Mercyful Fate - The Mad Arab Lyrics
pre>Part one: the visionThe son of a shepherd, abdul alhazredTravelling in the mountains, the mountains to the eastOne night before him, there stood that giant rock3 symbols carved in bloodHe built a fire at its rootTo protect him from the wolves...The mad arab... he would understandThe mad arab... it was in his hands...Later that same night, awoken by wolfen's cryThe arab cold with fear, saw the rock began to rise... riseThe son of a shepherd, abdul alhazredShivering he saw them coming, the mountain's evil priestsBlack robes came together, around the floating rock3 symbols in the darkThey all started chanting ancient songsIt was prayer in unknown tongue...The mad arab... he would understandThe mad arab... it was in his handsSolos: s/dDaggers held high to the skyThe chanting had turned to screamsFrom the pit where the rock had been8 snake-like monsters cameAnd the priests burned in red and the priest had turned their headsThe blood running from their chestsHad the arab scream in horror... giving himself awayThe mad arab... he would understandThe mad arab... it was in his handsRun down that mountain side, oh but they had seen himThe priests had caught his scentRunning faster... they're chasing himCan't go no faster... they're still behindAaaah no!!! they're closing in......to be continue... /pre>
