Mercyful Fate - Holy Water lyrics

(Music: Diamond/Lyrics: Diamond)

I don't want that holy water, it makes me burn

I don't want that holy water, I guess I'll never learn

I'd rather drink from the Devil's well

And then I'll go to hell

I'd rather drink from the Devil's well

And then I will go straight to hell, Oh yeah

High on the mountain of Poltersberg there is a quiet lake

They say it's full of demons, that Satan keeps them there

Wash away your darkest sins, if that's what you believe

But keep in mind that if you do, who is it you deceive?

Cast a stone into this lake and soon a storm will rise

And suck out all the demons, up into the sky

Wash away your darkest sins, if that's what you believe

But keep in mind that if you do, who is it you deceive?

SOLO: Shermann

Oh holy water...holy water

I don't want that holy water, it makes me burn

I don't want that holy water, I guess I'll never learn

I'd rather drink from the Devil's well

And then I'll go to hell

I'd rather drink from the Devil's well

And then I will go straight to hell, Oh yeah

SOLO: Denner

Deep in the vally of Blankenstein there is a sacred pool

They say that you can drink this water

It's cleansing of the soul

Wash away your darkest sins, if that's what you believe

But keep in mind that if you do, who is it you deceive?

I don't want that holy water, no..no..no..no..no

It makes me burn inside

I don't want that holy water, oh..no..

SOLO: Shermann
