Apollyon 03:29
Apollyon diamond spiderwebs pillows full of snakes seducing swines in the ballroom clandestine vanity lavish insanity soiling the emperor's costume i took my horse to drink from the fountains 639 votes to none my mother the whore of Babylon my father chose the sea my sister at the feet of Apollyon - you don’t have to worry about me the jesters will defend the waltz of decadence so bring the poisonous chalice we will not make amend godless Parisians tyrants dragged from the palace i took my horse to drink from the fountains 639 votes to none my mother the whore of Babylon my father chose the sea my sister at the feet of Apollyon - you don’t have to worry about me

the judas cross in the Christian light of your eyes i see evil licking boots of the gentleman thieves you follow you asked but then you wouldn’t stay for an answer allowing yourselves to be fooled by the drunken dancer it you had brains you’d be dangerous make the sign of the cross turn it upside down fires in your footsteps as you walk from your bridges negative air surrounds you a descent to your level like that with the devil a mirror that no one can see through - or see you in enlightened darkness you dwell you see nothing spitting yourself in the face as you’re bluffing ten wise mens in flames abbots of unreason into the land of Cockaigne pledge your allegiance it you had brains you’d be dangerous make the sign of the cross turn it upside down fires in your footsteps as you walk from your bridges negative air surrounds you a descent to your level like that with the devil a mirror that no one can see through look out! for the answer look out! for the drunken dancer fires in your footsteps as you walk from your bridges negative air surrounds you a descent to your level like that with the devil a mirror that no one can see through I see you

when eating a wolf the village is empty of horse meat, serpent soup and empathy rat mash and octopus salad we’re boiling cardboard for the kids they say someone ate a stranger who was just passing through and now we’re so hungry hungry for you we’re eating the wolf the dogs ate the dogs we’re eating the wolf bulging eyes in homemade coffins pigs with lipstick and cat flesh fiends even darkness could light up the way now we’re gluing leaves unto the trees they say someone ate a stranger made shoes of human skin what should we serve when death comes walking in we’re serving the wolf the dogs ate the dogs we’re eating the wolf

M.I.N.A. 03:37
M.I.N.A. Since first i came to you You have been yearning In thirst i bathed in you and now you’re mine nocturnal My poison It’s your potion Can’t you hear my call for you __ Now you’ve come to see me tonight Awaiting you, awaiting you I made you long to see me tonight You belong to me, belong to me __ Through fog and mist i flew Thought you had a bad dream You would not reject, I knew We unite through a bloodstream My poison It’s your potion You have felt my call for you __ And you’ve come to see me tonight Awaiting you, awaiting you I made you long to see me tonight You belong to me belong to me

Babylon, Baby! Oh, savage lands please guide my hand these desert plains mislead me The Ishtar gate has sealed my fate My welcome is the taste of eternity I rest my gaze upon the pinnacle The final spectacle ___ Baby, Babylon It’s where we belong A fire’s burning , burning strong When we return To Babylon Idols shall fall and men must crawl among the broken relics All that was real will disappear The splendour human kind devour Enuma reversed frontier between heaven and earth Unmake the wonders of the world ___ Baby, Babylon It’s where we belong A fire’s burning , burning strong There´s no return from Babylon To Babylon

guillotine dreams you can't communicate with the dead can’t get through to the living how could i possibly understand you don’t even know what you’re saying words can lie to you in so many ways i relieve myself at the foot of your grave you come alive in guillotine dreams I tie you down in your guillotine dreamz the house you cry in is beautiful happiness pharmaceutical you pick up the poolside phone and hear threatening whispers words can lie for you in so many ways i relieve myself at the foot of your grave you come alive in guillotine dreams I tie you down in your guillotine dreamz you come alive i come alive you come alive i come alive you come alive in guillotine dreams I tie you down in your guillotine dreamz

Boots 05:19
Boots Ol’ Georgie What were you up to? Death sentence that’s the the curse of justice Waxed and laced up Spit-shined toe caps Mud resistant No one is missing a stranger Wearing you proudly Blood on his hands No one is missing a stranger Ever so proudly Wading in dirt Hearsey spreads from town to town What goes around comes around Ol’ Gorgie You had it coming Butcher treatment You’ll have your retribution Now causing back pain The King of blisters Inflammation No one will know it’s the stranger Wearing you proudly Blood on his hands No one is missing a stranger Ever so proudly Wading in dirt Hearsey spreads from town to town What goes around comes around Look out! Oh no Talk of the town Fear in their eyes As they gather around Oh no Talk on the streets Fear for their lives So beware Perpetual stomping sadness Repulsive pervert Ghastly boots Oh no Talk of the town Fear in their eyes As they gather around Oh no Talk on the streets Fear for their lives So beware Perpetual stomping sadness Repulsive pervert Ghastly boots

Raven 04:22
raven jet black hair in the sunlight a raven kicking up a fuss trust me with your sadness or God help all of us i know wasn´t the only one but i'm certain I was one of them you make me watch you destroy yourself walking in your sleep your head too heavy for your body a foul mouth in a pretty face look in the mirror and apologize for giving birth to a snake i know wasn´t the only one but i'm certain I was one of them you make me watch you destroy yourself walking in your sleep wintery smiles through and through too many unsound reasons make me burn for you burns me too wintery smiles through and through too many unsound reasons make me burn for you burns me too

Demons And Rust Wolfish smile Sheepish life A twisted ceremony Last in line First to find A place among the holy Temptation Salvation The flock of lambs - you command save them from damnation Now it’s time Strike them down To the ground One by one Let the ritual begin feel the dagger pierce your skin and let go of your demons You know they’ll always win Let the ritual begin make them suffer, make them scream You let go of your demons In rituals of sin! Wolfish eyes Ravish lies Shepherd becomes the hunter Hopeless prey Chased astray Only the young are captured Temptation Salvation You command the flock of lambs straight into damnation A vulture wearing angel wings White feathers stained by blood Now it’s time Strike them down One by one Let the ritual begin feel the dagger pierce your skin and let go of your demons You know they’ll always win Let the ritual begin Make them suffer, make them scream You let go of your demons In rituals of sin! Let the ritual begin feel the dagger pierce your skin and let go of your demons You know they’ll always win Let the ritual begin Make them suffer, make them scream You let go of your demons Oh yeah Oh yeah In rituals of sin!

world coming down ready for dissection wish i could talk like i can play volunteer for decimation we’re gonna perish anyway hunting deer with landmines just playing your part every standard’s been discarded meals with beating hearts dammed up exhortations you say you love to live i want so much more from life than it can give it doesn’t matter what you’re wearing when the world is coming down it doesn’t matter what you’re hearing we’re all going down it may be time to leave the comedy behind stop waiting for the bus in the streets of the wrong town all this for another rainy Bergen night? move into the shadows step away from the light dammed up exhortations you say you love to live i want so much more from life than it can give it doesn’t matter what you’re wearing when the world is coming down it doesn’t matter what you’re hearing we’re all going down

about

Lo, it's been three long years, MAGICK TOUCH return with a surprising twist: a mostly moody and slightly occult-tinged album bearing the curious title Cakes & Coffins. Definitely darker but by no means sacrificing those characteristically majestic MAGICK TOUCH hooks, the trio twist the knife in a different direction that thankfully still sounds 666% like them.

Produced by the band along with Spidergawd's Per Borten at Sørgården Studio, Cakes & Coffins bristles with a unique energy: while "dark" for MAGICK TOUCH, there's nevertheless an invigorating / inspiring aspect to the album that keeps it from being a total slit-your-wrists fest. Such is the eternal power & glory of HEAVY METAL. It could be argued that MAGICK TOUCH hit their apex of good-times classicism with Heads Have Got to Rock'n'Roll, but such a zenith simply set the stage for a new one in Cakes & Coffins.
