| "Seven deadly sins, seven ways to win |
| Seven holy paths to hell and your trip begins |
| Seven downward slopes, seven bloodied hopes |
| Seven are your burning fires, seven your desires..." |
| I am he the boneless one, the fallen angel watching you |
| Babylon the scarlet whore, I'll infiltrate your gratitude |
| Don't you dare to save your son, kill him now and save the young ones |
| Be the mother of a birth strangled babe, be the devil's own Lucifer's my name |
| Moonchild - hear the mandrake scream |
| Moonchild - open the seventh seal |
| I count the heads of those unborn, the accursed ones I'll find them all |
| If you die by your own hand, as a suicide you shall be damned |
| And if you try to save your soul, i will torment you - you shall not grow old |
| With every second and passing breath, you'll be so alone your soul will bleed to death |
| Moonchild - hear the mandrake scream |
| Moonchild - open the seventh seal |
| Moonchild - you'll be mine soon child |
| Moonchild - take my hand tonight |
| The twins they are exhausted, seven in the night |
| Gemini is rising as the red lips kiss to bite |
| Seven angels seven demons battle for his soul |
| When Gabriel lies sleeping this child was born to die |
| One more dies one more lives, one baby cries one mother grieves |
| For all the sins you will commit, you'll beg forgiveness and none I'll give |
| A web of fear shall be your coat, to clothe you in the night |
| A lucky escape for you young man but I'll see you damned in endless night |
| Moonchild - hear the mandrake scream |
| Moonchild - open the seventh seal |
| Moonchild - you'll be mine soon child |
| Moonchild - take my hand tonight |

| Infinite dreams I can't deny them, infinity is hard to comprehend |
| I couldn't hear those screams, even in my wildest dreams |
| Suffocation waking in a sweat |
| Scared to fall asleep again, in case the dream begins again |
| Someone chasing I cannot move, standing rigid a nightmare's statue |
| What a dream when will it end, and will I transcend? |
| Restless sleep the minds in turmoil, one nightmare ends another fertile |
| Getting to me so scared to sleep, but scared to wake now in too deep |
| Even though its reached new heights, I rather like the restless nights |
| It makes me wonder it makes me think, there's more to this I'm on the brink |
| It's not the fear of what's beyond, It's just that I might not respond |
| I have an interest almost craving, but would I like to get too far in? |
| It can't all be coincidence, too many things are evident |
| You tell me you're an unbeliever, spiritualist? well me I'm neither |
| But wouldn't you like to know the truth |
| Of what's out there to have the proof |
| And find out just which side you're on |
| Where would you end in Heaven or in Hell? |
| Help me, help me to find my true self without seeing the future |
| Save me, save me from torturing myself even within my dreams |
| There's got to be just more to it than this, or tell me why do we exist |
| I'd like to think that when I die, I'd get a chance another time |
| And to return and live again, reincarnate play the game |
| Again and again and again |

(Smith/Dickinson/Harris) |
| Can I play with madness |
| Give me the sense to wonder, to wonder if I'm free |
| Give me a sense of wonder, to know I can be |
| Give me the strength to hold my head up, spit back in their face |
| Don't need no key to unlock the door, gonna break down the walls |
| Break out of this bad place |
| Can I play with madness - the prophet stared at his crystal ball |
| Can I play with madness - there's no vision there at all |
| Can I play with madness - the prophet looked and laughed at me |
| Can I play with madness - he said you're blind too blind to see |
| I screamed aloud to the old man, I said don't lie don't say you don't know |
| I say you'll pay for your mischief, in this world or the next |
| Oh and then he fixed me with a freezing glance, and the hell fires raged in his eyes |
| He said do you want to know the truth son - I'll tell you the truth |
| Your soul's gonna burn in the lake of fire |
| Can I play with madness - the prophet stared at his crystal ball |
| Can I play with madness - there's no vision there at all |
| Can I play with madness - the prophet looked at he laughed at me |
| Can I play with madness - he said you're blind too blind to see |
| Can I play with madness - the prophet stared at his crystal ball |
| Can I play with madness - there's no vision there at all |
| Can I play with madness - the prophet looked at he laughed at me |
| Can I play with madness - he said you're blind too blind to see |

| Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade |
| Slept in the dust with his daughter, her eyes red with the slaughter of innocence |
| But I will pray for her, I will call her name out loud |
| I would bleed for her, if I could see her now |
| Living on a razors edge |
| Balancing on a ledge |
| Living on a razors edge |
| Oh - balancing on a ledge |
| Oh - balancing on a ledge |
| Living on a razors edge |
| Balancing on a ledge |
| The evil that men do lives on and on |
| The evil that men do lives on and on |
| The evil that men do lives on and on |
| The evil that men do lives on and on |
| Circle of fire my baptism of joy at an end it seems |
| The seventh lamb slain the book of life opens before me |
| And I will pray for you, some day I may return |
| I would die for you, beyond is where I learn |
| Living on a razors edge |
| Balancing on a ledge |
| Living on a razors edge |
| The evil that men do lives on and on |
| The evil that men do lives on and on |
| The evil that men do lives on and on |
| The evil that men do lives on and on |
| Living on a razors edge |
| Balancing on a ledge |
| Living on a razors edge |
| The evil that men do lives on and on |
| The evil that men do lives on and on |
| The evil that men do lives on and on |
| The evil that men do lives on and on |
| The evil, the evil, the evil that men do |
| The evil, the evil, the evil that men do |

| Here they stand brothers them all, all the sons divided they'd fall |
| Here await the birth of the son, the seventh the heavenly the chosen one |
| Here the birth from an unbroken line, born the healer the seventh his time |
| Unknowingly blessed and as his life unfolds, slowly unveiling the power he holds |
| Seventh son of a seventh son |
| Seventh son of a seventh son |
| Seventh son of a seventh son |
| Seventh son of a seventh son |
| Seventh son of a seventh son |
| Seventh son of a seventh son |
| Seventh son of a seventh son |
| Seventh son of a seventh son |
| Then they watch the progress he makes, the Good and the Evil which path will he take |
| Both of them trying to manipulate, the use of his powers before it's too late |
| Seventh son of a seventh son |
| Seventh son of a seventh son |
| Seventh son of a seventh son |
| Seventh son of a seventh son |
| Seventh son of a seventh son |
| Seventh son of a seventh son |
| Seventh son of a seventh son |
| Seventh son of a seventh son |
| "Today is born the seventh one |
| Born of woman the seventh son |
| And he in turn of a seventh son |
| He has the power to heal |
| He has the gift of the second sight |
| He is the chosen one |
| So it shall be written |
| So it shall be done" |

(Murray/Harris) |
| Now that I know that the right time has come, my prediction will surely be true |
| The impending disaster it looms, and the whole of the village is doomed |
| Why won't you listen to me, is it so hard to understand |
| That I am the real seventh son, your life or death on me depends |
| Suffering and pain impending disaster, souls crying the devil's laughter |
| Heard the cry of the seven whistlers, Lucifer smiles looks on and waits |
| I'll take your life in my hands |
| Your fate your fortune's in my visions |
| Heed what I say and you'll see what, what will be |
| Please listen to me |
| Now that they see the disaster is done, no they put all the blame unto me |
| They feel I brought on a curse, don't they know the torment |
| It stays with me knowing that I walk alone, through the eyes of the future I see |
| They don't even know what fear is, don't they know I'm the one who is cursed |
| Purgatory beckons souls lost forever, life after death or heaven hereafter |
| Heard the call of the seventh whistlers again, now Lucifer laughs hell awaits |
| I had their lives in my hands |
| Their fate their fortunes in my visions |
| No one believed in my true prophecy |
| And now it's too late |
|
(Harris) |
| Feel the sweat break on my brow |
| Is it me or is it shadows that are dancing on the walls |
| Is this a dream or is it mow |
| Is this a vision or normality I see before my eyes |
| I wonder why I wonder how |
| That it seems the powers getting stronger every day |
| I feel a strength an inner fire |
| But I'm scared I won't be able to control it anymore |
| There's a time to live and a time to die |
| When it's time to meet the maker |
| There's a time to live but isn't strange |
| That as soon as you're born you're dying |
| There's a time to live and there's a time to die |
| When it's time to meet the maker |
| There's a time to live but isn't it strange |
| That as soon as you're born you're dying |
| Just by looking through your eyes |
| He could see the future penetrating right in through your mind |
| See the truth and see your lies |
| But for all his power couldn't foresee his own demise |
| There's a time to live and a time to die |
| When it's time to meet the maker |
| There's a time to live but isn't it strange |
| That as soon as you're born you're dying |
| There's a time to live and a time to die |
| When it's time to meet the maker |
| There's a time to live but isn't it strange |
| That as soon as you're born you're dying... |
| ...and reborn again |
|
(Harris/Dickinson) |
| The demon in your mind will rape you in your bed at night |
| The wisdom of ages, the lies and outrages concealed |
| Time it waits for no man, my future is revealed |
| Time it waits for no man, my fate is sealed |
| If I cancel tomorrow the undead will thank me today |
| Fly in the face of your prophets I mock your morality plays |
| The moon is red and bleeding, the sun is burned and black |
| The book of life is silent, no turning back |
| Only the good die young - all the evil seem to live forever |
| Only the good die young - all the evil seem to live forever |
| Only the good die young |
| Only the good die young |
| Mystery madman a victim of cruel charade |
| Some innocent pawn in an end game one more stalemate |
| Is death another birthday, a way to kiss your dreams goodbye |
| Do the undead live within us, and look through our eyes |
| Walking on water are miracles all you can trust |
| Measure your coffin does it measure up to your lust |
| So I think I'll leave you, with your bishops and your guilt |
| So until the next time, have a good sin |
| Only the good die young - all the evil seem to live forever |
| Only the good die young - all the evil seem to live forever |
| Only the good die young |
| Only the good die young |
| "Seven deadly sins, seven ways to win |
| Seven holy paths to hell... |
| Seven downward slopes, seven bloodied hopes |
| Seven are your burning fires, seven your desires..." |
