Mercyful Fate - The Mad Arab I

The Mad Arab I

             nbsp; PART ONE: THE VISION
     nbsp;
The son of a shepherd, Abdul Alhazred
Travelling in the mountains, the mountains to the east
One night before him, there stood that giant rock
             nbsp; 3 symbols carved in blood
     nbsp;
He built a fire at its root
To protect himfrom the wolves...
             nbsp; The Mad Arab... He would understand
     nbsp; The Mad Arab... It was in his hands...
     nbsp;
Later that same night, awoken by wolfens cry
The Arab cold with fear, saw the rock began to rise... Rise
The son of a shepherd, Abdul Alhazred
Shivering he saw Them coming, the mountains evil priests
Black robes came together, around the floating rock
             nbsp; 3 symbols in the dark
     nbsp;
They all started chanting ancient songs
It was prayer in unknown tongue...
             nbsp; The Mad Arab... He would understand
     nbsp; The Mad Arab... It was in his hands
     nbsp;

Daggers held high to the sky
The chanting had turned to screams
From the pit where the rock had been
8 snake-like monsters came
             nbsp; And the priests burned in red
     nbsp; And the priest had turned their heads
     nbsp;
The blood running from their chests
Had the Arab scream in horror... Giving himself away
             nbsp; The Mad Arab... He would understand
     nbsp; The Mad Arab... It was in his hands
     nbsp;
Run down that mountain side, oh but they had seen him
The priests had caught his scent
             nbsp; Running faster... Theyre chasing him
     nbsp; can not go no faster... Theyre sti will behind
     nbsp; Aaaah NO         nbsp; Theyre closing in...
