Up in the hills where the sun goes down There's an old black church and a broken town The sun goes down The trees are dead and the river is dry And they blame it all on the old belfry The devils cry Why? Why? Why? Listen to the bell Why? Why? Why? Listen to the bell and it just might tell you why SOLO: Denner It's a dark and lonely road to the old belfry And if you're alone, you'll never survive... No..No..No Deep... in the shadows Everywhere I hear the devils cry Why? Why? Do the devils cry? Why? Why? Why? Do the devils cry? SOLO: Shermann I have seen the gateway that leads beyond So far away from the burning sun I've seen the Maker, I've seen the Taker I've seen whatever you call THEM there The blazing ruby eyes in the old belfry Listen to the bell if you wanna know why You gotta listen to the bell And then you just might hear the sound of HELL Why?...Why?...Why?... You gotta tell me why Why?...Why? Why do the devils cry? Why?...Why? Why do the devils cry?

1640. The Caribbean Sea, the wind was just a breeze Heading for a Western shore, the barque was sailing East Close hauled into the eye The "Unicorn" was riding high on the tide And the rum went down their throats... with a twist of wine Just... after midnight, nobody saw the Antigua shore Just... after midnight, nobody heard the thunder roar Ohh... they were heading straight for the reefs Just... after midnight, they were caught by the storm SOLOS: Shermann - Denner 1640. The Caribbean Sea, the wind was not just a breeze The captain and the crew were fighting for their lives But they didn't stand a chance with their drunken minds Going down... to their watery graves Going down... going down... Fifteen men and a bottle of rum It's the captain and the crew of the "Unicorn" Listen hard on a stormy night And you just might hear them singing that rhyme Oh yeah... a ghost that never dies Fifteen men and a bottle of rum It's the captain stuck in the "Unicorn" Oh yeah... a ghost that never dies It's a warning, storm is coming, yeah, you better look out

SOLO: Shermann There is something out there waiting for me With an evil glow There is something out there that will Never let me go Twisting, turning, I'm looking out for my soul Twisting, turning, I'm looking out for my soul I have seen the Southern witches, in the church of God I have seen the Southern witches, and the Holy Ghost Dancing, blasphemous, waiting for HIM to call Dancing, blasphemous... uniting them all SOLO: Denner And I know this night so well 'Cause I have walked from here to hell The only thing I can never tell Is why they put me under the spell Under the spell... Was it the deadly moon that gave me away On Walpurgis Night Was it the deadly moon that gave me away Or the EVIL eye Twisting, turning, I'm looking out for my soul Twisting, turning, I'm looking out for my soul And then HE came at last... SOLOS: Shermann - Denner Suddenly the Earth was shaking And I... I couldn't feel a thing as I saw HIM... Standing on the altar.. HE was drinking all the wine While the Holy Ghost and the Southern witches... Were turning every single cross around... and upside down I never should have been there I never should have seen it I never should have understood

"Lie down in your dead little baby You know it's getting late Listen to this deadtime story And hold on to your head" And it's way past her deadtime... the night has just died Little blood red Riding Hood was passing through the woods A basket full of poisoned fruit She's absolutely way too cute And it's way past her deadtime... the night has just died Good Old Nick is in her blood and it makes me feel so hot Devil eyes, that's no surprise, she's colder than ice The werewolf is hiding with its yellow glowing eyes Drooling for baby blood, he's jumping in the night And he knows where Red is riding He knows her Grandma well That big bad werewolf's got it down, he cannot fail And it's way past her deadtime... the night has just died SOLO: Denner Grandma's waiting in her dead for sweetest little Red When she ate the werewolf's head, you could not even tell There is no way out There is no way out for sweetest little Riding Hood 'Cause Granny won't be full Until Red is dead and gone... Bye, bye SOLO: Shermann And it's way past her deadtime... the night has just died

I don't want that holy water, it makes me burn I don't want that holy water, I guess I'll never learn I'd rather drink from the Devil's well And then I'll go to hell I'd rather drink from the Devil's well And then I will go straight to hell, oh yeah High on the mountain of Poltersberg there is a quiet lake They say it's full of demons, that Satan keeps them there Wash away your darkest sins, if that's what you believe But keep in mind that if you do, who is it you deceive? Cast a stone into this lake and soon a storm will rise And suck out all the demons, up into the sky Wash away your darkest sins, if that's what you believe But keep in mind that if you do, who is it you deceive? SOLO: Shermann Oh holy water... holy water I don't want that holy water, it makes me burn I don't want that holy water, I guess I'll never learn I'd rather drink from the Devil's well And then I'll go to hell I'd rather drink from the Devil's well And then I will go straight to hell, oh yeah SOLO: Denner Deep in the valley of Blankenstein there is a sacred pool They say that you can drink this water It's cleansing of the soul Wash away your darkest sins, if that's what you believe But keep in mind that if you do, who is it you deceive? I don't want that holy water, no..no..no..no..no It makes me burn inside I don't want that holy water, oh..no.. SOLO: Shermann

Someone better come and save my life Someone better kill those evil eyes Is it in my mind or are they still behind Turning slowly... I see, I see, I see there's no one there Someone better tell me what it's all about In the dying fire, moonlight has struck my eye Feeling colder... I see, I see, I see the amulet of EVIL GODS... EVIL GODS Can you hear the voices in my head... Can you hear the voices in my head Can you hear the voices, what they say? KUTULU... KUTULU... KUTULU... KUTULU... Traveling for years in the mountain side Traveling for years to believe in the sign And I know them well now, all of the Ancient Ones Turning slowly... I see, I see, I see there's no one there Someone must have broken the holy seal 'Cause I know they're there, just like that fateful night Feeling colder... I see, I see, I see the amulet of EVIL GODS... EVIL GODS Can you hear the voices in my head... Can you hear the voices in my head Can you hear the voices, what they say? KUTULU... KUTULU... KUTULU... KUTULU... Hear me as KUTULU raises his EVIL head Drooling for my soul I must finish this book tonight Tomorrow... I might be of the dead I'm burning up... I'm burning up I wish for you... the GODS will be mercyful Drooling for my soul I must finish this book tonight Tomorrow... I might be of the dead I'm burning up... I'm burning up I wish for you... the GODS will be mercyful... SOLO: Shermann
