he was asked to write the lyrics after studying occultist books 
GmThirteen cultists
Held a secret meeting,
Bringing powers oFf the darkness
CUpon those who Dmopposed them.
GmThe cheif of the circle,
Known as Malchius
Drank the blood Fof a young baby
DmOffered unto him.
EbThey danced ecstatically,
FThe orgied frantically.
DThe demon had Farisen
GmFrom the circle on Fthe floor.

And more piercing than FbeforeEbm.C  D

Seven are they.
Out of the abyss they rise,
When day sinks into darkness.
Seven are they.

GmCoven Ein charing cross...
GmSoon, a certain family
Living in the village,
CWould die one by one 
Gmfrom the curse Dmof the cult.
DThe Gmhead of the family,
A witchhunter named Mead,
CHad burned their leader at the stake;
DmSoon he'd regret his deed.

Evil ones, sources of ills.
Setters of unseen snares,
Death to all pity, all prayers.

No wives have they known.
No children begot.
The fiends they are seven,
Disturbers of heaven.
They are seven.
They are seven.
Seven they are.
