about this song
The song "Evil" by Mercyful Fate explores themes of darkness, death, and sadistic pleasure. The lyrics depict the speaker as someone who was born in a cemetery and raised from their grave by the dead, making them a servant of evil. The speaker revels in their position as a merciless soldier of Hell and claims to be the "king of pain" and "insane." The chorus reveals the perverse pleasure the speaker derives from the suffering of others, particularly the person addressed in the song.
