Voodoo Nights

Worshipping the serpent, raising the dead
The wizard's spell is ringing in my head.
Once upon a time, and so very far away
In a place that you can't find, better kneel and pray
Sacrifice of blood, macabre human feast
Faces in the mud, slayed by the beast
Worshipping the dark, playing with the dead
Grinning like a shark, deamon in your head
The dead shall rise again, and walk upon the earth
Wizard's words ring true, death will bring rebirth
Chorus 1:
Eternal lies in the serpent's eyes
Voodoo spirits walk alive
Macabre sights in the voodoo night
Wings of death'll hunt you down.
Chorus 2:
Oh, you know too much, just a little touch
Of the forbidden knowledge...
Casting evil spells, we're children of the grave
The serpent's raising Hell, turn masters into slaves.
Sitting on his throne in temples of doom
His evil power's grown in eternal gloom.
If you see the truth, the deamon is unveiled
Leave behind the truth and all of those who've failed
They will never learn
No matter how they try
Forever they will burn
Already dead, they cannot die.
Repeat Chorus 1.
Chorus 2:
Oh, you know too much, just a little touch
Of the forbidden knowledge, of the forbidden knowledge
Casting evil spells, we're children of the grave
Serpents in the depths of Hell turn masters into slaves.
Obeying all the rules won't get you anywhere
Obeying is for fools, and fools are everywhere
They will never learn, no matter how they try
Forever they will burn, already dead, they'll never die
Never fool yourself, the magic is too strong
Praying for your life, you're dead before too long
When it's said and done, the dead will walk the earth
When there's no more sun, Life, it has no worth.
Repeat Chorus 1. Ah....
If you see the truth, the deamon is unveiled
Leave behind the fools and all of those who've failed
Sitting on his throne in temples of doom
His evil power's growing, eternal gloom
Never fool yourself, the magic is too strong
Praying for your life, you're dead before too long.
Yes indeed...
