Mercyful Fate - Welcome Princes Of Hell (Studio Version)

Mercyful Fate - Welcome Princes Of Hell from the 1984 album "Don't Break The Oath"

I turn off the lights, we like darkness
Now you call my name, you finally came
Even in the night I see the light shining bright
I'm alone with my friends

Now I see you clear, we raise our glasses
Welcome to my house, Princes of Hell
Even in the night I see the light shining bright
I'm alone with my friends

I will bring in here my crystal ball
I will gaze, you will know what is to come

Solo: Michael Denner/Hank Shermann

I'm amazed of what I've seen tonight
I won't tell a living soul, they would not believe
Welcome, Princes of Hell

Never will I break the oath I gave
I hail you again in Satan's name, Princes of Hell
Even in the night I see the light shining
bright
I'm alone with my friends
We will be back, we will be back

Also, if the original pressing of the song was a mistake, then dontcha think they would have fixed the mistake by now? I mean, all the albums for sale now, and my original vynil all have the spelling as "Princess of Hell". So, my 1984 vynil and a 2012 CD both have the same spelling; 28 years of the same mistake? Amazing how nobody in the band ever got to correcting that misprint, or the record label for that matter. Amazing!

@aquaristic I'm sitting here with my 2006 double disc of Don't Break The Oath. It is spelled "Princes", so they corrected the error on this edition. Also, if you disregard the word itself and read the lyrics, they are speaking of the demons in plural form "We will be back" "I'm alone with my friends.." So yeah, it was clearly a mistake that seems to keep being made by careless distributors.

[moonshine485]

the title is Welcome Princess Of Hell (Princess)

[TempleOfInanna2]

@moonshine485 No, it's "princes". The original pressings of the album had it mislabeled, leading many to believe that was the true name of the song.

[ScreamBloodyGore783]

Fuck yeah this song kills.

[aquaristic]

@TempleOfInanna2 Woah!

[Hellhammerabadon]

Anyway...I prefer to be visited by the "Princess" of Hell than the "princes" :P

[aquaristic]

@TempleOfInanna2 then why do all the lyrics I can find use "princess" within the song?

[axeofgod72]

@TempleOfInanna2 ... ... ... of course, only an idiot would mistake the "princess" misspelling with the actual title, "welcome, PRINCES of Hell.".... geez, i figured that out when i was 14, 26 years ago... (i'm an old metal-head.)

This would Knock the Rust off 2012 Dead Ass Radio. Where King Diamond got his Big Start. They Made two LP's as Fate after King Diamond left.
