Metallica - Mercyful Fate lyrics

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

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

Ooh, the curse of the pharaohs
Can be so deadly just destroying your future
Making it all shady, yeah 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, 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

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


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 are 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 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 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

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
