| 1. A Corpse Without Soul
Listen, I'm a corpse, I'm a corpse, i'm a corpse without soul
Satan, he's taken, he's taken, he's taken his toll
and he took it out on me
I, I'm trapped, I'm trapped, I'm trapped in his spell
Tonight, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going to Hell, inside his spell
I was  |

Итак, в далеком 1982 году на свет появляется первая официальная работа "Милосердной судьбы". На четырехпесенном ЕР длительностью около 22 минут датчане представили слушателям энергичный, злобный, но, в то же время, мелодичный heavy metal. Музыканты группы на этой пластинке играют еще не столь технично, как на альбомах 1983-го, и тем более, 1984-го годов. Сам же Кинг Даймонд еще почти не использует спецэффектов, хоров, наложений.
Однако уже на этом ЕР присутствует та самая зловещая (мистическая ,если кому угодно), зачаровывающая атмосфера, свойственная творениям M.F.
Заметим, что даже несмотря на невысокое качество записи - альбом записали всего за два дня (!), - на группу после выхода "Nuns Have No Fun" обратила внимание пресса, а в США журнал "Metal Mania" даже дал пластинке титул "EP года".
Конечно, рассмешить может наивная лирика о живых мертвецах и Сатане - но это, если специально искать минусы. Тем более, что есть в таких простых, без изысков текстах какая-то изюминка, как, например, в старых фильмах ужасов.
Выделить какой-то трек сложно - все они выдержаны в едином духе, поэтому рекомендуется ЕР слушать полностью. |

Emptiness in my body, I felt so alone
Small black wings on my naked back
Now guess what I saw on one of the stones, I saw my soul, in a magical haze
It was all dressed up a corpse in a wedding dress
Small black wings on my naked back
Now hear my prayer, beggin' for mercy, I'm just living to die
Satan has taken his toll
2. Nuns Have No Fun
Upon a cross a nun will be hanged, she will be raped by an evil man
Knock spikes through her hands, things won't come she won't understand
You're a nun you haven't had no fun, living your life as virgin queen
I'm gonna change it and I'll get it done, tomorrow you won't be a virgin queen
C. U. N. T. that's what you are, you're C. U. N. T. yeah
I get it up, I get it up in the dark, I make her feel I'm not a holy man
Faster breathing, she's like a shark, she wants more, I'm gonna give her my cross
Nuns have no fun, They just have their fathers and sons
But I'll give them hell, I never fail
Nuns have no fun, They just have their fathers and sons
But I'll give them hell, I never fail
I get it up, I get it up in the dark, I make her feel I'm not a holy man
Faster breathing, she's like a shark, she wants more I'm gonna give her my cross
C. U. N. T. that's what you are, you're C. U. N. T. yeah.
3. Doomed By The Living Dead
I'm back again, back in the evil night, and you're waiting Doomed by the Living Dead
Flames are rising, can’t you see you're dying?
The wolves are howlin’, a baby's cry in the distance, cold winds blowing, in the dead of night
Flames are rising can't you see you're dying?
No way to survive this evil night, if the dead won't leave you alone
So just say goodbye to all your holy angels
You're gonna die
Long black hair, face like a dead,
I am here, Satan in my head
You can't see nothing but confusing mirrors, now you feel it, it's getting nearer
Flames are rising, can't you see you're dying?
So dark in your mind, breath of Satan in your back, I can't help you cause I’m one of the dead
Flames are rising can't you see you're dying?
No way to survive this evil night, if the dead won't leave you alone
So just say goodbye to all your fuckin' angels.
4. Devil Eyes
Angel, lady in white, stay away, you know my forces, Devil eyes
I'll take you to hell, you're inside my spell, in Lucifer's mirror
And I am his killer, I'm Devil eyes
Angel, lady in white, you've had your time, now you are mine, Devil eyes
I'll take you to hell, you're inside my spell, in Lucifer's mirror
And I am his killer
Oh yeah, I'm Devil eyes, Oh yeah, I love my eyes, Oh yeah, those evil eyes, Oh yeah, I love my eyes
I'm Devil eyes
I'm gonna get you
I am heading for the gates of hell, bringing a victim, she's angel eyes
I took her to hell, in Lucifer's spell, I am his mirror
And still I'm his killer, still I'm his killer, I'm Devil eyes
Devil eyes
