Poisonous Mandrake, you danerous root
One of the three fates, when a man's time has come
You look so human, so different from any other plant
Youlook so human, that the Devil might take you for a man
White Mandragora, with you 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
Youlook 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?
Solo: Shermann-Wead
In the olden days it was believed
That in the dark of 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
Solo: Wead
Poisonous Mandrake, you dangerous root
One of the three fates, when a man's time has come
You look so human, so different from any other plant
Youlook 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

Mercyful Fate è un gruppo heavy metal danese formatosi a Copenaghen nel 1980. Considerati pionieri del genere black metal, hanno influenzato profondamente la scena musicale successiva con il loro sound oscuro e teatrale. Il gruppo è stato fondato da King Diamond (voce) e Hank Shermann (chitarra), che si sono uniti a Michael Denner (chitarra) e Timi Hansen (basso). Il primo album, *Melissa* (1983), ha introdotto il loro stile caratterizzato da riff veloci, melodie sinfoniche e testi evocativi di demoni e magia. Curse of the Pharaohs (1984) ha consolidato la loro fama, con brani come "Evil" e "The Jackal of Hell". Dopo una pausa negli anni '90, Mercyful Fate si è riunito nel 2003 per un tour mondiale. Il gruppo ha pubblicato altri album di successo, tra cui *In the Shadows* (1987) e *Time* (1999). Mercyful Fate è noto per le performance teatrali di King Diamond, che spesso indossa costumi elaborati e si muove con energia sul palco. I loro brani più rappresentativi includono "Evil", "The Jackal of Hell", "A Dangerous Meeting" e "Black Magic Woman".
