She has come from the shadows of the dream world A dark angel from the darker side of love Across a sea of tears A hundred thousand years Come with her and dance in the moon light And you are lost to this world evermore Put your hand in her hand
Come and fly now with the angels Rise again now like the phoenix Your the love that lives forever In the heart that never dies, never dies Heart of Lilith!
Come and drown in the lake of her passion Come and die so you can be reborn Hear the siren sing Hear the death knell ring She's a witch a siren and a vampyre She has come from the distance stars To take your heart To break your heart
Come and fly now with the angels Rise again now like the phoenix Your the love that lives forever In the heart that never dies, never dies Heart of Lilith!
Come and kiss, kiss the lips of Lilith Come and kiss and you will be no more Feel the fire Of desire
Come and fly now with the angels Rise again now like the phoenix Your the love that lives forever In the heart that never dies, never dies Heart of Lilith!
Come and fly now with the angels Rise again now like the phoenix Your the love that lives forever In the heart that never dies, never dies Heart of Lilith!
2. Woman To Hare
Woman to cat to hare and back Woman to cat to hare I shall go with care A woman with power may fool a man As a hare I shall go from his sight To most anywhere Racing with the wind behind me Chasing 'cross the fields of green Running with the speed a hare can Never shall this hare be seen A woman, not a hare, shall snare a man But the hare and the cat shall know Where'er he's at His secrets and his solitude shall not be his For a man with a plan and a mind I wish not to find I have watched many men in their beds as they lie As a cat I have sat and I know What I should not know They may think they are strong and are brave and they rule this world But with quiet and with magick and with hare They do not compare
3. Hail The Holly King
All across the virgin snow And through the naked trees On a cold winter's night His song is on the breeze Where the moonlight paints the frost Upon the robin's song He's come a-calling for us all Now the summer's gone!
Hark! Hear the children sing Glory to the Holly King Let the jingle bells all ring Hail, hail the Holly King
In the whisky and in the wine He is here this Yule-tide time A-dancing in the home-fire flames A-dancing, singing, playing games When the prayers are to the East He is with us at the feast His crown is nailed to the door He's with us forevermore!
Underneath the mistletoe He is in all lover's hearts He fans the flames of desire 'Tis he who fires Cupid's darts He is in all children's dreams Dressed in red or dressed in green Riding on the astral sleigh He's the spririt of the day!
4. Wake Of The Christian Knights
From old Rome they come a-riding On a song with armour shining Christian sons with hearts of anger Bring the book, the cross, the chancre Hallelujah, hallelujah, kiss the cross or they will burn you Hallelujah, hallelujah, they have come to rape and murder
Tell them we've had it all They've had their day now they shall fall Tell them of the turning tide They can run but they can't hide
Across a sea of tears and blood Across a scape of murdered babies They will cleanse and purify For their Christ and for their Lady They will take the joy of love and name it as a badge of shame They will steal and they will plunder They will tell you you're to blame
On the wheel and on the gibbet Broken bodies, broken dreams In the churches, the sheep, the traitors Now they are both pure and clean Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah
5. Paint It Black
[Rolling Stones Cover]
I see a red door, and I want it painted black, No colors anymore, I want them to turn black, I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes, I have to turn my head until my darkness goes.
I see a line of cars, and they're all painted black, With flowers and my love, both never to turn back, I see people turn their heads and quickly look away, Like a newborn baby it just happens every day.
I look inside myself and see my heart is black, I see my red door and must have it painted black, Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts, It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black.
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue, I could not foresee this thing happening to you.
I want it black, as black as night, As black as coal, as black as death, I wanna see the sun blotted out in the sky.
I want it painted painted painted, painted black, yeah.
I want it black, black as coal, As black as ice, as black as death, I wanna see the sun, blotted out in the sky...
I want it painted...
6. All Along The Crooked Way
Underneath the darkened sky All along the crooked way The same story once again Of sorrow and of pain One fool in a dream One black-hearted queen A tale of unrequited love That's written in tears, written in blood She smiles, he cries He begs, but she denies As tonight becomes tomorrow All joy will turn to sorrow
This is a tale of a succubus A tale of love, pain and lust And death, and death!
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Where there's love, there is lust Where there's a boy to give his heart There's a woman to tear it apart Where there's giving, there's taking There's faking, and there's breaking Where there's trust deceit's right there The dream becomes the nightmare!
To despair she'll take him A shadow she'll make him Before hi, the open grave On his wrist, the razor blade Young man, hang your head and cry It's time to suffer, time to die Abandon you the dreams of youth Abandon love, hope and truth!
She will crush you, she'll excite you She'll destroy you, she'll ignite you She'll take you to a world of darkness And eath, and death!
On a night of dread and wonder Hear her heartbeat turn to thunder Now's the time for soul surrender And death, and death!
7. The Witch Of Berkeley
A woman liked by all who ever knew her A hedonist who lived life for the day She fed her soul on feasting and with riches And feared the day that she would have to pay
Her raven came, one evening to her table And warned her soon she'd pay out for her sins She cried alound, 'My merry days are over' 'For now's the time my troubles shall begin'
You can't cheat your day of reckoning For fate chatches up with you For this is your day of reckoning now
The days that came were filled with many sorrows And soon our witch was taken to her bed Her children came, a monk and nun to see her And as she died, they reeled at what she'd said
Within her tomb, her body wrapped in deer hide And triple chains to guard her mortal soul Then demons came and smashed two chains asunder The third of iron, Old Nick destroyed alone
8. Danse Vampyr
Oh, night of beauty, love and cruelty Twisting, writhing bodies guiding Love of splendour, kisses tender Palest skin to touch surrender
Wild desire rising higher Fragile limbs denied their power Holding, touching, kissing, crushing A dance before the dawn comes rushing Fingers reaching, glances fleeting Purest souls are slowly weakening Screaming, crying, living, dying Yearning breast descending, sighing
9. Vampyre Erotica
Your heart burns for love My soul burns for blood I'll take you, I'll break you I'll crush you, I'll break you If you want me, I'll need you I'll kill you, feed from you I'll take you down that road That leads to destruction Come and take a walk with me Where the angels fear to tread Kiss the flame, feel the pain In the furnace of our love I can't feed my hunger Your youth makes me younger I'll hurt you, desert you Turn your dreams to nightmares I'll cheat you, I'll eat you I'll maim you, I'll drain you Come to me, come to me To the dark side where love sleeps I'll hurt you, you'll love me I'll scratch you, I'll cut you You'll kiss me, then miss me I'll laugh at your torment I'll have you, and own you Be hard and cold to you I'll be your dark angel I'll be your worst nightmare
10. Wild Hunt
Herne, Herne, Herne, Herne! Come with bright eyes a-flashing Come with your dark hounds crashing Come rend the sky asunder Come with the rain and thunder Break all that lies before you Take all that dies around you Ride with the Hounds of Hell Fly with the Hounds of Hell Take me to the Wild Hunt Break me with the Wild Chase Take me with the Wild Hunt Take me riding wildly with the Wild Hunt now In darkest green you move now With oak and ash and thorn now The cloak that's swathed around you Denies I've finally found you I've sought your untamed beauty Within the hearts of men I've found both love and cruelty In equal parts within Come with those bright eyes flashing And with your hounds a-crashing I feel I've always known you Tho' none would ever own you Proud Herne to ride beside you And leave the dying day But who knows who is hunted And who shall be the prey?
11. Sweet Morpheus
Falling downward, your face I see Falling downward, you can see me In this madness I reach out for your hand Two souls in union, spiralling to the ground Child of Morpheus Take me to your sweet euphoria Child of Morpheus Hold me in my dreams Tranquil angel Falling with no fear of landing Child of Morpheus Close my eyes for me I've touched your beauty, tasted your poison brew You've held me closer than any man could do Now come, sweet Morpheus, there's lands we've yet to see Unfold your comforting arms, and we'll fall endlessly How I love you, Morpheus, my soul has ached for you You gave me comfort while life was so cruel Your time is precious, I'll waste not what you share Let's fall again now, as far as we would dare
12. Hell-Fire
So much we'd learn in this age of denial Wild Rabelaisians to teach us their pleasures Do what you will we could all learn to live by Though guilt and torment are our only treasures
Hell-Fire and brimstone and blasphemy be mine Liberty reign with Sir Francis for all time Do what you will and evour all that's divine Hell-Fire and brimstone and blasphemy be mine
Strange tales are told of their nights filled with pleasure Of wild excesses and boundless debauchery I'd take irreverence and sweet Breast of Venus If faith and wafers was all I was offered
Deny yourself and deny you are living Deprive yourself and you'll die knowing nothing Though some would say we are mad in His likeness We're flesh and blood and there's so much to drink of
