The Ritual Lyrics - The Puppet Master - King Diamond

As I look into the eyes of Victoria 

Enter the Puppet Master and his wife 

I can't speak...I'm in shock... 

Human skulls, ancient books 

A strange symbol on the wall, black candles burning low 

In the gloomy light, I see an altar in white 

Oh, what is it for? It must be a Ritual 

In glass jars, up on shelves 

I see liquid dark as Hell, there's one for every Puppet 

I hear the Master's voice, magic words from ancient times 

I'm feeling strange inside 

Oh...as if something has taken my mind 

[solo: Andy] 

I hear the Master's voice, magic words from ancient times 

I'm feeling strange inside 

Oh...as if something has taken my mind 

In panic, I kick the shelf.. with all the jars 

One of them falls from high above.. to the floor 

RED!! Oh so Red...it's BLOOD 

"How dare you disturb my work"? 

Demon skull, red as Blood 

It's in the symbol on the wall, there's something deadly wrong 

I feel a sting in my eyes, as they're given eternal life 

All because of the Blood on the floor, interrupted Ritual 

[solo: Mike] 

I hear the Master's voice, magic words from ancient times 

I'm feeling strange inside 

Oh...as if something has taken my mind 

He lures away my soul, from its shelter and into the cold 

To him my soul is gold 

Trading souls with this Demon is something he knows 

As well as Hell 

Magic life.. is his return 

Pain.. in my skin, SIN... 

I feel some kind of Magic...inside
