Help me in my search for knowledge,
I must learn the Secret Art.
Who dares to help me raise the one
Whose very name near stills my heart?
ASTAROTH

Discard your clothes and come on foot,
Through streams and fields and moonlit moors,
Your bodies soaked in secret oils,
Perfumed herbs will heal your sores.
Join me in my search for power.
Wives and husbands bring your kin.
We'll be as one within the hour.
Let the Sabbat now begin.

Come, come, come to the Sabbat.
Come to the Sabbat - Satan's there!
Come, come, come to the Sabbat.
Come to the Sabbat - Satan's there!
Come, come, come to the Sabbat.
Come to the Sabbat - Satan's there!
Come, come, come to the Sabbat.
Come to the Sabbat - Satan's there!
Come, come, come to the Sabbat.
Come to the Sabbat - Satan's there!
Come, come, come to the Sabbat.
Come to the Sabbat - Satan's there!
Come, come, come to the Sabbat.
Come to the Sabbat - Satan's there!
Come, come, come to the Sabbat.
Come to the Sabbat - Satan's there!

Discard your clothes and come on foot,
Through streams and fields and moonlit moors,
Your bodies soaked in secret oils,
Perfumed herbs will heal your sores.
Join me in my search for power.
Wives and husbands bring your kin.
We'll be as one within the hour.
Let the Sabbat now begin.

Come, come, come to the Sabbat.
Come to the Sabbat - Satan's there!
Come, come, come to the Sabbat.
Come to the Sabbat - Satan's there!
Come, come, come to the Sabbat.
Come to the Sabbat - Satan's there!
Come, come, come to the Sabbat.
Come to the Sabbat - Satan's there!
Come, come, come to the Sabbat.
Come to the Sabbat - Satan's there!
Come, come, come to the Sabbat.
Come to the Sabbat - Satan's there!
Come, come, come to the Sabbat.
Come to the Sabbat - Satan's there!
Come, come, come to the Sabbat.
Come to the Sabbat - Satan's there!
Come, come, come to the Sabbat.
Come to the Sabbat - Satan's there!
Come, come, come to the Sabbat.

Come to the Sabbat - Satan's there!
Come, come, come to the Sabbat.
Come to the Sabbat - Satan's there!

ASTAROTH

Can it be the voice I heard,
borne on the wind, to reach my ears,
came from the lips,
I learned so well in other lives.

I swear that I will kill my fear,
perform the rites and swear on,
by me knee to help the one, I loved before.
I even steel my heart, to raise the devil himself.

In this secret place I stand,
unused for countless years,
to make my dream come true,
I call the lady Astarath come join me here.

Time has come, the power is raised,
the wind brings voices to my ears,
believe her faith the voices say,
have confidence the time is almost right.

You plead again for rich rewards,
[that] steaks your blood your mind your soul.
You try to gain all earthly power,
You unleashed plagues of famine, death and war.

All my sins have damned my soul in hell.
All off my sins have locked me in hell. (x4)

I try to turn my heart against the wickedness I wrote,
and in my dream my dear beloved mother came to me.
She beg me turn my face ones more up high toward the lord.
But notice came I could not weep, but Satan clutched my heart.

All my sins have damned my soul in hell.
All off my sins have locked me in hell. (x4)

A Sacrifice, a sacrifice,
you say you wanna sacrifice.
You say the words to easily,
to know just what you mean.

One black hand and one white hand,
I slaughtered with your knife.
I know full well you have a loss,
a thing to match their blood

The sacrificial knife is stained with [...]
and held on hair,
the blood is mixed within the cup,
and drunk by all who watch.

You [...] a power [...] touch.
You'll never get to power just by playing nasty games.

A sacrifice, a sacrifice ...
One black hand ...
When I crossed the abyss two thousand years ago,
I never even dream so many power I would reach.
Till the point on my knife reached my lovers silken throat,
the only thing I'd sacrificed have been my fathers' sheep.
