Lyrics Mercyful Fate – The Oath
Text:
By the symbol of the creator, I swear henceforth to be
A faithful servant of his most puissant arch-angel
The Prince Lucifer
Whom the creator designated as his regent
I deny Jesus Christ, the deceiver
And I abjure the Christian faith
Holding in contempt all of its works
As a being now possessed of a human body
In this world I swear to give my full allegiance
To its lawful master, to worship him
Our Lord, oh Satan, and no other
In the name of Satan, the ruler of Earth
Open wide the gates of Hell and come forth from the abyss
By these names: Satan, Leviathan, Belial, Lucifer
I will kiss the goat
I swear to give my mind, my body and soul unreservedly
To the furtherance of our Lord Satan’s designs
Do what thou wilt, shall be the whole of the law
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be
World without end. Amen.
