A Corpse Without Soul Lyrics by Mercyful Fate

The Best of Mercyful Fate

1982

[Verse 1]
Listen (Listen, Listen)
I'm a corpse, I'm a corpse, I'm a corpse without soul
Satan, yeah yeah (Satan, Satan)
He's taken, he's taken, he's taken his toll
And he took it out on me

[Verse 2]
I
I'm trapped, I'm trapped, I'm trapped in his spell
Tonight
I'm going, I'm going, I'm going to Hell
Inside his spell

[Bridge]
I was walking down among the graves
I heard a cry, my shadow was gone
Emptiness in my body, I felt so alone
Small black wings on my naked back

Now guess what I saw on one of the stones
I saw my soul, in a magical haze
It was all dressed up as a corpse in a wedding dress
Small black wings on my naked back

Now hear my prayer, ahhh
Beggin' for mercy
I'm just living to die

[Verse 3]
Listen (Listen, Listen)
I'm a corpse, I'm a corpse, I'm a corpse without soul
Satan, yeah yeah (Satan, Satan)
He's taken, he's taken, he's taken his toll
And he took it out on me

[Verse 4]
I
I'm trapped, I'm trapped, I'm trapped in his spell
Tonight, yeah yeah
I'm going, I'm going, I'm going to Hell
Inside his spell

[Outro]
Satan has taken his toll
