You…have never stood this
Close to where you want to be
You…have always waded in the shallows
Between me and the deep blue sea

You’d never want me to appear
You never want this to be over
You never want it to reach out to the edge of time

While you sleep in earthly delight
Someone’s flesh is rotting tonight
Like no other to you
What you’ve done you cannot undo

I have always kept you
Closer than you’ve known
I am riding in the shadows
Behind you on a pale white horse

You’d never want me to appear
You never want this to be over

Someone’s flesh is rotting tonight
Like no other to you
What you’ve done you cannot undo

While you sleep in earthly delight
Still your soul will suffer this plight
Like your father in Hell
What you’ve sold you cannot un-sell

While you sleep in earthly delight
Someone’s flesh is rotting tonight
Like no other to you
What you’ve done you cannot undo

While you sleep in earthly delight
Someone’s flesh is rotting tonight
Like no other to you
What you’ve done you cannot undo

While you sleep in earthly delight
Still your soul will suffer this plight
But like a mother would save
Her own child from digging a grave

Many a sin I have witnessed
And in many indeed I have been
Many a Rat I’ve befriended
And so many a thorn stood between

But of all the demons I’ve known
None could compare to you

Every day that you
Feed me with hate
I grow stronger

Every day that you
Feed me with hate
I grow stronger

Drink me, eat me
Then you’ll See the Light

Drink me, eat me
Then you’ll See the Light

Many a mind I have haunted
And in many a way I have been
Often the one to have flaunted
An image grotesque and obscene

But of all these
Dark roads that I roam
None could compare to you

Every day that you
Feed me with hate
I grow stronger

Every day that you
Feed me with hate
I grow stronger

Drink me, eat me
Then you’ll See the Light

Drink me, eat me
Then you’ll See the Light

Drink me, eat me
Then you’ll See the Light

Drink me, eat me
Then you’ll See the Light

Every day that you…drink me
Feed me with hate…eat me
I grow stronger…then you’ll See the Light

Every day that you…drink me
Feed me with hate…eat me
I grow stronger…then you’ll See the Light

Might As Well Have a Little Fun

You’ll soon be hearing the chime
Close to midnight
If I could turn back the time
I’d make all right

How could it end like this?
There’s a sting in the way you kiss me
Something within your eyes
Said it could be the last time
Before it’s over!

Just wanna be
Wanna bewitch you in the moonlight
Just wanna be
I wanna bewitch you all night

It keeps on giving me chills
But I know now
I feel the closer we get
To the last vow

I don’t wanna end like this…like this, yeah
But the sting in the way you kiss me…I’m loving it
Something within your eyes
Said it could be the last time
Before it’s over!

Just wanna be
Wanna bewitch you in the moonlight
Just wanna be
I wanna bewitch you all night
Just wanna be
I wanna bewitch you one last time with me tonight
Just wanna be
I wanna bewitch you all night

Just wanna be
Wanna bewitch you in the moonlight
Just wanna be
Wanna bewitch you all night
Just wanna be
Wanna bewitch you in the moonlight
Just wanna be
I wanna bewitch you all night…all night!

In times of turmoil
In times like these
Beliefs contagious
Spreading disease
This wretched mischief is now coursing through your souls
Never to let go
Never to let go

Them Rats

Into your sanctum
You let them in
Now, all your loved ones
And all your kin
Will suffer punishments beneath the wrath of God
Never to forgive
Never to forgive

Them Ratsah-oh ahh-ohh
Ratsah-oh ahh-ohh
Ratsah-oh ahh-ohh
Ratsah-oh ahh-ohh

This devastation left your cities to be burnt
Never to return
Never to return

Them filthy rodents are still coming for your souls
Never to let go
Never to let go

Them Ratsah-oh ahh-ohh
Ratsah-oh ahh-ohh
Ratsah-oh ahh-ohh
Ratsah-oh ahh-ohh

They’re still coming after you…ah-oh ahh-ohh
And there’s nothing you can do…ah-oh ahh-ohh
They’re still coming after you…ah-oh ahh-ohh
And there’s nothing you can do…ah-oh ahh-ohh

A higher power underground

From seraph skies and now to chaos bound

He’s sitting sacred and profound

In midst of sinners licking up to kiss his crown

Pathetic humans in despair

Defaced, deflowered, now to death devout

A fallen angel in his glare

In midst of sinners kneeling down before his clout

Old one, master

All beauty lies within

Old one, master

All beauty lies within you

This oasis is a poisoned well

Of rotting carcasses that clog the deep

A prince in exile here in Hell

In midst of sinners flocking up like soulless sheep

Old one, master

All beauty lies within

Old one, master

All beauty lies within you 

Old one, master

All beauty lies within

Old one, master

All beauty lies within you

Old one, master

All beauty lies within

Old one, master

All beauty lies within you

Your infernal Majesty

Living in the night
Beneath devils, torn asunder
You call on me
To solve a crooked rhyme
As I’m closing in
Imposing on your slumber
You call on me
As bells begin to chime

Are you on the Square?
Are you on the level?
Are you ready to swear right here, right now
Before the devil?
That you’re on the Square
That you’re on the level
That you’re ready to stand right here, right now?
Right here, right now

Hiding from the light
Sacrificing nothing
Still, you call on me
For entrance to the shrine
Hammering the nails
Into a sacred coffin
You call on me
For powers clandestine

Are you on the Square?
Are you on the level?
Are you ready to swear right here, right now
Before the devil?
That you’re on the Square
That you’re on the level
That you’re ready to stand right here, right now?
Right here, right now

Are you on the Square?
Are you on the level?
Are you ready to swear right here, right now
Before the devil?
That you’re on the Square
That you’re on the level
That you’re ready to stand right here, right now?
Right here, right now

Right here, right now

Right here, right now

Right here, right now

Right here, right now

Ghost – Square Hammer

Throw yourself

Into the vessel
Of possibilities

Your green muse

The apparatus
For soul mobility

A gateway to secrecy

Spirit, absinthe

Spirit, absinthe

Seven seals

Devilish creatures
Trumpets the end of time

Cloven hooves

Anti-saint Wormwood
Catapulting your mind

Into the jaws of death

Spirit, absinthe

Spirit, absinthe

There’s no return

From this excursion
Of possibilities

You’re at the seventh gate

Spirit, absinthe

Spirit, absinthe

“Let none of this Earth inherit

This vision of my Spirit!

The beginning of Papa’s war against the short I vowel sound

Underneath the moonlight of old Hungarian skies

Buried in the blood-drenched earth

These barren lands of ice

She was an evil woman with an evil old soul

Piercing eyes emotionless

A heart so black and cold

Elizabeth, in the chasm where was my soul

Forever young
Elizabeth Bathory in the castle of your death

You’re still alive, Elizabeth

Her pact with Satan

Her despisal of mankind

Her acts of cruelty and her lust for blood

Makes her one of us

Our ancient countess was refused her desires will

To bathe in pure fresh blood

She had peasant virgins killed

Elizabeth, in the chasm where was my soul

Forever young
Elizabeth Bathory in the castle of your death

You’re still alive, Elizabeth

Elizabeth, in the chasm where was my soul

Forever young
Elizabeth Bathory in the castle of your death

You’re still alive, Elizabeth

A Welcome Surprise from one of my favorite Viking Metal bands

I am chanting a Rune Song
Carved spell on a moon rock
On our proud great vast land
You were gathered at night where we attacked

My chant, goes relentless
Moon’s shining in blood red
Your souls has escaped
Sky stallions are carrying the brave

I see you scattered to the ground, no wounds on your back
You died where you stand, by the cross, by the axe
Defending your folk, sworn faith to the gods
That you shall find again on Ragnarok’s day

Stay put on your sword and fight on, by the gods
My arms holds your blood, on winter’s cruel cold
Listen to the Rune Song and fear not Midgard’s giants’ size
My chanting is magic that calls you all again to…rise!

Oh, remember that time is thinner than ice
The bold and the brave from death shall escape
All Father knows when our battle will end
We all have been summoned on this final glorious day

Now stand next to me
Gather your swords, gather your shields
Get prepared till that day
When All Father shall prevail

Hildr Valkyrie – The Rune Song

Realized I can never win
Sometimes feel like I have failed
Inside, where do I begin?
My mind is laughing at me

Tell me, why am I to blame?
Aren’t we suppose to be the same?
That’s why I will never tame
This thing that’s burning in me

I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn’t last
I feel the life pulled from me
I feel the anger changing me

Sometimes I can never tell
If I’ve got something after me
That’s why I just beg and plead
For this curse to leave me

Tell me, why am I to blame?
Aren’t we suppose to be the same?
That’s why I will never tame
This thing that’s burning in me

I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn’t last
I feel the life pulled from me
I feel the anger changing me

Betrayed
I feel so
Enslaved
I really
Tried

I Did My Time
I Did My Time
I Did My Time
I Did My Time
I Did My Time!

I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn’t last
I feel the life pulled from me
I feel the anger changing me 

Oh God, the anger’s changing me

Oh God, the anger’s changing me
