CULT OF THE HEADLESS WITCH 'Ghost of the headless witch' Music: COTHW, lyrics: Jimmy Holmberg. Accused of witchcraft, she was sentenced to immediate death. Forced down on her knees, her hands tied behind her back. As the crowd heard her final pleads, the steel cut through her neck. But I will avenge, I will stand tall, I’ll get my revenge, as I kill you all. I will avenge, I will stand tall, I’ll get my revenge, ‘cause I will kill you all. They unleashed a beast, when they sent her to the afterlife. They would all soon death meet, those who killed the king’s old wife. ‘Cause I will avenge, I will stand tall, I’ll get my revenge, as I kill you all. I will avenge, I will stand tall, I’ll get my revenge, ‘cause I will kill you all. I will crush your churchly crosses. I’ll tear your holy books apart. I will burn your sacred houses. I’ll rip out your evil hearts. My lord, my king, how could you let them blind your mind? My lord, my king, when was I ever nothing but the good queen by your side? My lord, my king, I cannot recognize the hatred in your eyes. My lord, my king, a king should be able to sort out evil lies. Headless across the lands, she haunted her every bane. The fields turned into graves, as each and everyone lay slain. The living dead headless witch queen was doomed by the gods of authority, to wander the Earth until the end of times, for killing holy men of the church divine. No rest allowed for a soul of her kind, so still, she walks with revenge in mind, searching for the heirs of her banes, even more filled with vengeful rage.

CULT OF THE HEADLESS WITCH 'Master your fate' Music: COTHW, lyrics: Jimmy Holmberg Is he awake or is he dead? Is it too late to get out of bed? Which path to take, what’s in his head? Wipe your tears and open your eyes. Face your fears or say your last goodbye. Scarred by life, dark thoughts dwell. Blackened mind in his private Hell. But now is the time to break the spell. Wipe your tears and open your eyes. Face your fears or say your last goodbye. No need to wait or hesitate. Master your fate. Wipe your tears and open your eyes. Face your fears or say your last goodbye. No need to wait or hesitate. Master your fate. Make up a fire or dig your own grave. Spread them and fly. Master your fate.

En ny tid 07:18
CULT OF THE HEADLESS WITCH 'En ny tid' Music: COTHW, lyrics: Jimmy Holmberg Mången art jag har givit liv i mina dar. Mången fallit har, blivit del av mitt skal. Ingen annan har jag velat tippa över min kant, så som den som var satt att råda över allt. Ändå tror du att du går fri, du människa, som har gett mej djupa sår, å nej, du själviska. Det kommer en tid utan mänskligt liv, då lugnet åter gjutit frid till min förlorade harmoni. Det kommer en tid, då lugnet tar vid. Det kommer en tid. Ni ska få känna mina tårar, mitt tålamod nu sinar. Er besinningslösa framfart har gjort mej märkt för evigheten. Jag ska vända mina floder, jag ska smälta mina isar. Genom skalv och vulkaner ska jag förgöra era städer. Jag ska blåsa mina öknar, dom ska dränka era kroppar. Moder Jord kommer inte låta er gå länge till ostraffade. Nu är hög tid att agera, vägrar tolerera mera. Ingen frågade mej om jag ville ha er här. Men snart kommer en tid utan mänskligt liv, då lugnet åter gjutit frid till min förlorade harmoni. Det kommer en tid, då lugnet tar vid. Det kommer en tid. Varenda en av er ska jag hitta, för er finns inget hopp. När jag har skakat av mej dom sista av er från min kropp. Då ska jag lugna mitt vatten, jag ska tysta mina berg, jag ska samla mina krafter, ta tillbaks allt mitt igen. Era rop på hjälp kommer skalla, när jag drar ner er i mina djup. Jag kommer överleva er alla, er tid här är snart slut. Sen ska jag lugna mitt vatten, jag ska tysta mina berg, jag ska samla mina krafter, ta tillbaks allt mitt. För det kommer en tid utan mänskligt liv, då lugnet åter gjutit frid till min förlorade harmoni. Det kommer en tid, då lugnet tar vid. Det kommer en ny tid.

CULT OF THE HEADLESS WITCH 'The fallen ones' Music: COTHW, lyrics: Jimmy Holmberg Ordered to leave our homes behind at once. Ordered to fall in line, not to bring anything. Ordered to silence, except for our guns. Ordered to swear the oath to our mighty king. We were boys who’d never see again our homes nor families. On and on and on we marched. On and on through living Hell. On and on we marched. One by one fell behind. Orders came to move on ahead. One by one our brothers died. Ordered to leave the dead behind at sight. Ordered to walk in line, by fear we were led. Ordered to get in mood, get ready to fight. Ordered to paint the enemy land blood red. We were forced to live with no rights, we were born to kill and die. On and on and on we fought. On and on through living Hell. On and on we fought. We killed to stay alive, though we knew we’d soon be dead. We killed to survive. Unwillingly we were forced out to war, all for one, but none for all. We were ambushed, then sold out, as our king abandoned us now, sacrificed us for his golden crown. In the end, we died in vain for this coward king’s terror reign came to fame by shame.
