, These hills be your tombstone You’re the one who called me, now you pray I go away I put my mark upon you now forever you will stay Your brand new God, now pay me with your blood I am the wind around you, the fear you try to hide I am the ice that grips your heart The terror as you die Now come with me, you have new worlds to see Dark are these hollows, dark are these ways I made and keep them, Death be my name You’re almost in Heaven, still miles inside Hell You’re never going home, These hills be your tombstone You called my name

Coming Home 03:46
I’m a shadow, I’m a ghost, I’m a fiend I’m damned to walk these roads Without a soul, without a heart, without a face But now it’s time, I’m coming home I’m coming home I remember every lie, every sin, Every scar along the way You can’t run, you can’t hope, you can’t hide, Your number’s up, now it’s time to pay... I’m coming home, I’m on my way It’s been so long, now it’s time to pay... You prayed that I’d forget, but I’ve counted every day The hours oh, so close, and now there’s nothing left to say Farewell to fields, where joy dwells Hail, horrors, hail, I’m coming home So let us rest, let us sleep in sweet repose, On these blood soaked sheets, I’ll show you all the gates, and circles and the damed, In our blackest dreams... I’m coming home, where angels fell We’ll dream a scream, let’s burn in hell Hail misery, hail horrors, hail I’m on my way to see you, dear, I’m coming home I’m coming home I’m coming home

Let It Bleed 03:25
Tear away the mask you keep No jaw to move, no tongue to speak Washed in tides of your misery Let’s see how much there is to see Staring at you from ages past The fire burns, the heart pounds fast Let it bleed, I wasn’t meant to follow Let it burn, To hell with your tomorrow Let it bleed, I’ll see to my own end Let it burn, And then it starts again Let it bleed Miles below, where your nightmares sleep Pry your eyes, find what you seek Among the scars, among failed dreams Stitched together, what you failed to be Leering at you from ages past The fire burns, the heart pounds fast Let it bleed, I wasn’t meant to follow Let it burn, To hell with your tomorrow Let it bleed, I’ll see to my own end Let it burn, And then it starts again Let it bleed Follow it down, let it crawl your spine Let it worm its way inside your head Repeat the lies you know so well Feel the change, Now you’re feeling dead Miles below, in your dread-filled deep It’s in the trenches, find what you seek Among the scars, and insanity Piece together, what you failed to be Leering at you from ages past The fire burns, the heart pounds fast Let it bleed, I wasn’t meant to follow Let it burn, To hell with your tomorrow Let it bleed, I’ll see to my own end Let it burn, And then it starts again Let it bleed

The light’s so dim in here, I fear I’ve lost my way I’ve never been so close, and yet so far away I feel it pulsing, as the whole world melts away As something deep within me dies A new religion, a burning effigy New life opens up its eyes... I’ll burn it down and walk away These dying embers will light my way No more past, no more yesterdays This burning season, I’m born again This season calls me home, as darkness takes the day These visions twist and turn, these shadows loom and fade I’ll tear apart every memory that’s left and cast the pieces to the wind Nothing left to tie me to the past New day or beginning of the end? I’ll burn it down and walk away These dying embers will light my way No more past, no more yesterdays This burning season, I’m born again Bound by no faith, bound to no ways With each breath I live and die, this season burning bright Unto this I swear, vertigo of burning leaves I’ll burn it down and walk away These dying embers will light my way No more past, no more yesterdays This burning time, I’m born again The light’s so dim in here, I fear I’ve lost my way I’ve never been so close, and yet so far away This season calls me home, as darkness takes the day These visions twist and turn, these shadows loom and fade

Hell Follows 03:28
Speak the name Speak the name that they forbid you Speak the name and I’ll be there Call my name Call my name and I’ll be with you Call my name and I’ll be there Speak my name Speak my name and I’ll be with you Speak my name and I’ll be there Light the flame Light the flame and burn a tribute Light the flame and I’ll be there And as the sun goes down A nightmare fills the sky It’s coming, It’s coming down I follow Hell, Hell follows with me It’s coming, It’s coming down I follow Hell, Hell follows with me

Curse 03:33
Passed away, I lost the day Inside another dream I trace the cracks and try to find a way back home Nothing ventured, nothing gained but every pleasure has its price And all that shines will turn to rust I walk this path, bringing home the lost, bringing home the damned There is no rest, each night it starts again This curse that has no end Don’t look my way, don’t look If you find me on your path, please turn away Don’t look my way, don’t look If you find me on your path, please turn away If you find me on your path, please turn away Another night, I can’t tell When every moment feels the same The clock ticks slow when it’s forever Memories are luxuries when there’s a hole inside your mind All the colors blur and then fade I walk this path, bringing home the lost, bringing home the damned There is no rest, each night it starts again This curse that has no end Don’t look my way, don’t look If you find me on your path, please turn away Don’t look my way, don’t look If you find me on your path, please turn away If you find me on your path, please turn away Don’t look my way, don’t look If you find me on your path, please turn away Don’t look my way, don’t look If you find me on your path, please turn away Don’t look my way, don’t look If you find me on your path, please turn away Don’t look my way, don’t look If you find me on your path, please turn away If you find me on your path, please turn away If you find me on your path, please turn away

Suffer 02:34
Tonight I’m digging, one shallow grave It’s time to bury my mistake I kept you close, I let you in I’m gonna love it when you break I want you to suffer I want you to suffer I want you to suffer I want your blood... Feed this fire with gasoline, I bled for you, you scream for me It’s time to set my devil free My soul is ice my blood is hot, hold me tight as we both rot We’re gonna suffer, you and me Tonight you’re resting, in a shallow grave I always bury my mistakes I kept you close, I let you in But you’re the one that chose your fate I want you to suffer I want you to suffer I want you to suffer I want your blood... Feed this fire with gasoline, I bled for you, you scream for me It’s time to set my devil free My soul is ice my blood is hot, hold me tight as we both rot We’re gonna suffer, you and me I’ve been waiting, waiting so long for this day to come I’ve been waiting for you... Feed this fire with gasoline, I bled for you, you scream for me It’s time to set my devil free My soul is ice my blood is hot, hold me tight as we both rot We’re gonna suffer, you and me We’re gonna suffer, we’re gonna suffer, we’re gonna suffer, you and me We’re gonna suffer, we’re gonna suffer, we’re gonna suffer, you and me

Pine Deep 02:39
Nothing good will grow in the shadow of this place This is unhallowed ground Where the Bone-Man put the Devil down But evil never dies, it only changes shape It lies there watching, waiting, You can’t escape your fate Silver won’t save you this time I remember you You always haunt my dreams The wolf of the gray mist Blood will flow here in Pine Deep A ghastly, silent call brings evil to this town It moves behind your eyes Twisting truth and breeding lies A plague, it spreads so fast, there is nowhere to hide A Red Wave rising up And we’re all marked to die Silver won’t save you this time I remember you You always haunt my dreams The wolf of the gray mist Blood will flow here in Pine Deep The world comes crashing down Our shattered innocence These impossible events In the center of this storm At the mouth of Hell Ubel sends his regards As the Crow flies... I remember you You always haunt my dreams The wolf of the gray mist Blood will flow here in Pine Deep I remember you (I remember you) You always haunt my dreams (I remember you) The wolf of the gray mist (I remember you) Blood will flow here in Pine Deep

You, you want a love that’s true You don’t want to die, but I want you to You won’t see me by the light of day Beneath the moon, beneath the trees I pray you come my way Nothing’s gonna save you from the beast inside your veins No nothing can prepare you for the pleasure and the pain Love me tender, love me true I’ve always kept a place for you This twisted house of love waits, for you At the Wayfaring House, That’s where I’ll be Waiting for you as you’re running from me me Misery bound but your heart is the key At the Wayfaring House You, you want a life without end Damn the consequences, there’s eternity to spend You, you don’t want my cross to bear All the glory and not to suffer, Now tell me, is that fair? Nothing’s gonna save you from the dying and the damned No nothing can prepare you for that last and final stand Love me tender, love me true I’ve always kept a place for you This twisted house of love waits, for you At the Wayfaring House, That’s where I’ll be Waiting for you as you’re running from me me Misery bound but your heart is the key At the Wayfaring House Nothing’s gonna save you from the beast inside your veins No nothing can prepare you for the pleasure and the pain Love me tender, love me true I’ve always kept a place for you This twisted house of love waits, for you At the Wayfaring House, That’s where I’ll be Waiting for you as you’re running from me me Misery bound but your heart is the key At the Wayfaring House

Warning 03:33
Lust for life, a stolen breath There are things far worse than death Spoken words no more than lies Unseen hands, all seeing eyes Call their names and bring them down Look for marks that won’t be found Build the case and tie the rope The Hangman’s noose, our only hope. These children, these deceivers Convincing true believes A tangled web of lies Unsatisfied till someone dies The guilty, the accusers The righteous the abusers Demand a sacrifice The way home is bathed in their blood A cold winter’s night, tall tales by fire light A darkness so obscene to satisfy your hopes and dreams Now, put your names in, to mark this coven tonight When all this hate explodes Another victim hangs in the light Name the names and fill the cells Open wide the gates of hell Mark the ones that they despise For their fame, the pure must die Panic sent to cloud their minds Lead them to what they must find Years from now they’ll know the truth Lives destroyed by missing proof These children, these deceivers Convincing true believes A tangled web of lies Unsatisfied till someone dies The guilty, the accusers The righteous the abusers Demand a sacrifice The way home is bathed in their blood A cold winter’s night, tall tales by fire light A darkness so obscene to satisfy your hopes and dreams Now, put your names in, to mark this coven tonight When all this hate explodes Another victim hangs in the light
