Desecration Of Souls Lyrics - The Best Of Mercyful Fate - Mercyful Fate

Stay away white magician 

Young lovers and mourning wife 

You're not welcome on our land 

So I speak for the dead 

Magic circles drawn after midnight 

Around graves to be opened 

He'll use the wand to raise a body 

He'll ask the questions and he'll burn the remains 

It's desecration of souls in their holy lair 

Copulation in the night, two shadows upon a grave 

Screams of pleasure with screams of pain 

Young lovers, you must be insane 

It's desecration of souls in their holy lair 

So I say again, stay away, it's desecration of souls 

Dyin' flowers upon the grave of a husband who's lost his maid 

She's there on duty and the tears she cries 

They don't belong where the flowers lie 

It's desecration of souls in their holy lair 

So I say again, stay away, it's desecration of souls
