''CIRCLE OF WITCHES''

The days getting short and nights getting colder

winter has come, the sun is too weak

The forcees of night are now growing stronger

Searching for souls for men blind with greed

Three witchees stand in a circle of evil

Tongues speaking words old and unknown

Call for a demon to serve in their dark spell

Fulfill what they owe to get what men own

I'll be king, I want the power, I will change my fate

Magic's on my side forever, so the witches say

Time is right to gane the throne, I'll take my brother down

I'll be king to rule the land, yes I'll take the crown

[Chorus:]

I've lost my soul

I've lost control

To the circle of witches

My life is black

There's no way back

From the circle of witches

Circle of witches

Circle of witches

Circle of witches - Never again

I look at myself, a mirror of darkness

My mind it is drowned, a dark flood of hate

I owe too much to the powers of evil

I know I'm damned, sealed is my fate

For the gloom of gold and glory, I have sold my soul

Blackened are the sunny days, the dark side takes control

Hell awaits as nightmares haunt me, demons in my head

Satan waits with patient joy, he'll greet me when I'm dead.
