Come To The Sabbath
King Diamond · A Dangerous Meeting [1992]
Come, come to the sabbath
Down by the ruined bridge
Witches and demons are coming
Just follow the magic call
Come, come to the sabbath
Down by the ruined bridge
Later on the master will join us
Called from the heart of Hell
And first we light up the fire
And then we hail our Lord
Two candles, a black and white
Are placed upon the altar
North, South, East and West
And so we clean the air
High priestess invoking the Devil
Infernal a names are spoken
Come to the sabbath, sabbath, sabbath
Come to the sabbath
The ceremony's proceeding
It's time to grant your wishes
And evil curse on the priest
Who took the life of Melissa
Now we must close up the ritual
Read the Enochian key
And so it will be done, Amen
Now come!
Come to the sabbath, sabbath, sabbath
Now come to the sabbath
If you say heaven, I say a castle of lies
You say forgive him, I say revenge
My sweet Satan you're the one
Down by the ruined bridge
Witches and demons are coming
Just follow the magic call
Come, come to the sabbath
Down by the ruined bridge
Later on the master will join us
Called from the heart of Hell
And first we light up the fire
And then we hail our Lord
Two candles, a black and white
Are placed upon the altar
North, South, East and West
And so we clean the air
High priestess invoking the Devil
Infernal a names are spoken
Come to the sabbath, sabbath, sabbath
Come to the sabbath
The ceremony's proceeding
It's time to grant your wishes
And evil curse on the priest
Who took the life of Melissa
Now we must close up the ritual
Read the Enochian key
And so it will be done, Amen
Now come!
Come to the sabbath, sabbath, sabbath
Now come to the sabbath
If you say heaven, I say a castle of lies
You say forgive him, I say revenge
My sweet Satan you're the one
Come To The Sabbath
King Diamond's 'Come To The Sabbath' stands as a defining track from the 1992 album 'A Dangerous Meeting,' showcasing his mastery of theatrical heavy metal. The song exemplifies the band's signature blend of operatic vocals and aggressive riffs, characteristic of Diamond's work during the early 1990s. As a staple of his discography, the recording captures the dark, dramatic atmosphere that became central to his artistic identity. It remains a powerful representation of the genre's evolution, reflecting the intense theatricality and melodic heaviness that King Diamond brought to the forefront of heavy metal music in the 1990s.
