King Diamond Album

A little later in the day Mother and the Doctor went away
They left me lying on the floor
Heading for local church, no a trace of guilt in their eyes
The reverend Sammael, the venom of GOD himself
And so easy to convert

Conspiracy, I'm being victimized again

Knocking at the preacher's door
none of them were ever here before
Sammael, GOD in his eyes, leads them into the silent room
Oh such a holy gloom

[Doctor:] "Priest, do You remember King, the loony one
the one who killed his Grandma' up on the hill?"
[Priest:] "Yes I do"

Conspiracy

[Doctor:] "Now he's back, the loony one"

Talking to the preacher for a while
the Doctor turned him into a child
Sammael, GOD in his eyes, swallowed everything the Doctor said
Oh in the gloom of the night

[Priest:] "From what You tell Me we cannot save him
It could be Satan himselfg or some evil demon
Let us not waste any time, the demon might twist our minds
We must go and do what must be done"

Conspiracy, I am being victimized again...victimized

So they left the church, conspiracy of the cursed
Through the dark and the rain, the priest was mildly insane
A crucifix in his hand...Oh no...

[Doctor:] "Soon the house belongs to us My dear
and King will be gone forever, isn't it just heaven?"

Jeanne D'basson, You stand accused before the burning court
for practising witchcraft. Do you confess? We have ways
to make You talk How do You plead?

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

[La Reymie:]
Lead the witch to the dungeon for the test...
bring out the glowing pins. Do it now

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

[La Reymie:]
Oh Jeanne, you feel so good

La Reymie is touching her body
Wringled fingers all over her

[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 need'es into her skin yeah
In the dungeon blood is everywhere
Clowing need'es, need'es and pins yeah
She's getting weaker, no more pain to feel

[La Reymie:]
We will never believe in You
so you better repent Your sins now

We are the servants of GOD, we believe in the devil
and we've found his mark on You, confess witch

Thoushalt not suffer a witch to live
who soever lieth with a beast shall surely be put the death

[Jeanne:]
Never did I lie with any beast of thine
dogs or cats or goats, now leave My soul alone

[La Reymie:]
He that sacrificeth unto any god save the lord only
he shall be utterly destroyed

[Jeanne:]
'Now I hear, deceiving, lying tongues
never have I done no harm to anyone

But they dis not turn her loose
Horns and tails and cloven hoof
Can You tell Me where's the proof

I don't know if I'm dead or alive
All I know is I'm running out of time
Oh, I'm leaving my body... Oh, leaving it behind

From the other side, looking down I know that it's me
From the other side, looking fown it's the devil I see

Someone down there is saving my life
I see a tear being shed by THE EYE
Oh, I'm drifting much higher... Oh, into the light

From the other side, looking down I know that it's me
From the other side, looking fown it's the devil I see

I see the strangest faces
Faces that I've never seen before
They see me through empty spaces
Spaces that do not exist no more

I swear by the moon and the devil
I'll be thier guardian if they will be mine

There's a demon with red glowing eyes
He's invading the body that was mine
Oh, is there still time... Oh, Time to return

From the other side, looking down I know that it's me
From the other side, looking fown it's the devil I see

I guess I wasn't ready yet
'Cause someone there is calling me back from the dead

Demon, demon, are you there
Demon, demon, leave my lair

From the other side, looking down I know that it's me
From the other side, looking fown it's the devil I see
WAKE UP!

Back...in the tomb, Lucy is sitting on the floor
I...am, I am standind by the door

The door to freedom...the door that I shut so close
And as I take another look at my mind
I seem to think the sun has arrived...No

McKenzie you better realize, now it's just you and I

Back...against the wall
McKenzie's on the stone cold floor
Hands...tied together, nowhere to go for Mr. Mayor

The door to freedom...the door that I shut so close
And as I take another look at my mind
I seem to think the sun has arrived

[SOLO: Andy]

This court is now in session

You stand accused of child abuse
Of stealing innocence and freedom too

I am the only Judge, I am the only Jury
I am your lawyer too, so tell me what to do

What's it gonna be ?
Are you guilty or are you GUILTY!!!
Yes, you just go ahead and cry

[SOLO: Herb]

Back...against the wall
McKenzie's on the stone cold floor
Hands...tied together, nowhere to go for Mr. Mayor

The door to freedom...the door that I shut so close
And as I take another look at my mind
I seem to think the sun has arrived

But Oh No...There is no sun here
There's only darkness... ... ...

I, the Jury and the Judge
Find you guilty of stealing the innocence of a child
And therefore we sentence you to die slowly, die
Die die die die die die die.....

have been in here for way too long
And as I walk the halls at night
I see the other inmates hiding from my eyes

This is for the mentally ill
For those who have lost the will

I have seen the sickness of all mankind
And as I walk the halls at night
I see the other inmates hiding from my eyes

This is for the mentally ill
For those who have lost the will

Black Hill Sanitarium... They're driving me crazy
Black Hill Sanitarium... They're driving me crazy here

Gotta get out of here... Gotta erase the fear
Gotta get out of here... No more silent tears
Gotta get out of here... No more silent tears

[SOLO: Herb]

Black Hill Sanitarium... They're driving me crazy

[SOLO: Andy]

I am going down, deep into the black of my mind
I've had enough
Therapy in little rooms, I'm lying down in my cocoon
Nothing here could end too soon, I'm lying down
Oh God, I hate those men in white

Oh, those men in white, sticking needles in my mind

And as I walk the halls at night
I see the other inmates hiding from my eyes

This is for the mentally ill
For those who have lost the will

Black Hill Sanitarium... They're driving me crazy
Black Hill Sanitarium... They're driving me crazy here

Gotta get out of here... Gotta erase the fear
Gotta get out of here... No more silent tears

Some would say there is trouble in my home
Even when I am alone
Some would say there is always someone home
Even though I might be gone

Speak to me my friend, I know you're there
Speak to me my friend... speak to me... SPEAK TO ME!

I can always feel it's there, creeping one step behind me
Cold hands in the night, I know that it's watching me
The Poltergeist living in my home
Could be a friend or foe
The Poltergeist living in my home
Could be a friend for life, or a foe until the night I die

Speak to me my friend, let me hear your tounge
Speak to me my friend... speak to me... SPEAK TO ME!

Speak to me my friend, I know you're there
Speak to me my friend... speak to me... SPEAK TO ME!

My guests can never tell when it's creeping up to touch them
They will never ever know our game
Until they feel it and scream

The Poltergeist living in my home
Could be a friend or foe
The Poltergeist living in my home
Could be a friend for life, or a foe until the night I die

Speak to me my friend, we are one and the same
Now that you're living here... Welcome home...
Welcome home...
You can stay forever.

Oh It's Halloween
Every Night To Me Is Halloween
Like An Ancient Scene
You Know Just What I Mean

Halloween You Are My Pride
Halloween Not Just A Dream

The Moon Is Full, Another Perfect Day Has Began
Like A Demon's Eye, That Devil's Eye
Will We Ever Die
[Solo: Mike]
Halloween You Are My Pride
Halloween Not Just A Dream
[Solo: Andy]
Every Night Will Be Another Evil Scene
Like In Horror Dreams I Want
I Command You To Scream

Halloween You Are My Pride
Halloween Not Just A Dream

Halloween...Halloween...

At midnight, an hour from now... they're gonna flick the switch
Down the Hall, beyond the iron door... they're gonna end my life
I will see you all in Hell, isn't that where we all must go?
I will not tell you what I did... It doesn't matter now
I will not tell you how weird it is
To know exactly when you're gonna go

I am a killer
I'm gonna get what I deserve
I am a killer
They're gonna fry my each and every nerve

It is not the soul I sell, it's not the pain from hell
It is not the fear of dying, of that I was never afraid

I will see you all in hell, isn't that where we all must go?
Gazing at the iron door, while time is slipping away
What's really driving me insane
Is what to do with my final hour

I am a killer
I'm gonna get what I deserve
I am a killer
They're gonna fry my each and every nerve

I've got less than an hour to kill
I'm looking back at the life I've had to live
What a waste... what a mess
I should have never been born...

I hear them coming down the hall
I know they're coming for me
I don't need that silly Priest
Oh, just get on with the show

I am a killer
I'm gonna get what I deserve
I am a killer
They're gonna fry my each and every nerve

It's time...

Once inside, everything would change before my eyes
No more decay
Glorious beauty had taken its place
But in horror... I watched as the wolf... began its
skin to shed
I grabbed a silver crucifix expecting evil to be next
To the floor it fell, the crucifix, the wolf was no
more a beast
Instead a lady only dreams can create
Creeping deep into the heart I never had
"I'll love you forever... never leave"
It was love at first sight, in true love there is no
wrong or right
I didn't care from where she came, just her name...
Angel
Then a kiss, soft and warm, my love, am I really not
alone?
Nights of heavenly sin, in the House of God, I
found... true love
Nights of heavenly sin, in the House of God, I
found... true love
"Plenty of Food and wine, so we laughed and we dined"
"We made love in the holiest of places, all the
passion
it made us crazy"
"I'll love you forever... never leave"
To the floor it fell, the crucifix, the wolf was no
more a beast
Instead a lady only dreams can create
Creeping deep into the heart I never had
I didn't care from where she came, just her name...
Angel
Then a kiss, soft and warm, my love, am I really not
alone?
Nights of heavenly sin, in the House of God, I
found... true love
Nights of heavenly sin, in the House of God, I
found... true love
Angel... Angel... Angel... Angel where are you now?

Welcome My Friend, My Name Is Charon
Please Take My Hand, I Know The Secret Land

To the morgue... Take him to the morgue
To the morgue... Take him to the morgue

At Devil Lake Sanitarium
Many a patient had died in vain
Never a question to be asked, no no
Never a thing to explain
So they took his bones and skin
To the morgue in the West Wing
It was clear to Dr. Eastmann
Harry had died of fright
If he had cared he would have found the spider
Laying eggs in Harry's neck

The smoldering eyes in Harry's head
Had become the home of spiders instead

To the morgue... Take him to the morgue
To the morgue... Take him to the morgue
To the morgue... We must all go to the morgue
To the morgue... We must all go to the morgue

Deep down below the ground
Where it was kind of cold and damp
Too many stiffs to be fit in the cooler
Gathering dust in the hallways of Death

The smoldering eyes in Harry's head
Had become the home of spiders instead

Spiders here... Spider's everywhere
Spiders feeding the dead to thier young
Spiders here... Spider's everywhere
Spiders using the dead for thier home

Spiders... they're growing like rats from the plague
Spiders... there's so many more everyday

Summer is coming to an end
And the celler in the morgue is a nest now
One thousand poisonous creatures
Eight thousand poisonous legs!

The smoldering eyes in Harry's head
Had become the home of spiders instead

To the morgue... We must all go to the morgue
To the morgue... We must all go to the morgue
