| [00:17.66] |
A blissful maid has pierced my heart |
| [00:19.79] |
She's feasted on my soul |
| [00:21.88] |
A banquet made of flesh and bone |
| [00:24.01] |
So I was dethroned |
| [00:25.85] |
Like kings without shields and swords |
| [00:28.17] |
Like bards without their chords |
| [00:30.09] |
Now call the Ravens, light the fire |
| [00:31.97] |
To rot in hell my curse |
| [00:34.35] |
|
| [00:35.00] |
Besieged by the flames - By the church declaimed |
| [00:43.00] |
Unholy will - Pagan I die, as a pagan I lived |
| [00:51.20] |
|
| [00:52.00] |
The sons of Grandier bade command |
| [00:56.05] |
Hither to bring all the people from afar |
| [01:00.37] |
The rich, the poor and the sick were gathered |
| [01:04.00] |
Countless quite! As the priest was a hero to their eyes |
| [01:08.61] |
The wood smoke rose black over blaze |
| [01:12.86] |
And blend was the roar of the fires in the sky |
| [01:16.86] |
In heavy mood, misery they moaned |
| [01:20.96] |
As the sky was devoured by the funeral pyre |
| [01:24.70] |
|
| [01:25.32] |
"Mephistopheles bring wrath |
| [01:27.98] |
Upon the ones who insult and stain the name of God |
| [01:32.96] |
with vileness and greed |
| [01:36.35] |
Upon the ones who torture and their cursed breed" |
| [01:40.50] |
|
| [01:41.00] |
Before Decay's abismal fingers |
| [01:43.40] |
Brush against my brow |
| [01:45.32] |
And sweep the lines where beauty lingers |
| [01:47.49] |
I will pledge my vow |
| [01:49.40] |
Of all the villains claimed to live |
| [01:51.66] |
In chastity and need |
| [01:53.73] |
"A thousand times into the fire" |
| [01:55.76] |
The oath I now decree |
| [01:57.59] |
|
| [01:58.51] |
Besieged by the flames - By the church declaimed |
| [02:06.76] |
Unholy will - Pagan I die, as a pagan I lived |
| [02:14.28] |
|
| [02:15.20] |
A false diabolical pact was written |
| [02:19.26] |
In the name of Grandier and all the spawn of Hell |
| [02:23.64] |
"The love of women, the flower of virgins |
| [02:27.71] |
The respect of Kings, honors, lust and charming spells" |
| [02:31.95] |
"He will join us in our crusade |
| [02:36.24] |
And sin by sin he'll become the Devil's blade" |
| [02:40.27] |
In noble mood, dignity he owned |
| [02:44.42] |
As the sky was devoured by the funeral pyre |
| [02:51.05] |
|
| [02:52.19] |
(Guitar solo: Raphael) |
| [03:04.42] |
|
| [03:05.42] |
His eyes were fiery and yet so hollow |
| [03:09.53] |
Sixteen pints of water he was forced to swallow |
| [03:13.69] |
But he did not kneel, and vauntingly swore: |
| [03:19.51] |
"In thy gaze I see the eyes of Satan" |
| [03:23.35] |
|
| [03:29.32] |
The sons of Grandier bade command |
| [03:33.52] |
Hither to bring all the people from afar |
| [03:37.61] |
The rich, the poor and the sick were gathered |
| [03:41.76] |
Countless quite! As the priest was a hero to their eyes |
| [03:46.01] |
The wood smoke rose black over blaze |
| [03:50.39] |
And blend was the roar of the fires in the sky |
| [03:54.29] |
In heavy mood, misery they moaned |
| [03:58.43] |
As the sky was devoured by the funeral pyre |
| [04:03.61] |
