King Diamond Album

Jonathan is dead
And Abigail is watching his wheelchair burn
The flames lick the wooden floor
Spreading to the curtains, and then the draperies on the wall
Higher and higher they go

"I am the fire... I'm eating everything
I'll bring this mansion down, through me they all must come"

Spirits flying through the air
Spirits crossing over to the other side
To rest in peace and never die again
And to be with long gone friends

The ghosts of those who lived here in the past
They will use the flames to leave this EVIL house

Abigail is watching the spirits and the flames
Dancing hand in hand around her long black dress
Oh around and around they go, until they touch
Abigail is on fire

[Solo: Mike]

Spirits flying through the air
Spirits crossing over to the other side
To rest in peace and never die again
And to be with long gone friends

[Solo: Andy]

There is no pain as Abigail is eaten by the flames
Her body starts to fade, emptiness is growing inside
Slowly she's leaving her body behind
And the spirits are right by her side

[Solo: Andy]

Oh no here she goes, her spirit is in the air
The others guide her to the flames where they all will disappear

Spirits flying through the air
Spirits crossing over to the other side
To rest in peace and never die again
And to be with long gone friends

[Theme: Andy & Kol]

But Abigail forgot one thing:
"Her own little twin"

I'd been riding hard most of the night, wooded ravines on a mountain side
My horse was getting tired... and so was I
Up there the moon was full, down here darkness ruled
The trees were so much higher than they were meant to
In what is known as "The Devil's Hide"
I knew I was not alone, and it was not that crazy moon above
Oh no... I could feel the trees have eyes
I used to know this road so well, many a time i was here before
But now it seemed so different, the road was no more
I was lost, I stopped and looked around
I had this eerie feeling, that I was being watched
In what is known as "The Devil's Hide"
I knew I was not alone, and it wasn not that crazy moon above
Oh no... I could feel the trees have eyes
Watching me
The trees have eyes, watching me
Then the sound I didn't wanna hear, howling at the moon
Eyes I didn't wanna see, I should have turned around
So much louder, the howling was chilling my bones
One wolf grown to a dozen, and here I was alone
Yellow eyes... they were everywhere... yellow eyes... as I prepared to die
Suddenly there she was, in a halo of light
Suddenly there she was, silvery black and white
The bluest magical eyes staring right into mine
Never ever had I seen in a wolf, such a beautiful beast
In what is known as "The Devil's Hide"
I knew I was not alone, and it was not that crazy moon above
Oh no,,, I could feel the trees have eyes

Yesterday as I finished the last of the seven graves
I went to call McKenzie
I woke him up in the middle of the night
You should have heard me...SURPRISE!

Oh revenge is sweet

Up and awake, McKenzie knew that I was still alive
And I have to tell you
He is the Mayor of this God forsaken town
He's Lucy's father, the man that brought me down

He is such a sick little man
He's so much sicker than me, and I am

Meet me at midnight by the cemetery gates
Meet me at midnight or your Lucy will be dead

Revenge is sweet
Revenge is sweet, I know that you agree

[SOLO: Andy]

Call me sick in the head, but I would never lie to you
I worked for the man
Mayor McKenzie is an old perverted swine
I caught him one night, molesting his own little child

Who do you think they all believed ?

[SOLO: Andy]

He is such a sick little man
He's so much sicker than me, and I am

Meet me at midnight by the cemetery gates
Meet me at midnight or your Lucy will be dead

McKenzie did you hear me?...No Lucy, she is fine
She's sleeping in her coffin
Can't wait to meet your face again

[SOLO: Herb]

He is such a sick little man
He's so much sicker than me, and I am

Meet me at midnight by the cemetery gates
Meet me at midnight or your Lucy will be dead

You could see the fire burn, you could see the colours turn
From black to no return
The night began to cry, rain from the sky
As the mansion died

Oh no... it died... oh no... it died
Deep down below, fire would not go
The crypt is still alive, listen to the child that cries

I wonder what is wrong
It's so damp... and cold... in here, could this be the home of fear
There's something in the dark, that should be left alone
As if it had a grave of it's own

[Solo: Mike]

There's a body on the floor, I hope there is no more
I think I'm stepping in blood
Too dark for me to see, a dark you only feel
Dark that always must be

I see a child... now I'm blind... where did she go? Oh no
Deep down below, fire would not go
The crypt is still alive, listen to the child that cries

Where did she go? She must have slipped into the dark again
Not too far away, I see a light
And there is Little One, standing by the wall
The lantern in her hand is lighting up the coffin on the stand
Oh...
I used to know your sister, your eternal spirit twin
Oh but Abigail was way too busy with revenge
And now you're stuck in here on your own
A lonely soul who'll never ever find a home
Oh No

She cannot find her mommy, cause mommy's in the floor
And she doesn't even know... who her mother really is... oh no

[Solo & outro solos: Andy]

Only I and a few others know who her mother really is
The Countess... The Countess... The Countess
"Mommy... Mommy..."
Oh she cannot find her mommy
"Mommy... Mommy..."
Cause she's buried in the floor
But it's NOT your mommy you're looking for

IT'S YOURSELF!!!

Same old wall, still hanging tall
Same old nail.. through my throat
Eighteen years came along
And this time I never
I never saw my Love

I'm going insane
THEY sold me to this little shop
Where I remain

Living Dead...I'm feeling like a Living Dead
Living Dead...Two blue eyes in an empty head
Dead Dead Dead

Eighteen years came along
And this time I never
I never saw my Love
This life is NOTHINGNESS
Life on a wall, time to be called back.. to the Beyond

[solos: Andy - Mike - Andy ]

There's a rumour going around and around
They say The Puppet Master
Is gonna build another theater in London Town

For Kids
Run by his son and daughter
It's gonna be a bloody mess

Living Dead...I'm feeling like a Living Dead
Living Dead, Living
Forever on the same old wall
Forever with that nail going through my throat

All the children, who see me in this shop
They are scared of me, they say I'm looking sick
My eyes follow them
Never to be sold again

Life is never fair...Life is air

"Will I ever see his eyes again
Will I ever see him again"

Where is she now... "Where is he now"...

I am sitting in the Dark, I'm with my Love
We are looking into each other's eyes
I know if THEY take her away, there is no life
Take her away and I die

"Tell me this is not goodbye"
Do you remember the Butterfly
"It made me cry"
I know...but we dried it's wings so it could fly again

[solo: Andy]

I wonder if this is the end, for You and I
I know we've got to say goodbye
I know that I would change my life.. for You
I would die for you

"I will always remember the things we used to do
All the memories I keep in here, just for me and You
With your image in my eyes
I take You with me when it's time to go"

I swear...I swear I'll find You
I'll keep on searching, searching till the end of time
"And if I can't survive without You by my side"
Then wait for me, wait for me
Wait on the other side.. I'll be there

"I can barely see You anymore"
You must remember the Butterfly, it did not die
"I Love You" ... I Love you Too
"I can't see You anymore"

Goodbye My Love

I know what You're thinking. I can see through you brain
I know what You're doing, even though I'm far away

The power I get from the chain is mine
Only I can use it
The power I get from the chain is mine
Only I can use it

It was only yesterday, thunder rolling by, breaking up the sky
And the rain was pouring down
Pounding on my brain, driving me insane
I was drinking wine again, oh yeah blame it on the wine

The curse of The Eye, it will take you back in time
If you look at The Eye, it will take you back in time

The curse of The Eye, it will take you back in time
If you look at The Eye, it will take you back in time

I know what You're thinking. I can see through you brain
I know what You're doing, even though I'm far away

I know there's a bad side to the power of the chain
I know I'll be going back in time once again

It was only the 1st of May, thunder rolling by, breaking up the sky
And the rain was pouring down
The inqusition came, I felt the pain
I had to relieve it all in just one day

The curse of The Eye, it will take you back in time
If you look at The Eye, it will take you back in time

The power I get from the chain is mine
Only I can use it

The inquisition will take her to the hill
Ready for the kill, giving GOD his will
Everybody's there, none of them will care
Not a single prayer

Burn in the night, You're the devil's child
Burn in the night, You're the devil's child

Looking at the sky, soon the girl will die
Nobody will cry, hear her screaming why?
The priests are all in line, now they give the sign
Let the fire shine

Burn in the night, You're the devil's child
Burn in the night, You're the devil's child

They say the devil is here tonight
Then let him play his violin so wild

Higher, burning higher, flames will soon devour
Higher, burning higher, the smell of skin turned sour

Higher, burning higher, her lefs are scorched by life
Ashes to ashes, I see a smile on their wicked faces

Burn in the night, You're the devil's child
Burn in the night, You're the devil's child

Lightning from the sky, magic's coming by
As her necklace flies height into her eye
The priests are all in line, now they give the sign
Let the fire die

Burned in the night, there are no remains
Burned in the night, just a magic chain

Tonight would be the last night that
we had our tea
That bloody tea, which sent us into
ecstasy
Yesterday Mother complained, feeling
dizzy, all in pain

Mother's getting weaker, looking
paler day by day

As morning came, she could not make
it out of bed
And Grandma's spell was getting
straight into her head
Not a single word, she didn't seem to
be alive

Getting weaker, looking paler day by
day

Then Missy came in and she led me by
the hand
I didn't want to go, Oh but I should
have known
Mother was barely conscious, why
should I care
Just looking forward to the next
ordeal

I think I heard My sister begging me
to stay
She gave me the phone, so I could call
someone for help
I simply let go of her hand, then I cut
the wire

Missy was crying as I left them both
behind
And Mother's getting weaker, Missy
shouted at My back
"I hate You"

Instrumental

On the following friday as I turned out
the light
Grandma' came and knocked at My
door
"Wake up King, wake up My dear
I am gonna show You about the house
of Amon"

It is time for tea, it is time again

"Even Your mother is present
We made her sleep in My rocking
chair"
At first I felt really scared but there
was no reason to
As I saw the knife sneaking out from
Grandmother's dress
Then it cut a tiny wound in My
mother's little hand

It is time for tea, it is time again

Blood was running into the tea pot,
then I heard "THEM" laugh
"A bit of this in a cup of tea, is what it
takes to set "THEM" free
You will hear "THEM" telling stories
from far beyond this earth"
What I saw and what I heard made me
want to stay and learn

I really hope this dream will never
end, it's hard to describe the kind of
feeling that went on in My mind
A paradise

Hearing "THEIR" stories and feeling
"THEIR" warmth
We laughed with tears in our eyes
From the first cup of tea, to the last
drop of blood
Nothing seemed to matter at all
anymore
My Mother? She didn't exist to me,
Oh I felt so heavenly

It is time for tea, it is time again

In the moonlight
I see children searching for thier souls
In the moonlight
Can you hear them howling on the wind
Night after night, I see them passing by
They whisper in my ear, "We know you are there."
I see no eyes, I guess they must be blind
Wish that I could lead them
To a better world than mine

In the moonlight
Not a bird is singing lullabyes
In the moonlight
I hear a churchbell ring it's evil song
Night after night, I see them passing by
They whisper in my ear, "We know you are there."
I see no eyes, I guess they must be blind
Wish that I could lead them
To a better world than mine

In the moonlight.... In the moonlight

Night after night, I see them passing by
Wish that I could lead them
To a better world than mine

In the moonight
I see children searching for thier souls
In the moonlight
I hear screams of pain from a thousand years ago

Raven spread your wings, lead the spirits to their home
Raven spread your wings, lead the spirits to their home
To their home

In the moonlight.... In the moonlight

I, O'Brian of the Black Horsemen, forbid this sacrilege
You all know that this Demon Child has Abigail's spirit
Inside
But what you don't know is
That she is the reincarnation of my stillborn half-sister
Her spirit is not EVIL, nor is it GOOD
All it wants, is to make things right again
So spare this life, through which revenge can be mine
And Abigail can find her final peace
I, O'Brian, have spoken
Let it be done"
