Mercyful Fate Album

(Based on a true story)
(Music by Hank Shermann Lyrics by
King Diamond)

Back in Tennessee, I saw a
family haunted by an entity
It was a tragedy in another
century
Oh...They never would know the
Evil One that came
Little Betsy, the age of 12
Living in a dream
The first one to scream

Invisible hands leaving their
mark in the dark

Solo: Denner

Night after night
The Bell Witch attacked and
attacked
Torturing Betsy, until a circle
was held in candle light

Tell us who you are
Please tell us who you are

"I am the air you breathe
I am the Bell Witch
I am a million years
I am the Bell Witch"

Solo: Shermann

The Bell Witch decided
It was the time for the father to
scream
Soon taken ill, never again to
leave his bed alive

Tell us who you are
Please tell us who you are

"I am the air you breathe
I am the Bell Witch
I am a million years
I am the Bell Witch"

"Goodnight John, see you in Hell...
Say bye bye to Daddy, Betsy"
Call the doctor!!! ..."I made sure"
Call the doctor!!! ..."There ain't no
cure"

Solo: Shermann

That night John he died
And the Bell Witch never came
again
Soon they realized, the witch had
given John bad medicine

(Music and Lyrics by King Diamond)

Oh...Melissa, You're in my dreams
You're with me every day

Oh...Melissa, could that really be
your voice I hear?
Too soon for you and I
The priest took his sacrifice
And sent you to the other side

Oh...Melissa, You're in my dreams
You're with me every day

Oh...Melissa, do you remember
the time we shared?
Do you remember the magic nights?
I will never forget your smile
Do you remember the love we
had?...
Oh the love we had

Solo: Shermann

"No...Melissa"
You gotta tell me why
"No...Melissa"
I want her by my side

Solo: Shermann

"This is against the rules
there won't be another time"
Melissa tell me why
I wanna know why

"No...Melissa"
You gotta tell me why
"No...Melissa"
I want her by my side

Oh...Melissa, You're in my dreams
You're with me every day

Oh...Melissa, close your eyes
and say goodbye
One last time...we'll kiss goodbye

Solo: Denner

I kiss your soul goodbye

[No lyrics]

(Music & lyrics by King Diamond)

Ahh...Egypt...Ahh

Solo: Shermann

O Thou of countless names
Who are one and all things
O Thou of countless names
Without beginning, without end

Ahh...Egypt...Ahh

Osiris...Anubis...The underworld
is yours
Osiris...Anubis...I put my soul
in your hands
O Thou, God of the Dead
Lead my soul to the judgement hall
O Thou, Jackal Head
Weigh my soul, I await your call

Ahh...Egypt...Ahh

Ammit, Eater of the Dead
Is devouring my heart
Will I pass on to Aaru
Or will I be condemned?

Solo: Denner

I'm burning inside to know
I'm burning inside to know
I'm burning inside to know

I must be back on time
But still I want to know
I hope they let me go
I'm from another time
And I must reunite
My body and my soul

I'm burning inside to know
I'm burning inside to know
I'm burning inside to know

Osiris...Anubis...The underworld
is yours
Osiris...Anubis...I put my soul
in your hands
O Thou of countless names
Who are one and all things
O Thou of countless names
Without beginning, without end

Ahh...Egypt...Ahh

Egypt come back to me
Egypt come back to me
Egypt, without beginning or end

Come come to the Sabbath, down by the
ruined Bridge
Witches and Demons are coming
Just follow the magic Call
Come come to the Sabbath, down by the
ruined Bridge
Later on the Master will join us
Called from the Heart of Hell

At first we light up a Fire, and then we hail
our Lord
Two Candles, a black and a white, are placed
upon the Altar
North, South, East and West, and so we
clean the Air
High Priestess invoking the Devil, infernal
Names are spoken

Come to the Sabbath...Sabbath
...Sabbath...Sabbath
Come to the Sabbath

The Ceremony's proceeding, it's Time to
grant your Wishes
An Evil Curse on the Priest who took the Life
of Melissa
Now we must close up the Ritual, read the
Enochian Key
And so it will be done, Amen... now come

Come to the Sabbath...Sabbath
...Sabbath...Sabbath
Come to the Sabbath...now here we come

Solo: H.S.

If you say Heaven, I say a Castle of Lies
You say forgive him, I say Revenge
My sweet Satan, You are The One

Bring the black box to the altar
Now raise your hands and do the sign
Oh hail Satan, yes hail Satan
Lay down your swords, the evil star

It's a black funeral
She was a victim of my coven

Open the black box on the altar
Her blood is still hot, so let it out
Oh hail Satan, yes hail Satan
Now drink it, drink, drink, forget that whore

It's a black funeral
She was the victim of my coven
