Sleepless Nights
Mercyful Fate / King Diamond Lyrics

I cannot sleep at night
I am unable to find rest during the night

That's what the day is for anyway
The day is meant for staying awake while the night is for sleeping

And as the clock strikes midnight
When it is exactly twelve o'clock at midnight

I hear them dancing at the graves
I can hear them having a celebration at the graves

Singing to my mind
Their voices are strongly affecting my thoughts

Killing the pain . . . sleepless nights . . . sleepless nights
Their chanting and dancing is helping me to forget about my insomnia

Only they can let us meet
They are the only ones who can give me the opportunity to see her again

Even though she's dead now
Despite the fact that she has passed away

I gotta see her again . . . sleepless nights . . . sleepless nights
I am willing to suffer through my insomnia if it means I can be reunited with her

I will do anything to see missy again
I am willing to go to any lengths to see missy once more

Then let us make you an eternal deal
We can offer you a permanent agreement

You will attend to the graves
You will be responsible for the upkeep of the graves

You'll give us the house back and keep in mind
In exchange, we will take possession of the house and you must remember

That we only come here at night.
That we only come to the house during the night

So we made the deal under the starry night and
We made the agreement while under the stars and

Amon belongs to them now . . .
Amon, a being from another plane of existence, is now under their control

I feel the dawn coming my way
I sense that the sun will soon rise

And as the sun breaks up the dark
As the sunlight starts to fill the area and chase away the darkness

I can't hear them dance no more
I no longer hear the sounds of their celebration

There's no voices
There is complete silence

Killing the pain . . . pain . . . pain
The silence is bringing back my insomnia and mental anguish
