9.	Blood From Blood 04:52	lyrics	buy track
The sun goes down, the darkness ascends, The moon shinning right over town. Matilda yells, send the kids off to bed. The dog tags along..onto their rooms Henrietta locks her bedroom door, It's too bad the others didn't do the same Rest in Pieces. Unfortunate fate, soon about to unravel Prechorus: Sleep well, Dream on. In Mary's eye a fire's burning Drenched linen, shades drawn. This is how they die Chorus: Sheer terror as the blood flows Eternal horror before their last breath Lack of sorrow. The crimson corpse knows Immortalized. Demise of the house John wakes up, he hears a strange noise, tip toes down to the cellar Matilda kicked him, kicked him out of bed. Go see what is the matter John looks up the cellar stairs, he sees Mary standing in front of him. A swing of her arm, flying down the stairs, he gets an axe in his forehead. (Pre-Chorus) (Chorus) Eric, Sssssshhh. Mother and Father are sound asleep upstairs Why don't you come a little closer my brother for I have something to show you Down this hall, she comes, dragging a bloodied hatchet. Don't stumble, run. Getting real close, closer to them One by one, they fall, slashing the life out of them Pure Evil, it's done. Dripping down the axe. Blood from blood (Solo-Matt Johnsen) (Pre-Chorus) (Chorus) (Pre-Chorus)
10.	The Harrowing Path To Hollow 04:54	lyrics	buy track
Trip, fall and roll. Get up in the Hansom Cab Pulling Mary by her hair, look at you, dead end Stare Making sure there's no sharp objects, out of the line of sight In the end there's no salvation, better to taking flight Pre chorus: Through the night, Through the trees Galloping at top speed Drifitng on the long ride KK Fossor's waiting for us! Chorus: Many more deaths tomorrow Harrowing path to sorrow Many more souls to swallow The Harrowing path to hollow Stop, Look and Turn. Step down from the Hansom Cab Mary tries to strangle me, Get back on the road again With evey breath that draws from her mouth, tingle with so much fright Pulling up to the black gates, not a soul in sight (Pre chorus) (Chorus) KK: Oh I do hope Henrietta gets here in time. She has no idea what will happen if she fails. (Solo-Johansson) KK Fossor's waiting for us! (Chorus) KK: Will she survive?

Henrietta: KK, I have waited long enough and now my entire family is gone. KK: Let us bring her over to the altar and I shall prepare for the expulsion Henrietta: Do you think her life can be saved? She is all I have left in this world. KK: My dear, I will do everything within my power since Mary's soul depends on it (Miranda) Heart pounding, hand shaking, Don't draw the knife Wait and see if the chant resolves The Drastic and Tragic end is in sight. See the blood form in her eyes until they turn black As The rain is pouring, struggling has brought them to the ground, she's stalling, changes again. Up onto the Altar, It is Time! Thrusting body forward, thrashing head, not knowing what is coming from her, something insane? Bounded to the Altar, It is Time. This Time PRE-CHORUS: Banish demon with his spell, Hear the bell When the clock struck, clock struck twelve! Chorus: Just at the final moment, I hear her final plea How can you do this father? How could you hurt me? Just at the final moment, I hear her final plea How can you do this father? How could you hurt me? Read the passage, drawing out the demon, holding down onto her arms, Don't ever let go. Spread out on the altar, the bell chimes! The Crimson Corpse begins to fade in darkness. Mary breathes her last breath, closes her eyes. Lifeless on the altar, the bell chimes. It chimed (Pre-Chorus) (Chorus) How could you? Could you? Hurt me? Now we shall begin... Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus, omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio infernalis adversarii, omnis legio, omnis congregatio et secta diabolica.

It chimed (Pre-Chorus) (Chorus) Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus, omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio infernalis adversarii, omnis legio, omnis congregat Mary: Klaus...Elissa, Miranda and Abbey are all burning in hell.

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae
