1. Haunted Palace

A fair and stately palace 
Gone mad within itself 
No life around the forest 
Circling the monarch's realm 

The curse of generations 
Upon the Usher clan 
Turned life to desolation 
Laid waste to fruitful land 

Haunted Palace 

Sacrificial blood stains 
The familyborn to fall 
Never to break evil's chains 
Brought forth by ancient call 

Distortion of the senses 
Damnation of the soul 
The palace of the breathless 
Where death's bell takes it's toll 

Haunted Palace 

Destruction of Foundations 
Both of the mind and mass 
Caused by incantations 
Of family members past 

Inner plane disturbance 
Crumbling every wall 
Tormented by existence 
The Haunted Palace falls 

Haunted Palace

2. Spirits of the Dead

Among the crypts and grey tombstones 
The Spirits did appear 
Where life escaped but not the souls 
Mortally bound in fear 

Their voice is like a whisper 
Appearance brief and fey 
Visions of holy sinners 
Not seen by light of day 
Spirits Of The Dead 

Holy Fire 
Burning the brain 
Crossed with desire 
Reincarnate 
They stood before, here 
Now laid to rest 
Trapped by their own fear 
To make The Quest 

[CHORUS] 

Spectres climbing through the mist 
Where the mourners tread 
Apparitions from the past 
Eyes now orbs of red 
They're Spirits Of The Dead 

Born of The Fire 
I have come 
Unto The Fire 
I shall return 
Know well thy soul's path 
Don't bar it's way 
Hell has the last laugh 
For those who stay 

3. Valley of Unrest

Graceful and silent 
Valley of dreams 
Marred by war's violence 
And deathly screams 

Machines of metal 
Put to the test 
Now no survival 
In The Valley Of Unrest 

Blood-bath of slaughter 
Come to this place 
The Devil's daughter 
Now shows her face 

To all the humans 
Part of this quest 
No light of wisdom 
In The Valley Of Unrest 

Smell of flesh burning 
Death in the air 
Phantoms are stirring 
Mortals beware 

Murder and torture 
War at its best 
Life has no future 
In The Valley Of Unrest

4. Mystification

Through the winds of time 
A poet found The Key 
To The Elder Rhyme 
Some call the song mystic 

With tales of gore 
And terror in the night 
His words, no more, 
Have kept me mystified 

[CHORUS] 

An art revealed to no one 
Some say insanity 
A lesson from The Baron 
Master of mystery 
I'm mystified 

Shadows of his thoughts 
Bring horror to the mind 
Legions of the lost 
Brought forth by his design 

Morbid tales unfold 
That leave thee terrified 
Poetry of old 
To keep thee mystified 

[CHORUS] 

Macabre words of fear 
Created in the night 
Death always so near 
Manifesting fright 

In his work I've seen 
A strange and mystic light 
His life-long dream 
Was to mystify 

[CHORUS] 

Decadence and suffering 
Devils in the bellfry 
Art of Black Arts 
Summoned by his rhyme 

Dark and evil madness 
Induced by his passion 
For mystification 
Of the mind, mystify 

[CHORUS]

5. Masque of the Red Death

Outside these walls 
Dances The Plague 
All victims fall 
Within it's wake 

[CHORUS] 

Oh, Prince Prospero 
All of your dreams 
Fade with your last 
Dying breath 

Locked in your palace 
Safe as it seems 
But not from The Masque 
Of Red Death 

Masquerade Ball 
Morbid the night 
The Reaper calls 
Grandfather chimes 

[CHORUS] 

The uninvited guest 
Who mocks the masquerade 
In guise of wretched death 
A masque of red decay 

He passes through the archways 
Of all the palace rooms 
The seventh dark and deadly 
Where The Clock strikes midnight's doom 

Casting his blade 
The Prince attacks 
Death shows its face 
Behind The Masque 

[CHORUS]

6. Up from the Crypt

Disciples of Hell 
Mortus in flesh 
Corpses that kill 
Living off death 

With this crimson 
Sacrifice 
All the dead 
Shall live and rise 
Up From The Crypt 

Contorted limbs 
Tis blood they crave 
The Rite begins 
Amongst the graves 

With this human 
Sacrifice 
All the dead 
Shall live and rise 
Up From The Crypt 

Demons Gate 
Opened Wide 
Nightmares Fate 
Lives to die 

Mortified 
Flesh from Hell 
Comes to life 
For the kill 

Red mist and gore 
Cover the earth 
Virgin flesh torn 
Death given birth 

With this infant 
Sacrifice 
All the dead 
Shall live and rise 
Up From The Crypt

7. Children of the Night

Before the fire 
We speak of lore 
Of long lost tribes 
And their wars 

When Picts did thrive 
On blood and gore 
To stay alive 
On this shore 

[CHORUS] 

A holy war 
Born of The Well 
To stop the horde 
Come up from Hell 

Vengeful for death 
Inside the mind 
The Quest 
To burn away the night 

A son of Crom 
Before his life 
An Aryan 
From The Light 

I shalt not run 
From any fight 
Death to Children 
Of The Night 

[CHORUS] 

The Sons Of Aryan 
Forgotten through the years 
Born of The Ancient Ones 
In The Forest of our fears 

Cthulu still is here 
The Horn calls to unite 
Wotan casts his spear 
Over The Children Of The Night 

Sons Of The Flame 
And Muspel's might 
Stand strong in name 
Of The Light 

Know well The Wave 
By count is Ninth 
Returns The Staves 
To the flight 

[CHORUS]

8. Dragon Star

Night sky turned into fire 
Like Saxon funeral pyres 
Melting away the ice 
With heat from solar light 

To William and his horde 
This omen was The Word 
Victorius he would be 
Against all Saxony 

[CHORUS] 

Through solar winds 
The comet lives 
Bringer of war 
Torch of The Gods 
The Dragon Star 

Throughout our destiny 
This star has been the key 
To wars both lost and won 
And birth of Christendom 

Too late we find the truth 
That's lost within our youth 
The way of Gods and men 
Have strayed apart again 

[CHORUS] 

Alexander 
Born of The Star 
Mortal of God 
Who cut the Gordian Knot 

Bring back the faith 
It's not too late 
To turn the tides 
From genocide 

[CHORUS] 

A message from The Gods 
The Cycle carries on 
Life passes to be born 
In yet a higher form 

This is the way of life 
As day must turn to night 
The Star shall fade away 
As we must all one day 

[CHORUS]

9. Death by the Hammer

Through frost and fire 
The Vikings came 
Dealers of death 
In Odin's name 

Barbaric lust 
Born of the soul 
One way to crush 
All of thy foes 

Death By The Hammer 

God Of Thunder 
Thor be thy name 
Son of Odin 
Breaker of chains 

Valkyries fly 
The Hammer falls 
On every plane 
Ragnarok calls 

Death By The Hammer 

Valhalla's fires 
Burn through the night 
Einherjer 
Storm to the fight 

The funeral pyres 
In Nifleheim 
The Demon's lair 
Ichor burns bright
