King Diamond - The Pact

Outside the leaves are slowly falling from the trees
Black clouds are moving in, the storm is coming on
Inside the confessional, Angel and I are playing
games
I'm acting the priest, and she is the sinner of all my
dreams...
Dreams, dreams, turn into a nightmare
A sudden change on her face, her smile is gone
without a trace

"Nothing... nothing is forever", she said:
"So many things are wrong in here, so many times
I've lived in fear
A year ago... I signed a sacred pact, and if you love
me so will you"

Then she told me of the Pact, her tears were not an
act
And they were not alone, all my dreams... shattered
to the bone

I fell to my knees in prayer... but ohhh this is Hell


The Pact is so powerful, it leaves you no way out
Unless within a year, someone else will sign it in
blood
Someone to take your place, to guard this evil
church
Another wolf to roam the hills, another wolf... in for
the kill

"Nothing... nothing is forever", she said:
"So many things are wrong in here, so many times
I've lived in fear
A year ago... I signed a sacred Pact"

If I sign it now, Angel will be free to go
She must leave without her memory, no more a
wolf, but as a lady
And if I don't, then in seven days she will die before
my very eyes
Either way... I'll never see her again

If I sign then I must stay, and only leave as a wolf
for prey

"Nothing... nothing is forever", she said:
"So many things are wrong in here, so many times
I've lived in fear
A year ago... I signed a sacred Pact"

And now I'm signing it for you
