Mercyful Fate is a Danish heavy metal band, and helped inspire black metal (by playing a form of speed metal that introduced black metal elements). The band was founded in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1980 from the ashes of Hank Shermann's band Brats' and King Diamond's band Black Rose. Shortly thereafter, in the Spring of 1981 they helped out a fellow Dane, Michael Denner, with demos for his band Danger Zone. Soon it was apparent that Shermann, Denner, Diamond and Denner's bassplayer, Timi Grabber, fit well together as a unit and those players performed under the Mercyful Fate moniker for the first time in Denmark. There were the usual member changes for a young band; Denner left and then returned and drummers came and went, but finally Kim Ruzz established himself as the drummer.

Burn In Hell Lyrics
Mercyful Fate
All your sins are forgiven
In the name of jesus in heaven...ahhh
There you stood with your soul in your hand
Thinking...that God would understand
Satan take him to where you dwell
Satan take him to burn in hell
Always were a believer
You never thought of God as the deceiver...ahhh
There you stood with your soul in your hand
Thinking...that God would understand
Satan take him to where you dwell
Satan take him to burn in hell
Burn in hell...drown in my wishing well
Burn in hell...drown in my wishing well
Where is your jesus now,jesus in heaven
Where is your saviour of all
Hes executing your soul
Burn in hell...drown in my wishing well
Jesus and satan hand in hand
Leading you down the stairway to the damned
No more pearly gates for you
Eternal flames,wondering who is who...ahhh
Burn in hell...drown in my wishing well
Burn in hell...drown in my wishing well
Where is your jesus now,jesus in heaven
Where is your saviour of all
Hes executing your soul
Burn in hell...burn in hell
