Listen, I'm a corpse, I'm a corpse
I'm a corpse without soul
Satan, he's taken, he's taken
He taken his toll
Listen, I'm a corpse, I'm a corpse
I'm a corpse without soul
Satan, he's taken, he's taken
He's taken his toll

Tonight the circle is meeting again
Who will be the first to fall in trance
In here nobody is sensing the rain
Tonight a spirit will glance

So as theyre approaching ghostly hour
Seven people here are joining hands
They think they know the spirit to appear

A Gruesome Time
(Music by Michael Denner Lyrics by King Diamond)

Everything is so strange in here
And as I look through your eyes
I can see what you're thinking of me
I am deep inside

At The Sound Of The Demon Bell

Halloween is the night
The legend says the ghost will rise
On Halloween they can't redeem
A restless soul from an ancient scene
At the sound of the demon bell
Everything will burn to Hell

Halloween is the night
The legend says the ghost will rise
On Halloween they can't redeem
A restless soul from an ancient scene

At the sound of the demon bell
Everything will turn to Hell
Rise... rise... rise... It's Halloween

I heard it... in my sleep last night
I heard it... in your sleep last night
Now I can hear it again, outside the night is sad
I know it's not the wind, outside the night is black

Under our window is the banshee
Wailing it's haunted tune
Under out window is the banshee

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

Come and join my black masses
Bring along your iron axes
Now draw a circle right here in the light
I'll tell you just what to write
Elohim...Adonai...Tetragrammaton
Slaughtering babies in cermonial ways
If we're lucky we can see them for days
'Cause baby blood is full of strength

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...youre still alive...wake up and die

All you can see in the darkness above

Riding out and summed up for they know no destination
Demons and witches are leading their processions
Breaking religion by burning the cross
Breaking religion, burning the cross

Traveling in darkness, afraid of recognition
Evil ambitions, they’re planning the destruction
Breaking religion by burning the cross

Castillo Del Mortes
(Music by: Shermann)

Somewhere in ancient Spain, close to what was BAECULA
There lay Castillo Del Mortes
To be known as "House Of The Dead"
Oh no... Oh not here
A fool was playing with magic, magic he did not understand

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

Come to the Sabbath

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

Way out in Egypt in the valley of kings
Where 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
Now if you're breakin' the seals and disturbing the peace
Then you're startin' up a curse

Dark lady coming out at night
Still glory
Let's those long legs on fire
She's going to take away your life
And there's a mess beyond the killing fields
A shock
Bells ringing from the city top
It's a woman

Stay away white magician, young lovers
and mourning wife
You're not welcome on our land
So I speak for the dead

Solo: Michael Denner

Magic circles drawn after midnight

Angel, lady in white, stay away, you know my forces, Devil eyes
I'll take you to hell, you're inside my spell, in Lucifer's mirror
And I am his killer, I'm Devil eyes

Angel, lady in white, you've had your time, now you are mine, Devil eyes
I'll take you to hell, you're inside my spell, in Lucifer's mirror
And I am his killer
Oh yeah, I'm Devil eyes, Oh yeah, I love my eyes, Oh yeah, those evil eyes, Oh yeah, I love my eyes

I'm back again, back in the evil night, and you're waiting Doomed by the Living Dead
Flames are rising, can’t you see you're dying?

The wolves are howlin’, a baby's cry in the distance, cold winds blowing, in the dead of night
Flames are rising can't you see you're dying?

No way to survive this evil night, if the dead won't leave you alone
So just say goodbye to all your holy angels

Egypt
(Music & lyrics by King Diamond)

Ahh... Egypt... Ahh

Solo: Shermann

O Thou of countless names

I was born on the cemetery
Under the sign of the moon
Raised from my grave by the dead
I was made a mercenary
In the legions of Hell
Now I'm king of pain, I'm insane

You know my only pleasure

This magic winter night I see a light
Again I hear that tune, some sort of croon
Oh no, no, no, oh, my brain.
I see them gypsy waggons left in the snow
Oh, I must see that lady, I have to know
Gypsy woman, let me inside
They say you know the secret, secret of time
So gaze into your crystal and tell me

Holy Water
(Music: Diamond / Lyrics: Diamond)

I don't want that holy water, it makes me burn
I don't want that holy water, I guess I'll never learn
I'd rather drink from the Devil's well
And then I'll go to hell
I'd rather drink from the Devil's well

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

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...

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

Come, come into my coven
And become Lucifer's child

Undress until you're naked

Oh...melissa, youre in my dreams
Youre 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

Kiss the little demon
Hanging on my wall
Kiss the little demon
He will answer your call

You better watch out
God forsaken heaven

Leave My Soul Alone
This song is taken from a session at which Hank and I had agreed to help Michael Denner's 3-piece band to record a demo. It was shortly after this session that the classic M. F. line up was completed. The music is written by Michael himself and I was given about 2 1/2 hours to come up with the lyrics. The song never made it onto an album.

Oooooooooooooooooooh... yeah!!! Oh yeah! Now hear my song
Sirenes calling, people leavin' the streets
The cops are comin', I don't know what I did

Why don't you get away, leavin' my soul alone

Legend Of The Headless Rider
(Music by Hank Shermann Lyrics by King Diamond)

"The Rise"

I'm an undertaker
I'm a ghost in the night
I'm a coffin shaker

Up in the hills where the sun goes down
There's an old black church and a broken town
The sun goes down
The trees are dead and the river is dry
And they blame it all on the old belfry
The devils cry

Why? Why? Why? Listen to the bell

Melissa

I'm kneeling in front of the altar
Satan's cross upon the wall
Strange emptiness, a crystal ball between two candles
Melissa has entered another life

Melissa, you were mine

I forbid you entrance here, you step on hollow ground
Don't you see this chapel
Shut up! Hold your tongue, they must rest
in silence
It's the rebirth of the unborn

Tonight is the night
The spirits of the unborn will play tonight

Nightmare
(Music: Hank Shermann; Lyrics: King Diamond)

Am I awake or is this just a Dream?
I had a Nightmare, some Sort of Vision
I was stuck in an empty Room
When the black Book appeared
The Lights were dim, but the Face in the Book was in Daylight

Stay away
I am evil
Or you will die by tomorrow
Copulation with the body of a woman recently dead
My ceremonies with all the corpses
Finding some is where I find the ghosts in
It’s desecration of souls in their holy lair
Magic circles drawn after midnight

A suicide
The birth of a vampire
Fresh in his lair
Spreading the veil
He’ll spread his wings
Leaving at sunset
Fly high and low
Back before sun’s glow

Oh, yeah oh yeah
Now hear my song
Sirens calling, people leaving the streets
The cops are coming, I don't know what I did
Why don't you get away, leaving my soul alone. Maybe another day, you get a
reason too [x2]
Oh, yeah oh yeah
I'm running free, they won't get me alive

Satan's Fall

They're 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're joining the call

Shadows
(Music & lyrics by King Diamond)

When the darkness eats away the day
And the moon bears witness to the graves

In the shadows we are alive
In the shadows, The Light

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

Sucking Your Blood
I can see it in your mystery eyes
I can feel it on your breath tonight
The yearning for time, the yearning for eternal life

Oh... oh... oh... sucking your blood, oh... oh... oh

Let me look you deep in the eyes

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

By the symbols of the creator
I swear henceforth to be
A faithful servant of his most
Puissant archangel
The Prince Lucifer
Whom the creator designated as his regent
And Lord of this World
I deny Jesus Christ...the deciever

The Preacher
(Music by: Shermann)

You believe in Heaven
You believe the Devil is here
When you ring your demon bell
You think I'll en up in Hell

Minutes and seconds are passing us by
Minutes and seconds are passing us by
Time... Time
Minutes and seconds are passing us by
Time... Time
Time... Time... Time is always passing by
Doesn't matter where you are
Time is passing us by

Torture (1629)
Anna... was praying to a God
She had betrayed, so they said
Some folk had seen her flying on a broom
All Hallows Eve, under the moon
The inquisitor had left her behind
Gone for a bite, food on his mind
The sun was slowly trying to hide

Under The Spell
(Music: Diamond / Lyrics: Diamond)

Solo: Shermann

There's something out there waiting for me
With an evil glow
There's something out there that will

I turn off the lights, we like darkness
Now you call my name, you finally came
Even in the night I see the light shining bright
I'm alone with my friends

Now I see you clear, we raise our glasses
Welcome to my house, Princes of Hell
Even in the night I see the light shining bright

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

Oh, I'll tell you everything I do
We're going to talk at the moon
You've said enough, too easily gave up
I'll smash you, you'll look like a stranger
You're young and scared
No one hears, no one cares
Shout out with your gun
It's time to surrender
