Lyrics

Stay away white magician
Young lovers and mourning wives
You're not welcome on our land
So I speak for the dead
Magic circles drawn after midnight
Around graves to be opened
He'll use the wand to raise a body
He'll ask the questions and he'll burn the remains
This desecration of souls
In their holy lair
Copulation in the night
Two shadows upon a grave
Screams of pleasure
Screams of pain
Young lovers you must be insane
This desecration of souls
In their holy lair
So I say again stay away
(Oh, oh, oh)
This desecration of souls
(Oh, oh, oh)
Dying flowers upon the grave
Of a husband who's lost his maid
She's there on duty and the tears she cries
They don't belong where the flowers lie
This desecration of souls
In their holy lair
So I say again stay away
(Oh, oh, oh)
This desecration of souls
(Oh, oh, oh)
