Satan's Fall Lyrics

They're walking by the night
The moon has frozen blue
Long black coats a shelter for the rain
Their load must get through

Now bats are leaving their trees
They're joining the call
Seven satanic Hell preachers
Heading for the hall

Bringing the blood of a newborn child
Got to succeed, if not it's Satan's fall

Home... Come home
Evil messengers with blood stained wings
Home... Come home
Home... Come home

Is it Satan's fall?

No... It's Satan's call

Craniums high on stakes
It's Satan's epigraph
Something you can't erase... 666
They call him the beast

Use your demon eyes, uncover the disguise
Time is out.. Yeah, I don't need your god
Oh the law of Satan
Pray and obey it forever
Oh the law of Satan

Innocent lovers...it's a lie

Iron fists won't do no good against the evil eyes
Of seven holy Hell preachers, don't you even try
Now they cross the river Styx and see the castle rise
So high

Waiting on the other shore for Charon to arrive
A shape with horns and glowing eyes, Satanrs still alive
He receives the sacrifice with evil laughs and pride
You better escape, you've got to escape
You cannot escape

Man, this song is a beast. It's more blasphemous than Black Funeral (is that's even possible?), but only because it plays fo 11:23, whereas Black Funeral only plays for 2:50. The blasphemity of Black Funeral is more concentrated, whereas this song has it sprawling out in an 11 minute, epic, symphony of demonic metal. Obviously about some kind of evil sacrafice.

"Obviously about some kind of evil sacrafice." Here's what happens when people just quickly read the lyrics trough. The whole song is about discovering The Satanic Bible. The message is really hidden I know, but if you have red the book, you can see it.

In my opinion this is the best song of Melissa record, and possibly best MF song.

I think King Diamond is talking about the bible, and how Christianity has done many EVIL things in the name of God. It makes more sense to see it as doing it in the name of SATAN, not God. As you guys should know, Christianity's beliefs ARE NOT Jesus' beliefs.

Yo!

Just been trawling through the attic... Finding all my old vinyl and stuff... Lo and behold, all my MF vinyl! Some of which is lamentably scratched/played to death. Out pops Melissa, imo amongst the best of that era's metal - and also perhaps my fave of the MF albums. Man, memories of the past... Time to annoy the neighbours :) sigh hey, i maybe an old(er) rocker but i think this album still kicks some serious butt...! Crikey, now where the hell is The Oath, etc...
