Upon the cross he did not die, they tortured him, but he survived Smuggled across the open sea, to southern France, tranquility
There he married Magdalene, and founded another dynasty A church was built upon a hill, to serve all of the gods at will
[01:44] 02 The Trees Have Eyes
I'd been riding hard most of the night, wooded ravines on a mountain side My horse was getting tired... and so was I Up there the moon was full, down here darkness ruled The trees were so much higher than they were meant to In what is known as "the devil's hide" I knew I was not alone, and it was not that crazy moon above Oh no... I could feel the trees have eyes I used to know this road so well, many a time I was here before But now it seemed so different, the road was no more I was lost, I stopped and looked around I had this eerie feeling, that I was being watched In what is known as "the devil's hide" I knew I was not alone, and it was not that crazy moon above Oh no... I could feel the trees have eyes Watching me
The trees have eyes, watching me Then the sound I didn't wanna hear, howling at the moon Eyes I didn't wanna see, I should have turned around So much louder, the howling was chilling my bones One wolf grown to a dozen, and here I was alone Yellow eyes... they were everywhere... yellow eyes... as I prepared to die! Suddenly there she was, in a halo of light Suddenly there she was, silvery black and white The bluest magical eyes staring right into mine Never ever had I seen in a wolf, such a beautiful beast In what is known as "the devil's hide" I knew I was not alone, and it was not that crazy moon above Oh no, I could feel the trees have eyes
[06:30] 03 Follow the Wolf
The morning slowly came, my life about to end Then the wind would change, all but one had left The angelic wolf had stayed, without a word she said Follow me, follow the wolf And so I followed the wolf, up the wooded mountain side Close to the top... she suddenly stopped Sun to the east, man and beast Just two silhouettes... in a landscape never to forget Like dark decaying teeth, I saw the village beneath A few and distant roads all leading away from here Nobody in the streets... decay I must follow the wolf again, I must follow her till the end The end
The wolf had turned around, facing higher ground And there it was... the house of god In awe I looked as time had stopped Follow me I had never seen a church like this before "This place is terrible" inscribed above the door Like dark decaying teeth, I saw the church within A few distant thoughts, inviting me in to sin Nobody in the church... decay Shrouded in a gloomy light, as if my final night I wonder if God was ever here Or did he turn away in fear, did he turn away in fear?
[10:57] 04 House of God
Once inside, everything would change before my eyes No more decay Glorious beauty had taken it's place But in horror... I watched as the wolf... began it's skin to shed I grabbed a silver crucifix expecting evil to be next To the floor it fell, the crucifix, the wolf was no more a beast Instead a lady only dreams can create Creeping deep into the heart I never had "I'll love you forever... never leave" It was love at first sight, in true love there is no wrong or right I didn't care from where she came, just her name... angel Then a kiss, soft and warm, my love, am I really not alone?
Nights of heavenly sin, in the house of god, I found... true love Nights of heavenly sin, in the house of god, I found... true love "I'll love you forever... never leave" To the floor it fell, the crucifix, the wolf was no more a beast Instead a lady only dreams can create Creeping deep into the heart I never had I didn't care from where she came, just her name... angel Then a kiss, soft and warm, my love, am I really not alone? Nights of heavenly sin, in the house of god, I found... true love Nights of heavenly sin, in the house of god, I found... true love Angel... angel... angel... angel where are you now?
[16:33] 05 Black Devil
There he was that little man, sitting by the altar... black devil Carved in stone so dark and could... black devil Help me, help me, 'cause I don't know what's going on It was the early morning of the seventh day I had been making love to angel in every single way The sun was peeking through a window high above That's when I saw her kiss the little devil on his head Black devil... if you could only speak... black devil What do you see when you're looking at me? There he was that little man, fingers spread like claws... black devil I wonder what it is he knows... black devil Help me, help me, 'cause I don't know what's going on Black devil... if you could only speak... black devil
What do you see when you're looking at me? When I look around, this church on holy ground There are things within, that should have never been Why two pulpits in a place like this? One facing to the east, the other to the west One of the guilded canopies have gargoyles in the sun And on the other canopy I see demons having fun Black devil... if you could only speak... black devil What do you see when you're looking at me? Black devil always near, why don't you want me here? I can feel your hate in my soul, I wonder what it is you know Black devil... what's going on?
[21:01] 06 The Pact
Outside the leaves are slowly falling from the trees Black clouds are moving in, a storm is coming on Inside the confessional, angel and I are playing games I'm acting the priest, and she is the sinner of all my dreams... Dreams, dreams, turn into a nightmare A sudden change on her face, her smile is gone without a trace "Nothing... nothing is forever", she said "So many things are wrong in here, so many times I've lived in fear A year ago... I signed a sacred pact, and if you love me so will you" Then she told me of the pact, her tears were not an act And they were not alone, all my dreams... shattered to the bone I fell to my knees in prayer... but oh this is hell The pact is so powerful, it leaves you no way out Unless within a year, someone else will sign it in blood
Someone to take your place, to guard this evil church Another wolf to roam the hills, another wolf... in for the kill "Nothing... nothing is forever", she said "So many things are wrong in here, so many times I've lived in fear A year ago... I signed a sacred pact" If I sign it now, angel will be free to go She must leave without her memory, no more a wolf, but as a lady And if I don't, then in seven days she will die before my very eyes Either way... I'll never see her again If I sign then I must stay, and only leave as a wolf for prey "Nothing... nothing is forever", she said "So many things are wrong in here, so many times I've lived in fear A year ago... I signed a sacred pact" And now I'm signing it for you
[25:11] 07 Goodbye
So many tears in my eyes, I have to look away How can I say the word, that never should be said I lay my broken heart to rest, and so I set you free I wish you only the best... even if it's not with me
Fly away... Beautiful angel fly away to better things Beautiful angel fly away to better things Fly away
[27:11] 08 Just a Shadow
Again I'm so alone, the wine is pouring down No one to share with, no one to care with The only light in my life Comes from the candlelight, black candles left behind As I'm sitting through the night I'm so cold and dark inside Angel, your memory will haunt me till the day I die Just a shadow, a shadow of a man I'm just a shadow, a shadow of a man The eyes of statues standing along the nave They seem to follow my every move, every tear I shed I am no longer living, but I am still not dead I'm somewhere in between, I am of the unseen Must we have the other side, just to feel alive? Oh I wonder what would be had we not created me Just a shadow, a shadow of a man I'm just a shadow, a shadow of a man
The eyes of statues standing along the nave They seem to follow my every move They drive me insane Surrounded by darkness in this cold church of thine I try to remember, all that once was mine I don't know what tomorrow will bring But if life is so divine, how come I suffer so in mine? How come I suffer in mine? The eyes of statues standing along the nave They seem to follow my every move They drive me insane I am no longer of the living, but I am still not dead I'm somewhere in between, I am of the unseen I lived a lifetime of sorrow and hate, up until the other day That's when I left this sick old world behind Oh how love can make you blind
[31:47] 09 Help!!!
Help... help... can anybody help me now? Help... help... my mind is lying on the ground I don't know, I just don't know if I'm still alive I see the sun, the sun is up again, another day of just the same I'm slowly going mad, emptiness is all I have I see t
