King Diamond - The Ritual Lyrics
As I look into the eyes of VictoriaEnter the Puppet Master and his wifeI can't speak...I'm in shock...Human skulls, ancient booksA strange symbol on the wall, black candles burning lowIn the gloomy light, I see an altar in whiteOh, what is it for? It must be a RitualIn glass jars, up on shelvesI see liquid dark as Hell, there's one for every PuppetI hear the Master's voice, magic words from ancient timesI'm feeling strange insideOh...as if something has taken my mind[solo: Andy]I hear the Master's voice, magic words from ancient timesI'm feeling strange insideOh...as if something has taken my mindIn panic, I kick the shelf.. with all the jarsOne of them falls from high above.. to the floorRED!! Oh so Red...it's BLOOD"How dare you disturb my work"?Demon skull, red as BloodIt's in the symbol on the wall, there's something deadly wrongI feel a sting in my eyes, as they're given eternal lifeAll because of the Blood on the floor, interrupted Ritual[solo: Mike]I hear the Master's voice, magic words from ancient timesI'm feeling strange insideOh...as if something has taken my mindHe lures away my soul, from its shelter and into the coldTo him my soul is goldTrading souls with this Demon is something he knowsAs well as HellMagic life.. is his returnPain.. in my skin, SIN...I feel some kind of Magic...inside
