Black candles flicker in the dark Scent of sage protects my beating heart Full blood moon over velvet skies Evocation of spirits begins tonight I need a friend, someone to talk to Break out the Ouija, the dead will do Hands on the planchett, the spirit box scanning Give me a sign that something out there's listening I hear the cries of the dead My blood runs cold I hear them calling from beyond the grave I hear them calling from beyond the grave Between the static of the AM waves I'm hearing voices from beyond the grave I hear them calling from beyond the grave I hear them calling from beyond the grave Between the static of the AM waves I'm hearing voices from beyond the grave Black candles fading in the dark Scent of sulfur slows my beating heart Full blood moon over velvet skies I've called upon some frightening delights The ceremony now complete But they wont stop coming for me Spirits wreaking havoc, my home complete chaos What did I do wrong to keep the door from closing? I hear the cries of the dead My blood runs cold I hear them calling from beyond the grave I hear them calling from beyond the grave Between the static of the AM waves I'm hearing voices from beyond the grave I hear them calling from beyond the grave I hear them calling from beyond the grave Between the static of the AM waves I'm hearing voices from beyond the grave My body's a vessel, my home's now their home It's a small price to pay to have the feeling that something cares I hear the cries of the dead My blood runs cold I hear them calling from beyond the grave I hear them calling from beyond the grave Between the static of the AM waves I'm hearing voices from beyond the grave I hear them calling from beyond the grave I hear them calling from beyond the grave Between the static of the AM waves I'm hearing voices from beyond the grave

My pills don't work I think I'm going insane My arms and legs are detached from my brain Lose control, my heart pounds through my chest It's coming for me, it's coming right for me Macabre creatures climbs up to my bed Cold dead hands are reaching for my neck Foul miasma fills my lungs Oh dear friend why do you haunt me? I'm so Terrified of you, I lose my will to speak with when you're here with me Black fog surrounds me, haunting voices calling my name Apparitions reaching out for me Hallucination or reality Trapped in this nightmare, there's no escape for me Macabre creatures climbs up to my bed Cold dead hands are reaching for my neck Foul miasma fills my lungs Oh dear friend why do you haunt me? I'm so Terrified of you, I lose my will to speak with when you're here with me Oh dear friend why do you haunt me? I'm so Terrified of you, I lose my will to speak with when you're here with me

Rapture 02:50
We see the truth burning bodies Outside my window out my window Children's laughter cut short by The struggle of the gods Liberation or damnation Flying towards the sky Am I living, am I dying Falling from the sky Hail and fire stained with blood Plague and famine Abaddon Heavenly beings be not afraid Fallen stars cast from grace Liberation or damnation Flying towards the sky Am I living, am I dying Falling from the sky The seven trumpets are sounding Can't you hear it? Their song of death and chaos can be heard all around the world The morning star and his legion begin their assault The world begins to crumble as the anointed ones battle Battle for supremacy With those lucky enough to be accepted into his kingdom All the while Other unfortunate souls live on in horror Horror that we call life Living on Struggling In this new Hell This new Hell we call home We see the truth burning bodies Outside my window out my window Children's laughter cut short by The struggle of the gods Liberation or damnation Flying towards the sky Am I living, am I dying Falling from the sky Liberation or damnation Flying towards the sky Am I living, am I dying Falling from the sky

Corpse Bride 02:11
Woah, woah Where are you my little corpse bride? Woah, woah Where are you my little corpse bride? Ever since that night we met on the eve of Halloween I thought that you'd be mine forever 'til the end of time Slow dancing in the night under the full blood moon light I fell unto your spell, I'd follow you through all of hell Came the day you had to go away I felt my soul leave my shattered broken heart The rose I left that day will never wilt away I wish that you could stay well now I just gotta say Woah, woah Where are you my little corpse bride? Woah, woah Where are you my little corpse bride? Nine of Swords,Ten of Cups, Eight of Wands, the World and Stars Green candles in the dark, asked Gremory to light a spark No hex or magick spell will ever bring you back to me I'd die a thousand deaths to prove how much you meant to me Came the day you had to go away I felt my soul leave my shattered broken heart The rose I left that day will never wilt away I wish that you could stay well now I just gotta say Woah, woah Where are you my little corpse bride? Woah, woah Where are you my little corpse bride? Woah, woah Where are you my little corpse bride? Woah, woah Where are you my little corpse bride?

Seven months and seven days has since passed Since you were taken across the velvet skyline Nothing I do would let me get to you I'd give it all up just to know that you were safe I think about you all the time You will never leave my mind I think about you all the time You will never leave my mind I met a top hat wearing man and he said He knew where to find you and would show me the way But in exchange it would cost me my life (Cost my life) Eternal damnation in the seventh ring of Hell I'd do anything to see you one more time (One more time) A murder of crows led me through the Silver River And there you were glittering gold I took your hand pale as snow One last embrace you let me know You had to go, I wont let go I wont let go, I wont let go I want you to know please don't go I wont let go, I wont let go I want you to know please don't go I wont let go, I wont let go I want you to know please don't go Please don't go
