Album Lyrics
1. The Reaper
I’m the almighty, the king of the kills
Armageddon’s father
I’m lurking in darkness, ready to take
Your body and your soul
The Reaper, the Reaper
I’m coming to get you
The Reaper, the Reaper
Prepare to die!
Don’t try to escape, I’m hunting you down
Holding you tight in my grip
Kissing the steel, the flash of my blade
Gleaming in your stare
The Reaper, the Reaper
I’m coming to get you
The Reaper, the Reaper
I’m the almighty, the king of the kills
Armageddon’s father
Kissing the steel, the flash of my blade
Gleaming in your stare
The Reaper, the Reaper
I’m coming to get you
The Reaper, the Reaper
The Reaper, the Reaper
I’m coming to get you
The Reaper, the Reaper
2. Witchery
The moon is full tonight
We gather round the flame
The candles burn so bright
We start to chant thy name
Satana
The circle starts to glow
Hear the spirits scream
A demon from below
Black – with eyes that gleam
Witchery – in the misty candle light
An incantation of the dark
Witching hour!
A vibration fills the air
We fall into a trance
We sense someone’s here
Who have we conjured this time
Satana
Witchery – in the misty candle light
An incantation of the dark
Witching hour!
Witchery
3. Midnight at the Graveyard
We’ve been diggin’ this grave for hours n’ hours
Hiding ourselves from the light
Open this casket to feed the beast
A sacrifice done in the night
Howling wolves at a brightful moon
A shadow flies across the sky
Whispering voices chant an eerie tune
“Hurry up and dig” you fool
A resurrection in the dead of night
The secret earthing of the dead is right
Midnight at the graveyard
Our footsteps hammer on the coffin lid
Gently we both clear up the dirt
A foul scent of death, the stench of rotten flesh
Was that a moan from beneath that I heard?
A resurrection in the dead of night
The secret earthing of the dead is right
Midnight at the graveyard
Rise from the grave!
The rain beats down but now the time has come
We place the corpse down on the ground
Preparing the rite, but I feel something is wrong
Now the body has opened its eyes
A resurrection in the dead of night
The secret earthing of the dead is right
Midnight at the graveyard
Midnight at the graveyard
4. The Hangman
Let me take you to the promised land
I will lead you there by the hand
Feel the cold that pours out from my soul
(Where) I will take you – you will need no more
Place your trust and only faith in me
I’ll step in and I will set you free
I’m the hated, I’m the so-called mean
But I don’t judge – you are indifferent to me
Sleep a lifetime – Die an eternity
Deathrider in the sky
Place your trust and only faith in me
I’ll step in and I will set you free
I’m the hated, I’m the so-called mean
But I don’t judge – you are indifferent to me
5. Awaiting the Exorcist
Bring the infant who speaks in tongues
An exorcism shall soon be done
Banish the evil that rules this child
I hope the priest will hurry to come
We’ll provoke the demons of sin
Awaiting the exorcist
Cast out this presence within
We tie her down for the sake of her own
Or she will injure herself to her death
Unaware of what the future will bring
The demon smiles and starts to scream
We’ll provoke the demons of sin
Awaiting the exorcist
Cast out this presence within
We’ll provoke the demons of sin
Awaiting the exorcist
Cast out this presence within
Awaiting the exorcist
We’ll provoke the demons of sin
Awaiting the exorcist
Cast out this presence within
6. All Evil
Hell storms hard
Rampant evil cloud the skies
Creatures sing
As they praise the unborn child
Famine and plague
Race throughout the world on wings of damnation
There’s a fire in the sky
Behold the riders of the night
With fear we whisper their names
War and death – famine and plague
Prophecies
Fulfilled with cold precision
Seas of blood
Predict mankind’s extinction
War and death
Unleash the terror with divine intervention
There’s a fire in the sky
Behold the riders of the night
With fear we whisper their names
War and death – famine and plague
There’s a fire in the sky
Behold the riders of the night
With fear we whisper their names
War and death – famine and plague
7. House of Raining Blood
Down by the cemetery
Lies a house where evil roams free
The rooms are silent, but you better beware
A thousand souls have perished in there
As you turn to stone
And you lose your head
As he takes your soul
The walls turn red – bloodshed
The smell of brimstone and the clanging of chains
(the) Hooks into flesh – to tear and to maim
(a) Blood shower gush – the walls turn red
This ritual doesn’t end just ’cause the body is dead
As you turn to stone
And you lose your head
As he takes your soul
The walls turn red – bloodshed
The house is empty, another night has gone
A deathlike silence – the deed is done
The doors are open – “please step inside”
An hour remains to the rising of the bloodtide
As you turn to stone
And you lose your head
As he takes your soul
The walls turn red – bloodshed
8. Into Purgatory
Chased by the hellhounds, the scavengers of death
This ain’t no nightmare, it’s the afterlife unblessed
The winds of redemption, blow hard on the plains
Hell’s burning landscape, lays vast, in flames
Engulfed in reeking pain, repent
The bottomless pit of hell’s domain
A swarming mass of bodies slain
I feel the flames so near
I welcome the pain that rages here
I have nothing to fear
Steaming red hot pistons, hell’s machine at work
Rusted iron sceptres, impaled the thousands burn
Dark and dead but glowing, the army of the damned
Torment the fallen mortals, from this day to the end
Engulfed in reeking pain, repent
The bottomless pit of hell’s domain
A swarming mass of bodies slain
I feel the flames so near
I welcome the pain that rages here
I have nothing to fear
Chased by the hellhounds, hell’s machine at work
This ain’t no nightmare, impaled the thousands burn
The winds of redemption, the army of the damned
Hell’s burning landscape, from this day to the end
9. Born in the Night
(Instrumental)
10. Restless & Dead
Howling moon and a rapid nightfall
Cold hard death and chanting spell
For the dead to be risen from their deep slumber
The grave shall be open to free who’s under
We’re the restless – and the Dead
Dead people walking thru the sanctuary
A scream comes from one of the graves still buried
The light in the window shows the priest has heard us
All too late for the tombs are now open and empty
We’re the restless – and the Dead
Hunger – for the flesh of the people who are still alive
Open grave – the Dead will rise
Rise!
We’re the restless – and the Dead
