Macabre (Pentagram) – Be Forewarned (1972 single)

From the Be Forewarned/Lazy Lady 1972 single
Story goes.. “We had a pure Spinal Tap moment with this single: the band had gathered at Bobby’s parents’ apartment and our manager Phil Knudsen walked in with the boxes of our very first single. We excitedly looked at it and couldn’t believe our eyes: the pressing plant had misspelled our name “Macbre,” leaving out the middle “a” and this became the first of many incidents that would almost indicate a curse upon the band. This became known as the “Mac-bree” single…” -Geof O’keefe

Lyrics:

As I awake
In the darkness
And I look around
There is no sound
It’s so tranquil
It’s so calm like you
But now I hear a noise
Is there any way to out of this nightmare
I’m alone now
And you’re laughing at me
But I take life
In a way that you could never see
So if you’re leaving
You better let me know
‘Cause I’ve already started my plan
And I’m never gonna let you go no no
Lord, I’ve lived on the dark side of the moon
And I’ve been to the heart of the sun
I’ve gone to bed with many ladies
Killed many a man
Before my 16th year was done

So you be forewarned, ‘Cause I’m comin’ after you
When I catch ya, Lord, I’m gonna never gonna let you go

Some say I’m an advocate of Lucifer
Some say I’m a child of god – yes, they do
Some people think I’ve got the nine lives of a cat
Others say I’m filthy as a dog, a wretched dog

So you be forewarned, I’ll come prowling after you
When I catch ya, Lord, I’m never gonna let you go

So you be forewarned, I’m comin’ right up on your trail
And when I catch ya, Lord, I’m never gonna let you go
