Mercyful Fate

(Diamond, Shermann)

They're walking by the night
The moon has frozen blue
Long black coats a shelter for the rain
Their load must get through
Now bats are leaving their trees
They're joining the call
Seven satanic hell preachers
Heading for the hall
Bringing the blood of a newborn child
Got to succeed, if not it's Satan's fall

Way out in Egypt in the valley of kings
Where the mummified pharaohs pretend dead in their sleep
Don't touch, never ever steal
Unless you're in for the kill
Or you've been hit by the curse of the pharaohs
Yes you've been hit and the curse is on you

The curse of the pharaohs can be so deadly
Just destroying your future, making it all shady
Don't touch, never ever steal
Unless you're in for the kill
Or you'll be hit by the curse of the pharaohs
Yes you'll be hit and the curse is on you

Listen
I'm a corpse, I'm a corpse
I'm a corpse without soul

Satan
He's taken, he's taken
He's taken his toll
He took it on me

I
I'm trapped, I'm trapped
I'm trapped in his spell

Tonight
I'm going, I'm going
I'm going to Hell
Inside his spell

Howl like a wolf
And a witch will open the door
Follow me and meet our high priestess
Yeah, come, come into my coven
Yeah, and become Lucifer's child

Undress until you're naked
And put on this white coat
Take this white cross and go to the center of the ring
Yeah, come, come into my coven
Yeah, and become Lucifer's child

I was born on the cemetery
Under the sign of the moon
Raised from my grave by the dead
And I was made a mercenary
In the legions of hell
Now I'm king of pain, I'm insane

You know my only pleasure
Is to hear you cry
I'd love to hear you cry
I'd love to see you die

And I'll be the first
To watch your funeral
And I'll be the last to leave
I'd love to hear you cry

And when you're down beyond the ground
I'll dig up your body again
And make love to shame
Oh lady cry, and say goodbye
Oh lady cry, and say goodbye
You've gotta say goodbye
'Cause I will eat your mind

Mercyful Fate
