Emperor - Gypsy

The 1999 and 2004 remasters include 2 bonus tracks, this is one of them.

This song is a cover of Mercyful Fate's version, which appears on the old yet famous Don't Break The Oath album, released in 1984.

Lyrics:

This magic winter night I see a light
Again I hear that tune, some sort of croon

Oh no no no, oh my brain

I see them gypsy wagons left in the snow
Oh I must see that lady, I have to know
Gypsy woman let me inside

They say you know the secret, secret of time
So gaze into your crystal and tell me all
you see

Gypsy Woman let me know

"Oh my son you were never gone
You are the Devil's child, and so am I"

Gypsy now I know you're not my mother
You are a part of my soul, it's clear for all to see

Oh no no no, I am you
Gypsy you're inside of me

@protoaeon888 How can you like only black metal?? You think Bathory woke up 1 day and said black metal time uhh no lotta of other influence there. In fact im positive Quorthron cited Venom and Mercyful Fate as influences, so you can't say---you know what forget it

My mother shouted at me to turn it off, cos she thought this album was shit :(

[brnleague99]

Oh Gypsy now I know you're not my mother...you are a part of my soul, it's clear for all to see...

@nilzardo I don't think, "insulting people for retards," is correct English there professor. You must have been referring to Alabama trailer park English though.

[Gefuehlsduselei]

I hope King Diamond heard this.

@protoaeon888 Fuck off. If you're going to start talking bullshit and insulting people for retards then at least use correct English.

@LSDeathrow Like Ihsahn said on the song Grey, "When all is dark, there are no points of reference". protoaeons attitude is exactly what Ihsahn didn't like about the black metal scene.

And great cover.
