Track Lyrics
Moonchild Lyrics
[Intro]
Seven deadly sins
Seven ways to win
Seven holy paths to hell
And your trip begins
Seven downward slopes
Seven bloodied hopes
Seven are your burning fires
Seven, your desires...
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
I am he, the bornless one
The fallen angel watching you
Babylon, the scarlet whore
I'll infiltrate your gratitude
Don't you dare to save your son
Kill him now and save the young ones
Be the mother of a birth-strangled babe
Be the devil's own, Lucifer's my name
[Chorus]
Moonchild, hear the mandrake scream
Moonchild, open the seventh seal
[Verse 2]
I count the heads of those unborn
The accursed ones, I'll find them all
And if you die by your own hand
As a suicide, you shall be damned
And if you try to save your soul
I will torment you; you shall not grow old
With every second and passing breath
You'll be so alone; your soul will bleed to death
[Chorus]
Moonchild, hear the mandrake scream
Moonchild, open the seventh seal
Moonchild, you'll be mine soon, child
Moonchild, take my hand tonight
[Bridge]
The twins, they are exhausted
Seven is this night
Gemini is rising
As the red lips kiss to bite
Seven angels, seven demons
Battle for his soul
When Gabriel lies sleeping
This child was born to die
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
One more dies, and one more lives
One baby cries, one mother grieves
For all the sins you will commit
You'll beg forgiveness, and none I'll give
A web of fear shall be your coat
To clothe you in the night
A lucky escape for you, young man
But I'll see you damned in endless night
[Chorus]
Moonchild, hear the mandrake scream
Moonchild, open the seventh seal
Moonchild, you'll be mine soon, child
Moonchild, take my hand tonight
[Outro]
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Yah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
The Evil That Men Do Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Love is a razor, and I walked the line
On that silver blade
Slept in the dust with his daughter
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge, and
Balancing on a ledge, and
Balancing on a ledge, and
Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge, you know, you know
[Chorus]
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
[Verse 2]
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
Someday, I may return
Don't you cry for me
Beyond is where I learn
[Pre-Chorus]
Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge
You know, you know
[Chorus]
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge
You know, you know
[Chorus]
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
[Outro]
The evil, the evil
The evil that men do
The evil, the evil
The evil that men do
Aw! Aw!
