Giving a swish with your arse in the air, Dont you know what theyre saying? Charlotte youre so refined When you take all the love that theyre giving. Sticking with every man that you find, Dont you know what theyre after? Charlotte youve got your legs in the air, Dont you hear all the laughter? Charlotte the harlot show me your legs, Charlotte the harlot take me to bed. Charlotte the harlot let me see blood, Charlotte the harlot let me see love. Taking so many men to your room, Dont you feel no remorse? You charge them a fiver, Its only for starters. And ten for the main course. And youve got no feelings, They died long ago. Dont you care who you let in? And dont you know youre breaking The law with the service youre giving. There was a time when you left me standing there, Picking up pieces of love off the floor. Well charlotte you left me alone in there, To make your ends as a bloody whore. Well charlotte you told me you love me true, Picking up pieces of love yesterday. Well charlotte youre draws are off color too cause youre making love all day. Giving a swish with your arse in the air, Dont you know what theyre saying? Charlotte youre so refined when You take all the love that theyre giving. Sticking with every man that you find, Dont you know what theyre after? Charlotte youve got your legs in the air, Dont you hear all the laughter?

Hes walking like a small child But watch his eyes burn you away Black holes in his golden stare God knows he wants to go home Children of the damned (repeat another 3 times) Hes walking like a dead man If he had lived he would have crucified us all Now hes standing on the last step He thought oblivion well it beckons us all Children of the damned (repeat another 3 times) Now it burns his hand hes turning to laugh Smiles as the flame sears his flesh Melting his face screaming in pain Peeling the skin from his eyes Watch him die according to plan Hes dust on the ground what did we learn Youre children of the damned Your backs against the wall You turn into the light Youre burning in the night Youre children of the damned Like candles watch them burn Burning in the light Youll burn again tonight Youre children of the damned

As a young boy chasing dragons with your wooden sword so mighty, Youre st. george or youre david and you always killed the beast. Times change very quickly, And you had to grow up early, A house in smoking ruins and the bodies at your feet. Chorus Youll die as you lived In a flash of the blade, In a corner forgotten by no one. You llived for the touch For the feel of the steel One man, and his honour. The smell of resined leather The steely iron mask As you cut and thrust and parried at the fencing masters call. He taught you all he knew To fear no mortal man And now youll wreak your vengeance in the Screams of evil men.

As the sun breaks above the ground An old man stands on the hill As the ground warms to the first rays of light A birdsong shatters the still His eyes are ablaze See the madman in his gaze Fly on your way like an eagle Fly as high as the sun On your wings like an eagle Fly and touch the sun Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears Look the old man in his eyes As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd In the name of God my father I fly His eyes seem so glazed As he flies on the wings of a dream Now he knows his father betrayed Now his wings burn to ashes to ashes his grave Fly on your way like an eagle Fly as high as the sun On your wings like an eagle Fly and touch the sun

Im waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime Reflecting on my past life and it doesnt have much time Cos at 5 oclock they take me to the gallows pole The sands of time for me are running low When the priest comes to read me the last rites I take a look through the bars at the last sights Of a world that has gone very wrong for me Can it be theres some sort of error Hard to stop the surmounting terror Is it really the end not some crazy dream Somebody please tell me that Im dreaming Its not so easy to stop from screaming But words escape me when I try to speak Tears they flow but why am I crying After all I am not afraid of dying Dont believe that there is never an end As the guards march me out to the courtyard Someone calls from a cell God be with you If theres a God then why has he let me die? As I walk all my life drifts before me And though the end is near Im not sorry Catch my soul cos its willing to fly away Mark my words please believe my soul lives on Please dont worry now that I have gone Ive gone beyond to see the truth When you know that your time is close at hand Maybe then youll begin to understand Life down there is just a strange illusion

You walk through the subway, his eyes burn a hole in your back, A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack. Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed, Killer behind you, his blood lust defies all his needs. My innocent victims are slaughtered with wrath and despise, The mocking religion of hatred that burns in the night. I have no one, I'm bound to destroy all this greed, A voice inside me compelling to satisfy me. I can see what a knife's meant to be, And you'll never know how I came to forsee, see, see. My faith in believing is stronger than lifelines and ties, With the glimmer of metal my moment is ready to strike. Death call arises, a scream breaks the still of the night, Another tomorrow, remember to walk in the light! I have found you, and now there is no place to run, Excitement shakes me, oh God help me what have I done?! Oooh yeah, I've done it! YEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHH! You walk through the subway, my eyes burn a hole in your back, A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack. Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed, Killer behind you, my blood lust defies all my needs. Oooh look out, I'm coming for you! Ahahahaha!

Seven deadly sins Seven ways to win Seven holy paths to hell And your trip begins Seven downward slopes Seven bloodied hopes Seven are your burning fires Seven your desires I am the bornless one The fallen angel watching you Babylon the scarlet whore Ill infiltrate your gratitude Dont you dare to save your son Kill him now and save the young ones Be the mother of a birth strangled babe Be the devils own lucifers my name Moonchild - hear the mandrake scream Moonchild - open the seventh seal Moonchild - youll be mine soon child Moonchild - take my hand tonight I count the heads of those unborn The accursed ones Ill find them all If you die by your own hand As a suicide you shall be damned And if you try to save your soul I will torment you - you shall not grow old With every second and passing breath Youll be so alone your soul will bleed to death The twind they are exhausted seven is the night Gemini is rising as the red lips kiss to bite Seven angels seven demons battle for his soul When gabriel lies sleeping this child was born to die One more dies one more lives One baby cries one mother grieves For all the sins you will commit Youll beg forgiveness and none Ill give A web of fear shall be your coat To clothe you in the night A lucky escape for now young man But Ill see you damned in endless night

I remember it as plain as day Although it happened in the dark of the night. I was strolling through the streets of paris And it was cold it was starting to rain. And then I heard a piercing scream And I rushed to the scene of the crime But all I found was the butchered remains Of two girls lay side by side. Murders in the rue morgue Someone call the gendarmes Murders in the rue morgue Run before the killers go free Theres some people coming down the street At last theres someone heard my call I cant understand why theyre pointing at me I never done nothing at all. But I must have got some blood on my hands Because everyones shouting at me I cant speak french so I couldnt explain And like a fool I started running away. Murders in the rue morgue Someone call the gendarmes Murders in the rue morgue Am I ever gonna be free. And now Ive gotta get away from the arms of the law. All france is looking for me. Ive gotta find my way across the border for sure Down the south to italy. Murders in the rue morgue Someone call the gendarmes Murders in the rue morgue Im never going home. Well I made it to the border at last But I cant erase the scene from my mind Anytime somebody stares at me, well I just start running blind Well Im moving through the shadows at night Away from the staring eyes Any day theyll be looking for me cause I know I show the signs of... Murders in the rue morgue Running from the gendarmes Murders in the rue morgue Running from the arms of the law Murders in the rue morgue Running from the gendarmes Murders in the rue morgue Am I ever gonna be free It took so long and Im getting so tired Im running out of places to hide Should I return to the scene of the crime Where the two young victims died If I could go to somebody for help Itd get me out of trouble for sure But I know that its on my mind That my doctor said Ive done it before. Murders in the rue morgue Theyre never gonna find me Murders in the rue morgue Im never going home.

I left alone my mind was blank I needed time to think to get the memories from my mind What did I see can I believe that what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy Just what I saw in my old dreams were they reflections of my warped mind staring back at me Cos in my dreams it's always there the evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair The night was black was no use holding back Cos I just had to see was someone watching me In the mist dark figures move and twist was all this for real or some kind of hell 666 the Number of the Beast Hell and fire was spawned to be released Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised as they start to cry hands held to the sky In the night the fires burning bright the ritual has begun Satan's work is done 666 the Number of the Beast Sacrifice is going on tonight This can't go on I must inform the law Can this still be real or some crazy dream but I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes they seem to mesmerise me...can't avoid their eyes 666 the Number of the Beast 666 the one for you and me I'm coming back I will return And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn I have the fire I have the force I have the power to make my evil take its course

Into the abyss Ill fall-the eye of horus Into the eyes of the night-watching me go Green is the cats eye that glows-in this temple Enter the risen osiris-risen again. Chorus Tell me why I had to be a powerslave I dont wanna die, Im a god, why cant I live on? When the life giver dies, all around is laid to waste. And in my last hour, Im a slave to the power of death. When I was living this lie-fear was my game People would worship and fall-drop to their knees So bring me the blood and red wine for the one to succeed me For he is a man and a god-and he will die too. Chorus Now I am cold but a ghost lives in my veins, Silent the terror that reigned-maarbled in stone Shell of a man God preserved-a thousand ages But open the gates of my hell-i will strike from the grave.

Unchain the colours before my eyes, Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow's white lies. Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher, I shall return from out of fire. Tears for rememberance, and tears for joy, Tears for somebody and this lonely boy. Out in the madness, the all seeing eye, Flickers above us, to light up the sky. Unchain the colours before my eyes, Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow's white lies. Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher, I shall return from out of fire.

Out of the winter came a war horse of steel. Ive never killed a woman before, but I know how it feels. *chorus*: I know youd have gone insane if you saw what I saw. So now Ive got to look for sanctuary from the law. So give me sanctuary from the law and Ill be alright. Just give me sanctuary from the law and love me tonight, tonight. I met up with a slinger last night to keep me alive. He spends all his money on gambling and guns to survive. *chorus* I can laugh at the wind, I can howl at the rain. Down in the canyon or out in the plain.

Out in the street somebodys crying Out in the night the fires burn Maybe tonight somebodys crying Reached the point of no return Oh - my eyes they see but I cant believe Oh - my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave Like the eagle and the dove Fly so high on wings above When all you see can only bring you sadness Like a river we will flow On towards the sea we go When all you do can only bring you sadness Out on the sea of madness Somewhere I hear a voice thats calling Out in the dark there burns a dream You got to hope when you are falling To find the world that you have seen Oh - Oh - Its madness The sun dont shine On the sea of madness There aint no wind to fill your sails Madness when all you see can only bring you sadness On towards the sea we go...

Here they stand brothers them all All the sons divided theyd fall Here await the birth of a son The seventh, the heavenly, the chosen one Here the birth from an unbroken line Born the healer, the seventh, this time Unknowingly blessed and as his life unfolds Slowly unveiling the power he holds Seventh son of a seventh son Seventh son of a seventh son Seventh son of a seventh son Seventh son of a seventh son Then they watch the progress he makes The good and the evil wich path will he take Both of them trying to manipulate The use of his powers before its too late Seventh son of a seventh son Seventh son of a seventh son Seventh son of a seventh son Seventh son of a seventh son Today is born the seventh one Born of woman the seventh son And he in turn of a seventh son He has the power to heal He has the gift of the second sight He is the chosen one So it shall be writtne So it shall be done

If you had the time to lose An open mind and time to choose Would you care to take a look Or can you read me like a book Time is always on my side Time is always on my side Can I tempt you come with me Be devil may care fulfill your dream If I said Id take you there Would you go would you be scared Time is always on my side Time is always on my side Dont be afraid youre safe with me Safe as any soul can be... Honestly... just let yourself go Caught somewhere in time Caught somewhere in time Caught somewhere in time... oh oh Like a wolf in sheeps clothing You try to hide your deepest sins Of all the things that youve done wrong And I know where you belong Time is always on my side Time is always on my side Make an offer you cant refuse Youve only got your soul to lose... Eternally... just let yourself go Caught now in two minds!

Was many years ago that I left home and came this way I was a young man full of hopes and dreams But now it seems that all is lost and nothing gained Sometimes things aint what they seem No brave new world no brave new world Night and day I scan horizon sea and sky My spirit wanders endlessly Until the day will dawn and friends from home discover why Hear me calling rescue me Set me free, set me free Lost in this place and leave no trace Stranger in a strange land Land of ice and snow Trapped inside this prison Lost and far from home One hundred years have gone and men again they come that way To find the answer to the mistery They found his body lying where if fell that day Preserved in time for all to see No brave new world no brave new world Lost in this place to leave no trace What became off men that started All are gone and souls departed Left me here in this prison So all alone

Feel the sweat break on my brow Is it me or is ir the shadows that are dancing on the walls Is this a dream or is it now Is this a vision or normality I see before my eyes I wonder why I wonder how That it seems the powers getting stronger every day I feel a strength an inner fire But Im scared I wont be able to control it anymore Theres a time to live and a time to die When its time to meet the maker Theres a time to live but isnt it strange That as soon as youre born youre dying Just by looking through your eyes He could see the future penetrating Right in through your mind See the truth and see your lies But for all his power couldnt foresee his own demise Theres a time to live and a time to die When its time to meet the maker Theres a time to live but isnt it strange That as soon as youre born youre dying... ... and reborn again? ?

Love is a razor and I walked the line On that silver blade Slept in the dust with his daughter Her eyes red with The slaughter of innocence But I will pray for her I will call her name out loud I would bleed for her I only I could see her now Living on a razors edge Balancing on a ledge Living on a razors edge The evil that men do lives on and on... The evil that men do lives on and on... The evil that men do lives on and on... The evil that men do lives on and on... Circle of fire my baptism of joy and at an end it seems The seventh lamb slain The book of life opens before me But I will pray for you And some day I may return I would die for you Beyond is where I learn

On the run kill to eat You're starving now you're dead on your feet Going all the way nature's beast Do what I want as I please Run fight to breathe it's tough Now you see me now you don't Break the walls I'm coming out Not a prisoner I'm a free man And my blood is my own now Don't care where the past was I know where I'm going ... out If you kill me it's self defence If I kill you then I call it vengeance Spit in your eye I will defy You'll be afraid when I call out your name I'm not a number I'm a free man I'll live my life how I want to You'd better scratch me from your black book Cos I'll run rings round you

Youll take my life but Ill take yours too Youll fire you musket but Ill run you through So when your waiting for the next attack Youd better stand theres no turning back The bugle sounds as the charge begins But on this battlefield no one wins The smell of arcrid smoke and horses breath As you plunge into a certain death The horse he sweats with fear we break to run The mighty roar of the russian guns And as we race towards the human wall The screams of pain as my comrades fall We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground And the russians fire another round We get so near yet so far away We wont live to fight another day We get so close near enough to fight When a russian gets me in his sights He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow A burst of rounds take my horse below And as I lay there gazing at the sky My bodys numb and my throat is dry And as I lay forgotten and alone Without a tear I draw my parting groan

Cold as steel the darkness waits its hour will come. A cry of fear from our children worshipping the sun. Mother natures black revenge on those who waste her life. War babies in the garden of eden, Shall turn our ashes to ice. Sunrise has gone freezing up the fires. Sunrise has gone numbing our desires. Around the world the people stop, With terror stricken eyes. A shadow cast upon them all, To crush them like a fly. In the icy rain and whiplashed seas, Theres nowhere left to run. The hammer blows of winter fall like a hurricane. Around the world the nations wait, For some wise word from their leading light. You know it isnt only madmen who listen to fools. Is this the end, the millions cried, Clutching their riches as they died. Those who survive must weather the storm. Gone are the days when man looked down. Theyve taken away his sacred crown. To be set free, it took so long. Its not journeys end, its just begun.

Kill for gain or shoot to maim But we dont need a reason The golden goose is on the loose And never out of season Some blackened pride still burns inside This shell of bloody treason Heres my gun for a barrel of fun For the love of living death. Chorus The killers breed or the demons seed, The glamour, the fortune, the pain, Go to war again, blood is freedoms stain, But dont you pray for my soul anymore. 2 minutes to midnight The hands that threaten doom. 2 minutes to midnight To kill the unborn in the womb. The blind men shout let the creatures out Well show the unbelievers The napalm screams of human flames Of a prime time belsen feast...yeah! As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy, We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies. Chorus The body bags and little rags of children torn in two And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you. As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song, To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun.

I was born into a scene of angriness and greed of dominance and persecution My mother was a queen my dad i've never seen I was never meant to be Now i spend my time looking all around for a man that's nowhere to be found Until i find him, I'm never gonna stop searching, I'm going to find my man, gonna travel round Cos I'm a wrathchild, well I'm a wrathchild Yeah I'm a wrathchild Coming to get you Some say it shouldn't matter, ain't nothing gonna alter the course of my destination But i know I've gotta find some serious peace of mind or I know I'll just go crazy Now i spend my time looking all around for a man that's nowhere to be found Until i find him, I'm never gonna stop searching, I'm going to find my man, gonna travel round Cos I'm a wrathchild,
