1. Witch's Mark

Another sleepless night,
Another girl can not hide
From their hate.
The dungeon awaits!

[Inquisitor:]
You are the Satan's host,
"A witch! Black devil's whore
Did you say, yes?"
Do you confess?
What is on her arm?
"A black mark! She will die!"

Poisoned and insane minds!
Flames are dancing,
and almost reach the sky!
Poisoned and insane minds!
Day by day she'd innocent's blood!

The great Chief Magistrate
Does not listen to her.
No one around
To save her life.
Dungeons are wet of blood,
She feels death all around.
No tears to drop,
No ray of hope.
He looked in her bright eyes:

[Inquisitor:]
You're guilty, you will die!"

Poisoned and insane minds!
Flames are dancing, and almost reach the sky!
Poisoned and insane minds!
Day by day she'd innocent's blood!

Look at here arm!
It's Satan's sign!
The devil's mark!
Look at her arm!
It's Satan's sign!
The witch's mark!"

Poisoned and insane minds!
Flames are dancing, and almost reach the sky!
Poisoned and insane minds!
Day by day she'd innocent's blood!

[Inquisitor:]
"You are sentenced to death
You will burn at the stake!"
From spark to flames...
From fear to death...
The judge felt burning pain,
Looked at his arm and fell...

[Inquisitor:]
"The same black sign
As on her arm!"

Poisoned and insane minds...
Poisoned, savage and blind...
You are under her dark spell!
This is your omen!
You can not get rid of that sign
The witch's mark!



2. Child Of The Flame

He knew that something was wrong,
And didn't expect that
Because of his last judgement
His family will die.

Magic spell all around...
Burning mark on his arm...

He lost his sense of power
When house began to burn.
Fire came without warning,
Took his servants and wife.

Magic spell around...
Killing them one by one...

Burn! Burn! Fire is all around!
Burn! Burn! What a cursed night!
Burn! Burn! No one will stay alive!
Black Mark - Prediction!
Burn! Burn! Fire is all around!
Burn! Burn! What a cursed night!
Burn! Burn! No one will stay alive!
Except unholy child.

Flames got higher and higher
Sarah saw burning house,
And jumped into the fire
When heard a crying child.

Magic spell around...
Only we will survive...

In the treacherous fire
She was on dangerous ground...
But got out from this death-trap
With a boy on her arms.

Magic spell around...
Little William survived...

Burn! Burn! Fire is all around!
Burn! Burn! What a cursed night!
Burn! Burn! No one will stay alive!
Black Mark - Prediction!
Burn! Burn! Fire is all around!
Burn! Burn! What a cursed night!
Burn! Burn! No one will stay alive!
Except unholy child...


3. It's Your Omen

World was slowly drowning
In the heretic's blood, and tears of the witches.
Centuries of terror brought horrible crimes,
Times of shambles...
No chances for people who had rational explanations.
No mercy for those who dared to speak out loud
They meet torturers!

Oh... It's your omen!
Oh... It's your omen!

Before she was born
Her destiny was told and predicted:
To follow a black mark,
And to find a child in the fire!
One day he was a son
Of a brutal and cruel inquisitor,
Now he's a foster-child of the witch
And he will stop the slaughter.

Oh... It's your omen!
Oh... It's your omen!

She devotes her whole life
To teach him the rules of the witchcraft,
How to lead his life in a honorable way of existence.
Torturers, tormentors were kept far from them,
No fear, no dread:
She used her connections to make him a judge,
Right, and fair!

Oh... It's your omen!
Oh... It's your omen!


4. Crimen Excepta

[feat. David Bower]

Again, and again he's judging the witches,
But every time his aim to free them.
Sorcerer? Judge?
Nobody knew he's an unholy child!
Again, and again he's practicing magic,
And his whole life is a mystery.
Sorcerer? Judge?
Nobody knew he's an unholy child of the damned!
Don't need to beg for your life!
Fire is still burning - but not for us.
Don't need to beg for your life!
Witchery will bring justice to us.
No! We won't die!
He is the one - lord of the werewolves
He wields your fears, master of the moon.
Powerful spells, forbidden practice!
He's mightier than hell!
He will hunt down all those whose blood is
Poisoned by greed - They'll meet the justice:

[William:]
"Cursed are their souls... Dirty from killing..."
He's unholy child of the damned!
Don't need to beg for your life!
Fire is still burning - But not for us.
Don't need to beg for your life!
Witchery will bring justice to us.
No! We won't die!

[William:]
"I feel fear of the innocent,
They will not die from my hands!
I am here to let them go,
...Let them go
Bishops, and mentally ill priests
Will meet the curse of the witch!"

[Sarah:]
"Child taken out from the flames
Will rule, will save us!"


5. Medicus Animarum

Bloody, bloody day, he is waiting for someone to break.
He's all wet of blood - Oh, so empty and insane are his eyes!
He's able to see if one suffers from mortal sin!
Bishop's favourite one - He's the most cruel torturer
In the town.

No, she will not see the light!
She's daughter of the night!
He and church are always right,
She'll loose her life tonight...

"A witch!", people said. Now she's naked,
And scared to death.
Someone saw her while she was casting a spell? What a lie!
Torturer awaits, the murderer, by church he is paid.
He won't set her free - It is her time to die in agony.

No, she will not see the light!
She's daughter of the night!
He and church are always right,
She'll loose her life tonight...

He will heal her soul - He knows how Satan takes control.
And hell' bring him out,
Even if she'll pay for it with her life.
When she's mad with pain - Is it better than burning at stake?

No, she will not see the light!
She's daughter of the night!
He and church are always right,
She'll loose her life tonight...

No, she will not see the light!
She's daughter of the night!


6. The Spell Of Death

They took her away and didn't say a word.
Unholy bastards! No changes for her!
But she knew what was goin' on...
Barefoot and scared, they throw her in the snow,
Her hands were shaking, she knew where she'll go...
Will the moon see her blood tonight?
Wind brought whispers of her destiny,
Hail was slashing her pale skin,
Around her all those who bring the death.
It seems to be the end..

[Sarah:]
"Souls of the night,
Mighty, and right,
I'm calling thee!
My end in the fire!
And when I'm gone,
Take my soul home,
Yes, this is my fate,
That's what I desire, now..."

[Sarah:]
"I felt that something would happen this night:
They try to force me to say awful lies.
Yes, I saw it many times in my dreams,
I've been accused, I know what it means,
I can read in their evil minds..."
Wind brought whispers of her destiny,
Hail was slashing her pale skin,
Around her all those who bring the death.
It seems to be the end...

[Sarah:]
"Souls of the night,
Mighty, and right,
I'm calling thee!
My end in the fire!
And when I'm gone,
Take my soul home,
Yes, this is my fate,
That's what I desire...

"Souls of the night,
Mighty, and right,
I'm calling thee!
My end in the fire!
And when I'm gone,
Take my soul home,
Yes, this is my fate,
That's what I desire, now..."

Next day they took her before the great court,
Against their God she committed a crime.
People were hungry for somebody's death!
Suddenly there came the judge - Her son...


7. Hope Is Gone, Here's New Law

Anger came like thunder - Their dissatisfaction
Makes them savage like hungry beasts.
Dissemblers and traitors, a renegade nation
Not a world that we want to see...
Right and justice, fairness, it is not for them
Rogues, with holy bible in hands!
They think they are the law, self-styled judges,
But they can't kill this winter day.
Look in their eyes...
They're merciless liars! Merciless liars
Started the chase on their own...

[William:]
"Now our hopes are gone
There's no place that we could go...
If there are no crimes,
They will tell new lies.
There is nobody to trust
Our hopes are gone...
Here comes the new law..."
People couldn't believe in the final verdict
How could the judge let her go alive?
But for greedy people it had no meaning:
"She was found guilty of a crime!"
Their new plan was
To start false investigation,
Doesn't matter
Where lies the truth:
"He aquitted his mother
It's betrayal,
So tonight he needs to die too!"
Look in their eyes...
They're merciless liars!
Merciless liars
Started the chase on their own...

[William:]
"Now our hopes are gone
They're came with new law.
There's no place that we could go...
If there are no crimes,
They will tell new lies.
There is nobody to trust
Our hopes are gone...
Here comes the new law..."


8. Fire Be My Gates

[Ghost of Sarah:]
I've seen in my life so many dark nights.
Nights of rituals and rites.
Meetings at midnight with spirits and ghouls
To cross dimensions of life...
Secret... powers...
I crossed whole world and I've seen many times
Bloody wars, hate, genocide.
But I've never thought I would witness what
The inquisition had done.

Slaughter... murders...
Burn! Burn! Take us away!
Second world except us...
Death is waiting in the dead of night.
Burn! Burn! Take us away!
There is better place for us...
Death is waiting in the dead of night.
Fire, be my gates!

Fear is growing...
They're afraid of what they don't understand,
That's what human nature is.
Instead of open their minds and to learn,
They much prefer to kill!

Slaughter... murders...
Burn! Burn! Take us away!
Second world except us...
Death is waiting in the dead of night.
Burn! Burn! Take us away!
There is better place for us...
Death is waiting in the dead of night.
Fire, be my gates!

They came with torches,
Surrounded our home.
Ready to set fire, and to watch it burn.
William who saved his mother
From their hands
Will die in flames!
I am the keeper of the secret curse
If I die, you'll meet the deadly fate too!
Flames are getting stronger,
Can you feel it, fools!?
Look at your arms!


9. Tyrani Piekiel

[originally by Vader]
[feat. Piotr "Peter" Wiwczarek]

Piekielny wrzask,
diabelskie szpony
za szyje chwytaja ciebie

Piekielny ból,
szatana smiech
w ciemnosci rozlega sie

Krwi! Krwi!
Zadza rozpala mój mózg.
Krwi! Krwi!

Razem ze smiercia
goraca krew noca pic!
Razem do piekla,
razem w pelni ksiezyca
z wilkami wyc!

Krwi! Krwi!
Zadza rozpala mój mózg.
Krwi! Krwi!

Krew na niebie
W piekle krew
Krew na rekach
W duszy gniew
Krzyk ofiary
Dziki krzyk
Krzyk na zgube
Krzyk!

Krwi! Krwi!
Zadza rozpala mój mózg.
Krwi! Krwi!

Cmantarny mrok, ksiezyca blask,
slychac w oddali gdzies dzwon.
Zbliza sie wciaz, skrada sie tuz
upadly aniol twój stróz

Demona znak na twojej czaszce
goracy metal wypala
Bramy piekiel otworem staja
Od dzis przybadz tu.

Przybadz tu...

Szatana smiech w ciemnosci rozlega sie!
