Mercyful Fate

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

Way 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've been hit

By the curse of the pharaohs

Yes you've been hit

And the curse is on you (hit me!)

Oh, the curse of the pharaohs can be so deadly

Just destroying your future

Makin' it all shady, yeah!

Don't touch, never ever steal

Unless you're in for the kill (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 (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, yeah, yeah!

Come, come into my coven

Yeah, yeah, 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, yeah, yeah!

Come, come into my coven

Yeah, yeah, 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, pray

And say goodbye

(Goodbye!)

Oh lady, pray

And say goodbye

Yeah, you've gotta say goodbye

Yeah, 'cause I will eat your mind
