Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They're walking by the night
The moon has frozen blue
Long black coats a shelter for the rain
Their load must get through
[Verse 2]
Now bats are leaving their trees
They're joining the call
Seven satanic Hell preachers
Heading for the hall
[Verse 3]
Bringing the blood of a newborn child
Got to succeed, if not it's Satan's fall
[Verse 4]
Way out in Egypt in the valley of kings
Where the mummified pharaohs
Pretend dead in their sleep
[Verse 5]
Don't touch, never ever steal
Unless you're in for the kill
[Verse 6]
Or you've been hit, by the curse of the pharaohs
Yes you've been hit, and the curse is on you
[Verse 7]
The curse of the pharaohs can be so deadly
Just destroying your future
Makin' it all shady
[Verse 8]
Don't touch, never ever steal
Unless you're in for the kill
[Verse 9]
Or you'll be hit, by the curse of the pharaohs
Yes you'll be hit, and the curse is on you
[Verse 10]
Listen
I'm a corpse
I'm a corpse
I'm a corpse without soul
[Verse 11]
Satan
He's taken
He's taken
He's taken his toll
He took it out on me
[Verse 12]
I
I'm trapped
I'm trapped
I'm trapped in his spell
[Verse 13]
Tonight
I'm going
I'm going
I'm going to Hell
Inside his spell
[Verse 14]
Howl like a wolf
And a witch will open the door
Follow me and meet our high priestess
[Verse 15]
Come, come into my coven
And become Lucifer's child
[Verse 16]
Undress 'til you're naked
And put on this white coat
Take this white cross
And go to the center of the ring
[Verse 17]
Come, come into my coven
And become Lucifer's child
[Verse 18]
I was born in the cemetary
Under the sign of the moon
Rasied from my grave by the dead
[Verse 19]
And I was made a mercenary
In the legions of Hell
Now I'm king of pain, I'm insane
[Verse 20]
You know my only pleasure
Is to hear you cry
[Verse 21]
I'd love to hear you cry
I'd love to see you die
[Verse 22]
And I'll be the first
To watch your funeral
And I'll be the last to leave
[Verse 23]
I'd love to hear you cry
[Verse 24]
And when you're down
Beyond the ground
I'll dig up your body again
And make love to shame
[Verse 25]
Oh lady cry, and say goodbye
Oh lady cry, and say goodbye
You've gotta say goodbye
'Cause I will eat your mind
