The Iron Rose

Meeting by the railway, you in yellow I in red,
Riding through the city till we've had enough.
Let's go to the graveyard, it is quiet among the dead,
When the widows are all gone we'll be making love.
What are we gonna do, so close to the other side, if we go astray? What are you gonna do about the cold I feel inside? It never goes away, never goes away.
Between a nameless grave and a grand mausoleum
Running from the crosses but they're everywhere.
Close your eyes, take my hand, trust me! I will take you home,
When the widows are all back we'll be sleeping there.
What are we gonna do, too close to the other side, if we go astray? What are you gonna do about the fear I feel inside? It never goes away, never goes away.
A broken skull, an iron rose, in the first rays of dawn,
Waste no time, follow me down down down!
Don't worry, they all die 'cause their love is not like ours,
We will live forever underground!
What are we gonna do, so close to the other side, if we go astray? What are you gonna do about the cold I feel inside? It never goes away, never !

Satin slippers, fetters of steel,
Whipping each other, how does it feel?
Satin slippers, fetters of steel,
Midnight hour, maidens kneel.
Sex enslavement in the basement, devil's daughters in the convent!
Hidden gardens, magick and tears,
High priestess needs volunteers!
Nuns are turning into she-wolves,
All their lovers have cloven hooves.
Sex enslavement in the basement, devil's daughters in the convent!

Wicca
03:28
|

Baby, I’ve been told you’re a witch of Wicca
With hair like gold and eyes like mica.
You do no evil, do no harm,
Dancing naked in the storm
Wicca, doing it the old way, the old way of Wicca, a pentagram around me, because I’m here to stay!
I have heard it said you bake babies in the oven,
But I’m not afraid to step inside your coven
You do no evil, do no harm,
Weaving a love charm
Wicca, doing it the old way, the old way of Wicca, a pentagram around me, because I’m here to stay!
Stone circle, temple of lust,
You are starlight, not only dust,
You tell me the Great God Pan has come to set you free,
The belly of a wicker man is a warm place to be,
You do no evil, do no harm,
No need to run in alarm.
Wicca, doing it the old way, the old way of Wicca, wicker walls around me, because I’m here to stay!

Night of the Outsiders
02:51
|
|||
|
It’s the night of the outsiders,
Ring the alarm bells!
They’re going out of the sewers,
Going out of the wells.
It’s the night of the outsiders,
Tired of being alone,
Out of their dismal chambers
Into the unknown.
You’re not afraid of ghost riders,
You have seen quite a few,
But even Christ surrenders
When the outsiders break through?
Cover up the mirrors,
Before the outsiders pass,
‘Cause they wouldn’t like the monsters
In the polished glass.

Midnight Wedding
03:46
|
|||
|
In a church out of time,
Underwater cathedral,
I hope you don’t mind if the priest is a cannibal.
Free mason with a hard-on,
Love is the bloody law!
I beg your pardon 'cause I love you, and I have no place to go.
Tonight's alright for a midnight wedding
The moon is full and the virgin's begging
The church is full of renegades
The church is full of runaways
All with their shades on, and their blades out for innocent preys!
Is it what the elders want?
Is it what the elders need?
The places they haunt await you, only you my restless breed!
Tonight's alright for a midnight wedding
The moon is full and the virgin's begging
Begging and bleeding, bleeding and begging, tonight!

Black Monk
03:22
|
|||
|
Beware of the black monk tonight,
Don't let him drag you upstairs!
Exorcist, be careful,
A haunted house is full of snares!
Poltergeist from the priory … Poltergeist from the priory
Cold wind blowing in the hallway,
The black monk is home again.
Doors are shaking all day long
And you’re going insane.
Poltergeist from the priory… Why the hell are you doing this to me?
If we go away tomorrow,
If we leave this old country,
I hope he won’t follow,
If God is with us we’ll be free.
Poltergeist from the priory… Poltergeist from the...priory… Why the hell are you doing...this to me? Poltergeist from the...priory…

Blood on my Lips
02:34
|

|
Blood on my lips, blood on my lips, the blood of a rose, everybody knows.
Blood on my lips, blood on my lips, the blood of a rose, everybody knows.
Nothing better than country lasses, dancing like Lilith at black masses!
When I kill schoolgirls I light black candles, don't say you don't like satanic scandals!
She was so pure from her toes to her tips, feeling secure in her daddy's mansion.
Nothing sweeter than her blood on my lips, baby ain't I cuter than Charlie Manson?
Tied between the pit and the pendulum, no Prince Charming will ever come!
Got a headcrusher and a Judas cradle, like an inquisitor back in the saddle.
Cannibal cult in the heart of the city, nothing like this happened in your nightmares!
Offering babies to Baphomet, selling bodyparts to evil millionaires.
Prom queen scream queen run for your life, what I need is a taxidermied wife,
Prom queen scream queen run for your life or lick the steel of the real Ripper's knife!
What happened to the vampires they used to be scary? Now even the children love Bela Lugosi.
What happened to the vampires they used to be scary? Now even the children love Bela Lugosi.
But they don't know , but they don't know, they never know what they should know,
And they don't know and they don't know, and they don't know me!

You’re not going home, you're not going home girl
Because you are coming with me.
Don't tell me your name; I don't wanna know it,
I'm going to call you Jamie Lee.
It's Halloween for you and me,
Halloween like every night.
I'll tell you no lies and make no promises,
It may hurt a little when I bite!
I'll tell you no lies and make no promises,
You're not the one and only
But you’re not going home, you're not going home girl
Because you are coming with me.
Adrienne Barbeau,
Are you ready for the Creepshow?
Crystal Lowe,
Are you ready for the demon of snow?
No broken vow, baby,
Are you ready, I’m an American pyscho.
Come on Jamie Lee, I know it’s not Halloween
But I want you to be my scream queen!
