Metallica - Mercyful Fate lyrics

Album: Garage Inc. - Disc 1 (1998)

They are 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 are joining the call
Seven satanic Hell preachers
Heading for the hall

Bringing the blood of a newborn child, yea
Got to succeed, if not it is Satan´s fall

Way out in Egypt in the valley of kings
Where the mummified pharaohs
Pretend dead in their sleep, yea

Don´t touch, never ever steal
Unless you are in for the kill
Or you have been hit, by the curse of the pharaohs
Yes you have been hit, & the curse is on you

Ooh, the curse of the pharaohs can be so deadly
Just destroying your future
Makin´ it all shady

Don´t touch, never ever steal
Unless you are in for the kill
In for the kill
Or you will be hit, by the curse of the pharaohs
Yes you will be hit, & the curse is on you

Listen, yea
I am a corpse
I am a corpse
I am a corpse without soul

Satan, yea
He has taken
He has taken
He has taken his toll
He took it on me

I, yea
I am trapped
I am trapped
I am trapped in his spell

Tonight, yea
I am going
I am going
I am gonna Hell, inside his spell

Howl like a wolf
And a witch will open the door
Follow me, & meet our high priestess

Yea, yea, come, come into my coven
Yea, yea, & become Lucifer´s child

Undress till you are naked
And put on this white coat
Take this white cross & go
To the center of the ring

Yea, yea, come, come into my coven
Yea, yea, & 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 am king of pain, I am insane

You know my only pleasure
Is to hear you cry
I would love to hear you cry
I would love to see you die
And I will be the 1st
To watch your funeral
And I will be the last to leave
I would love to hear you cry

And when you are down
Beyond the ground
I will dig up your body again
And make love to shame
Oh lady cry, & say goodbye, goodbye
Oh lady cry, & say goodbye

Yea, you have have got to say goodbye
Yea, ´cause I´ll eat your mind
