Lyrics: Thirteen cultists Held a secret meeting, Bringing powers of the darkness Upon those who opposed them. The cheif of the circle, Known as Malchius drank the blood of a young baby Offered unto him. They danced ecstatically, The orgied frantically. The demon had arisen From the circle on the floor. The chanting was much louder And more piercing than before. They are seven. They are seven. Seven are they. Out of the abyss they rise, When day sinks into darkness. Seven are they. Coven in charing cross... Coven in charing cross... Soon, a certain family Living in the village, Would die one by one by The curse of the cult. The head of the family, A witchhunter named Mead, had burned their leadser at the stake; Soon he'd regret his deed. Pain from Devil's we evoke! Thirst and suffer til he'd choked. The magic did take over And the soul did feel the roar. Incantations were much louder And more piercing than before. Born in the bowels of the hills Evil ones, sources of ills. Setters of unseen snares, Death to all pity, all prayers. Male they are not. Female they are not. 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. Coven in charing cross... Coven in charing cross...
This classic Coven song has such truly beautiful and chilling vocals by Jinx Dawson and darkly magickal lyrics..I love this album forever..."Witchcraft Destroys Minds And Reaps Souls"..
@@YasminFachinelli Legal !!! é a minha favorita do álbum também, parece que poucos dão valor a esta faixa ,como dão a Wicked Woman e Black Sabbath do mesmo.
This is beautiful. Coven are our best band. I wish they'd kept on recording throughout the later 70s, but they were probably meant for that shadowy period where psychedelia and progressive experimentation pushed music into a lovely abyss of under the earth pleasure. I would also recommend Genesis the American Band also on Mercury- they were similar. You may also want to look into fellow Chi Town occult alumni H.P Lovecraft. So much hope at that time. So much.. People lived so many dreams. They were free, happy, and now I'm someone who is sent to spread the word of Lucifer by bringing gifts to fellow sinners. Hell, I'm gonna go to Churches and give them the sign of the Horns. Love to all things Luciferian. Ben.
Mercury Records also pulled this album from circulation in 1969 when it was linked to the Tate-La Bianca murders. Time Magazine published an article entitled Evil lurks in California that tied this album to the Manson Family killings.
@covenmusicvault :- Please correct me if I am wrong, but I thought that Mercury Records released WITCHCRAFT COVEN: DESTROYS MINDS / REAPS SOULS in the year of 1968. The John Birch Society periodical called: AMERICAN OPINION had a picture of this record album when they had an article on Satanism (1968 issue). Thank you very much.
@covenmusicvault Thanks for letting me know. The John Birch Publication, "American Opinion", had a picture of the Coven album along with a comment describing how Rock and Roll is being used to subvert the youth of America. I'll retrack my steps and locate that issue of American Opinion. It's been about 40 years since I last saw it and I appreciate your correction. On with the Great Work.
I Love it!What more can i say about the coolest album of the psychedelic age,or any age for that matter!!!Jinx is the goddess of darkness and of all my dreams!!
Ended up on the wiki page for 'satanism'. Then ended up here. I didn't expect it to sound like this. This was banned at the time. Just shows how hysterical everyone was during the satanic panic Also - for all the occult ritualistic shit they shoehorned in, it's weird to note that the majority of the album was written by a songwriter-for-hire who was simply given a box of occult-y books and told to read them and write a bunch of songs about the content overnight (which he did). So a large portion of this isn't even their own ideas. Lol
This sort of is the backwards stuff in a way... if you play THIS album backwards it just says I love Jesus Christ, remember to go to church on Sunday, God bless you all, help thy neighbour! etc
Soon, a certain family Living in the village, Would die one by one by The curse of the cult. The head of the family, A witchhunter named Mead, had burned their leadser at the stake; Soon he'd regret his deed. Pain from Devil's we evoke! Thirst and suffer til he'd choked. The magic did take over And the soul did feel the roar. Incantations were much louder And more piercing than before.
Adepts doesn't reveal what passes inside the rituals and circles, but yet, you can find so much information on the internet. The lyrics doesn't reveal the very secrets of occultism, but promote its wondrous nature.
Vlad Tepes you're kidding yourself if you dont think satanism is displayed in a negative light here. The very title and image of this album screams of shock value. Unfortunately for the band, if they were indeed aiming to be devil worshippers, this is not how it works, at least not in the grander sense.
Vlad Tepes I agree this is meant to be artistic and a form of expression but my point is this and tons of other music labelled as satanic is hardly satanic if you think about it. Except when they contain real spells, it certainly does have an effect. Otherwise, the very purpose of occult (hidden knowledge) and mysticism is defeated.
One of the most beautiful and haunting songs ever..Coven rules..
Lyrics:
Thirteen cultists
Held a secret meeting,
Bringing powers of the darkness
Upon those who opposed them.
The cheif of the circle,
Known as Malchius
drank the blood of a young baby
Offered unto him.
They danced ecstatically,
The orgied frantically.
The demon had arisen
From the circle on the floor.
The chanting was much louder
And more piercing than before.
They are seven.
They are seven.
Seven are they.
Out of the abyss they rise,
When day sinks into darkness.
Seven are they.
Coven in charing cross...
Coven in charing cross...
Soon, a certain family
Living in the village,
Would die one by one by
The curse of the cult.
The head of the family,
A witchhunter named Mead,
had burned their leadser at the stake;
Soon he'd regret his deed.
Pain from Devil's we evoke!
Thirst and suffer til he'd choked.
The magic did take over
And the soul did feel the roar.
Incantations were much louder
And more piercing than before.
Born in the bowels of the hills
Evil ones, sources of ills.
Setters of unseen snares,
Death to all pity, all prayers.
Male they are not.
Female they are not.
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.
Coven in charing cross...
Coven in charing cross...
Eu adoro a parte do eles são sete, sete eles sao
@@youtubbeisshit Eu também!
Esse disco tem linhas de baixo e guitarra sublimes. A música anterior a essa e fantastica Tb white witch
This is what happened to original Abba members after they read "Necronomicon"...
DAYUM! LOL!
I fuckkin love abba, I don't care what God fuckin thinks yo

One of them died, hence the Skull
That is Funny
This classic Coven song has such truly beautiful and chilling vocals by Jinx Dawson and darkly magickal lyrics..I love this album forever..."Witchcraft Destroys Minds And Reaps Souls"..
+Count William Jannusch Me too, and agreed
Nunca me cansarei de ouvir esse álbum!
Essa faixa no caso né?
@@wrath6158 o álbum todo mesmo. Amo essa faixa em específico também
@@YasminFachinelli Legal !!! é a minha favorita do álbum também, parece que poucos dão valor a esta faixa ,como dão a Wicked Woman e Black Sabbath do mesmo.
@@wrath6158 Eu gosto tanto de Coven In Charing Cross que gostaria muito de gravar um cover dela
@@YasminFachinelli sim eu gosto muito do "lá lá lá lá ra ra" no final kkk
Li em algum lugar que Jinx estudou ópera, engraçado né
This is a song executed beautifully
Amazing!The whole album is perfect!

They are seven.
They are seven.
Seven are they.
Out of the abyss they rise,
When day sinks into darkness.
Seven are they
I feel a strange thing when I hear this song .. that good !!!
Hauntingly beautiful
I like this song, it's very soothing
I love the way she says "devour".
Mercury Records also pulled this album from circulation in 1969 when it was linked to the Tate-La Bianca murders. Time Magazine published an article entitled Evil lurks in California that tied this album to the Manson Family killings.
Little did they know - more than half the album was written by a non-member
Majestuosa pieza..
Jefferson airplane members watched the rosemary's baby and then recorded an album.
I thought Jinx sounded like an evil Grace Slick as well when I first heard "The White Witch of Rose Hall". Glad I wasn't alone in that
"THE" Rosemary's Baby?
@@Bowebble a mean blonde Grace Slick
BEST SONG, BEST ALBUM, EVER!!!
Coven rules..I love them forever..
fucking awesome.

Classic!
Hail!,Coven \m/
That guy in the middle looks like H.P Lovecraft.
Indeed... Never noticed.
And the blonde dude looks like Owen Wilson :) lol
and jinx look like ozzy
Something about the thought of H.P growing long hair and joining a 60's psychedelic rock group is friggin hilarious.
Indeed.
Every Black Sabbath AND Ghost fan should listen to this. 😅
Charming as hell, elegant, sober and satanic. This shows it's not necesary wearing weird outfits or making noisy music for scaring people...
Well for a lot of people I'm sure those upside-down crosses around their necks are enough.
2:48 best part
❤
Why did this get taken off spotify :(
hermoso!
Someone knows why this was taken off spotify?
Covid in charing cross!!!!
I Love it!What more can i say about the coolest album of the psychedelic age,or any age for that matter!!!Jinx is the goddess of darkness and of all my dreams!!

source?
Forgive me, Jesus, I love her voice.
No smile, none,
Forgett it and forgett me
Aragon
I'm so stoned. d(:
I wonder if there's any backwards messages on this album, haha. :D
This sort of is the backwards stuff in a way... if you play THIS album backwards it just says I love Jesus Christ, remember to go to church on Sunday, God bless you all, help thy neighbour! etc
Kick thy neighbor’s ass and play this album while he’s suffering
Soon, a certain family
Living in the village,
Would die one by one by
The curse of the cult.
The head of the family,
A witchhunter named Mead,
had burned their leadser at the stake;
Soon he'd regret his deed.
Pain from Devil's we evoke!
Thirst and suffer til he'd choked.
The magic did take over
And the soul did feel the roar.
Incantations were much louder
And more piercing than before.
Kesini gara gara kamar jeri
Jinx was so hot
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! Was this the first satanic band ever???
Yes, it is
satanic jefferson airplane?
Lol
coven caralho
BR?
Get
Not attacking Jinx in any way but I feel like her satanist image is only a gimmick
Adepts doesn't reveal what passes inside the rituals and circles, but yet, you can find so much information on the internet. The lyrics doesn't reveal the very secrets of occultism, but promote its wondrous nature.

Indeed it doesn't work like that. They are representing satanism in artistic/poetic way here. This is not a "how to" manual of witchcraft.
But I don't really think I understand your point on this comment...
Vlad Tepes I agree this is meant to be artistic and a form of expression but my point is this and tons of other music labelled as satanic is hardly satanic if you think about it. Except when they contain real spells, it certainly does have an effect. Otherwise, the very purpose of occult (hidden knowledge) and mysticism is defeated.
