Acid Queen

Venom · The Seven Gates Of Hell-Singles 1980-1985 [2002]

You, have got everything I need

& you, can take my soul right out of me



I'll pay you wicked price

Deliver your merchandise

Gypsy you'll drive a dream

Acid Queen



Wild, tames the raging beast

Child, helps the blind to see



Demon controls my mind

Leaves the real world behind

Mould me a purgatory scene

Acid Queen



Get out of here... ....

You ain't wanted here no more

Can you hear me

I said get out of here you



Witch, now you've given all you've got

Bitch, now you've left me here to rot



You're coming down & fast

You've tripped your very last

I'll take your place & sing

Acid King
