King Diamond - Cross Of Baron Samedi (D Standard Tuning)

Track 12 from the "Voodoo" album, pitched a whole step down.

(Music & Lyrics by Kim Bendix Petersen)

One single hour, is like a working day -
Father Malone is getting tired...
Darkness... has come again -
The Demons seem to be resting...
Sarah... is looking just like Hell -
There ain't much left of her to save now...

Meanwhile, in Salem's quarters -
There's a shadow that moves...
Into a room full of secrets of life -
Into a room only few have survived...

There is a cross upon the wall -
The cross of Baron Samedi...
The shadow is taking the cross away -
The shadow is Lula, the girl that no one ever sees...

I see her shadow, with that cross of mine -
I see her shadow, slipping into the night...

The cross of Baron Samedi will set us free -
The cross of Baron Samedi, just wait and see!

(Lead - Simonsen)

The cross of Baron Samedi is full of nails...
The cross of Baron Samedi could split your head!

Take it to Sarah... Take it to Sarah... Sarah!

Darkness.. she's up again -
Sarah is standing in front of Father Malone...
Sleeping.. the Father's on a chair -
Sarah is saying: "Father, I'm about to sin"...

Then one to the Father's head -
The cross is coming down so hard...
Screaming, bleeding, Malone goes down -
Again and... again and... his blood is all around...

(Lead - LaRocque)

In comes Grandpa -
"Stop it, Sarah stop!"
I don't know why, but Sarah dropped the cross...
Two hours later everyone was here -
Police and ambulance, wiping up the tears...

(Lead - Simonsen)

Samedi... Samedi... Samedi...Samedi...Samedi...Samedi...
