King Diamond - Sending Of Dead lyrics

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 this madness Let me tell you a story madame, the burial ground on your land Is 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 l am Lf the living can't feed the dead, then the dead will come for you Yeah Sarah, 'you better hold your tongue now salem 'cause l 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" Solo: andy Place the image of saint expedit Upside down and around I hear doctor le croix speaking "let the ritual begin" "almighty 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 L send you to find...sarah lafayette Oh, rid 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" Solo: herb 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 there 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
