[00:22.02] At the very start
[00:23.04] There were whispers in the dark
[00:25.03] And for all the world to see
[00:27.59] There was witchcraft at its heart
[00:30.45] And on the autumn air
[00:32.32] The scent of bonfires everywhere
[00:35.00] And a fell wind stirred the leaves...
[00:38.66] The persecution song
[00:42.13] Telltale signs of possession
[00:45.50] Little Miss Demeanour in the demons bed
[00:50.95] Gasps she just could not suppress
[00:53.57] After lights-out midst the dead
[00:56.32] And a past on which sin cast its darts of wickedness
[01:02.54] Time was running faster for disaster
[01:07.57] Strange nights were burning
[01:09.33] In the furnace of her dreams
[01:12.75] A name was uttered, Lilith
[01:16.07] Mistress, Playmate, Master
[01:17.32] Such sights were stolen in the throes of !ecstasy
[01:27.61] And in the thick of all
[01:34.78] In the Black Goddess's thrall
[01:37.22] With the wood unseen for trees
[01:40.17] Victoria stood tall
[01:42.47] Promiscuous in step
[01:44.78] The Devil breathing down her neck
[01:46.90] As jealous apiece...zealots stitched
[01:50.85] The persecution song
[01:54.22] Telltale signs of possession
[01:57.29] Fickle Miss Demeanour hissed and disappeared
[02:03.61] To her Sisters of the cloth
[02:05.41] She now reeked of Astaroth
[02:07.85] Again the curse had surfaced
[02:10.16] Sneaking back the pagan YEARS
[02:15.32] Weaving webs of great revealing
[02:17.71] Hidden in the convent
[02:20.87] An evil libido abided, undone
[02:23.92] Breathing, deceiving
[02:25.07] Feasting on her deviant feelings
[02:28.56] She'd clung to her crucifix
[02:30.43] Once her torturers begun
[02:44.12] Her came screams quick
[02:45.29] The miserichord
[02:46.97] Den to vice and screw
[02:48.36] That had reddened many tongues
[02:50.51] Wrung symphonies
[02:51.94] Of suffering from her
[03:09.11] AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !
[03:13.88] Many moons hardened pure hearts
[03:16.44] Those plagued by her black arts
[03:18.57] Their rooms secreting phantom orgies
[03:21.12] Vile rites and rifled graves
[03:24.05] Mere hours, now towered
[03:26.30] Above this bent and beaten flower
[03:29.11] Her naked body privy to
[03:32.11] The Abbess and her WAYS
[03:43.76] Victoria fought
[03:44.88] No guilt was wrought
[03:46.32] Just a torrid blasphemiesretort of
[03:48.07] Nails and crosses vomited forth
[03:49.86] From this pretty little whore now arched like Hell
[03:58.79] Arched like Hell
[04:11.96] At the very start
[04:16.25] There were whispers in the dark
[04:18.50] And for all the world to see
[04:21.00] There was witchcraft at its heart
[04:24.26] But then the end grew nigh
[04:26.65] A dirge inferno filled the sky
[04:28.65] In its customary key...
[04:31.99] The persecution song
[04:35.84] Telltale signs of obsession
[04:39.02] No wailing banshee would dishonour their name
[04:44.63] Nuns dragged her to the blasted oak
[04:48.78] Storm-clouds threatened holy smoke
[04:51.84] They hanged her there like Judas
[04:54.85] With the Hellcat in her REINED
[04:56.74] Time was running faster for disaster
[05:00.22] Exorcism, torture, gallows
[05:02.15] Now a shallow GRAVE
[05:05.10] A name was stuttered, Isaac
[05:07.97] Tongue-tied, simple, bastard
[05:10.10] They made the him pitdig
[05:10.72] Mindless of what it claimed !
[05:12.22] Mindless of what it claimed
