Mandrake Lyrics - Dead Again - Mercyful Fate

Poisonous Mandrake 

You dangerous root 

One of the three fares 

When a man's time has come 

You look so human 

So different from any other plant 

You look so human 

That the devil might take you for a man 

White Mandragora 

With your root so thick, you are the male 

Black as the night on the outside 

Inside you're like a moon 

You look so human 

So different from any other plant 

You look so human 

That the devil might take you for a man 

Your leaves spread out 

So close to the ground 

Mandrake root 

Your berries are just like the sun 

Mandrake root 

As a female your root will be forked 

Your juice has been known 

To take away lives 

'Cause insanity 

Am I losing my mind? 

In the olden days it was believed 

That in the dark night you had to 

Tie a string from the neck of a 

Black dog to the Mandrake root 

Then move away, move away 

And with meat you must lure the dog 

To pull the Mandrake root from the ground 

Cover your ears 

'Cause the cry of the Mandrake root 

No man has ever survived 

The dog will surely die 

White Mandragora 

With your root so thick, you are the male 

Black as the night on the outside 

Inside you're like a moon 

You look so human 

So different from any other plant 

You look so human 

That the devil might take you for a man 

Your leaves spread out 

So close to the ground 

Mandrake root 

Your berries are just like the sun 

Mandrake root 

As a female your root will be forked 

Your juice has been known 

To take away lives 

'Cause insanity 

Am I losing my mind? 

Mandrake root 

Bring me your poisonous love 

Mandrake root 

I need you to bring me that love 

Mandrake root 

Mandrake root, bring me love 

Mandrake root 

Bring me that poisonous thing 

That everyone is calling love
