Lyrics


Halloween

Oh It's Halloween
Every Night To Me Is Halloween
Like An Ancient Scene
You Know Just What I Mean

Halloween You Are My Pride
Halloween Not Just A Dream

The Moon Is Full, Another Perfect Day Has Began
Like A Demon's Eye, That Devil's Eye
Will We Ever Die

Halloween You Are My Pride
Halloween Not Just A Dream

Every Night Will Be Another Evil Scene
Like In Horror Dreams I Want
I Command You To Scream

Halloween You Are My Pride
Halloween Not Just A Dream

Halloween... Halloween...

"Them"

Acoustic guitar: Andy la Rocque

No Presents For Christmas

Christmas time is here again
Santa needs a helping hand
We cannot his evil sheet
To draw his laying for the night
So all the waiting christmas trees
Gonna hear their master sing....

There's no presents, Not this Christmas
There's no presents
Tom and Jerry, Drinking Sherry
They don't give a damn

Christmas time is here again
Santa needs a helping hand
It's getting very, very late
St-Peter's crossed the Golden Gate
An Donald Duck is still in bed
I wonder who he's gonna help

There's no presents, Not this christmas
There's no presents
Tom and Jerry, All done Sherry
They don't give a damn

There's no presents, Not this Christmas
There's no presents
Tom and Jerry, Still Drinking Sherry
They don't give a damn

I'm dreaming of a white.... Sabbath....

Shrine

The night is rising my eyes
Even in the dark
I know I'm alive

I am burning for you,
Yeah you know its true.

Voices are calling in the night
Breaking the changing sleep of night
I see your face I can't deny it
Darkness you are a holy shrine

The night, awake us tonight
This is where we all meet
The ones left behind

I am burning for you,
Yeah you know it's true.

Voices are calling in the night
Breaking the changing sleep of night
I see your face I can't deny it
Darkness you are a holy shrine

Voices are calling in the night
Breaking the changing sleep of night
I see your face I can't deny it
Darkness you are a holy shrine

The night awake us tonight
This is where we all meet
The ones left behind

I am burning for you,
Yeah you know it's true.

Voices are calling in the night
Breaking the changing sleep of night
I see your face I can't deny it
Darkness you are a holy shrine

I am burning for you... I am burning for you...

The Lake

It is Sunday morning, well right before dawn
A little girl is dancing, on the mansion "porch"
She calls out a name, "God give him the sea"
I'm here from the darkest deep
And hear my name...

Down by the lake, there's the shadow of grief
Dancing hand in hand with the Devil

Watching from the bridge, the one near by the lake
Why sister Margaret? No need the hate
Yes, we all know, "light your seventh cross"
Oh please do it my dear
While you're lost

Down by the lake, there's the shadow of grief
Dancing hand in hand with the Devil

-Solo-

And the nun has been seen
I want your cross
Now come and play
Sister Margaret

Follow "pry", the nun won't give in
She catched us along
Scared as Hell, the little girl is screaming
When sister Margaret disapears in the lake

Down by the lake, there's the shadow of happiness
Dancing hand in hand with the Devil

Phone Call

Grandma: Hello.... Hello King!
King: Who's this?
Grandma: It's your grandmother...
King: You're dead!!
Grandma: In a way yes, now listen... Are you still there?
King: I'm still here grandma...
Grandma: Come to the old house tonight, there's quite a few people here who'd love to see you.
King: Stop it! Bitch! It's starting all over again...
