Lyrics Mercyful Fate

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: Michael Denner

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: Michael Denner

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: Hank Shermann/Michael Denner

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: Michael Denner
