Mercyful Fate lyrics

[Part I: Satan's Fall]

[Verse 1]
They're walking by the night, the moon has frozen blue
Long black coats as 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

[Part II: Curse of the Pharaohs]

[Verse 2]
Way out in Egypt in the valley of kings
Where the mummified pharaohs
Pretend dead in their sleep, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't touch, never ever steal
Unless you're in for the kill

[Chorus]
Or you've been hit by the curse of the pharaohs
Yes, you've been hit, and the curse is on you
[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
Ooh, the curse of the pharaohs can be so deadly
Just destroying your future
Making it all shady, yeah-yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't touch, never ever steal
Unless you're in for the kill (In for the kill)

[Chorus]
Or you'll be hit by the curse of the pharaohs
Yes, you'll be hit, and the curse is on you

[Part III: A Corpse Without Soul]

[Verse 4]
Listen, yeah, I'm a corpse, I'm a corpse
I'm a corpse without soul
Satan, yeah, he has taken, he has taken
He has taken his toll, he took it on me

[Verse 5]
I, yeah, I'm trapped, I'm trapped
I'm trapped in his spell
Tonight, yeah, I'm going, I'm going
I'm going to Hell inside his spell
[Part IV: Into the Coven]

[Verse 6]
Howl like a wolf
And a witch will open the door
Follow me and meet our high priestess

[Refrain]
Yeah, come, come into my coven
Yeah, and become Lucifer's child

[Verse 7]
Undress until you are naked
And put on this white coat
Take this white cross and go to the center of the ring

[Refrain]
Yeah, come, come into my coven
Yeah, and become Lucifer's child

[Part V: Evil]

[Verse 8]
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
[Guitar solo]

[Verse 9]
You know my only pleasure is to hear you cry
I love to hear you cry, I love to see you die
And I'll be the first to watch your funeral
And I'll be the last to leave
I love to hear you cry

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 10]
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 got to say goodbye
Yeah, 'cause I will eat your mind

[Guitar solo]
