This song describes some kind of ritual, probably inspired by Mustaine’s involvement with witchcraft at this stage in his career. The last several verses are from the point of view of Satan claiming the soul of someone who has made a deal with the Devil.
The Conjuring Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Welcome to our sanguinary sect of worship
Feel at home in our black conventicle
As we anathematise all those who oppose us
[Chorus]
Don't summon the devil, don't call the priests
If you need the strength, the conjuring
Obey!
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Behold, the flames rise from the compass' cardinal points
Burn the sacred oil, and with the ashes you'll anoint
Arrange the symbols of the wizard and magician
Light the candles, place the parchment paper in position
Between its leaves place the lash from a black cat's eye
A straw of a broom, fold, and burn, and centralize
[Chorus]
Don't summon the devil, don't call the priests
If you need the strength, then conjure me
[Verse 3]
I am the devil's advocate, salesman if you will
You know my name, you know my name
I met your father years ago, I gave him what he'd please
He called my name, and you'll do the same
I'm claiming what is mine by right, it's time to close the deal
You're bought and sold, bought and sold
Come join me in my infernal depths, Mephisto's hall of fame
I've got your soul, I've got your soul
[Outro]
The conjuring
Obey!

I’ve had to go through a lot of spiritual healing to get clean. I don’t think people really realize how intense that stuff is and...
