Salem Lyrics - Voodoo - King Diamond

At midnight that same night 

The Lafayette's were sleeping 

At midnight that same night 

There is a shadow creeping 

Salem is moving without a sound 

Salem is moving, moving, moving 

To the burial ground 

So hot and so quiet 

Only the leaves are shaking 

By one of the graves 

Doctor Le Croix is waiting 

Salem is moving without a sound 

Salem is moving, moving, moving 

To the burial ground 

Doctor Le Croix, shaking the hand of Salem 

My my my my my God 

Salem tell me the secret 

My my my my my God 

This makes me feel uneasy 

In shock Le Croix is terrified 

This could be the end 

Fear turns to hate 

Great Wanga will befall the Lafayette's 

Salem, help me, save us 

Salem, help me, save us 

By turning them to dust 

So take this money and off you go 

To Madame Sarita's Boutique of Voodoo 

A snake curse and a little 'Goofer Dust' 

You Salem will be the link 

Between them and us 

This could be an easy way 

To turn the Lafayette's to dead 

Two hours later, Salem leaves Madame Sarita 

My my my my my God 

Salem is looking scary 

My my my my my God 

Now he's heading for the cemetery 

Kneeling in front of one of the graves 

A handful of soil and Salem is on his way 

He must leave a copper penny as payment for the soil 

And to protect himself 

From all the spirits that could 

Come and dig themselves into his head 

Dead dead dead, Salem is here 

By the house, in the dark 

There is a shadow digging 

The snake in the bottle 

Is buried and it's ready 

Salem is moving without a sound 

Everyone's sleeping, but me 

'Cause I don't need it, no
