Sending Of Dead
King Diamond
Lyrics
(Monday evening)
Evening, the sun is setting, silence is all you hear.
David, getting really sick, he is sweating like a pig.
The fever's got him now.
Sarah's father dear, the morning snack has put him on his back.
He should have stayed in bed!
Oh, why didn't he?
The sun is setting, silence is all you hear.
[Sarah:]
"Salem, what's going on?".
[Salem:]
"Let me tell you a story Madame.
A secret about your land, the reason for all this madness.
Let me tell you a story Madame.
The burial ground on your land is a secret voodoo stand.
If you ever destroy this sacred place, the legend says that you will die and never find your rest.
I'm telling the truth, yes I am!
If the living can't feed the dead, then the dead will come for you!".
[Sarah:]
"You better hold your tongue now, Salem.
'Cause I don't believe in ghosts".
There is only one thing left to do now and that is "Sending of dead".
The four shadows are meeting again at the cemetery gates.
Darkness is a friend, midnight will soon be here.
Everything should be ready by now for "Sending of dead".
Place the image of Saint Expedit, upside down and around.
I hear Doctor Le Croix speaking: "Let the ritual begin".
"Almighty God, father of mine, come for Sarah Lafayette.
That she may be disappeared, forever lost.
Saint Expedit, you are a saint and I'm a sinner.
I send you to find Sarah Lafayette.
Oh, ride me of her head and rid me of her soul.
Rid me of all her thoughts, rid me of her memory.
For this curse to work, Baron Samedi, Samedi, Samedi.
Send your blessing, so Sarah may be gone".
As if he was sent from the sky, Baron Samedi creeps inside the Doctor's body, speaking to Salem:
"You must bring me a sacrifice.
You must come back before midnight.
Kneel before my cross".
Salem is there.
He takes a handful of soil from each grave of the dead he wants to send into Sarah.
"Now quick, quick run back to the house.
The soil must lie where sarah sleeps".
