Graveyard Classics IV: The Number of the Priest

Howling winds keep screaming round And the rain comes pouring down Doors are locked and bolted now As the thing crawls into town Straight out of hell One of a kind Stalking his victim Don't look behind you Nightcrawler Beware the beast in black Nightcrawler You know he's coming back Night Crawler Sanctuary is being sought Whispered prayers a last resort Homing in its' cry distorts Terror struck they know they're caught Straight out of hell One of a kind Stalking his victim Don't look behind you Nightcrawler Beware the beast in black Nightcrawler You know he's coming back Night Crawler As night is falling The end is drawing near They'll hear Their last rites echo on the wind Huddled in the cellar Fear caught in their eyes Daring not to move or breathe As the creature cries Fingernails start scratching On the outside wall Clawing at the windows "Come to me" it calls Atmosphere's electric As it now descend the stairs Hiding in the darkness Is so futile from its glare Death comes in an instant As they hoped it would Souls ascend to heaven While it feasts on flesh and blood

Mercenary batalions Are poised to strike us down Terminations conquest Upon us now full grown Save me, my heart's open wide Help me, no question of pride Save me, my people have died Total genocide Devastation hungers She waits to leap to earth Imminent liquidation Before the grand rebirth Save me, my heart's open wide Help me, no question of pride Save me, my people have died Total genocide Sin after sin I have endured Yet the wounds I bear are the wounds of love Frantic mindless zombies Grab at fleeting time Lost in cold perplexion Waiting for the sign Generations tremble Clinging face to face Helpless situation To end the perfect race Flashing senseless sabers Cut us to the ground Eager for the life blood Of all who can be found Save me, my heart's open wide Help me, no question of pride Save me, my people have died Total genocide Slice to the left, slice to the right None to retaliate, none will fight Chopping at the hearts, snuffing out the lives This race departs, no one will survive Heads to the feet, feet to the air Souls in the soil, heavy in despair End of all ends, body into dust To greet death friends, extinction is a must

I came across a smoking field, pulsating afterglow I saw a seering flash of light erupt and skyward go I staggered back in dazed surprise What was it I had seen? And as I stood there mesmerized I heard my spirit scream Invader invader nearby Invader, invader is nigh This is the first of more to come in carefully planned attacks If it is so we must prepare defenses to fight back The call is out throughout the world United we must stand To build a line, strategic force, they will not take a man Invader invader nearby Invader, invader is nigh When they come to take control every man must play his role They won't take our world away when the children we leave Will have to believe in today We warn you now you things out there Whatever you may send We won't give in without a fight, a fight until the end With vigilance by day and night our scanners trace the sky A shield is sealed upon this earth, a shield you won't get by Invader invader nearby Invader, invader is nigh

Where do we go from here There must be something near Changing you, changing me forever Places change, faces change Life is so very strange Changing time, changing rhyme together There's nowhere else to go... This could be or last show Changing dreams changing schemes... NEVER We're never satisfied Love is gone along with fun Now we're reaching for the gun Changing cast, changing fast No more tether We are never satisfied

I remember it as plain as day Although it happened in the dark of the night. I was strolling through the streets of Paris And it was cold it was starting to rain. And then I heard a piercing scream And I rushed to the scene of the crime But all I found was the butchered remains Of two girls lay side by side. Murders in the Rue Morgue Someone call the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue Run before the killers go free There's some people coming down the street At last there's someone heard my call I can't understand why they're pointing at me I never done nothing at all. But I must have got some blood on my hands Because everyone's shouting at me I can't speak French so I couldn't explain And like a fool I started running away. Murders in the Rue Morgue Someone call the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue Am I ever gonna be free. And now I've gotta get away from the arms of the law. All France is looking for me. I've gotta find my way across the border for sure Down the south to Italy. Murders in the Rue Morgue Someone call the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue I'm never going home. Well I made it to the border at last But I can't erase the scene from my mind Anytime somebody stares at me, well I just start running blind Well I'm moving through the shadows at night Away from the staring eyes Any day they'll be looking for me 'Cause I know I show the signs of... Murders in the Rue Morgue Running from the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue Running from the arms of the law Murders in the Rue Morgue Running from the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue Am I ever gonna be free It took so long and I'm getting so tired I'm running out of places to hide Should I return to the scene of the crime Where the two young victims died If I could go to somebody for help It'd get me out of trouble for sure But I know that it's on my mind That my doctor said I've done it before. Murders in the Rue Morgue They're never gonna find me Murders in the Rue Morgue I'm never going home

Walking through the city, looking oh so pretty, I've just got to find my way. See the ladies flashing. All their legs and lashes. I've just got to find my way. Well you see me crawling through the bushes with it open wide. What you seeing girl? Can't you believe that feeling, can't you believe it, Can't you believe your eyes? It's the real thing girl. Got me feeling myself and reeling around, Got me talking but feel like walking around. Got me feeling myself and reeling a... Got me talking but nothing's with me... Got me feeling myself and reeling around

As a young boy chasing Dragons with your wooden sword so mighty, You're St. George or you're David and you always killed the beast Times change very quickly And you had to grow up early A house in smoking ruins and the bodies at your feet You'll die as you lived In a flash of the blade In a corner forgotten by no-one You lived for the touch For the feel of the steel One man, and his Honour. The smell of resined leather The steely iron mask As you cut and thrust and parried at the fencing master's call He taught you all he ever knew To fear no mortal man And now you'll wreak your vengeance in the Screams of evil man. You'll die as you lived In a flash of the blade In a corner forgotten by no-one You lived for the touch For the feel of the steel One man, and his Honour. You'll die as you lived In a flash of the blade In a corner forgotten by no-one You lived for the touch For the feel of the steel One man, and his Honour.

Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade Slept in the dust with his daughter, her eyes red with The slaughter of innocence And I will pray for her. I will call her name out loud. I would bleed for her. If I could only see her now. Living on a razor's edge. Balancing on a ledge. Living on a razor's edge on... Balancing on a ledge on... Balancing on a ledge on... Living on a razor's edge. Balancing on a ledge you know ... you know !! The evil that men do lives on and on !....[x4] Circle of fire my baptism of joy at an end it seems The seventh lamb slain, the book of life opens before me. And I will pray for you. ...Some day I may return. Don't you cry for me Beyond is where I learn. Living on a razor's edge. Balancing on a ledge. Living on a razor's edge you know... you know !! The evil that men do lives on and on! [x4] Living on a razor's edge. Balancing on a ledge. Living on a razor's edge you know ... you know !! The evil that men do lives on and on! [x4] The evil ! The evil ! The evil that men do... The evil ! The evil ! The evil that men do... Yeah yeah!!

Was many years ago that I left home and came this way I was a young man, full of hope and dreams But now it seems to me that all is lost and nothing gained Sometimes things ain't what they seem No brave new world, no brave new world No brave new world, no brave new world Night and day I scan horizon, sea and sky My spirit wanders endlessly Until the day will dawn and friends from home discover why Hear me calling, rescue me Set me free, set me free Lost in this place, and leave no trace [Chorus:] Stranger in a strange land Land of ice and snow Trapped inside this prison Lost and far from home One hundred years have gone and men again they came that way To find the answer to the mystery They found his body lying where it fell all that day Preserved in time for all to see No brave new world, no brave new world Lost in this place, and leave no trace What became of the man that started All are gone and their souls departed Left me here in this place So all alone [Chorus:] What became of the man that started All are gone and their souls departed Left me here in this place So all alone [Chorus:]

Cold as steel the darkness waits its hour will come. A cry of fear from our children worshipping the sun. Mother natures' black revenge on those who wasted her life. War babies in the garden of Eden, Shall turn our ashes to ice. Sunrise has gone, freezing up the fires. Sunrise has gone, numbing our desires. Around the world the people stop, With terror stricken eyes. A shadow cast upon them all, To crush them like a fly. In the icy rain and whiplashed seas, There's nowhere left to run. The hammer blows of winter fall like a hurricane. Sunrise has gone, freezing up the fires. Sunrise has gone, numbing our desires. Around the world the nations wait, For some wise word from their leading light. You know it's not only madmen who listen to fools. Is this the end, the millions cried, Clutching their riches as they died. Those who survive must weather the storm. Gone are the days when man looked down. They've taken away his sacred crown. To be set free, it took so long. It's not journey's end, it's just begun.
