Artist : Mercyful Fate Album : Time Solos : S->Shermann D->Denner All lyrics by King Diamond. @SONG: Nightmare Be Thy Name (Denner/Diamond) Master... You know I nerver pray Master... Nothing can keep you away Chorus: Nightmare be thy name, Nightmare be thy name The dreams... They always do come true Second sight, and I don't want to know Chorus You got to stop this game... Before I go In-sane... You drive me insane You would follow me straight to the grave And beyond... Oh yes you would Solo: S/D In Hell, I see the fate of others Break the speel, this night has been on forever Chorus You got to stop this game... Before I go In-sane... Before I go insane @SONG: Angel Of Light (Diamond) I have seen Him there Master of Light, Master of the night Master of all the things that shine Chorus: Oh I believe... I believe in all that I have seen And I have seen the Angel Of Light I have seen the Angel Of Light... Lucifer I have seen Him there Deep down where the Devils dwell Deep down in the darkest well Chorus Solo: S I will make a second deal with the Prince Of Light Never will break the Oath I gave that night Solo: D Shine in all your glory, shine your light on me I have seen Him there Deep down where the Devils dwell Deep down in the darkest well Chorus @SONG: Witche's Dance (Diamond) 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 @SONG: The Mad Arab (Shermann) PART ONE: THE VISION The son of a shepherd, Abdul Alhazred Travelling in the mountains, the mountains to the east One night before him, there stood that giant rock 3 symbols carved in blood He built a fire at its root To protect him from the wolves... The Mad Arab... He would understand The Mad Arab... It was in his hands... Later that same night, awoken by wolfen's cry The Arab cold with fear, saw the rock began to rise... Rise The son of a shepherd, Abdul Alhazred Shivering he saw Them coming, the mountain's evil priests Black robes came together, around the floating rock 3 symbols in the dark They all started chanting ancient songs It was prayer in unknown tongue... The Mad Arab... He would understand The Mad Arab... It was in his hands Solos: S/D Daggers held high to the sky The chanting had turned to screams From the pit where the rock had been 8 snake-like monsters came And the priests burned in red And the priest had turned their heads The blood running from their chests Had the Arab scream in horror... Giving himself away The Mad Arab... He would understand The Mad Arab... It was in his hands Run down that mountain side, oh but they had seen him The priests had caught his scent Running faster... They're chasing him Can't go no faster... They're still behind Aaaah NO!!! They're closing in... ...TO BE CONTINUED... @SONG: My Demon (Diamond) This house is full of hate, this house is full of madness This house is deep insane, this house was never mine Chorus: Deep in the dark you will find us DEMON and I we are both deep inside Yes My DEMON and I we are mine All of the deadle kisses, all of the sick, sick, sickness All of the broken mirrors, it's here to stay forever Chorus Solo: S Chorus 2: Come along...

Oh not here A fool was playing with magic, magic he did not understand He opened the unholy gates Letting out The Ancient Ones from Hell Solo: S 600 people standing on the castle walls Screaming for mercy, someone must have heard their calls 600 wondering what's going on Two armies in the sky, forming and in battle line Hear the battle cries... 7 cohorts of angels, fighting for The Elders to win 7 cohorst of angels, fighting for the people within The "House Of The Dead" soon to be buried in sin 9 units of demons, The Ancient Ones command 9 units of demons, The Ancient Ones will stand For the "House Of The Dead" will soon be buried in sin Solo: S 600 were watching in horror as they began to fight None of the armies were using a weapon As it is known to man Demons and Angels were falling in numbers Out of the burning sky... The burning sky "Retreat, retreat", Oh the angels flee, "Defeat, defeat" The battle's over, it's done Somewhere in ancient Spain, close to what was BAECULA There lay the battleground where many an angel was slain Solo: S 9 units of demons bringing unbearable sin 9 units of demons coming for the people within The "House Of The Dead" will soon live up to its name 600 people running deep inside 600 people trying to hide From the Ancient Ones But there's nowhere to run on this day Solo: D There is no need to speak of the horrible fate Bestowed upon the 600 from BAECULA (C) 1994 WB Music Corp./Sharp Blade Music/Mercyful Fate Music (ASCAP).
