[SOLO: HANK]

They're walking by the night
The Moon has frozen blue
Long black coats a shelter for the rain
Their load must get through

Now bats are leaving their trees
They're joining the call
Seven Satanic Hell Preachers
Heading for the hall

Bringing a blood of a newborn child
Got to succeed, if not it's Satan's fall

Home... come home
Evil messengers with blood stained wings
Home... come home
Home... come home

Is it Satan's fall?
No... it's Satan's call
Craniums high on stakes
It's Satan's epigraph
Something new can't erase... 666
They call him the beast

[SOLO: MICHAEL]

Use your demon eyes, uncover the disguise
Time is out... Yeah, I don't need your God
On the law of Satan
Pray and obey it forever
Oh the law of Satan

[SOLO: HANK & MICHAEL]

Innocent lovers... it's a lie

[SOLO: MICHAEL]

Iron fists won't do no good against the evil eyes
Of seven holy Hell Preachers, don't you even try
Now they cross the River Styx and see the Castle rise so high
Waiting on the other shore for Charon to arrive
A shapeless horns and glowing eyes, Satan's still alive
He receives the sacrifice with evil laughs and pride
You better escape, you're got to escape
You cannot escape


7. Melissa

[SOLO: MICHAEL]

I'm kneeling in front of the altar
Satan's cross upon the wall
Strange emptiness, a crystal ball between two candles

Melissa, you were mine
Melissa, you were the light

She was a witch
Why did they take you away?

[SOLO: HANK]

Melissa, you were the queen of the night
Melissa, you were my light
I swear revenge on the priest
The priest must die
He must die in the name of Hell

[SOLO: MICHAEL]

Melissa, can you hear me?
Melissa, are you there?

Nothing is left outside at the stake
They're taken her away from me
