Creep through the dead of night Just like a ghost The church bell sing a song Of sorrow 'n pain A cold wind from the north Blowing in the streets The funeral cortege Makes it through the rain Dead eyes It's a trail of tears Mad eyes Feel the shiver of fear Each night I'm trying to suppress My endless hunger Red sun is burning in my eyes A futile fight Each night I'm trying to resist I'm going under Each night again it takes control The beast inside I chase the light away Pure evil yearn for the day A shadow lives in my mind The greatest fear of mankind Who was the beggar and Who was King? I make no difference no The dance of d**h I'm counting down from ten Go lock your door The funeral cortege Makes it through the rain Dead eyes It's a trail of tears Mad eyes Feel the shiver of fear You feel my cold Breath on your skin If saint or sinner You're all just Candles in the wind A fading light You hide but shelter Can't be found I bring the winter Each night again It takes control The beast inside I chase the light away Pure evil yearn for the day A shadow lives in my mind The greatest fear of mankind The moon high in the sky Wears black tonight Shines down on twisted scenes Of horror 'n pain Still creeping through the Dark just like a ghost The funeral cortege makes it Through the rain Dead eyes It's a trail of tears Mad eyes Feel the shiver of fear I will go down in history Years to remember Make my way Crossing land 'n sea I search for blood The century goes down in tears No fame no splendor The greatest plague a mystery The wrath of god? I chase the light away Pure evil yearn for the day A shadow lives in my mind The greatest fear of mankind
