Lyrics: The night is black He stalks his prey Offers them food and drink, a place to stay His passion is strong His bloodlust burns Their end is near when will they ever learn? You’re trapped, you feel the evil of Fritz Haarmann unfold He sinks his teeth in your throat Your blood runs cold The death toll rises The mark of his wrath The rotting corpses are left in his path The streets are cleared, the houses secured But throughout the night screams of pain are heard You’re trapped, you feel the evil of Fritz Haarmann unfold He sinks his teeth in your throat Your blood runs cold

Lyrics: You came to me a spirit in the night Flying on silver wings You called my name, a whisper on the wind The song the angel sings You spread your wings, take me away Beyond the gates of light We danced and played among the stars on our ethereal flight I feel your love, I feel your heat Burning deep inside you The flame is strong, the circle complete Our love will never die You’re always on my mind Shed not a tear, forget all your grief Our reign shall never end Liars and fools, the blind and the kings How could they comprehend? The path is dark, the way is not clear Not knowing what we’ll find We are as one, together we stand until the end of time I feel your love, I feel your heat Burning deep inside you The flame is strong, the circle complete Our love will never die You’re always on my mind

Lyrics: You speak the word to cleanse the soul They pay the price, you play the role Are we misled? Are you blaming us or is it you? Who’s Evil Now? Words of deceit, divine decree How can the blind help the blind to see? Donation please! Are we so corrupt or is it you? Who’s Evil Now? Your conscious bleeds, you live a lie But you stink of truth in the public’s eye And wealth is sweet! Are we hypocrites or is it you? Who’s Evil Now? Is it you?

Lyrics: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name Forgive those who trespass against us And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil Fear not the night, the wrath of God shall keep you strong Follow the light, fear not to tread within the valley of shadows Lead us from sin Lead us from the hands of evil Lead us from hate Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from hell In Nomine Dei man has opened up the gates of hell For all man’s sins He gave his only son into the clutches of evil Lead us from sin Lead us from the hands of evil Lead us from hate Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from hell

Lyrics: The Red Death had long devastated the country No pestilence had ever been so hideous, or so fatal Blood was its Avatar and its seal - the redness and horror of blood The dreaded Red Death had reemerged Stalked in the streets singing our dirge, spread by rats Fever and pain, bodies marred with black, bloody stains The prince Prospero, his dames and his knights Seeking shelter from the red blight Totally blind to their own fate they couldn’t know that they were too late Blood was its Avatar and its seal - the redness and horror of blood So far from life, royal convent Iron walls and battlements Seven rooms with food and wine, an ancient clock to keep the time Life grew dull as months passed by until Prospero answered their cry Then silence fell in the chamber of doom No one dared enter the western most room Blood was its Avatar and its seal - the redness and horror of blood Then there appeared a figure in black The revelers frozen dead in their tracks Hidden from sight, the hooded man’s face Behind a mask, death’s reincarnate As he walked on through all seven rooms The brave Prospero would not let him through But then his life was ripped from his lungs All fell silent The Red Death had come And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all
