Lyrics

At last you enter the Electric Castle Here, in this vast hall, where even shadows fear the light Here, you must confront your past If you have killed, beware the Gathering of Spirits For they do fish for men Here, the disembodied Astral World becomes flesh once more I pity the men of swords for here, blood runs cold Cries from the grave resound in my ears They hail from beyond my darkest fears Faces of the past are etched in my brain The women I raped, the men I've slain! Shades of the dead are sliding on the wall Demons dance in the castle hall I call upon the sword, the mighty Excalibur Grant me the skill to fulfill my quest! I call upon my king, the knights of the table round Grant me the courage to stand to this test! I call upon the seer, Merlin the sorcerer Grant me the magic to end my pain! I call upon the spirit that lives in the noble heart Grant the passion that will fill my veins Shades of the dead are sliding on the wall! Demons dance in the castle hall Cries from the grave resound in my ears They hail from beyond my darkest fears I call upon the seer, Merlin the sorcerer (Faces of the past are etched in my brain) Grant me the magic to end my pain! I call upon the spirit that lives in the noble heart (The women I raped, the men I've slained!) Grant the passion that will fill my veins Shades of the dead are sliding on the wall! Demons dance in the castle hall
