Lyrics
She rides to the sabbath
Veiled under silver light
To make love to the devil
Necromancer of nyte
Within the mystic forest
She sets your soul alight
Her coven conjure the demons
Herald the sacrifice-yeah
Lucifera Vampirella
She bares the mark of the devil
Queen of the witches
Her kingdom is your hell
Black masses in the convent
Priests under her spell
The crops have withered
The sky bends upside down
Her name is Lucifera
The mutant preachers yell yeah
My name is Hopkins
I'm the Witchfinder General
My impotence deceives me
Your beauty turns me pale
Winds haunt the village
Satan's ghost awakes
The world falls into darkness
As she melts at the stake yeah
Matthew Hopkins
Witchfinder General
Your soul condemned to Hell
If any one know's how to play the guitar solo could you email me at tomreid@metallica.com
