Avenging angels, sons of God, religious maniacs Believe the lies that they speak or the flames will take your soul Hypnotized living dead under a cloak of fear His hand will strike down those who turn to the night In the name of God - deception of the blind In the name of God - the bane of mankind In the name of God - endless war and pain In the name of God - the curse shall remain Evil seeds manifest in minds that think free Cast out those who will not follow, keep the beast at bay Countless lives have been destroyed, persecution, holy war Just fuel for the fire that burns for evermore In the name of God - deception of the blind In the name of God - the bane of mankind In the name of God - endless war and pain In the name of God - the curse shall remain Hide behind the holy mask, their own lusts satisfied Gorging on the riches taken by deceit But they can't escape the wings of death that take them to their Lord An angry god casts them down into flames eternal In the name of God - deception of the blind In the name of God - the bane of mankind In the name of God - endless war and pain In the name of God - the curse shall remain

They thought he was the Antichrist For it was the time of his coming Evil was inside the boy You could see the devil in his eyes They would drive the devil out They would follow the teachings of the Lord They would deliver his soul from Hell They would deliver his soul from Hell Withhold not correction from the child For if thou beatest him with a rod he shall not die We shall deliver his soul from Hell We shall deliver his soul from Hell They took him to a darkened room To beat the devil out of him This violence was the only way They said, to make him well again But the boy could take no more The spasms racked his body And he did lay in death so still They said it was a demonic attack Withhold not correction from the child For if thou beatest him with a rod he shall not die We shall deliver his soul from Hell We shall deliver his soul from Hell And so they laid him on the bed They left the room and locked the door They thought that life would soon return The good Lord would not let him die Time passed and the flesh did rot One by one they were led away But still inside their twisted minds They could not accept the truth Withhold not correction from the child For if thou beatest him with a rod he shall not die We shall deliver his soul from Hell We shall deliver his soul from Hell

The priest looks so malicious The eastern sky the rising sun The claws outstretched to meet the morning Many will die before the day is done They are many They are evil They will destroy They will drag your soul down into Hell People tell me I'll be alright Soon I will be well But I'm at the edge of damnation I'm looking into the mouth of Hell Again I'm falling, now I'm back here All around me I can see The bodies writhing, screaming, crying People dying in agony The demon army desecrating Everything they see Black rats scuttle through the debris of the slaughter Feasting on the flesh of humanity People tell me I'll be alright Soon I will be well But I'm at the edge of damnation I'm looking into the mouth of Hell Death's black shadows drawing nearer They are upon me now I have tried so hard to get back home But I can't remember how Now I'm taken So fast downwards Please someone help me They're dragging my soul down into Hell People told me I'd be alright But I knew time would tell Now I'm at the edge of damnation I'm looking into the very pits of Hell

“By the virtue of the power vested in me In the power which is above every name In the name of the father And of the son And of the holy ghost I exorcise this influence...” Bow down to Satan He is the master, he sensed your fear Cry out for help but… Cry out for help but there's no one to hear Exorcist from the child you tried to expel me Now scream out in terror, scream out in pain Exorcist now that I possess you To take your own life is the only way Exorcist, even God can't help you now, exorcist Can you hear my laughter? There's blood on your hands, now look at what you've done Your wife and your daughter You've killed and dismembered, now start to run Exorcist from the child you tried to expel me Now scream out in terror, scream out in pain Exorcist now that I possess you To take your own life is the only way Exorcist, even God can't help you now, exorcist Thrust the blade deeper Hear voices approaching as you're twisting the knife Hear what they're saying It's the act of a madman who’s taken his own life Exorcist from the child you tried to expel me Now scream out in terror, scream out in pain Exorcist now that I possess you To take your own life is the only way Exorcist, even God can't help you now, exorcist

Reality will fade away Like your memories, like the past Numbly kill your precious time Hours that should go so fast Fearful of the morning For pain is all that's there A demon is within you Created by despair The violence pounds like thunder In the turmoil of your mind Drifting into nothingness Leaving your life behind You're leaving your life behind Clawing for the surface Every breath feels like your last The creature's staring at you All evil now unmasked The system lies before you You know now it's rotten to the core Pray for your deliverance It cannot be this way evermore The violence pounds like thunder In the turmoil of your mind Drifting into nothingness You're leaving your life behind You're leaving your life behind Can't stop the destruction Cannot hold the anger in Escape into a nightmare As you see the end begin The horror eats into you The terror makes your senses reel It can barely be believed The coldness that you feel The violence pounds like thunder In the turmoil of your mind Drifting into nothingness You're leaving your life behind You're leaving your life behind

Drowning in the sea of life as you fight against the tide Spinning in a whirlpool, a lifetime flashes by Take the road of despair, the path of destruction Followed by the jackals that tear at your flesh Hear the voice command Its hunger must be fed Line up to die Join the dance of the dead Gaze into the mirror, see the empty eyes Feel the world closing in, the void comes ever nearer Feel the knife at your throat, its edge cuts in deep Screaming for the pain to stop, while you live it never will Hear the voice command Its hunger must be fed Line up to die Join the dance Join the dance of the dead Join the dance of the dead The noose is pulling tighter, life hangs by a thread And now you can only give way as you're choked into submission Now your will is broken, join the living dead Parasites start to feed on the life that seeps away Hear the voice command Its hunger must be fed The tune of sorrow playing Begin the dance of the dead Begin the dance of the dead Begin the dance of the dead Begin the dance of the dead

Raising up the foul carcass of war, Try herding the lambs to the slaughter once more The nearer you get, the harder to turn If you follow blindly, then you will burn Greed is the master, an evil desire Crushing the helpless, building the fire Corroding the mind, corroding the will Creating aggression, desire to kill Smelling the hate in the city at night Fueling the anger, who has the right? Punish defiance, there's no trial, there's no jury But soon to taste death in the face of such fury So talk of tomorrow, their turn to suffer will come Retribution, a cult for the scum But when the axe is brought down on the neck of the beast Who knows of the evil that will be released?
We're sick of the scum that lurk in the streets If you commit crimes pray we never meet The night has fallen, once again we ride To seek and destroy, from us you can't hide Vigilante riders, hear our roaring bikes Mercy is not given, the sword of justice strikes The judges are weak, justice must be done We are the new law, we forgive no one Rapists and killers are crushed with our might An eye for an eye, we know what is right Vigilante riders, hear our roaring bikes Mercy is not given, the sword of justice strikes We search the back streets, there the vultures dwell They shall be the victims, we will give them Hell We have lost loved ones, inside us burns hate It's pointless running, you must face your fate Vigilante riders, hear our roaring bikes Mercy is not given, the sword of justice strikes

This night will realize your worst fears, bring to life your darkest dreams Unholy power rising up to meet your silent screams If you let the ritual take its course, light the candles, whisper the names Soon you'll realize just what it means to take part in such a deadly game Don't play with the forces of darkness It's something you can't understand Invoke the power beyond and you'll be in its command Can't you see that you've been cast, in a fool's role Don't play with the forces of darkness Or you'll pay with your very soul As the sacred words are spoken, the sacrifice of life is made And blood falls down upon the altar, underneath the gleaming blade And you who know so very little will not realize before it's too late Now very close you are to eternal damnation, how you are sealing your own fate Don't play with the forces of darkness It's something you can't understand Invoke the power beyond and you'll be in its command Can't you see that you've been cast, in a fool's role Don't play with the forces of darkness Or you'll pay with your very soul Don't you know, you fool, you'll lose your soul to Satan You fool, you know, you're gonna go to Hell You fool, you know, you'll lose your soul to Satan You fool, you know, you're gonna go to Hell Don't you know, you fool, you'll lose your soul to Satan You fool, you know, you're gonna go to Hell You fool, you know, you'll lose your soul to Satan You fool, you know, you're gonna go to Hell Pure evil appears before you, roaring, terrifying to behold Can't help but run from the place that's safe, to get away you forget all you've been told And so you find you're at his mercy, summoned from the darkest depths of Hell Now to return but he'll take you with him, there'll be no one left this tale to tell Don't play with the forces of darkness It's something you can't understand Invoke the power beyond and you'll be in its command Can't you see that you've been cast, in a fool's role Don't play with the forces of darkness Or you'll pay with your very soul
