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.

The Night Lyrics
Mercyful Fate
Old nick is by my side, I hear no evil
As I walk into the night, I see no evil
Old nick is by my side, I feel no evil
Oh... Im gonna love this night... its gonna be just fine
The two of us at midnight, a feeling of hell
The two of us at midnight...
Just him and i, were gonna spy on god
Old nick... my imaginary friend
Old nick is not what they say, here we go again
Through the dark on a snake we ride, the devils child
Oh... the moon is bright, shes oh so fine
The two of us at midnight, a feeling of hell
The two of us at midnight...
Just him and i, were gonna spy on god
Find out who he really is
Find out who she really is, the night
Find out if he really is
Find out if she really is, the night
Solo: shermann-wead
Looking through a demons eye
Were gonna spy on god
Find out if he really is
Find out if she really is
Solo: shermann
Old nick is by my side, I feel no evil
Oh... Im gonna love this night... its gonna be just fine
The two of us at midnight, a feeling of hell
The two of us at midnight...
Just him and i, were gonna spy on god
The night
Find out who he really is
Find out who she really is, the night
Find out if hee really is
Find out if she really is, the night...
