Mercyful Fate - Desecration of Souls
Stay away white magician, young lovers
And mourning wife
You’re not welcome on our land
So I speak for the dead
Solo: m.d.
Magic circles drawn after midnight
Around graves to be opened
He’ll use the wand to raise a body
He’ll ask the questions and he’ll burn the
Remains
It’s desecration of souls in their holy lair
Solo: m.d.
Copulation in the night
Two shadows upon a grave
Screams of pleasure and screams of pain
Young lovers, you must be insane
It’s desecration of souls in their holy lair
So I say again: stay away, it’s desecration
Of souls
Solo: h.s. solo: m.d.
Dyin’ flowers upon the grave
Of a husband who’s lost his maid
She’s there on duty, and the tears she cries
They don’t belong where the flowers lie
It’s desecration of souls in their holy lair
So I say again: stay away, it’s desecration
Of souls
Solo: m.d.
