[Originally performed by Mercyful Fate]

I was born on the cemetery
Under the sign of the moon
Raised from my grave by the dead
I was made a mercenary
In the legions of hell
Now I'm king of pain, I'm insane

You know my only pleasure
Is to hear you cry
I'd love to hear you cry
I'd love to feel you die
And I'll be the first
To watch your funeral
And I'll be the last to leave
I'd love to hear you cry

And when you're down beyond the ground
I'll dig up your body again
And make love to shame
Oh lady cry, and say goodbye
Oh lady cry, and say goodbye

You've gotta say goodbye
'Cause I will eat your mind

Line by Line Meaning

I was born on the cemetery
I came into existence in the midst of the dead

Under the sign of the moon
During the time of lunar occurrence

Raised from my grave by the dead
My being was brought to life by the lifeless

I was made a mercenary
I was fashioned into a warrior

In the legions of hell
As a soldier for the domain of the devil

Now I'm king of pain, I'm insane
I have ascended to powerful suffering, and my mind is damaged

You know my only pleasure
My sole enjoyment is known to you

Is to hear you cry
It brings great satisfaction to me when tears fall from your eyes

I'd love to hear you cry
It would delight me greatly to hear your weeping

I'd love to feel you die
Experiencing your death would bring me immense pleasure
