By the symbol of the creator, I swear
Henceforth to be
A faithful servant of his most puissant
Arch-angel
The prince lucifer
Whom the creator designated as his
Regent
And lord of this world, amen.
I deny jesus christ, the deceiver
And I abjure the christian faith
Holding in contempt all of its works
Solo: m.d. solo: h.s.
As a being now possessed of a human body
In this world I swear to give my full
Allegiance
To its lawful master, to worship him
Our lord satan, and no other
In the name of satan, the ruler of earth
Open wide the gates of hell and come forth
From the abyss
By these names: satan, leviathan, belial,
Lucifer
I will kiss the goat
Solo: h.s. solo: m.d.
I swear to give my mind, my body and
Soul unreservedly
To the furtherance of our lord satans
Designs
Do what thou wilt, shall be the whole of
The law
As it was in the beginning, is now, and
Ever shall be
World without end, amen.
Solo: h.s. - m.d.

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".
