Mercyful Fate – A Dangerous Meeting

"A Dangerous Meeting" as written by Kim Bendix Petersen and Hank Shermann....
Tonight the circle is meeting again
Who will be the first to fall in trance
In here nobody is sensing the rain
Tonight the spirit will glance
So as they're approaching ghostly hour
Seven people here are joining hands
They think they know the spirit to appear
Contact, the table starts to dance
Time is standing still
It's a dangerous meeting
They're gonna get themselves killed

Tonight the circle is broken forever
Seven people dead within a trance
In here nobody is sensing the rain
Tonight seven souls are reaching hell
Time was standing still
The meeting is over
Their journey is on
Oh, they should have known
Not to play with the powers of Hell
Some people have lost their way
Some people have lost their mind

    General CommentThis song is the only reason I bought this CD. It's awesome. King Diamond is a little fucked up though, I don't care so much for the Satan fascination, but the song itself is incredible.

    General Commentalong with gypsy and come to the sabbath, this is mercyful fates best song. The riff between the lines "Not to play with the powers of hell" and "some people have lost their way" is the scariest i ever heard even though black sabbath have a similar on children of the grave and judas priest on stained class

    General CommentI think Hoooligan almost had it but I think it was black magic or something of that sort. Maybe they were calling the Devil?
    Either way, Awesome song

    General Commenti definitely agree this song is about the invocation of a demon. it seems as though they got the devil. or close too.
    seances are actually pretty dangerous meetings
