Mercyful Fate - Thirteen Invitations Lyrics
The mansion was right on the shoreDown by the lakeNobody had lived here beforeBut the devil himselfThirteen invitationsSent out through the nightThirteen invitationsThey would all arrive in timeThey gathered around the mansionThirteen in allThey had the same intentionNever to fallThirteen invitationsSent out through the nightThirteen invitationsPromising eternal lifeSo you want to be alive forevermoreI will turn the wheel of timeNone of you will ever have to dieI will turn the wheel of timeTurning the wheelTurning the wheel of timeBut first we must play a gameThe game of soulsSit down! dont move around!Deal those cards!They played all night till the morningLightAnd the devil, he smiled on his ownThey played all night for eternal lifeOr the chance of losing their soulsHigh will win, low is the sinThey played all night in the burningLightThe thirteen were sharing a nineHigh will win, low is the sinThe final card was in the devils handThe king of diamonds would winThey could never leave the mansionForever insideThey had lost their souls of creationBut they were aliveThirteen invitationsSent out through the nightThirteen invitationsAnd the mansion was mine
