Lyrics
Karnstein Castle
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There is a house on the edge of the forest
And it is steeped in sin
Therein dwells an unmarried woman
And she lets in lots of men
Another victim has been found drained of blood
Not far from her abode
Tonight the fires kindle for her
They will... they will cleanse her soul
Call the brotherhood together, they will decide
Who is to live, and who is to die
Black witchery upon the land
Good men die by the devil's hand
Vampires and witches drink their fill
Then back to the black castle upon the hill
Karnstein castle is gorged with devils
It is spoken of the infamous revels
Succubi and lamiae hold their court
Young maidens tortured just for sport
Fair woman become the satyr's slave
And a suicide won't stay in her grave
Brought back to walk the earth again
And drink the blood of god-fearing men
There is a women, and she makes them all nervous
Never do they see her at the church service
Charge her with your horses and run her right down
If she lives, for the fire at the stake she is bound
Obedience to god, these sinners have to learn
Tie one to the stake, the rest can watch her burn
The minions of lord lucifer scourge the land
And laugh to the dirge of the damned
Call the brotherhood together, they will decide
Who is to live, and who is to die
Black witchery upon the land
Good men die by the devil's hand
Vampires and witches drink their fill
Then back to the black castle upon the hill
Karnstein castle is gorged with devils
It is spoken of the infamous revels
Succubi and lamiae hold their court
Young maidens tortured just for sport
Fair women become the satyr's slave
And a suicide won't stay in her grave
Brought back to the walk the earth again
And drink the blood of god-fearing men
Sultry seductress with silky, white skin
In her funeral gown, you stand paralyzed
Unable to flee, now hypnotized
She toyed with you, her prey she caught fresh
Now her teeth sink like daggers into your flesh
Put into your coffin but you shall arise
Stalking the earth until each sunrise
Abiding in the castle of the karnstein clan, in orgies obscene to god and man
The time has come to make a stand
Or i tell the future of thee of this land
Ignorant christians' victims can die by fire
Not so, when it comes to the vampire
The only way to destroy the undead horde-a-stake through the heart and put them to the sword
