Lowlifes. Shameless filthy wretches. How you celebrate her ascension with such joy… Hailing the very one whom we have condemned for generations. Have we no shame? What happened to the evil, ruthless sorceress from our fantasies? The cold-blooded tyrant that slaughtered countless men and destroyed many nations? A new era has just begun, this is reality. This is only the beginning. Let her start a new reign of terror. Where is she now? She stands before our very eyes to become our new ruler. Sit back and enjoy the show and rest assured, you fools. Our time will come. She will let us live a fantasy beyond your imagination. A new era has just begun, this is reality. No one can help us... the witch needs a ritual... No one can help us... the witch needs a sacrifice... She'll use merciless spells to burn green fields and freeze our sweet warm hometowns. Fools! The witch is coming. She shall dance through all of eternity. Fools! The witch is coming. Eternal be she and the fantasy. Do you breathe sighs of relief, now, as the fearsome witch is on our side? Which of us is the one that dreams, now, fantasy upon fantasy? Fools! The witch is coming. She shall dance through all of eternity. Fools! The witch is coming. Eternal be she and the fantasy. Run into our fantasies... In their fevered world shall she dance for us. Run into our fantasies... 'Cause life and death, in them... are but an exquisite dream. She'll dance through all eternity.

I saw a woman sit upon a beast, Full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads. The woman was arrayed in purple Decked with gold and precious pearls Upon her forehead there was a name The beast that thou sawest was, and is not. Mistery, Babylon the great The mother of harlots and abominations Mistery, Babylon the great she is that great city which reign over kings of the earth. I saw the woman drunken with the blood With the blood of the martyrs... martyrs of the Christ Having a golden cup in her hand Full of abominations and filthiness Upon her forehead there were names And whose were not written in book of life

God called to the man: "Where are you?" He was walking in the garden in the cool of the day When the man and his wife heard him They got scared And they hid among the trees of the garden. (GOD) "Where are you?" (Adam) I heard you in the garden, And I was afraid because I was naked; so I hide. (God) Who told you... you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree That I commanded you not to eat from? (Adam) The woman gave me some fruit from the tree (Eva) The serpent deceived me, and I ate. (God) Snakes of paradise, I want you to know Wherever you hide, wherever you run away I will give chase always breathing down your neck Owe me the innocence of my creation (Snake) I was innocent, my only will was to survive But something break down on me I saw my actions and where they was carrying me (God) “Cursed are you above all livestock you will eat dust all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, she will crush your head, and you will strike her heel. (Satan) I was the best of angels, but for God not enough How can the Lord prefered a woman and a man? He have had to suffer and vengence will be mine I will hit the love of God, his most precious thing The snake was so perfect to implement the plan And with my power I hacked its will Snakes of paradise, I want you to know wherever you are, wherever you bite the dust You will forever have my gratitude my evil plan now is done thank you snake!

It's dark. I walk, but I can't move. I open my eyes, but I can't see... (I) get out from my bed and I see that I can move It was a dream there's only a light in the open space of the advertising agency A man was working late at night but now it's time for him to back home There's something's moving Dancing shadows on a wall scare that man A door is closing... There is nobody in the hall and that man is running in fear, A blow hits him on the head and he falls in total dark, that kind of dark that will not become light On my purple copybook I can read something How is it possibile? I can't remember I read but I can't believe to those words... My thoughts and my dreams are no longer mine: I'm theirs. I feel trapped in them, captured by a will I cannot control I am like a spectator of a running train through anonymous lands that I cannot see Dark... there's no light, only dark An ancient rage grows into me: The kills I see are connecting me, Every day and every night, To play a role which is not mine, To things I don't want to know

This is all we know about the events of last summer We have filmed what we could: The party was amazing, there were food and pretty girls, We were having fun until a sudden noise distracted us A car hit a light pole but there was none on board We noticed the whole* neighborhood was in darkness A scream shaked the air: it was the old Jones' voice The rocking chair yet moves... but there no sign* of him Every time we turned the gaze someone disappeared We were surrounded by an invisible threat "Help me! help! all lights are gone Out there is something... something in the dark!" There was no signal, the tv showed just noise There was no way to contact the outer world The moon was not visible and there were no clouds in the sky The stars were disappearing like someone(body) was stealing them The dark was so deep that we could touch it with our hands And from the dark was coming that force: there was no way out But when we got up the look, understood the reason why... The creatures from outer space were* building a dark dome Run to the power plant! and release the prisoners But that was not enough, the creatures were all around us! When all seemed to be lost The creatures fell into the trap And the dome crushed And we were free under the sun
