[Verse 1]
Lurking in the darkness, they consecrate nightfall
A sacred rite destroys the light, from purity withdrawn
Behold the face of terror, open the gates of Hell
The season of the witch, Hell's cast its deadly spell
[Chorus]
All night
They cast a spell by the light of the moon
[Verse 2]
Hiding in shadows to penetrate your soul
Plant the seed of blasphemy to tear apart your mind
Spread the wings of terror, may all the curses bind
They now control your wretched soul, a curse upon mankind
[Pre-Chorus]
Behold the Devil's sign
Beware of witches in the sky
Who is ready to fly?
Unleash hell
[Chorus]
All night
They cast a spell by the light of the moon
[Verse 3]
Conjuring in darkness, desecrate their will
The dead of night has taken flight, assassinate them all
Show them the face of terror, show them the grace of Hell
Black magic of the witch, shall never break the spell
Conjuring with power, mystical and formless
[Pre-Chorus]
Behold the Devil's pride
Beware of witches in the sky
Who is ready to die?
You're hellbound
[Chorus]
All night
They cast a spell so the demons will rise
[Verse 4]
Chanting in the moonlight to dominate your will
Coven flight, they ride the night, exterminate them all
Behold the face of terror, unlock the gates of Hell
The circle of the witch, you'll never break the spell
Forever now spellbound, unleash the deadly forces
[Pre-Chorus]
Behold the Devil's sign
Beware of witches in the sky
Who is ready to fly?
Unleash hell
[Chorus]
All night
They cast a spell so the demons will rise
All night
They cast a spell by the light of the moon

Chuck Billy said this in an interview with Heavy Music Headquarters:
When we wrote that song, of course Eric gave me the (vocal) idea. He wanted a witch song. So we wrote that song about witches. That part that he sings, I actually wrote it out of the song because I didn’t want to sing that part. I...
