MERCYFUL FATE LYRICS

1. Last Rites

I'm surrounded by darkness, I'm dying in my bed
I don't know if I'm going to survive
I open my eyes, but it's so hard to see
My Last Rites
I don't believe in heaven, I don't believe in hell
So save your god for someone else or save him for yourself
In a flick of a second I think I saw a priest
Listening to my breathing getting weaker all the time
He's mumbling words I don't understand
My Last Rites
I don't believe in heaven, I don't believe in hell
So save your god for someone else or save him for yourself
Feeling colder, feeling low
My blood still running, but running slow
Oh no... I don't need no priest of yours... oh Christ
I won't listen to another word from you
Here I am dying and you act the fool
I wish you'd come a little closer
So I can reach your cross and end your prayer here
I don't believe in heaven, I don' t believe in hell
So save your god for someone else or save him for yourself

2. Church Of Saint Anne

Oh Father... did you speak to God?
Oh Father... did he speak to you?
In the Church of Saint Anne
Oh Father... your eyes could heal the sick
Yeah, heal the sick
Oh Father... no one could ever forget
Oh Father... the night your eyes went black
In the Church of Saint Anne
Oh Father... God left you for dead
It was a black year for the Church of Saint Anne
It was a black year when the miracles began
In the Church of Saint Anne
The sick got sicker and the well got ill
Your congregation said you lost "God's will"
You ran to the altar, said another prayer
You ran to the altar, but God was never there
So they threw you out, and stoned you down
Stoned you down to the ground
It was a black year for the Church of Saint Anne
It was a black year when the miracles began
In the Church of Saint Anne
Oh Father... betrayed by your own
Oh Father... did Satan take your soul?
They found him in the tower hanging from the bell
A twisted smile on his face as if he came straight from Hell
"If thine eyes deceive thee, pluck them out"

3. 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 we're 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 we're 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...

4. House On The Hill

Let's go to the House on the Hill
Let's go to where time stands still
If you dare then come with me
To the House on the Hill and you will see
Nothing is what it seems In the House on the Hill
Let's go to the House on the Hill
Let's go to where time stands still
While you were asleep
Another friend of mine has come from the Keep
The well in the cellar my dear - That's how I keep them near
In the House on the Hill
In the House on the Hill
In the House on the Hill
In the House on the Hill
Let's go to the House on the Hill
Let's go to where time stands still
In my little shrine
I keep the stillborn to be born another time
The souls that God didn't hear - oh I keep them near
In the House on the Hill
In the House on the Hill
In the House on the Hill
In the House on the Hill
It is so very strange, to live among the stillborn
It is so very strange, to keep their souls away from harm
I was one of the mentally ill, who stayed in a cell of his own
I was one of the mentally ill, who used to call this home
Oh you're not alone

5. Burn In Hell

All your sins are forgiven
In the name of Jesus in heaven... Ahhh
There you stood with your soul in your hand
Thinking... that God would understand
Satan take him to where you dwell
Satan take him to burn in hell
Always were a believer
You never thought of God as the Deceiver... Ahhh
There you stood with your soul in your hand
Thinking... that God would understand
Satan take him to where you dwell
Satan take him to burn in hell
Burn In Hell... Drown in my wishing well
Burn In Hell... Drown in my wishing well
Where is your Jesus now, Jesus in Heaven
Where is your saviour of all - He's executing your soul
Burn In Hell... Drown in my wishing well
Jesus and Satan hand in hand
Leading you down the stairway to the damned
No more pearly gates for you
Eternal flames, wondering who is who... Ahhh
Burn In Hell... Drown in my wishing well
Burn In Hell... Drown in my wishing well
Where is your Jesus now, Jesus in Heaven
Where is your saviour of all - He's executing your soul
Burn In Hell... Burn In Hell

6. The Grave

There is a cemetary just East of here
That's where they say the Devil, the Devil is always near
Come to the Grave
The Grave that comes alive, The Grave that feeds the night
Bring your Book of Spells
Ancient rites, magic signs, bring your sacrifice
It's time to draw the circle around The Grave
Now don't you break the circle, tonight is not a game
Come to The Grave
Rise evil demon, up into the night
Is that you... Baphomet, the inverted star
We visit here at midnight, we stay until the daylight
Is that you... Baphomet, the inverted star
We visit here at midnight, we stay until the daylight
There is a cemetary just East of here
That's where they say the Devil, the Devil is always near
Come to the Grave
The Grave that comes alive, The Grave that feeds the night
Bring your Book of Spells
Ancient rites, magic signs, bring your sacrifice

7. Insane

I see little demons, are they in my head?
I see little demons, fightin in my bed
Why did I go insane? Oh doctor kill the pain
Screams in the night, I hear another one died
Was it number 9, or was it me who cried
Why did I go insane? Oh doctor kill the pain
When I look in the mirror, my mind goes blank
My brain is burning up, Insanity...
When I look in the mirror, my mind is, Dead
Is it me on the other side?
I saw the look on your face, the night they took me away
Not a tear, not a trace, just stood there waving goodbye
Dead roses in my room, a love that died too soon
When I look in the mirror, my mind goes blank
My brain is burning up, Insanity...
When I look in the mirror, my mind is, Dead
Sanity turned Insane, I hange myself in a picture frame
I'm so tired, let me sleep
I'm counting demons...
Oh doctor kill the pain, oh doctor kill the pain

8. Kiss The Demon

Kiss the little Demon, hanging on my wall
Kiss the little Demon, he will answer your call
You better watch out... God forsaken heaven
I am alone in the dark when I call the Demon's name
I Am... Am I the one who's insane?
Kiss the Demon, he'll make your wish come true
Kiss the Demon
Stick out your tongue and let Him taste a little of your blood
Kiss the little Demon, hanging on my wall
Kiss the little Demon, he will answer your call
Kiss the Demon, he'll make your wish come true
Kiss the Demon
Stick out your tongue and let Him taste a little of your blood
I send you my Demon to blacken his brain
I send you my Demon to rip out his veins
Rise from Hell and serve me well
Rise... D emon rise
You better watch out... God forsaken heaven
I am alone in the dark when I call the Demon's name
I Am... Am I the one who's insane?
Kiss the Demon, he'll make your wish come true
Kiss the Demon
Stick out your tongue and let him taste a little of your life
A little of your blood
A little of your soul

9. Buried Alive

The poison is still in your veins
The poison I slipped in your drink
Never saw me, I am but a ghost
Never saw your dangerous host
Wake up... You're still alive... Wake up and die
All you can see in the darkness above
Is the white in my eyes...
I'm standing on the edge of your grave
Looking down
Into the eyes of a dead...
Buried alive... Buried alive
Wake up... You're still alive... Wake up and die
How does it feel with my foot on your chest?
How does it feel?
Tell me and I might forget
How does it feel to be so out of breath?
How does it feel?
Tell me and I might forget...
Buried alive... Buried alive
He started struggling, Oh the fool
Moonlight shining in his drool
I slammed the shovel straight between his eyes
"Stay down", I screamed "You're here to die"
Never saw me, I am but a ghost
Never saw your dangerous host
Wake up... You're still alive... Wake up and die
All you can see in the darkness above
Is the white in my eyes...
I'm standing on the edge of your grave
Looking down
Into the eyes of a dead...
Buried alive... Buried alive
No matter what it is you believe
You're lucky if you die in your sleep
"Murder", he screamed "Oh why?" but that's a lie
You killed me first, so now die
I'm dead, but you die, I'm gonna bury you alive
"Murder" he screamed "Oh why?"

10. 9

In Hell
Are we all in Hell? Are we in Heaven?
Heaven... heavenly Hell
We are 9
Good and Evil, Dark and Light
We are 9,9 we are
I am 9... You are 9... We are 9
God is Satan deep below, Satan is God high above
In the end it's all the same
Who are we to play their game
We are 9
9 we are all 9 we are 9 we are all 9
In Hell
Are we in Hell?
Time has disappeared into an unknown evil
In Heaven? Heaven... heavenly Hell
I am 9... You are 9... We are 9
I am 9... You are 9... We are
