MERCYFUL FATE LYRICS

1. The Bell Witch

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: M.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: H.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: H.Shermann]

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

[Solo: M.Denner]

2. Is That You, Melissa

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: H.Shermann]

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

[Solo: H.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: M.Denner]

I kiss your soul goodbye

3. Curse Of The Pharaohs (Live)

Away out in Egypt in the Valley of Kings
Where the mummified Pharaohs
Pretend dead in their sleep

Don't touch, never ever steal
Unless you're 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

[Solo: M.Denner]

Now if you breaking the seals
And disturbing the peace
Then you're startin' up a curse
Bringin' evil disease

Don't touch, never ever steal
Unless you're 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

[Solo: H.Shermann]

The curse of the pharaohs can be so deadly
Or just destroying your future
Makin' it all shady

Don't touch, never ever steal
Unless you're 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

4. Egypt (Live)

Ahh... Egypt... Ahh

[Solo: H.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: M.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

5. Come To The Sabbath (Live)

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
First we light up the fire
And then we hail our Lord
Two candles, a black and white
Are placed upon the altar
North, South, East and West
And so we clean the air
High priestess invoking the Devil
Infernal a names are spoken

Come to the Sabbath, Sabbath...
The ceremony's proceeding
It's time to grant your wishes
And evil curse on the priest
Who took the life of Melissa
Now we must close up the ritual
Lead the Enochian key
And so it will be done, Amen...now come
Come to the Sabbath, Sabbath...

[Solo: H.Shermann]

If you say heaven I say a castle of lies
You say forgive him I say revenge
My sweet Satan you're the one

6. Black Funeral (Live)

Bring the black box to the altar
Now raise your hands and do the sing
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 to the altar
Her blood is still hot, so let it out

Oh hail Satan, Yes hail Satan
Now drink it, drink, forget that whore

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

[Solo: H.Shermann & M.Denner]
