Sending To Dead Lyrics - Singles - King Diamond

Monday evening 

Evening, the sun is setting, silence is all you hear 

David, getting really sick he is sweating like a pig 

The fever's got him now 

And Sarah's father dear, the morning snack has put him on his back 

He should have stayed in bed..oh why didn't he? 

...The sun is setting, silence is all you hear 

Sarah: "Salem, what's going on?" 

Salem: "Let me tell you a story Madame, a secret about your land 

The reason... for all madness 

Let me tell you a story Madame, the burial ground on your land 

Ia a secret voodoo stand 

If you ever destroy this sacred place 

Legend says that you will die, and never find your rest 

I'm telling the truth...Oh yes I am 

If the living can't feed the dead, then the dead will come for you 

Sarah: "You better hold your tongue now Salem 

Cause I don't believe in ghosts" 

There is only one thing left to do now 

And that is "Sending of Dead" 

The four shadows are meeting again 

At the cemetery gates, darkness is a friend 

Midnight will soon be here 

Everything should be ready by now...for "Sending of Dead" 

Place the image of Saint Expedit 

Upside down and around 

I hear Doctor le Croix speaking 

"Let the ritual begin" 

"Almight God, father of mine, come for Sarah Lafayette 

That she may be "Disappeared", forever lost 

Saint Expedit, you are a saint and I'm a sinner 

I send you to find...Sarah Lafayette 

Oh, ride me of her head and rid me of her soul 

Rid me of all her thoughts, rid me of her memory 

For this curse to work, Baron Samedi, Samedi, Samedi 

Send your blessing, so Sarah may be gone" 

As if he was sent from the sky, Baron Samedi creeps inside 

The Doctor's body..speaking to Salem 

Samedi:"You must bring me a sacrifice 

You must come back before midnight 

Kneel before my cross"... Salem is here 

He takes a handful of soil from each grave 

Of the dead he wants to send..into Sarah 

Now quick quick run back to the House 

The soil must lie where sarah sleeps
