It's so cold inside on this summers night. Black clouds in the sky dancing before my eyes. I'm losing track of time. It's the eye of the witch. It's the eye of the witch. Thunder bring the rain, penetrate my brain. I am no more the same, that special night has come again. Losing track of time. It's the eye of the witch. The eye. The eye. The eye. Another glass of wine to heat the blood of mine. As I look inside the necklace called "The Eye". I'm going back in time. It's the eye of the witch. It's the eye of the witch. The eye. The eye. The eye.

[La Reymie:] "Jeanne D'basson, you stand accused before the burning court for practicing witchcraft. Do you confess? We have ways to make you talk! How do You plead?". [Jeanne:] "I never did any harm to anyone. I don't believe this". [La Reymie:] "Lead the witch to the dungeon for the test, bring out the glowing pins. Do it now!". This is rotten to the core, Jeanne is naked on the floor. In the dungeon, they want more. [La Reymie:] "Oh Jeanne, you feel so good". La Reymie is touching her body. Wringled fingers all over her. [La Reymie:] "So, this is how you make with the devil. We're gonna get you, witchy woman. We will never believe in you, so you better repent your sins now". Sticking needles into her skin, in the dungeon blood is everywhere. Glowing needles, needles and pins. She's getting weaker, no more pain to feel. [La Reymie:] "We will never believe in you, so you better repent your sins now. We are the servants of God, we believe in the devil and we've found his mark on you. Confess witch! Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. who so ever lieth with a beast, shall surely be put the death". [Jeanne:] "Never did I lie with any beast of thine, dogs or cats or goats, now leave my soul alone". [La Reymie:] "He that sacrificeth unto any god save the lord, only he shall be utterly destroyed". [Jeanne:] "Now I hear, deceiving, lying tongues. Never have I done no harm to anyone". But they did not turn her loose. Horns and tails and cloven hoof. Can you tell me where's the proof? Where's the proof? Where's the proof? Where's the proof? Where's the proof? Where's the proof?

The inquisition will take her to the hill. Ready for the kill, giving God his will. Everybody's there, none of them will care. Not a single prayer. Burn in the night, you're the devil's child. Burn in the night, you're the devil's child. Looking at the sky, soon the girl will die. Nobody will cry, hear her screaming: "why?". The priests are all in line, now they give the sign. Let the fire shine. Burn in the night, you're the devil's child. Burn in the night, you're the devil's child. They say the devil is here tonight. Then let him play his violin so wild. Higher, burning higher, flames will soon devour. Higher, burning higher, the smell of skin turned sour. Higher, burning higher, her legs are scorched by fire. Ashes to ashes, I see a smile on their wicked faces. Burn in the night, you're the devil's child. Burn in the night, you're the devil's child. Lightning from the sky, magic's coming by. As her necklace flies right into her eye. The priests are all in line, now they give the sign. Let the fire die. Burned in the night, there are no remains. Burned in the night, just a magic chain.

One little girl with dirty fingers playing with her broken doll. As the other girl is lying, digging deep into the ground. They seem to play an evil game, a game that doesn't have a name. Both of them are in the ashes, at the stake where witches burn. If only they could see beyond the ground they play on. The girls are laughing still, they think they're having fun. They should be far away, watching the sun go down. One little girl picked up a necklace from the ashes of the witches. It had wings and then the other cried out loud: "Now let me have it". The other looked without a sign right into the witch's eye. The kind of horror that she saw made her choke for evermore. I wish they could have seen beyond the ground they played on. They would be laughing still, having the best of fun. They would be far away watching the sun go down.

Madeleine is running away from herself. Afraid of the shame, she's crying out for help, to be clean again. No one cared and no one ever will. Her feelings were not shared, she wants to break the spell. She's going into the convent, a smile on her face. Into the darkness to hide all her sins. Wondering what could go wrong in this place. [Father David:] "Welcome Sister, I'm your chaplain. Down on your knees and pray if you please. In this convent I'm your master. Kiss my cross now dearest Sister. In the name of...". Madeleine is running away from herself. As father David said: "At communion you must be undressed". Why did she go into the convent, a smile on her face? Into the darkness to hide all her sins. Wondering what could go wrong in this place. [Father David:] "Come along Sister Madeleine, unfold your wildest dreams. It's time to join and sing, let the feast begin". That night she awoke to find "The Eye" on the stone cold floor. Why, she never ever would know why but she put it on. Next day father David passed away, at communion time. Why, he never ever would know why but he looked at "The Eye". The eye of the necklace is taking it's toll. Inside the convent a soul will rejoice.

A new chaplain has arrived. Madeleine and a few other nuns at the convent will meet him tonight. [Father Picard:] "Welcome to my quarters, do come inside. Welcome dearest Sisters, come into the light. I'm Father Picard, I'm taking over. Things will be different here. You are the four God has chosen to be his angels in white. Drink my sweet holy wine. Oh yeah, come on it's not a crime. From now on every sunday this time, you will attend this communion of mine". Father Picard is hiding something. A white powder for the wine. [Father Picard:] "I'm Father Picard, I'm taking over. Things will be different here. You are the four God has chosen to be his angels in white Drink my sweet holy wine". The nuns freak out, lust in their eyes From now on every sunday this time Father Picard's in control of their minds. Father Picard is hiding something. The white powder in the wine.

Walking in the garden, picking flowers in the sun. Madeleine is on her own. She can't see any of the other nuns, is she blind or is it her mind? What's going on, what's going on behind these walls? All the birds are singing, but Madeleine can't hear their song. Memories of screams in the night. Moaning coming from below where the prison cells are cold. She does not understand what's going on. Now the bell is ringing, communion time has come again. Is Father Picard really a friend? The bible in her hand reminds her of the wine, the sour tasting blood of Christ. What's going on, what's going on behind these walls? what's going on behind these walls?

The night is black. 7 figures walk the streets of Louviers. Picard is one, another two are priests. Then the nuns going to... ...The meetings held in secrecy. Evil company full of secrecy, again and again. The room is dark. Candles on the wall, they've been here before. The christian cross is hanging high above, the altar of God. Madeleine is at the gate. Hazy feeling in her brain. As the strangers come in to... The meetings held in secrecy Evil company full of secrecy, again and again The strangers brought the sweetest little child, but something's wrong. The baby cries, someone here will die. Now the nuns pray. The meetings held in secrecy. Evil company full of secrecy, again and again. Madeleine and the other nuns, they hold the infant up to the cross. As father Picard and the priests approach with hammers and nails. There's no more to tell.

This track is instrumental.
Sacrifice, holy rites, secrecy and alter wine. Black candles burning low to the meetings again they go. Picard can't wait to take away another soul. Oh, it's a shame, Picard was so insane. In the year of 1642, it came to an end. In 1642, imprisonment. Sacrifice, holy rites, secrecy and alter wine. Black death come this way, Father Picard will soon be going. He's ill, so sick, now his meetings are forever over. Oh it's a shame, they went along with his game. In the year of 1642, it came to an end. In 1642, imprisonment. Sacrifice, holy rites, secrecy and alter wine. The nuns can't take her blame. One after one they suffer a breakdown. Confession, confession, they confess to diabolic possession. Oh it's a shame, even Madeleine has gone insane. In the year of 1642, Madeline was leaving hell. In 1642, she found freedom in her prison cell.

I know what you're thinking, I can see through your brain. I know what you're doing, even though I'm far away. The power I get from the chain is mine, only I can use it. The power I get from the chain is mine, only I can use it. It was only yesterday, thunder rolling by, breaking up the sky. The rain was pouring down. Pounding on my brain, driving me insane. I was drinking wine again. Oh yeah, blame it on the wine, The curse of "The Eye", it will take you back in time. If you look at "The Eye", it will take you back in time. The curse of "The Eye", it will take you back in time. If you look at "The Eye", it will take you back in time. I know what you're thinking, I can see through your brain. I know what you're doing, even though I'm far away. I know there's a bad side to the power of the chain. I know I'll be going back in time once again. It was only the 1st of May, thunder rolling by, breaking up the sky. The rain was pouring down. The inquisition came, I felt the pain. I had to relieve it all in just one day. The curse of "The Eye", it will take you back in time. If you look at "The Eye", it will take you back in time. The power I get from the chain is mine, only I can use it.
