Volbeat - Servant of the Mind Lyrics






Temple Of Ekur

The Temple of Ekur unites Heaven and Earth
Durangi Mountain House, the garden of the gods
Sumerian God of air or known as Enlil
Powerful is the son, of Father Enkur
So divine

Fear, lead me to the vault
It's been said that Heaven knows I'm lost
Help me to see the bleeding upon the walls
And forever damned into the metaphors
Egyptious
Egyptious

Terrifying words in the dungeon of Nungal
Queen of the abyss calls the sinner's end
Goddess of Ekur and the underworld
Worshiped by the sons and Babylonians
So divine

Fear, lead me to the vault
It's been said that Heaven knows I'm lost
Help me to see the bleeding upon the walls
And forever damned into the metaphors
Egyptious
Egyptious

Celebrating all the offerings in gold
And pray for all of fallen
A priest in highest form
Speaks with Devil tongues
Concealed from sunrise to sunset

Fear, lead me to the vault
It's been said that Heaven knows I'm lost
Help me to see the bleeding upon the walls
And forever damned into the metaphors
Egyptious
Egyptious
Egyptious
Ah

Wait A Minute My Girl

Wait a minute my girl
Wait a minute my lover
Summer's up and I want you to know
That I won't live a minute without ya

I've been waiting for a while
I always had you on my mind
Now you're here in flesh and bones
My heart beats so, it's scaring me to death but I can't

Wait a minute my girl
Wait a minute my lover
Summer's up and I want you to know
That I won't live a minute without ya
(Woo)

Wait a minute my girl
Wait a minute my lover
Summer's up and I want you to know
That I won't live a minute without ya

There's a light and it's right there in front of me
And a voice that whispers family
Don't ignore the signs
The symbols that are here
You might find the reason why you're here

I've been waiting for a while
I always had you on my mind
Now you're here in flesh and bones
My heart beats so, it's scaring me to death but I can't

Wait a minute my girl
Yeah, wait a minute my lover
Summer's up and I want you to know
That I won't live a minute without ya
Try to say the right thing
My heart is beating like thunder
So wait a minute my
Wait a minute my
Wait a minute my
Wait a minute my
Wait a minute my
Wait a minute my
Wait a minute my girl

The Sacred Stones

Give me a sign
Dear father of darkness
In the light I'm no good
I'm dying to assemble the darlings
My faith in God is so low

Bring the fuel
And light up the crosses of stones
And behold the, the maker
The power he holds

Light the fire
Dear father of darkness
The wings of death will unfold
I'm dying to asunder the darlings
My faith in God is so cold

Bring the fuel
And light up the crosses of stones
And behold the, the maker
The power he holds

It's the Devil that breathes within your heart
It's the father of the stones
A spirit of evil, a taker of souls
The power that he holds
Is the power of the sacred stones

Give me a sign
Dear father of darkness
In the light I'm no good
I'm dying to asunder the darlings
My faith in God is so low

Bring the fuel
And light up the crosses of stones
And behold the, the maker
The power he holds

It's the Devil that breathes within your heart
It's the father of the stones
A spirit of evil, a taker of souls
The darlings of Heaven will all turn into stones
And taken to Hell and dumped into a black hole
The power that he holds
Is the power of the sacred stones

Shotgun Blues

Living in darkness, became a burden in daylight
Carrying the souls of the dead and feeding them with life
Stop wearing me out, I present you the gate
I'm passing you over and leave you with faith

You're living a second life that don't belong to you
Step out of my body, I believe you like it too
Stop wearing me out, I present you the gate
I'm passing you over and leave you with faith

You're now leaving
I couldn't rule with you
One minute to sing the shotgun blues
How you feeling?
Do you love it too?
One minute to sing the shotgun blues

Thirty-two years have gone, you're now on the other side
Leaving with good energy, a blessing in disguise
Stop wearing me out, I present you the gate
I'm passing you over and leave you with faith

You're now leaving
I couldn't rule with you
One minute to sing the shotgun blues
How you feeling?
Do you love it too?
One minute to sing the shotgun blues

Ugh

You're now leaving
I couldn't rule with you
One minute to sing the shotgun blues
How you feeling?
Do you love it too?
One minute to sing the shotgun blues

The Devil Rages On

Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up
Don't let 'em roast you like a fly
Don't let 'em crush you like a flea
I never saw you like a fly
Goddamn, now get up on your feet

Now hold it, fellas, it doesn't move me
Let's get real, real goin' for a change

Help me, Father Beelzebub in Hell
All seven will fall
A kingdom will come
Oh, the ancient prince of the devils
And the leader of the lords
lord of the flies
Now walks in disguise
We'll now be united

Babylon, Beelzebub
Sweet is the calleth of him
Hell has decided
I'm more than delighted
Woah
Heaven, build the castle of sin
Hell has decided
I'm more than delighted
Woah
And the Devil rages on

We walk among you, human form and ties
Ready to strike
Just wait for the sign
Well, the ancient prince of the devils
And the leader of the lords
Lords of the flies
Now walks in disguise
We'll now be united

Babylon, Beelzebub
Sweet is the calleth of him
Hell has decided
I'm more than delighted
Woah
Heaven, build the castle of sin
Hell has decided
I'm more than delighted
Woah
And the Devil rages on

Master in the valley, can you hear me?
Master in the valley, can you hear me?
Master in the valley, can you hear me?
Master in the valley, can you hear me?

Say No More

The energy and vibration infecting
To question the purpose of my existence
Jump in the fire, what do you tame?
Burning the masses, feeling the pain
The greatest teacher lives in your own skin
Applying the knowledge that you feel within
Jump in the fire, what do you tame?
Burning the masses, feeling the pain

I feel I lived a life before
The memories are spoken from a deadly soul
Say no more

I recreate, accumulate, determinate
The passing of the lonely one
Say no more

Don't be afraid of death while you're in your bed
You're just getting out of it and into the next
Jump in the fire, what do you tame?
Burning the masses, feeling the pain

I feel I lived a life before
The memories are spoken from a deadly soul
Say no more

I recreate, accumulate, determinate
The passing of the lonely one
Say no more

The energy and vibration infecting
To question the purpose of my existence
Jump in the fire, what do you tame?
Burning the masses, feeling the pain

I feel I lived a life before
The memories are spoken from a deadly soul
Say no more

I recreate, accumulate, determinate
The passing of the lonely one
Say no more

Heavens Descent

Creatures of the night, I see a blackened moon
Nowhere to run, this is the call of the wild
'Cause I rule the dark, I am the wicked soul
The evolution is producing a kind

Keep on ruling the dark
Make us believe that we are
Heaven's descent, I am on fire
Keep on ruling the dark
Make us believe that we are
Heaven's descent, I am on fire
I believe I'm on fire

Daddy fed the ghouls and mama made 'em clothes
Making an army in the dead of the night
The abduction of the deads superior soul
Not exactly what they had in mind

Keep on ruling the dark
Make us believe that we are
Heaven's descent, I am on fire
Keep on ruling the dark
Make us believe that we are
Heaven's descent, I am on fire
I believe I'm on fire

Right or wrong
Doesn't it matter at all
'Cause I am the wicked kind
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Maybe that you
In a solitary booth
Could be a pleasant kind
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Right or wrong
What does it matter at all?
'Cause I am the wicked kind
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Maybe that you
In a solitary booth
Could be a pleasant kind
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Creatures of the night, I see a blackened moon
Nowhere to run, this is the call of the wild
'Cause I rule the dark, I am the wicked soul
The evolution is producing a kind

Keep on ruling the dark
Make us believe that we are
Heaven's descent, I am on fire
Keep on ruling the dark
Make us believe that we are
Heaven's descent, I am on fire
I believe I'm on fire

Dagen Før

[ Featuring Stine Bramsen ]

See the world by design
But there's hope for a miracle
Do you feel satisfied?
There's no roses without a thorn

Now the curtain is burned
Let the sunshine be your guide
Fly away, it's your turn
To embrace your second life

Dagen før var alting
Som en sommerflirt
Og i morgen er endelig, whoa
Dagen før var alting
Som en sommerflirt
Og i morgen er endelig

'Cause the cave that you see
Breathes the darkness that you hold
Now let go of your fear
You don't need it anymore

Freedom is your design
And the oxygen of the soul
Feeling blessed and divine
Does it all now feel like home?

Dagen før var alting
Som en sommerflirt
Og i morgen er endelig, whoa
Dagen før var alting
Som en sommerflirt
Og i morgen er endelig

If we never change
Then how can we grow and ever live?
Love is always able to
Awaken the soul and leave the blues
There is calmness to a life lived in quiet gratitude
The waiting has brought a little pain
But nothing compared to what I've gained

Dagen før var alting
Som en sommerflirt
Og i morgen er endelig, whoa
Dagen før var alting
Som en sommerflirt
Og i morgen er endelig

The Passenger

We're in a hurry, we're running out of time
Don't wait for no one, tonight's the night
Flashing and dancing and celebrating youth
The portal opens, we're leaving soon

Don't have to worry
I don't mind
Let's go together
You and I

Evolution field
I couldn't leave the other night
Evolution road
I can't leave before I die

Welcome, my darkness, my enemy and friend
I hear you talking, again, again
How many generations do belong to you?
They are all now passing through me by you

Don't have to worry
I don't mind
Let's go together
You and I

Evolution field
I couldn't leave the other night
Evolution road
I can't leave before I die

Evolution field
I couldn't leave the other night
Evolution road
I can't leave before I die
Evolution field
I couldn't leave the other night
Evolution road
I can't leave before I die

Step Into Light

Brothers, I'm at the gate
I no longer feel the pain, but I cry
Please let them know at home
Know that I love them so they will cry

Hurt on the battlefield last night
Step into light
Step into light
Hurt on the battlefield last night
Step into light
Step into light
Step into light

Heroes don't kill for fame
Religion or any names, and they cry
Cowards are made of blood
Drain them for what they got, they will cry

Hurt on the battlefield last night
Step into light
Step into light
Hurt on the battlefield last night
Step into light
Step into light
Step into light

Hurt on the battlefield last night
Step into light
Step into light
Hurt on the battlefield last night
Step into light
Step into light
Step into light, ah

Becoming

Every morning is
A new day where we're born again
And becoming the center of the bliss

Laughing at the past
The skin is shredded in the back
And becoming the pieces of a mask

And with the devil's exit, oh baby
The flames went higher and higher
Now finding peace here in Zen
And watching the flames go higher and higher

Silence is the best
Reply to a fool, remember that
And you're not falling
But just a better man

And with the devil's exit, oh baby
The flames went higher and higher
Now finding peace here in Zen
And watching the flames go higher and higher

And with the devil's exit, oh baby
The flames went higher and higher
Now finding peace here in Zen
And watching the flames go higher and higher

And with the devil's exit, oh baby
The flames went higher and higher
Now finding peace here in Zen
And feeling the flames go higher and higher

Mindlock

Sacrificed all the things that became alive
Embracing the feeling I knew that I had inside
The mind is a beautiful servant that intimidates
The counter of good and evil in your memories

Life is so easy to satisfy
Building a castle, I feel like a child
Leave out the ones that make you feel down
Woah-oh-oh
And life is so easy to satisfy
Building a castle, I feel like a child
Leave out the ones that make you feel down

'Cause the mind is everything that you'd think you had become
Don't let it fool you, the soul will now carry on
Be the kind who leaves a mark and not a scar
You find the peace and the balance that you're looking for

Life is so easy to satisfy
Building a castle, I feel like a child
Leave out the ones that make you feel down
Woah-oh-oh
And life is so easy to satisfy
Building a castle, I feel like a child
Leave out the ones that make you feel down

Clenching the thoughts that forever were
Haunting the shadows into the gloomy dark
Burn them forevermore
Do you feel alive?
Leaving it all, now you're going home
Open your eyes that shine
The bliss will now open your mind

Life is so easy to satisfy
Building a castle, I feel like a child
Leave out the ones that make you feel down
Woah-oh-oh
And life is so easy to satisfy
Building a castle, I feel like a child
Leave out the ones that make you feel down

Lasses Birgitta

Fire, fire in the sky on a stake
Higher, higher in the night goes the flame
Burn the witch, now burn, you've been damned
By the hands of the holy
Tried to awake a dead man on the cemetery

Rise up, rise up from the ashes for him
Hear the, hear the name and rise from the grave
Circling the church for two days
The house of God will open
Tried to get a hold of the stole
Locked the door with a blow

The master in light
The master in light
The master in light
The master is alive

Fire, fire in the sky on a stake
Higher, higher in the night goes the flame
Burn the witch, now burn, you've been damned
By the hands of the holy
Tried to awake a dead man on the cemetery

The master in light
The master in light
The master in light
The master is alive

In the dark she saw herself flee
Higher and higher
Master of the moon, I feel free
Lighter and lighter

Rise up, rise up from the ashes for him
Hear the, hear the name in rhymes from the grave
Circling the church for two days
The house of God will open
Tried to get a hold of the stole
Locked the door with a blow

The master in light
The master in light
The master in light
The master is alive
