Steel hearts, black fire inside
No god above, no soul to hide
Your blood runs cold beneath my skin
Kneel down, confess your favorite sin

Maschinen brennen, Fleisch vibriert
Der Engel fällt, das Tier regiert
(“Machines burn, flesh vibrates / The angel falls, the beast commands”)

Bleed for the Devil, give me control
Ich will dein Herz, I want your soul
Bleed for the Devil, down on your knees
Verdammt für immer — say please

Chains and smoke, the altar bleeds
Your halo cracks — desire feeds
This love is war, this lust divine
Now spill your faith — it’s mine, it’s mine

Maschinen brennen, Fleisch vibriert
Der Himmel schweigt, das Feuer friert
(“Machines burn, flesh vibrates / Heaven is silent, the fire freezes”)

Bleed for the Devil, give me control
Ich will dein Herz, I want your soul
Bleed for the Devil, down on your knees
Verdammt für immer — say please

Your shadow trembles, chained in light
The cross inverted, black as night
From sacred wounds my hunger feeds
Ein König wächst, wo Liebe flieht
(“A king arises where love retreats”)

Steel and sin, the blood unites
The choir screams through endless nights
You call my name — I hear, I feel
Der Teufel küsst, das Herz aus Stahl
(“The devil kisses, the heart of steel”)

“Bleed… bleed… bleed for me…”
“Dein Blut gehört mir…” (“Your blood belongs to me…”)

Bleed for the Devil, born of the flame
Ich bin dein König, remember my name
Bleed for the Devil, kneel and obey
Verdammt für immer — now fade away

“Blut ist Gebet. Blut ist Liebe. Blut ist Macht.”
(“Blood is prayer. Blood is love. Blood is power.”)

Bleed For The Devil

The Black Cross is a gothic metal band conjuring soundscapes steeped in darkness, mysticism, and cinematic intensity. Formed as a ritualistic union of heavy riffs, haunting melodies, and baroque aesthetics, the band blends elements of hard rock, doom, punk, and darkwave into a force both brutal and beautiful.

Led by frontman Michael on vocals and guitar, the five-member coven includes the enigmatic Lilith (synth & vocals), the shadowy axe-wielder Cain (rhythm guitar), brooding low-end guardian Malach (bass), and the fierce and relentless Abaddon (drums). Each member represents a different facet of the band’s occult-inspired persona.

Their debut album The Chapel of Shadows introduced a new liturgy of sonic storytelling — songs like Velvet Crucifix, The Seraphim Lie, and Darkness Is My Friend explore themes of sin, salvation, and the sacred in decay. With theatrical visuals, powerful live performances, and an ever-expanding mythology, The Black Cross is more than a band — it's a resurrection in sound.

Listen. Worship. Burn the silence.
