Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Years of pleading behind the walls
Chambers and vaults, scenes of fright
Unspoken words, in pain and dread
140 lives passed his hands
[Chorus]
Gilles de Rays
Perverted son
Holy man
Into the crypts of Rays
Into the crypts of Rays
Into the crypts of Rays
[Verse 2]
Luring children for his masses
Robbing and buying young souls
Sacrifice to morbid demons
Satisfy his sexual lust
[Chorus]
Gilles de Rays
Perverted son
Holy man
Into the crypts of Rays
Into the crypts of Rays
Into the crypts of Rays
[Bridge]
So this is for the morbid one
Braveless and sick
Shivering laughter
Shrieked through the tombs
Sexual offense
Perverted rites
Watching them limp and die
Wizards and darkness
Gilles' dreams
Halfway came true
[Verse 3]
A late-medieval French marshal
Unrestrained, with endless ambitions
Personal guard for Jeanne D'Arc
The rising of his soul to god
[Chorus]
Gilles de Rays
Perverted son
The holy man
Into the crypts of Rays
Into the crypts of Rays
Into the crypts of Rays
[Verse 4]
Overdone mysticism
Desperate Satanism
Are just one small step apart
No human scheme in the beyond
[Chorus]
Gilles de Rays
Perverted son
The holy man
Into the crypts of Rays
Into the crypts of Rays
Into the crypts of Rays
Written by: Celtic Frost, Thomas Gabriel Fischer
