King Diamond (Band)
The Trial (Chambre Ardente)
[Verse 1]
[Nicolas de la Reymie:]
"Jeanne Dibasson, you stand accused before the burning court for practicing witchcraft
Do you confess?
We have ways to make you talk. How do you plead?"

[Jeanne Dibasson:]
"I never did any harm to anyone. I don't believe this."

[Nicolas de la Reymie:]
"Lead the witch to the dungeon for the test
Hahaha, bring out the glowing pins and do it now."

[Guitar Solo: Pete Blakk]

[Chorus]
This is rotten to the core
Jeanne is naked on the floor
In the dungeon, they want more

[Verse 2]
[Nicolas de la Reymie:]
"Oh Jeanne, you feel so good."

La Reymie is touching her body
Wringled fingers all over her
[Nicolas de la Reymie:]
"So this is how you make with the devil?
We're gonna get you, witchy woman
We will never believe in you
So you better repent your sins now."

Sticking needles into her skin, yeah
In the dungeon, blood is everywhere
Glowing needles, needles and pins, yeah
She's getting weaker, no more pain to feel

[Nicolas de la Reymie:]
"We will never believe in you
So you better repent your sins now."

(The Devil, she inscribed Satan into her)
(She's a witch, Dibasson's a witch)

[Guitar Solo: Pete Blakk]

[Bridge]
[Nicolas de la Reymie:]
"We are the servants of God, we believe in the Devil
And we've found his mark on you, confess witch."

[Guitar Solo: Andy LaRocque]
[Verse 3]
[Nicolas de la Reymie:]
"Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live
Who soever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death."

[Jeanne Dibasson:]
"Never did I lie with any beast of thine
Dogs or cats or goats, now leave my soul alone."

[Nicolas de la Reymie:]
"He that sacrificeth unto any God save the Lord only
He shall be utterly destroyed."

[Jeanne Dibasson:]
"Now I hear, deceiving, lying tongues
Never have I done no harm to anyone."

[Guitar Solo: Pete Blakk]

[Outro]
But they did not turn her loose
Horns and tails and cloven hoof
Can you tell me, where's the proof?
(Where's the proof?)
(Where's the proof?)
(Where's the proof?)
(Where's the proof?)
(Where's the proof?)
(Where's the proof?)
(Where's the proof?)
