Volbeat - Seal the Deal & Let's Boogie Lyrics
The Devils Bleeding Crown
Falling from the sky, they're cast out from the heaven's light
Drenching the soil with blood, baptized in the fire hole
The Devil's spawn no longer breathes
Descending angels and fallen kings
Raise your hands, what do you hold?
The Devil's bleeding crown!
Call upon it's Father, bless the goat, the womanizer
Take him to Astaroth, Inanna's temple of Uruk
The Devil's spawn no longer breathes
Descending angels and fallen kings
Raise your hands, what do you hold?
The Devil's bleeding crown!
They gathered all the children outside the church
And never would they know what went on in there
Close the door and hear all the angels scream
"Oh mercy, mercy, mercy, oh mercy, please!"
Down, down, down
Down below you can hear his hoof digging through the ground
Oh Lord, Lord, Lord
The horned one is back and he wants his crown
The Devil's spawn no longer breathes
Descending angels and fallen kings
Raise your hands, what do you hold?
The Devil's bleeding crown!

Marie Laveau
Dear Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau
I'm on my knees, I'm beggin' you
Awake the fallen one in me
Thy power above all I hail
The white rom on your grave I brought
Together with cigars and gold
I'll find you at the river's end
As the followers enter your realm
Sing, voodoo Marie, let me hear thy tone
Speak, voodoo Marie, let me hear thy tongue
Queen of New Orleans
Mother of the coven
Sing, voodoo Marie
You've been called out again
Concerned about the soul I hold
In my heart I know he's stubborn too
Awake the fallen father please
Thy power above all I hail
Sing, voodoo Marie, let me hear thy tone
Speak, voodoo Marie, let me hear thy tongue
Queen of New Orleans
Mother of the coven
Sing, voodoo Marie
You've been called out again
How silent is the lonely one?
What do we see, what do we know?
Marie Laveau, I'm full of hope
Let me speak until forever more

For Evigt
Memory, your lamp light is burning holes
Recover the damage, bring it all home
Follow the bliss just like summer song
Please stay there forever, I'll try to remember
Come home
Memory, you gave me another note
A voice that is endless, bring it all home
Oh what it is feels like a summer song
I'll stay here forever, her face I remember
For evigt, måske for evigt
Skal vi sammen, samme vej
Og når I morgen får øjne, og natten hviler sig
Skal vi for evigt måske samme vej
Happiness, I'm sorry you've been on hold
The doors will be open, bring it all home
'Cause what it is, feels like a summer song
I'll stay here forever now that I remember
For evigt, måske for evigt
Skal vi sammen, samme vej
Og når I morgen får øjne, og natten hviler sig
Skal vi for evigt måske samme vej
(Oh oh oh oh)
For all these symbols don't open our eyes
We'll close them instead, leave the messenger behind
But one day we will know
For evigt, måske for evigt
Skal vi sammen, samme vej
Og når I morgen får øjne, og natten hviler sig
Skal vi for evigt måske for evigt
For evigt, måske for evigt
Skal vi sammen, samme vej
Og når I morgen får øjne, og natten hviler sig
Skal vi for evigt måske samme vej
Skal vi for evigt måske samme vej
Skal vi for evigt måske samme vej

The Gates Of Babylon
Awakening a goddess in the dark
On a stake she's been hanging like a doll
Tried to reach for the underworld
Had to pass through the seven gates of hell
Naked, lost, and deprived of all
All the power that she had lost
Dear ancient god, reveal your home
At the gates of Babylon
Dear ancient one, I see your home
At the gates of Babylon
Sent by Lord Enki to find, the goddess Ishtar, and bring her back to life
The tale of death and rebirth will become,
the walls of kings and the goddess that she was
Naked, lost and deprived of all
All the power that she had lost
Dear ancient god, reveal your home
At the gates of Babylon
Dear ancient one, I see your home
At the gates of Babylon
(Ishtar to Erishkigal)
Dear sister what have I done to deserve thy anger?
I passed through the seven gates, now all I had is yours
The underworld that you rule, I became a victim of
the messenger from another time has brought me home
Dear ancient god, reveal your home
At the gates of Babylon
Dear ancient one, I see your home
At the gates of Babylon
Dear ancient god, reveal your home
At the gates of Babylon
Dear ancient one, I see your home
At the gates of Babylon
Dear ancient God release your soul,
at the gates of Babylon
Dear ancient one, I see your home
At the gates of Babylon

Let It Burn
Tell the lonely where to go
Kill the inside and let it burn
He's not the only without hope
Kill the inside and let it burn
The fire may not open,
but the Devil will return
Insanity or glory,
in a mind that never learns
A moment of something
where the dark can reverse
Tell the lonely where to go
Kill the inside and let it burn
He's not the only without hope
Kill the inside and let it burn
The empty eyes are falling down
the path of no return
In blindness he wanders,
if his mind will ever learn
A moment of something
where the dark can reverse
Tell the lonely where to go
Kill the inside and let it burn
He's not the only without hope
Kill the inside and let it burn
Tell the lonely where to go
Kill the inside and let it burn
He's not the only without hope
Kill the inside and let it burn

Black Rose
Counting days 'til it's over, my friends
'Til it's over, my friends, count along
Counting days 'til it's over, my friends
'Til it's over, my friends, count along
Feeling rich, feeling poor, feeling nothing more
Self destructive on a rollercoaster fireball
Cut her tongue, don't believe a word she says
She's on a hunt, cooking cooking cooking misery
Left my heart on the shelf for way too long
Sick and tired, picking up from the dirty floor
I saw the line of snakes that came to me
So innocent were the days
The taste of good memories
A bag full of hope that was only for me and you
No more broken dreams I feel like a loaded gun
Spitting bullets at your armor of mind control
Cut her tongue, don't believe a word she says
She's on a hunt, cooking cooking cooking misery
Cannot think, cannot talk, cannot do it right
Can't call the doctor, he's as sick as you and I
I saw the line of snakes that came to me
So innocent were the days
The taste of good memories
A bag full of hope that was only for me and you oh oh oh
So innocent were the days
The taste of good memories
A bag full of hope that was only for me and you oh oh oh
Counting days 'til it's over, my friends
'Til it's over, my friends, count along
Counting days 'til it's over, my friends
'Til it's over, my friends count along
Counting days 'til it's over, my friends
'Til it's over, my friends, count along
Counting days 'til it's over, my friends
'Til it's over that thing called love
So innocent were the days, the taste of good memories
A bag full of hope that was only for me and you
So innocent were the days, the taste of good memories
A bag full of hope that was only for me and you
(Oh oh oh oh)
Please let it grow, where it belongs
There in the dark where the shadows are born
Leave it alone
I'm sure it will find its way to redeem and blossom
'Cause I know, the black rose will find its home

Rebound
It's a shame that you don't know me 'cause I never made it past the third string
My coach never gave me a chance he's always blowing his whistle at me
Put me in your game and I promise not to shoot a three I'll stick with twos
I don't wanna make a steal unless you make a pass I'll never personal foul you
Did you have to give your boyfriend all my letters
I didn't know he was six foot eight
He shoved me inside a locker and I ended up on the rebound
I called time out it was too late
One, two, three, four
It's a shame that you don't know me 'cause I never made it past the third string, no no
My coach never gave me a chance he's always blowing his whistle at me
Put me in your game and I promise not to shoot a three I'll stick with twos
I don't wanna make a steal unless you make a pass I'll never personal foul you
Did you have to give your boyfriend all my letters
I didn't know he was six foot eight
He shoved me inside a locker and I ended up on the rebound
I called time out it was too late
I called time out it was too late
I called time out it was too late

Mary Jane Kelly
Oh hear Mary Jane Kelly
So sad and singing sadly
A violet plucked from Mother's grave
Ex-soldier Thomas Bowyer found you in the gutter
The sound of you will be no more
Whatever you had said or ever done
Won't justify the pain that you went through
We all have different destinies in life
Your light was taken by the killing knife
She's been lonely and forgotten ever since
But her beauty in the night light will remain
She's been lonely and forgotten ever since
But her beauty in the night light will remain
Yeah will remain, dear Mary Jane
Please, Mary, wake up, let your spirit rise
Who was the "gentleman" you had that night
His "Letter from Hell" didn't say a thing
Still looking in the dark, but nothing's there
She's been lonely and forgotten ever since
But her beauty in the night light will remain
She's been lonely and forgotten ever since
But her beauty in the night light will remain
Yeah will remain, dear Mary Jane
The nemesis is neglect
Running on the wolves' path
Try to get the bloody facts
Where do all the angels wait?
Let it be, yeah maybe just let it be
A violet plucked from Mother's grave
Do the singing do the dance
Show me where's the evidence
Where do all the victims lay?
Or let it be, yeah maybe just let it be
She's been lonely and forgotten ever since
But her beauty in the night light will remain
She's been lonely and forgotten ever since
But her beauty in the night light will remain
Yeah will remain, dear Mary Jane

Goodbye Forever
Did you say the thing you wanted?
Have you ever felt in love?
A moment where no problems would ever get you down
Free as an eagle but only for a day (yeah listen)
The final is a warning, wake up before you go
There'll be no second chances, that day you're on your own
Let out the feelings, tomorrow may not come
All alone in the dark, move the curtains for once
See the light life has brought, or goodbye forever
Take the arms that embrace, no more being afraid
Feel the sun on your face, or goodbye forever
Were you listening to the evening?
Have you ever felt the dawn?
When everything around you told stories from the world
Dear mother nature speaks louder than you know
(Oh listen)
The final is a warning, wake up before you go
There'll be no second chances, that day you're on your own
Let out the feelings tomorrow may not come
All alone in the dark, move the curtains for once
See the light life has brought, or goodbye forever
Take the arms that embrace, no more being afraid
Feel the sun on your face, or goodbye forever
We are the birth
We are the end
We are the souls
We have a name
We are the rising and fallen ones
We are the spirit forever more
We are the birth
We are the end
We are the souls
We have a name
We are the rising and fallen ones
We are the spirit forever more
All alone in the dark, move the curtains for once
See the light life has brought, or goodbye forever
Take the arms that embrace, no more being afraid
Feel the sun on your face, or goodbye forever
All alone in the dark, move the curtains for once
See the light life has brought, or goodbye forever
Take the arms that embrace, no more being afraid
Feel the sun on your face, or goodbye forever

Seal The Deal
Sold my soul and singed my name in blood
Stole it back now praying in the dark
Fooled the devil
Begging for a fight
Count the dollars make your bet tonight
Feel strong like an oiled machine
All the anger boils within
Move it
Give it
The high rollers are in
I get groovy
now turn it on and fight
Seal the deal and let's boogie for a while
Let's get groovy
Burning out with rage
Seal the deal and let's do it all again
Knuckles crushed
My eyes no longer see
I paid the price and fed the family
Feel strong like an oiled machine
All the anger boils within
Move it
Give it
The high rollers are in
I get groovy
now turn it on and fight
Seal the deal and let's boogie for a while
Let's get groovy
Burning out with rage
Seal the deal and let's do it all again
Sing hallelujah
The devil in disguise
There'll be no more pearly gates
So stand up for yourself this time
Fight for honor let no one drag you down no more
Be your own man with blood sweat tears you fall
I get groovy
now turn it on and fight
Seal the deal and let's boogie for a while
Let's get groovy
Burning out with rage
Seal the deal and let's do it all again
I get groovy
now turn it on and fight
Seal the deal and let's boogie for a while
Let's get groovy
Burning out with rage
Seal the deal and let's do it all again

Battleship Chains
You got me tied down with battleship chains
Fifty foot long and a two ton anchor
Tied down with battleship chains
Fifty foot long with a two ton anchor
[Chorus:]
I can't move my arms
To hold nobody
Hold nobody but you
I can't move my legs
To chase nobody
To kick nobody but you
You got me tied down with battleship chains
Fifty foot long and a two ton anchor
Tied down with battleship chains
Fifty foot long and a two ton anchor
[Chorus]
You got me tied down with battleship chains
Fifty foot long and a two ton anchor
Tied down with battleship chains
Fifty foot long and a two ton anchor
[Chorus]
You got me tied down with battleship chains
Fifty foot long and a two ton anchor
Tied down with battleship chains
Fifty foot long and a two ton anchor
You got me tied, tied
Whoo hoo, tied tied
Don't you know you got me
Tied tied, whoo hoo
Baby don't you know you got me
Tied tied, whoo hoo

You Will Know
Walk these lonely streets without a home
Dear Mary, where's the kids
When did they leave?
Where did they go?
Feel the morning breeze, after all these years
Been so far away, in a prison cell
I no longer wanna feel the darkness in my soul
Forever, forever you will know
Forever and ever, what you will know
Here I sit again, lost at your place
I brought the flowers
That I know you like
For you my dear
All the memories, after all these years
Couldn't find a way, never been the same
I no longer wanna feel the darkness in my soul
Forever, forever you will know
Forever and ever, what you will know
Forever, forever you will know
Forever and ever, what you will know
I'll find the peace alongside the road
And make believe there's a sign for us all
The innocence, that I know I behold
Will set my spirit free, so long
Forever, forever you will know
Forever and ever, what you will know
Forever, forever you will know
Forever and ever what you will know, that I love you

The Loas Crossroad
Breathing, breathing the air from the dead
The stench of his soil
The sound of him walking his cane
A grey white face painted in a shape of a skull
A shadowy Loa, with red eyes, so cold in the dark
A grey white face painted in a shape of a skull
A shadowy Loa, with red eyes, so cold in the dark
[Papa Legba:]
You are my call of the day
Praying to open the gate
You've been fooled by Marie
For years we been sealing the deal
You, for immortality
Hear me, hear me Baron Samedi
Get me away from this Loa
I'm down on my knees
A grey white face painted in a shape of a skull
A shadowy Loa, with red eyes, so cold in the dark
A grey white face painted in a shape of a skull
A shadowy Loa, with red eyes, so cold in the dark
[Papa Legba:]
You are my call of the day
Praying to open the gate
You've been fooled by Marie
For years we've been sealing the deal
Now you called the Baron of Death
The crossroad of Loa's will end
We'll be fighting for what you can't see
Marie's Immortality
You, for immortality
