Melissa Lyrics
Melissa
I'm kneeling in front of the altar
Satan's cross upon the wall
Strange emptiness, a crystal ball between two candles
Melissa, you were mine
Melissa, you were the light
She was a witch
Why did they take you away?
Melissa, you were the queen of the night
Melissa, you were my light
I swear revenge on the priest
The priest my die
He must die in the name of Hell
Melissa, can you hear me?
Melissa, are you there?
Nothing is left outside at the stake
They're taken her away from me
Satan's cross upon the wall
Strange emptiness, a crystal ball between two candles
Melissa, you were the light
Why did they take you away?
Melissa, you were my light
I swear revenge on the priest
The priest my die
He must die in the name of Hell
Melissa, are you there?
They're taken her away from me

This is my favorite character. Melissa. There's like 3 songs. She was a witch (obviously) who was burned at the stake and he (King Diamond's character?) wanted to take revenge on the preist who killed her.
yeah i like this song too... mostly because of the way he screams my name... (melissa) it just sounds so hot. :] i love it.
these lyrics are missing "melissa has entered another life" after the "between two candles" part...
but this is definitely my first and favourite mercyful fate song. isnt king diamond's microphone handle made out of two human femurs?
JazzButcher, yes he had a microphone handle made out of human femurs. He also had a skull named Melissa (inspired by the witch) but I think that got stolen
