Castillo Del Mortes (shermann) Lyrics - Mercyful Fate

Somewhere in ancient Spain 

Close to what was Baecula 

There lay Castillo Del Mortes 

To be known as 'House of the dead' 

Oh, no, oh, not here 

A fool was playing with magic 

Magic he did not understand 

He opened the unholy gates 

Letting out the ancient ones from hell 

Six hundred people 

Standing on the castle walls 

Screaming for mercy 

Someone must have heard their calls 

Six hundred people 

Wondering what's going on 

Two armies in the sky 

Forming and in battle line 

Hear the battle cries 

Seven cohorts of angels 

Fighting for the elders to win 

Seven cohorts of angels 

Fighting for the people within 

The 'House of the dead' 

Soon to be buried in sin 

Nine units of demons 

The ancient ones command 

Nine units of demons 

The ancient ones will stand 

The 'House of the dead' 

Will soon be buried in sin 

Six hundred were watching in horror 

As they began to fight 

None of the armies were using a weapon 

As it is known to man 

Demons and angels were falling in numbers 

Out of the burning sky, the burning sky 

Retreat, retreat, oh, the angels flee 

Defeat, defeat, the battle's over, it's done 

Somewhere in ancient Spain 

Close to what was Baecula 

There lay the battleground 

Where many an angel was slain 

[Incomprehensible] 

Nine units of demons 

Bringing unbearable sin 

Nine units of demons 

Coming for the people within 

The 'House of the dead' 

Will soon live up to its name 

Six hundred people 

Running deep inside 

Six hundred people 

Trying to hide 

From the ancient ones 

But there's nowhere to run on this day 

There is no need to speak of the horrible fate 

Bestowed upon the six hundred from Baecula
