Lyrics

I ain’t superstitious
When a black cat crosses my path
And I ain’t superstitious
As I break the looking glass
Ain’t afraid of no demons
Don’t make me laugh!
I ain’t superstitious
Under the ladder I go
And I ain’t superstitious
It’s all bullshit, don’t you know!
I ain’t afraid of no shadows
I like the dark anyway
And that’s a fact! Ha!

Superstitious, superstitious

And I ain’t superstitious
No such thing as bad luck
And I ain’t superstitious
I couldn’t really give a fuck
Take your stupid superstitions
Find some other paranoidal
Chickenshit, sissy, worm, and tell it to him

Superstitious, superstitious

I ain’t superstitious

And that’s a fact, one more time
Come on, shut your mouth
Listen up, hey it’s my turn

Lyrics

Welcome to out sanguinary sect of worship
Feel at home in our black conventicle
As we anathematise
All of those who oppose us
Don’t summon the devil
Don’t call the priests
If you need the strength
The conjuring. Obey!!!

Behold the flames rise
From the compass’ cardinal points
Burn the sacred oil
And, with the ashes you’ll annoint

Arrange the symbols
Of the wizard, and, magician
Light the candles
Place the parchment paper in position
Between its leaves place
The lash from a black cat’s eye
A straw of a broom
Fold, and, burn, and, centralise

Don’t summon the devil
Don’t call the priests
If you need the strength
The conjuring

I am the devil’s advocate
A salesman, if you will
You know my name. [You know my name]

I met your father years ago
Gave him what he’d please
He called my name, you’ll do the same

I’m claiming what is mine by right
It’s time to close the deal
You’re bought and sold, bought and sold

Come join me in my infernal depths
Mephisto’s hall of fame
I’ve got your soul, I’ve got your soul
The conjuring. Obey!!!

Lyrics

Wake Up Dead
I sneak in my own house
It’s four in the morning
I had too much to drink
Said I was out with the boys
I creep in my bedroom
I slip into bed
I know if I wake her
I’ll wake up dead

Chorus
I wonder, will she find out
About the other, other lover
Diana

Wake up dead, you die
Wake up dead, and buried
Wake up dead, you die
Wake up dead

Lyrics

My life’s on time
But again my sense is late
Feel a might unsteady
But still I have to play
Six to one’s the odds
And, we have the highest stakes
And, once again I gamble with my very life today

Highly polished metal
The oil makes it gleam
Fill the terror chamber
Your mind begins to scream
Your life is like a trigger
Never trouble till you’re squeezed
Now you crack a smile
As you give the gun a tease

Place the piston down
Now give the gun a spin
Soon as the spinning stops
Oh no, the game starts in
A hateful way of vengeance
A bit of playful sin
Load another bullet
Now the second round begins

A couple grains of powder
A couple grams of lead
A touch against the trigger
A touch inside the head
Take another drink, and
Raise the last bets
Think about my last words
They might be what I just said

A click comes from the hammer
That couldn’t drive a nail
Sense the numbing cold blue
Or the red of Hades’ grill
A fraction of a second
Do you lose, or maybe still
Pass it to the left
And collect your mighty kill

Add another bullet
The third round begins
Soon as the spinning stops
Oh no, the game starts in
Please, no I. O. U.’s
No markers for death
Does anybody play? Anybody
Somebody, anybody play

You, you, next victim, you next to die
You, come on, next victim, your turn to die

Lyrics

Down fell the stars, as they
Splashed into the sea
“Mi nomine Baphomet”
Come dance with me
Sacrifice the virgins
Spiritual rites
Their master’s time has come
The moon is full tonight

Drinking, dancing
They worship, and toast
The devil, who’s watching
With demon’s remote
Fire, rising
Racing in your blood
Possessed, naive
His service is done

Bloody blasphemy

Sinister’s the word
As the demon’s take their fill
An orgy’s taking place
Human blood will spill
An act of worship
As they conceive the ghouls
Satan has their souls
They sing pagan tunes
The ceremony
Is sure to be cursed
They ask for his blessings
But, down comes the worst
Their bodies, soulless
A corpse from the grave
Their minds are helpless
And, no-one can save [x 5]
No-one can save them (oh no). [x 2]

Lyrics

The light that fills my lonely cell
Is blocked out by the key
That locks the door to this hell
The place they wanted me
Time’s racing like the wind
Execution’s near
Oh lord, I wait for death
And, yes, I have no fear
I recall that night, my every breath
And, step along the way
Closed my eyes, walking
As danger paved the way
The devil, and the darkness
Let her evil wander free
And, here on Devils Island
The final stop for me

Devil’s Island, Devil’s Island

Oh, there is no escape
The sea is full of sharks
The tide takes you away, and
Smashes you on the rocks
The sun is shining
But feel not today
It’s warmth, it’s dying
And fading away

Devil’s Island, Devil’s Island
Devil’s Island, Devil’s Island

Oh, hear the call
From the grave beyond
Oh, so pernicious
Her soul it creates song
As there is no man, that is
Here upon the earth
Able to terminate our
Noisome will since birth

The priest that reads the sermons
Is walking next to me
To the stake, my last request
To have her burn with me
But, so it did, the heavens opened
Rain began to fall
The final judgment came, and
Was spread before you all
Final judgment

Old, weak, and feeble
But the lesson taught to me
To stay away from evil
She doesn’t care for me
She haunts me in my sleep
Though I tore that page away
And, here on Devils Island
I’ll always have to stay

Devil’s Island, Devil’s Island
Devil’s Island, Devil’s Island
Here I am

Devil’s Island, Devil’s Island
Devil’s Island, Devil’s Island
Devil’s Island, Devil’s Island
Devil’s Island, Devil’s Island

Lyrics

Hey, I don’t feel so good
Something’s not right
Something’s coming over me
What the fuck is this?

Killer, intruder, homicidal man
If you see me coming, run as fast as you can
A blood thirsty demon who’s stalking the street
I hack up my victims like pieces of meat
Blood thirsty demon, sinister fiend
Bludgeonous slaughters, my evil deeds

My hammer’s a cold piece of blood-lethal steel
I grin while you writhe with the pain that I deal
Swinging the hammer, I hack through their heads
Deviant defilers, you’re next to be dead
I unleash my hammer with sadistic intent
Pounding, surrounding, slamming through your head. Yeah!

Their bodies convulse, in agony, and, pain
I mangle their faces, till no features remain
A blade for the butchering, I cut them to shreds
First take out the organs, then cut off the head
The remains of flesh now sop under my feet
One more bloody massacre, the murders’ complete
I seek to dismember, a sadist fiend
And, blood baths are my way of getting clean
I lurk in the alleys, wait for the kill
I have no remorse for the blood that I spill
A merciless butcher who lives underground
I’m out to destroy you and, I will, cut you down
I see you, and, I’m waiting, for Black Friday

Killer, intruder, homicidal man
If you see me coming, run as fast as you can
A blood thirsty demon who’s stalking the street
I hack up my victims like pieces of meat
I lurk in the alleys, wait for the kill
I have no remorse for the blood that I spill
A merciless butcher who lives underground
I’m out to destroy you and, I will, cut you down

It’s Black Friday, paint the devil on the wall
