Good live sound on this crusher from KD. Yes, he can hit the notes live !
He started bringing hotties on stage to do the "ritual" for this song, and still does to this day. Good metal eye candy
Pre internet, pre mass communication, the lyrics for the old Mercyful Fate songs were ominous. The PMRC were going after Judas Priest, Megadeth etc., listening to Zeppelin backwards. Forget that crap man, Mercyful Fate were cranking out songs like this, The Oath and Black Funeral straight out and in your face.
It made it fun to be a part of the original hardcore metal wave. Listening to the albums, go to the concerts. A great era in musical history that I feel fortunate to have grown up with.
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
Later on the Master will join us, called from the heart of hell
At first we light up a Fire, and then we hail our Lord
Two Candles, a black and a white, are placed upon the altar
North, South, East and West, and so we clean the air
High Priestess invoking the Devil, infernal names are spoken
Come to the Sabbath...Sabbath...Sabbath...Sabbath...Come to the Sabbath
The Ceremony's proceeding, it's time to grant your wishes
An evil curse on the Priest who took the life of Melissa
Now we must close up the ritual, read the Enochian Key
And so it will be done, Amen... now come
Come to the Sabbath...Sabbath...Sabbath...Sabbath...Come to the Sabbath...
Now here we come
If you say Heaven, I say a castle of lies
You say forgive him, I say revenge
Oh my sweet Satan, you are the one
