The Pumpkin Priest (Keeper of the Night) - Nova Gothia Ritual Rework

(Intro - En mörk, ekande kyrkoorgel spelar det klassiska Helloween-introt, som snabbt går över i ett drivande, melodiskt gitarriff) Verse 1 In the valleys of the damned, where the autumn leaves decay A congregation gathers, throwing all their fears away For a century they’ve waited, for the tolling of the bell To praise the orange sovereign, rising from the gates of hell He wears no papal crown, but a crown of candle fire And his wicked, hollow grin fulfills our deepest dark desire Chorus Oh, Keeper of the seven keys! We fall down on our knees Tonight we chant your name, under the crimson moon A holy, heavy tune! Oh, Jack O. Lantern, rise, your kingdom has begun We are the children of the pumpkin sun! Verse 2 Through the smoke of sweet incense, hear the twin guitars collide A power metal prophecy, where the sacred and profane divide He is the lord of all October, the shepherd of the mad Preaching sins of happy Helloween, the best you've ever had So drink the holy wine, let the leather meet the lace As the ghostly choruses celebrate his glowing face Chorus Oh, Keeper of the seven keys! We fall down on our knees Tonight we chant your name, under the crimson moon A holy, heavy tune! Oh, Jack O. Lantern, rise, your kingdom has begun We are the children of the pumpkin sun! Bridge (Tempot saktar ner. En ensam bas och en spöklik orgel spelar medan Papa Emeritus talar med teatralisk, viskande röst) "Future world... I can see your destiny. The walls of Jericho will crumble, and the dark ride will begin. But do not fear the reaper, my sweet children... Just let the pumpkin... fly." (Gitarrsolo - En episk, harmoniserad duell i äkta Kai Hansen / Michael Weikath-stil, men med Ghosts ockulta finess) Chorus Oh, Keeper of the seven keys! We fall down on our knees Tonight we chant your name, under the crimson moon A holy, heavy tune! Oh, Jack O. Lantern, rise, your kingdom has begun We are the children of the pumpkin sun! Outro (Körunderstöd i bästa katedral-stil) Happy, happy Helloween... (Papa Emeritus): Amen. Happy, happy Helloween... (Papa Emeritus): Hear our prayer. Happy, happy Helloween... (Ett sista, dundrande ackord som tonar ut i ett ekande, ondskefullt skratt)
