Mercyful Fate Lyrics

    (medley of five mercyful fate songs:
    Satan’s fall, curse of the pharaohs, a corpse without soul, into the coven and evil.)

    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, yeah
    Got to succeed, if not it's satan's fall

    -

    Away out in egypt in the valley of kings
    Where the mummified pharaohs
    Pretend dead in their sleep, yeah

    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, yeah

    Oh, the curse of the pharaohs can be so deadly
    Or just destroying your future
    Making it all shady, yeah

    Don't touch, never ever steal
    Unless you're in for the kill (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 (listen, listen), yeah
    I'm a corpse, i'm a corpse
    I'm a corpse without soul
    Satan (satan, satan), yeah
    He's taken, he's taken
    He's taken his toll, he took it on me

    I (i, i), yeah
    I'm trapped, i'm trapped
    I'm trapped in his spell
    Tonight (tonight, tonight), yeah
    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-ee-yeah

    Come, come into my coven, yeah-ee-yeah
    And become lucifer's child

    Undress 'til you're naked
    And put on this white coat
    Take this white cross and go to the center of the ring, yeah-ee-yeah

    Come, come into my coven, yeah-ee-yeah
    And become lucifer's child

    -

    I was born in 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, yeah

    You know my only pleasure is to hear you cry
    I'd love to hear you cry
    And 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 (goodbye)
    Oh, lady cry, and say goodbye

    Yeah, you gotta say goodbye
    Yeah, 'cause i will eat your mind
