[00:20.37] At the very start
[00:22.26] There were whispers in the dark
[00:24.78] And for all the world to see
[00:27.30] There was witchcraft at its heart
[00:30.16] And on the autumn air
[00:32.06] The scent of bonfires everywhere
[00:34.88] And a fell wind stirred the leaves...
[00:38.35] The persecution song
[00:40.59]
[00:41.82] Telltale signs of possession
[00:45.09] Little Miss Demeanour in the demons bed
[00:50.60] Gasps she just could not suppress
[00:53.18] After lights-out midst the dead
[00:56.03] And a past on which sin cast its darts of wickedness
[01:00.59]
[01:02.01] Time was running faster for disaster
[01:07.31] Strange nights were burning
[01:09.02] In the furnace of her dreams
[01:12.47] A name was uttered, Lilith
[01:15.27] Mistress, Playmate, Master
[01:17.54] Such sights were stolen in the throes of ecstasy !
[01:22.29]
[01:31.93] And in the thick of all
[01:34.29] In the Black Goddess's thrall
[01:36.77] With the wood unseen for trees
[01:39.72] Victoria stood tall
[01:42.38] Promiscuous in step
[01:44.23] The Devil breathing down her neck
[01:46.60] As jealous zealots stitched apiece...
[01:50.36] The persecution song
[01:52.53]
[01:53.91] Telltale signs of possession
[01:57.10] Fickle Miss Demeanour hissed and disappeared
[02:02.52] To her Sisters of the cloth
[02:05.16] She now reeked of Astaroth
[02:07.51] Again the curse had surfaced
[02:09.99] Sneaking back the pagan YEARS
[02:12.83]
[02:14.73] Weaving webs of great revealing
[02:18.41] Hidden in the convent
[02:20.43] An evil libido abided, undone
[02:23.53] Breathing, deceiving
[02:25.48] Feasting on her deviant feelings
[02:28.27] She'd clung to her crucifix
[02:30.20] Once her torturers begun
[02:33.20]
[02:43.46] Her screams came quick
[02:45.64] The miserichord
[02:46.68] Den to vice and screw
[02:48.40] That had reddened many tongues
[02:50.34] Wrung symphonies
[02:51.76] Of suffering from her
[02:53.44]
[03:08.25] AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !
[03:12.91]
[03:13.43] Many moons hardened pure hearts
[03:16.25] Those plagued by her black arts
[03:18.34] Their rooms secreting phantom orgies
[03:21.25] Vile rites and rifled graves
[03:23.19]
[03:23.74] Mere hours, now towered
[03:26.18] Above this bent and beaten flower
[03:28.90] Her naked body privy to
[03:32.08] The Abbess and her WAYS
[03:37.37]
[03:43.45] Victoria fought
[03:44.79] No guilt was wrought
[03:46.03] Just a torrid retort of blasphemies
[03:48.80] Nails and crosses vomited forth
[03:51.04] From this pretty little whore now arched like Hell
[03:56.68]
[03:58.41] Arched like Hell
[04:00.13]
[04:14.00] At the very start
[04:16.02] There were whispers in the dark
[04:18.48] And for all the world to see
[04:20.97] There was witchcraft at its heart
[04:23.87] But then the end grew nigh
[04:26.05] A dirge inferno filled the sky
[04:28.57] In its customary key...
[04:31.98] The persecution song
[04:34.26]
[04:35.51] Telltale signs of obsession
[04:38.74] No wailing banshee would dishonour their name
[04:44.24] Nuns dragged her to the blasted oak
[04:46.86] Storm-clouds threatened holy smoke
[04:49.07] They hanged her there like Judas
[04:51.62] With the Hellcat in her REINED
[04:53.82]
[04:54.42] Time was running faster for disaster
[04:59.41] Exorcism, torture, gallows
[05:02.08] Now a shallow GRAVE
[05:04.88] A name was stuttered, Isaac
[05:07.69] Tongue-tied, simple, bastard
[05:09.94] They made him dig the pit
[05:11.78] Mindless of what it claimed !
[05:14.66]
[05:18.23] Mindless of what it claimed
[05:22.90]
