Angel of Light
Mercyful Fate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have seen Him there
Master of Light, Master of the night
Master of all the things that shine

[Chorus]
Oh I believe
I believe in all that I have seen
And I have seen the Angel Of Light
I have seen the Angel Of Light, Lucifer

I have seen Him there
Deep down where the Devils dwell
Deep down in the darkest well

[Chorus]

I will make a second deal with the Prince Of Light
Never will break the Oath I gave that night

Shine in all your glory, shine your light on me

I have seen Him there
Deep down where the Devils dwell
Deep down in the darkest well





[Chorus]

I'm a christian, yet Mercyful Fate is one of my favorite bands....i think King Diamond is one of the best frontmen out there!!!

@Erick21740

Lucifer/Angel of light is Satan's name before he fell when he was an Angel actually

@spaceace4387

Back when I was in high school people would ask me "why do you listen to satanic music", and I'd be like " I can't help it if it sounds so good"

@bonechip01

God is real, Satan is real, Mercyful Fate is real! OH I BELIEVE

@RAFAHELL52

Nobody sound like Mercyful Fate

@littlewing5539

Rafael Ceferino Maza No one sounds exactly like him. But, sometimes when I'm listening to Pantera, I notice Phil Anselmo kind of sings like him in a way. very high vocals and it just makes me think of King Diamond eveytime. listen to Message in blood by Pantera you'll see what I mean.

@luis_punisher9045

When people ask me worried why i listen to so much satanic music i say that is not my fault that its so good.
