We'll dance until the moon goes to bed We'll dance with fire in our eyes In complete darkness Through the graveyard Evermore That's where I'll love you Until we meet again, so I say my friend Goodnight Dark angel of my fiery heart For you angel of my bleeding heart It's true, angel of my fiery heart It's you angel of my bleeding heart It's true, you pierce my soul forevermore That's why I love you Until we meet again so I say, my friend Goodnight, dark angel of my... She lifts her eyes from her glass Blood mixed with wine She whispers to me sweetly I will be yours forevermore That's why I love you Until we meet again so I say, my friend Goodnight Dark angel of my fiery heart Angel of my bleeding heart Angel of my fiery heart Angel of my bleeding heart You pierce my soul forevermore That's why I love you Until we meet again so I say, my friend Goodnight, dark angel of my... I love you I would die for you I love you I would kill myself for you We'll dance until the moon turns red We'll dance with fire in our eyes In complete darkness Through the graveyard Evermore That's where I'll love you Until we meet again so I say, my friend Goodnight Dark angel of my fiery heart For you angel of my bleeding heart It's true, angel of my fiery heart It's you angel of my bleeding heart It's true, angel of my fiery heart My beating heart My bleeding heart Forever All for you!
2.	She Dwells 04:09	lyrics	buy track
Along a moonlit path, she sways Fallen leaves dance in the wind As her thoughts deepen and thicken With the shadows of her sins Life ticks away Death leads me on She dwells, crafted in spells Left behind, the pain lifts away Only to be another day Thoughts dance in the shadows Mind dim to the light Alone again but burning bright Feeling dead, a grave delight Life ticks away Death leads me on She dwells, crafted in spells Left behind, the pain lifts away Only to be another day Life ticks away Death leads me on She dwells, crafted in spells Left behind, the pain lifts away Only to be another day Life ticks away Death leads me on She dwells, crafted in spells Left behind, the pain lifts away Only to be another day
3.	Dreamare 04:40	lyrics	buy track
Could I just be dreaming, a fly upon the ceiling Looking down on the crowd This is a different feeling Seeing the lives of people here Drawing far and drawing near There's something wrong It doesn't fit Gathering round like me on shit Then I awaken, what could this mean? All these strange things that I've just seen This dream is just too strange Flying by from day to day All at once things seem to change Eyes filled with clay Behind the wheel of a dying star Looking back, it seems so far Sky falls down and kills the past Dreamares were meant to last Memories fade, see them burn On horizons yet unlearned What is this? A different scene Suddenly it's Halloween Little witches and devils digging graves Ghosts, and goblins, and fiendish slaves A stalkers thoughts of raping and killing Twisted and strange, my bones are chilling Then I awaken, what could this mean? All these strange things that I've just seen A meaning, a purpose, my mind is confused Subconscious desires I've only refused
4.	Dead Rising 06:15	lyrics	buy track
I see the dead in front of me The earth below moves so freely Death it drapes its cloak Oh, all too comforting I see the night in front of me I feel her move, move right over me She drapes her cloak so, all too, all too comforting I see the night in front of me I feel her move, feel her move right over me She drapes her cloak so, too comforting In autumn's breeze now, it's all my, it's all my being I bleed for you my faded queen I thirst for you, will you bleed for me? I sought you out, I'll take you in My need for you, over and over and over again I bleed for you my jaded queen I thirst for you, will you bleed for me? I sought you out, I'll take you in My need for you, over and over and over again Seek the night out Feel her move Fall night, your moon I feel you, I need you Seek the night out Feel her move Fall night your moon I feel you, I feel you Seek the night out Feel her move Fall night your moon I feel you I need you I need you Seek the night out I feel you Fall night your moon I feel you I need you I feel you I need you I feel you I need you
5.	139 08:29	lyrics	buy track
Deep below the basement floor Down this long dark corridor It was then I came upon a door l Like none, none I've ever seen before The door is cold, the knob is hot Don't know, should I open it or not There's a glow, but it's so very dark I think I hear a sound, so I knock This time I feel like I'm losing my sight I'm losing my mind In 139 I hear a voice invite me in Come inside This is where the madness begins This room is so full of sin Where do I begin? Deep below the basement floor Down this long corridor This time I feel like I'm losing my mind I'm losing my mind Here in 139 This time I feel like I'm losing my life I'm losing my mind This time I feel like I'm losing my mind I'm losing my mind This time I feel like we'll never leave this place alive This time I feel like we're all just gonna die Oh, 139
6.	Evil Things 04:30	lyrics	buy track
There's no resenting for my sins What I must do to fill the order I send my pain from deep within Yet in the grave, still, I call her Last night stirred the dark around me On moonlit night, the church bell rings Over the hill, a shadow lurks Beneath the trees an evil thing Hear a sound, a crackling branch A cobblestone, a trip and scratch Not a matter of crime The moon bears not a sign Course your blood through centuries past It's in your veins, genetic design Is death too much to ask for? This life sentence won't do me in All this time there is no laughter Sing to the moon you Evil thing When I cross the threshold Through the gates of Hell It is when I am there I will never meet my maker
7.	Dance of the Dead 05:32	lyrics	buy track
And I feel it calling and it's taking me back in Amongst the caverns Disemboweled memories Sweet harmony Let's dance! Tormented souls unite, feeling higher Your crusted bones, alright, then quite a sight Let's dance the dance, oh dance loudly The dance of the dead! Twisting, creeping, seeking human victims Twisted, crooked, sucking Victims consumed Twisting, creeping, seeking Life from your veins Twisted, crooked, sucking Undead dancing Tormented girls, you're right Dagger deeper Demented boys, you'll fight Meet the reaper Let's dance the dance Oh that dance Irrefutable The dance of the dead Twisting, creeping, seeking human victims Twisted, crooked, sucking Victims consumed Twisting, creeping, seeking Life from your veins Twisted, crooked, sucking Undead dancing Green mist swirling Casket turning Your flesh is crawling Your life is leaving And we're off! Human victims Victims consumed Life from your veins Undead dancing All life is gone, it's just us dead No recourse for all that's bled Casket jig Graveyard rave Celebration Dance of the dead!
8.	The Calling 07:17	lyrics	buy track
Here I sit, shaken from the cold You take my life, try to stimulate my soul Countless thoughts, begin to raise desire My limbs recoil, my hearts on fire Can you feel it, yeah Feel it calling from the inside Can you feel it, yeah Creature praying in the dark Just like I've, just like I've died I've always known that I would end Thought I'd choose my own way to die Taken from me, just one bite Now I'll never, never see the light again Can you feel it, yeah Feel it calling from the inside Can you feel it, yeah Creature praying in the dark Just like I've, just like I've died You say there's more I want to see it Three hundred years before Need to believe it What love is for I'll never realize Until I see the creature Deep inside of me Can you feel it, yeah Feel it calling, calling from the inside Can you feel it, yeah Creature praying in the dark Just like I've died Can you feel it, yeah Feel it calling, calling from the inside Can you feel it yeah, Creature praying in the dark Just like I've, just like I've died
9.	Six Feet to Success 05:09	lyrics	buy track
A creature of no other, a feeling of the low Going to the cemetery, being of the shadows Dig in to die, reprieve a lie Dig in deeper to a life of decomposition I see the dark around me as I fall to my grave The dirt rise up around me, this life you can't save I see the dark around me as I fall to my grave The dirt rise up around me, this life you can't save I've fallen to a hole, this I sought Six feet under this hole I bought We're gonna die, another terrible death Horizontal you will lie, this is your last breath I see the dark around me as I fall to my grave The dirt rise up around me, this life you can't save I see the dark around me as I fall to my grave The dirt rise up around me, this life you can't save This life, you can't save! I've fallen to a hole, oh yeah this I sought Six feet under this hole I bought We're gonna die another terrible death Horizontal you are lying, this is your last breath I see the dark around me as I fall to my grave The dirt rise up around me, this life you can't save I see the dark around me as I fall to my grave The dirt rise up around me, this life you can't save This life, you can't save!
10.	Death March 06:12	lyrics	buy track
Rock you now dead baby to eternal sleep Father's head left hanging, mother only weeps The devil's had his way again, another fallen son Just another victim in a war that's never won Hush now dead baby, don't you ever cry The orders have come down for you It's your turn to die! Used to be so young and proud, but now you're in the ground Nothing left to show for life, except how you slowly drown The reaper is waiting The battle is waging Dead bodies lay at your feet The enemy is charging They keep on coming You know you can never retreat The bombs and the mines The bullets and cries rip through your sanity On the front lines, many will die, little hope for a victory The bloodshed is blinding The body count rising Laying in corpses you wait Prepare for an ambush Reload your shotgun You charge up the hill Your sweat breaks Honor and pride, make you push on Adrenaline and fear, you attack On the front lines, many will die Now it's too late to look back Killing more and more, we were bred for war We don't care what's right, we're just meant to fight
