King Diamond - Salem lyrics

At midnight that same night

The Lafayette's were sleeping

At midnight that same night

There is a shadow creeping

Salem is moving without a sound

Salem is moving, moving, moving

To the burial ground

So hot and so quiet

Only the leaves are shaking

By one of the graves

Doctor Le Croix is waiting

Salem is moving without a sound

Salem is moving, moving, moving

To the burial ground

Doctor Le Croix, shaking the hand of Salem

My my my my my God

Salem tell me the secret

My my my my my God

This makes me feel uneasy

In shock Le Croix is terrified

This could be the end

Fear turns to hate

Great Wanga will befall the Lafayette's

Salem, help me, save us

Salem, help me, save us

By turning them to dust

So take this money and off you go

To Madame Sarita's Boutique of Voodoo

A snake curse and a little 'Goofer Dust'

You Salem will be the link

Between them and us

This could be an easy way

To turn the Lafayette's to dead

Two hours later, Salem leaves Madame Sarita

My my my my my God

Salem is looking scary

My my my my my God

Now he's heading for the cemetery

Kneeling in front of one of the graves

A handful of soil and Salem is on his way

He must leave a copper penny as payment for the soil

And to protect himself

From all the spirits that could

Come and dig themselves into his head

Dead dead dead, Salem is here

By the house, in the dark

There is a shadow digging

The snake in the bottle

Is buried and it's ready

Salem is moving without a sound

Everyone's sleeping, but me

'Cause I don't need it, no
