Mercyful Fate
MERCYFUL FATE
Mercyful Fate - Crossroads
You are Selene, the moon in heaven
You are Persephone, Queen of the Underworld
Hecate...darkness and terror of the night
Hecate...oh, the crossroads are thine
You are Diana, you are the hunter of souls
The dogs are howling, we dogs know when you approach
Let us ride with a beast tonight
Let us ride the crossroads
Let us ride with a beast tonight, oh let us ride
[solo: Shermann]
At the crossroads, they buried criminals and suicides
At the crossroads, any traveller could lose a life
A suitable place, for making a pact with the Devil
A suitable place, for us to hold the sabbath
Let us ride with a beast tonight
Let us ride the crossroads
Let us ride with a beast tonight
Let us ride in the dead of night...
Even you mortals can ride with her at night
And join the night-flying demons, oh you and I
Listen to their tales of wandering ghosts
Listen to their tales of forgotten times
Listen to their tales of the crossroads
Listen to their tales of forgotten lives
Oh Diana
[solo: Wead]
Hecate...darkness and terror of the night
Hecate...oh, the crossroads are thine
You are Diana, you are the hunter of souls
The dogs are howling, we dogs know when you approach
Let us ride with a beast tonight
Let us ride the crossroads
Let us ride with a beast tonight
Let us ride in the dead of night
To the crossroads...to the crossroads...
We ride to the crossroads, in search of your soul
We ride to the crossroads, in search of your soul...

Mercyful Fate - Egypt
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
========================================
Mercyful Fate - I sold my soul
I sold my soul to you, I sold my soul to the Devil his due
I...I sold my soul
I sold my soul, and I sold yours too
"To the Devil his due"
Ohhh... I sold my soul
That night was the darkest of all
That night I sold my soul to you... to the Devil his due
I sold my soul
No point in turning around, there's no way out of here, no!
No point in turning around, just live with the fear
That night was the darkest of all
That night I sold my soul to you
To the Devil his due
So many angels were falling from the sky
So many angels would have to die...
A black candle in my hand, a pact between God and man
Oh your Majesty, this time I have to know
I sold my soul to you, I sold my soul to the Devil his due
I...I sold my soul
I sold my soul, and I sold yours too
"To the Devil his due"
That night was the darkest of all
That night I sold my soul to you... to the Devil his due
No point in turning around, there's no way out of here, no!
No point in turning around, just live with the fear
That night was the darkest of all
That night I sold my soul to you
To the Devil his due
So many angels were falling from the sky
So many angels would have to die...

Mercyful Fate - Lady In Black
On a magical misty morning
I was standing in the Autumn rain
Suddenly the birds fell silent
Would I ever hear them sing again...
Hear them sing again...
Without a word of warning
I saw a shadow in the Autumn rain
Just like in my nightly dreams
The Lady In Black had come again...
The Lady had come again...
Begging me to follow her into the misty rain
Begging me to follow her into the no more pain
[Solos: S - D]
Her eyes were hypnotizing
Burning deep inside my brain
The Lady In Black was here now
She was here to take me far away...
Take me far away...
"Follow me to the other side"
Through the tunnel of light we travel, fading away
Through the tunnel of light we travel
We're fading away
Through the light that's shinning bright
We're fading away
Through the light that's shinning bright
We're fading away
===========================================
Mercyful Fate - Witche's Dance
Just like a demon's eye
The moon was dancing on the blackened sky
In my sleep nothing is real, dreaming... I'm dreaming
I can feel the shadows lurking
I can feel them closing in
I can hear their evil chanting
This is not a dream for a king
[Chorus:]
Dancing the Witche's Dance... Dancing the Dance
Dancing the Witche's Dance... Dancing the Dance
Cold hands, leading the way
Through the woods and into the night
Outside nothing is real, dreaming... I'm dreaming
I can see a fire burning
Hooded shapes are all around
I can see a throne of silver
Thirteen we are in all
[Chorus]
Before the Goat Of Mendes... We all must take our turn
Into the magic circle... Where still the fire burns
We're spinning round and round... Until one takes a fall
The fallen one will not return, the fallen one must burn
[Solo: D]
Just like a demon's eye
The moon is dancing on the blackened sky
I'm awake but nothing is real
Dreaming... Not dreaming
I can feel the shadows lurking
I can feel them closing in
I can hear their evil chanting
This is not a dream at all
[Chorus]
I wish this was only a dream... A dream
Within a dream
[Solo: S/D]
Dancing the Witche's Dance
Dancing till Death
