The Candle
(music & lyrics: King Diamond)

From "The Book of Jonah"

"7 Years Have Gone,
It Can No Longer Be Left Undone
The Candle Must Be Burn Again,
And Pain Must Follow the Unholy Flame
So Burn...Burn...Burn
And Free the Spirit From Its Chain"
Here I AM Blinded Again By That Flame
In Every Candle That I Burn, Burn !
I See That Same Face Return, It Returns
Eyes In Pain, My Little Queen Are You A Dream
In Every Candle That I Burn, Burn !
I See That Same Face Return, It Returns
Solo: Mike
Time Has Come For You To Tell The Truth,
What Shall I Do
Tears Are Running From Her Eyes
If She Could Only Tell Me Why, Tell Me Why
Solo: Mike
The Jonah...The Jonah
In Twisted Key She Speaks A Word To Me
And Then I See Her Face Falling Apart
The Word "Jonah" Is Her Mark, She's Branded
Solo: Andy

The Jonah
(music & lyrics: King Diamond)

"After 7 Years On A Dusty Shelf
The Book Seemed Unreal
For 7 Years In An Ancient Rhyme
The Fate Of A Girl Was Sealed"
In The Attic I Was Searching By The Moonlight
What Would I Find
Old And Grey From Dust I felt It Staring Back
Oh That Book
Yellow Pages Caught My Eyes, So Unreal
Through the Dust Of Time
In An Ancient Rhyme The Truth Had Been Sealed
On A Broken Shelf It Would All Be Revealed
It Had Been There For Years
And No One Ever Knew
Now Break The Spell And Free The Girl
From The Candle Of Fate
Look At The Flame And Say The Rhyme
The End Is Near, No More Pain, Ah You're Free
Solo: Mike - Andy
As The Candle Melts Away
The Spirit Of The Candle Girl
Emerges From The Flame,
She Doesn't Seem The Sme
With A Smile On Her Face She Starts To Speak
"Hear My Story:"

The Portrait
(music & lyrics: King Diamond)

The Spirit Of The Candle:
Theme: Mike
"My Mother Was Obsessed By Evil Jealousy
She Didn't Want Nobody To Even Look At Molly
She Kept Me Locked Up In This Attic 'Till I Died
Only 4 Years Old, My Story Left Untold"
Oh Molly...Oh Molly
"Mother Was Struck By This Infallible Idea
If She Could Paint My Portrait I Would Remain Immortal
And I Could Hang Downstairs Above The Fireplace
A Little Girl In Lace, Not A Single Trace Of Crime"
Solo: Andy
"Each day And Night She Worked And Autumn Turned To Spring
For Every Stroke She Painted A Little Life Was Ended
At Last I Felt So Weak I Could Not Even Speak
But In That Fatal Portrait My Spirit Came To Lfe Again"
Oh Molly
Solo: Mike - Theme: Mike
"That Night I Made The Portrait Speak In Evil Tongue:
You're Gonna Go Beyond Too, May Pain And Death Bestow You
She Grabbed A Book And Spoke Aloud An Ancient Rhyme
While She Burned The Portrait In The Candle Of Fate"
Oh Molly
"I've Gotta Se Ma"

Dressed In White
(music & lyrics: King Diamond)

Theme: Mike
She's Wearing White Again But Colours Always Betray
Don't Look Into Her Eyes, There's An Evil Darkness Inside
Theme: Mike
You Might See Her But She Is Not Here
Leave Her Alone Don't Get To Near
One Touch And You'll Disappear
What A Scream You'll Never Hear
She Carries A Secret
And Where She Must Go...You'll Never Know
Solo: Mike
She Carries A Secret
And Where She Must Go...You'll Never Know
Solo: Andy - Theme: Mike
Searching But Not For A Home
A Restless Soul All On Its Own
Always Dressed In White
As She Passes On Through The Night
She Carries A Secret
And Where She Must Go...You'll Never Know
Solo: Mike - Andy - Mike - Andy - Mike
She Carries A Secret
And Where She Must Go...You'll Never Know

Charon
(music: Michael Denner & King Diamond; lyrics: King Diamond)

Welcome My Friend, My Name Is Charon
Please Take My Hand, I Know The Secret Land
Don't Be Afraid...Oh No
I'm Faceless But Don't Fear Now
I'll Take You Safe Across The River Styx
Waste No Time, Soon The Night Will Break Away
That Boy Can Wait, There's Only Room For One
Don't Be Afraid...Oh No
I'm Faceless But Don't Fear Now
I'll Take You Safe Across The River Styx
Solo: Andy
I Am Your Death
We Must Leave Now, My Boat Is Waiting
On The Other Shore Is The Land Of The Dead

Solo: Mike

Lurking In The Dark
(msuic & lyrics: King Diamond)

Solo: Mike
When Nightfall Comes Around And The Light Of Day Is Gone
The Dark Closes In As The Last Candle Burns Out
It's Time To Send Off Your Mind On A Trip
Into The Land Of Dreams And Mist
Is Something Wrong
They Are Lurking In The Dark
Solo: Mike
Heavy Breathing But Nobody's There
If That's What You Think You'd Better Beware
Is Something Wrong
They Are Lurking In The Dark, Watching You
Solo: Andy - Solo: Mike
How Does It Feel To Be Alone In The Dark
How Do You Know They Won't Do Any Harm
They Can See You But You're Oh So Blind
Maybe It Only Appears In Your Mind
Is Something Wrong
They Are Lurking In The Dark, You'll See

Halloween
(music: King Diamond & Michael Denner; lyrics: King Diamond)

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 Begun
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...

Haunted
(music: Michael Denner & King Diamond; lyrics: King Diamond)

Stay Away, Molly's Soul Keeps Returning
Every Night To The Attic Shrine
Never Alone, Living Dolls Out Of Nowhere
Crying Out: "Mommy Why"
The House Is Forver Haunted
Nothing You Can Do
Molly Is Living There With Her Dolls
And They Are ALive...Wait And See
Solo: Mike
Stay Away, Mrs. Jane, Molly's Mother
Slowly Went...Insane
The House Is Forver Haunted
Nothing You Can Do
Molly Is Living There With Her Dolls
And They Are Alive...Wait And See
Solo: Andy
"Mommy...Mommy..."
I'll Destroy You

The Lake
(music: King Diamond; lyrics: King Diamond)

It is Sunday morning, well right before dawn
A little girl is dancing, on the mansion "porch"
She calls out a name, "God give him the sea"
I'm here from the darkest deep
And hear my name...
Down by the lake, there's the shadow of grief
Dancind hand in hand with the Devil
Watching from the bridge, the one near by the lake
Why sister Margaret? No need the hate
Yes, we all know, "light your seventh cross"
Oh please do it my dear
While you're lost
Down by the lake...
Dancing hand in hand...
(Solo)
And the nun has been seen
I want your cross
Now come and play
Sister Margaret
Follow "pry", the nun won't give in
She catched us along
Scared as Hell, the little girl is screaming
When sister Margaret disapears in the lake
Down by the lake, there's the shadow of happiness
Dancing hand in hand with the Devil

Funeral
(Music by King Diamond)

"We are gathered here tonight,
to lay to rest Abigail LaFey,
whom we now know
was first born dead
on The 7th Day of July 1777.
Abigail must be nailed to her coffin
with 7 silver spikes,
1 through each arm, hand and knee,
and let the last of the 7 be drawn through
her mouth
so that she may never rise and cause evil again
Who will be the first?"
"I O'Brian of the Black Horsemen."

Arrival
(Music by King Diamond)

LEAD INTRO: Mike
"That must be it"
THEME: Andy. SOLO: Mike.
Through the summer rain of 1845
The coach had finally arrived
To the valley where the crossroads meet below
And where all darkness seems to grow
People blame it on the Hill
The hill where no one dares to go...
The Mansion
The coach had stopped and from the window you could see
7 horsemen in the night
Miriam Natias and Jonathan LaFey
Saw the magic in their eyes
They were in for a surprise
The darkness would soon be complete
A horseman came forth from the dark
SOLO: Andy.
"We know You've come to inherit what's Yours...The Mansion
Take our advise and go back on this night
If you refuse 18 will become 9...Oh No"
Oh 18 is 9
THEME: Andy. SOLO: Mike.
Jonathan laughed and said "Get out of My way"
"I don't believe a word You say"
The 7 horsemen disapeared into the night
and said "Someday You'll need our help my friend"
I think poor Jonathan was scared
18 is actually 9...It stuck in his mind
SOLO: Andy.

A Mansion In Darkness
(Music by King Diamond and Andy La Roque)

THEME: Andy.
Riding up the alley in the rain
No lights to show the way
How could this ever be their home
Through the darkness You could only see
A giant shadow wich was to be
A house where evil ruled at night
And the shadows at the gate, they seemed to be alive
Yeah the shadows at the gate, Alive
Everything inside was left untouched
Except for what the rats had got
And the dust of time that showed its mark
Armed with candlelight and open eyes
Through the dark they fought their way
'Til every room was lit again...Again
And the house began to breathe, it seemed to be alive
Yeah the house began to breathe, Alive
THEME AND SOLO: Andy.
As the candlelight began to fade
And Jonathan said "Let's go to bed"
The fireplace had ceased to burn...Burn
Both were fast asleep before the dawn, Dreaming...Dreaming
And they did not know about the shadow
Yeah the shadow on the wall, it really came alive
Yeah the shadow on the wall, Sunrise!
SOLO: Mike.
THEME AND SOLO: Andy.

The Family Ghost
(Music by King Diamond)

SOLO: Andy.
The darkness came closer to home on the
following night
And Miriam slept like a rock when
Jonathan's face went white
The bedroom was ice cold
But the fire was burning still
The blinding light
The Family Ghost had risen again...The Ghost
"Don't be scared, Don't be scared now My Friend
I am Count de LaFey
Let me take You to the crypt down below
Where Abigail rests"
"Let Miriam sleep
She never would understand
Now come let us go...It's time to know"
SOLO: Mike - SOLO: Andy
"Beware of the slippery stairs
You could easily fall and break Your neck
Hand me that torch and I will lead the way
To the secret in the dark
Take a look into the vault, the Vault
The sarcophagus...of a child
Abigail has been in here for years and years
stillborn", Born...Born...Born
"The spirit of Abigail is inside Your Wife
and there's only one way You can stop
the rebirth of evil itself
You must take her life now"

The 7th Day of July 1777
(Music by King Diamond and Andy La Roque)

ACC. GUITAR: Andy.
Count de LaFey uncovered his cheating Wife
9 months of loving and sharing
Oh it was a bastard child
How could he have been so blind
"No bastard baby
will inherit what's mine"
Another one of her affairs
had left him in despair
So he pushed her down the stairs
to die..."No" She cried
In 1777, on the 7th Day of July
The Countess broke her neck and the
embryo came out dead
The he burned his beloved Wife
and the embryo he gave a name
"Abigail You must rest in shame" Rest in shame
SOLO: Andy
Obsessed
With a strange idea
He wanted to mummify
The girl for the future to find...and he did
SOLO: Mike.
So he pushed her down the stairs
To die..."No" She cried
In 1777, on the 7th Day of July

Omens
(Music by King Diamond)

Nobody's inside the church but the bell is ringing
For no reason the floweres are dying
Oh, Deadly Omens
Oh, Deadly Omens
Inside the mansion the air is unbearable, a rotten smell
In the dinning room the table is set for 3
Oh, Deadly Omens
Oh, Deadly Omens
SOLO: Mike - SOLO: Andy
"Miriam come here and see what I've found, it's moving
An empty cradle swaying in the air
I did not bring it in here, now did You?"
"No, no, no"
Oh, Deadly Omens
Oh, Deadly Omens

The Possession
(Music by King Diamond and Michael Denner)

On the very next morning
When the mist was eaten away by the sun
Miriam grew hour by hour and
Jonathan he cried
He knew the ghost had been telling the truth
So this was 9
The pregnancy would not last overnight
Oh she started singing
A lullaby, rocking the cradle again
And then she said
"I'm having Your baby my love...love"
But it wasn't love, Oh no
She was possessed...and he knew
SOLO: Mike
"I will get what is rightfully mine"
SOLO: Andy
Speaking with different tongues
Miriam was eaten alive from inside
Again she said
"I'm having Your baby my love...love"
But it wasn't love, Oh no
She was possessed...possessed

Abigail
(Music by King Diamond)

"Abigail, I know You're in control of her brain, Abigail
And I know that You're the one that's
speaking through her, Abigail
Miriam can You hear me"
"I am alive inside Your Wife
Miriam's dead, I am her head..."
SOLO: Mike
"Abigail, don't You think I know what
You've done, Abigail
I'll get a priest, he will know
How to get her soul back"
THEME: Mike
"Oh Jonathan, this is Miriam
Our time is out
Remember the stairs, it's the only way"
SOLO: Mike - SOLO: Andy
"Abigail, nothing I can do but give in, Abigail"
"Jonathan, I agree...Yes I do"
"I am alive inside Your Wife
Miriam's dead, I am her head...soon I'll be free!!!"

Black Horsemen
(Music by King Diamond)

SOLO: Mike
So there they stood at the top of the stairs
Miriam in the mood, Jonathan was scared
Gazing into the dark, Jonathan saw the star
For a second he turned his back
And she was there like a ghost
She him hard and clean
To the bottom of the stairs
"Now we're finally alone, Miriam
Abigail is here to stay"
The birth of Abigail would soon be realized
The second coming of a devil in disguise
And the moon did not shine
It was darker than ever before
On this sacred night
The soul of Miriam was crying out in pain
Remembering the day, arrival in the rain
The pain of labour was so strong that Miriam died
The final seeing was a pair of yellow eyes
You can still hear her screaming
If You're walking the stairs in July
Riding from beyond
The 7 Horsemen would arrive before the dawn
Servants of the count, when Abigail was born the first time
SOLO: Andy
Oh no...they found her in the sarcophagus
Baby Abigail was eating, Oh I cannot tell You
"Take her...and bring her
To the chapel in the forest
So go now...The ceremony
And the coffin's waiting"
The Black Horsemen
That's the end of another lullaby
Time has come for me to say Goodnight
SOLO: Mike

To whom it may concern.

I am scared to death. 9 years ago they finally let me out, and I
was just beginning to feel better. I am not Myself any longer.
I guess You could not even recognize My face if You saw Me now.
That phone call 2 hours ago has torn Me apart. It was Grandma.
She invited Me back to the old house. I do not want to go back,
but I must. Maybe You will understand My fear if I tell
You what happened during My childhood.
18 years ago I was living with My mother and
My sister Missy in Grandma's old house. I had
been told that Grandma was away on a long vacation,
and that she would soon return. She did.
I have later found out that she was actually being released
from that same asylum. "She's insane", they said, when she
kept on babbling about "THEM". I still cannot make up
My mind about who really did separate Grandpa's head
from his shoulders. You see, "THEY" were always so
nice to Me.
Anyway, time is short and I must leave for the old
house. So here is what happened 18 years ago. And
in case we never see each other again, at least You
will know why.
I bet we are going to have tea.
K.D. 3-12-87

Out From The Asylum

Look, the old bitch is back - yeah,
finally we'll get some company again
the attic room has been
locked up for far too long - just like the
old bitch herself - she's on time
though - why that silly wheelchair?
Oh she's pretending as always - but
she does make a good cup of tea.
"Oh My God she's here. Missy, listen
to what Mother says: Now You be
good to Grandma; and remember
she's been away on a long vacation.
That goes for You too King. And stop
playing that thing. Answer the door"

Welcome Home

Grandma' welcome home... You have
been gone for far too long
Is this a dream, are You really back?
Let me help You out of the chair...
Grandma'
Let me touch You, let me feel... Ahhh
Grandma' take a look
What do You think of the house and
the silvery moon?
We are going to repaint the front door
soon
Let me help You out of the chair...
Grandma'
Let me touch You, let me feel... Ahhh
SOLO: Pete
Wait till You see Your room up in the
attic
Prepared just like You said, without a
bed
You will find Your rocking chair and
the tea pot that Missy found
Let me help You out of the chair...
Grandma'
There is someone waiting for You,
now come along
Missy and Mother, they are dying to
meet You
How strange... she's spoken no word...
I wonder Grandma'! Are You all right?
SOLO: Andy
Grandma' what was it like to be on
that holiday site
"Oh it could have been worse but
with "THEM" by my side
In the twilight "THEY" sang all the old
lullabies"
Grandma' who are "THEY"... "never
mind You dirty little brat"
"Let us go inside, something's on
"THEIR" mind
"THEY" are still alive, can You feel
"THEIR" eyes
Can You feel "THEIR" eyes?
Now that You are stuck with me You
better be my friend.

The Invisible Guests

SOLO: Pete - SOLO: Andy
Late that night I awoke from My sleep
Hearing unknown voices laughing
insane
Grandma' was one, Oh it's coming
from the room next to mine
It's Grandma' room... the invisible
guests
SOLO: Pete
As I stood there alone in the dark
Peeking through the keyhole, couldn't
believe My eyes
I'd never seen anything like it, only
Grandma' was inside the room
Speaking to no one... the invisible
guests
Cups were rising in thin air and then
emptied on the floor
Suddenly the door was open and
Grandma' said
"Do come in My little friend"
SOLO: Pete
Missy and Mother were sleeping
downstairs
If they could see me in Grandmother's
chair
SOLO: Andy
Grandmother said "look Me deep in
the eyes
You will forget what You saw here
tonight"
"I will let You in on the secret of this
house
The secret of Amon... that's what we
call this house
Now I want you to go back to sleep,
now go back to sleep My dear"

The invisible guests

SOLO: Andy - SOLO: Pete - SOLO: Andy - SOLO: Pete
Cups were rising in thin air and then
emptied on the floor
Suddenly the door was open and
Grandma' said
"Now you must go back to sleep"
"Go to sleep"... "Go to sleep"...
"Go to sleep"...
Missy and Mother were sleeping
downstairs
If they could see me in Grandmother's
chair

Tea

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
SOLO: Pete
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
SOLO: Pete - SOLO: Andy
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

Mother´s Getting Weaker

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
SOLO: Andy - SOLO: Pete - SOLO: Andy
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"

Bye, Bye Missy

Tea time Monday night, I was waiting
passing time
Then from the hallway, I saw Mother
in her nightgown
Swaying up the stairs, up the stairs, it
seemed so unreal
I knew Grandma' had sent "THEM"
again, the invisible friends
A little later in the middle of tea we
came close to ecstasy
"THEY" were telling tales from
beyond when Grandma' rose
She opened the door, and there was
Missy
Seeing Mother in Grandmother's
chair, she went into tears
Missy was screaming
"What have You done, what have you
done to My Ma", crying louder now
"We better get rid of her, She's too
young anyway", it was Grandma' who
spoke
"Bye, bye Missy, be gone forever
The beautiful fireplace in the kitchen
will do"
SOLO: Andy - SOLO: Pete
I saw Missy struggling in Grandma'
wrinkled hands
"Oh No, let me be, Oh No Please No
Grandma' Please
Aagh Grandma' You're hurting me.
Don't touch me or I'll break it, I've got
the tea pot, I'll do it anyway"
I saw liquid spreading, the bloody tea
all over the floor
Now I heard "THEIR" voices, some
kind of demon growls
DIE - SHE BROKE AMON - AMON - DIE
SOLO: Pete - SOLO: Andy
"THEY" dropped "THEIR" tea cups,
Grandma' stood still
forced by invisible hands, Missy went
down the stairs
As I waved her goodbye, Missy was
sobbing away
Will I ever see her again, Bye bye
Missy, don't be afraid
SOLO: Pete

A Broken Spell

I stumbled out of Grandma's room,
down the stairs and out of the house
Once outside I felt My mind begin to
fight a battle for control
With the tea pot broken I kind of
realized
That "THEIR" power was less here,
here on the outside
I fell to my knees in haziness
And I looked in through the window
to the cellar
Things were moving down there,
"THEY" were searching for something
And "THEY" really found it,
the big axe was flying
Flying out through the cellar door
Up the stairs to the kitchen...
Then I passed out
SOLO: Andy
The next thing I remember seeing was
the smoke coming from the chimney
I soon realized the smoke I saw was
actually... Oh No!
All there was left of Missy and her
dress, poor little girl
SOLO: Pete
The spell was broken, I really felt the
change
As my mind and body became one
again
The moon was alive with its silvery
eye
Staring right into My evil heart
I went back to see if My Grandma'
was still there
Waiting for me in the attic... Oh I hate
that bitch

The Accusation Chair

I kind of knew that she would be
waiting for me in her room
With a sick smile she told me not to
be a fool
Her eyes went hard, staring right into
My brain
But I convinced her that I was feeling
real fine
Oh, I was lying... seeing the look in
her eyes
Clearing My mind was important
She believed everything I said
And then she asked me if I would help
to bring her outside
Oh, I was lucky... "let us stay for a
while" she said
"Bathing ourselves in the moonlight"
So there she was, unprotected by "THEM"
I grabbed her cane, and tore it out of
her hand
"No way, You're not going to escape"
"Now that I've got You... here You will
pay for Your deeds
Your sick mind has come to an end
now"
"Stop it"
SOLO: Andy - SOLO: Pete
Nowhere to hide, Grandma' had died
Alone in the night
And "THEY" were waiting for me
waiting inside
Hoping that I would come back in
But I just ran away
Into the woods, as far as I could
I saw "THEIR" eyes
And then I fainted again, going insane
Dreaming that I was one of "THEM"...
I hear "THEIR" voices all the time

"Them"

Acoustic Guitar: Andy la Rocque

Twilight Symphony

Morning came and so did they, flying
questions from the police
I'm waiting here in an ambulance for
Dr. Landau
To return and tell me why they're
taking me so far away
"I did what I did and I'm glad I did,
'cos I could have been the...
I could have been the next in line"
Nobody found a trace of Missy
I'd be the last to tell them anyway
How could I ever ever explain
Now I hear "THEM" again, singing
Twilight symphony, twilight
I hear "THEM" again, singing
Twilight symphony, twilight
Grandma' was dead with an open neck
Blood still running from My open
mouth
I knew they would blame it, they
would blame it all on me
How could I ever ever explain
Now I hear "THEM" again, singing
Twilight symphony, twilight
I hear "THEM" again, singing
Twilight symphony, twilight
Dr. Landau returned, and I told him the
story
"Are You mad or just insane?"
I tried anyway
"You can take him away now, the boy
has lost his mind"
Oh no no
SOLO: Andy
I haven't seen My Mother since they
took me away
And Dr. Landau wouldn't tell me
He wouldn't tell me anything
Oh I'm back on the outside
SOLO: Pete
Time has caught up with me, and I
must leave for the old house
Yes I must leave now
Grandma'... I'm coming
I'm coming home now
I'm coming home now

Coming Home

"Grandma'?"
"I knew it was You at the door, I saw
You from the window. Now come
inside My dear. It's good to see You
again, despite what You did to MY
throat. "THEY" are waiting upstairs.
Come. Missy is there too. She's sitting
on Grandpa's lap. I bet You're dying for
a cup of tea."

Halloween
(music: King Diamond & Michael Denner; lyrics: King Diamond)

No Presents For Christmas

Christmas time is here again
Santa needs a helping hand
We cannot find his evil sheet
To draw his laying for the night
So all the waiting christmas trees
Gonna hear their master sing....
There's no presents, Not this Christmas
There's no presents
Tom and Jerry, Drinking Sherry
They don't give a damn
Christmas time is here again
Santa needs a helping hand
It's getting very, very late
St.Peter's crossed the Golden Gate
An Donald Duck is still in bed
I wonder who he's gonna help
There's no presents, Not this christmas
There's no presents
Tom and Jerry, All done Sherry
They don't give a damn
There's no presents, Not this Christmas
There's no presents
Tom and Jerry, Still Drinking Sherry
They don't give a damn
I'm dreaming of a white.... Sabbath....

The Shrine

The night is rising my eyes
Even in the dark I know i'm alive
I am burning for you,
yeah you know its true.
Voices are calling in the night
Breaking the changing sleep of night
I see your face i can't deny it
Darkness you are a holy shrine
The night, awake us tonight
This is where we all meet
the ones left behind
I am burning for you,
yeah you know it's true.
Voices are calling in the night
Breaking the changing sleep of night
I see your face i can't deny it
Darkness you are a holy shrine
(Solo)
Voices are calling in the night
Breaking the changing sleep of night
I see your face i can't deny it
Darkness you are a holy shrine
The night, awake us tonight

The ones left behind

yeah you know it's true.
Voices are calling in the night
Breaking the changing sleep of night
I see your face i can't deny it
Darkness you are a holy shrine
I am burning for you... I am burning for you...

The album "CONSPIRACY" is a continuation
of the story told on the album "THEM".
Once back inside the old house "AMON", King
watched his Grandmother vanish by the words:
"I bet You're dying for a cup of tea." Not a
trace did she leave behind. Nobody was to be
found upstairs either. The cellar was empty.
The entire house was empty. Only memories of
long gone friends were buried on the thick
dust that now covered the house.
It had been 18 years since King was last in
this house, waiting in his Mother's bedroom,
to be taken away by Dr. Landau and the
police. He spent 9 years in an asylum trying
to get his mind back to normal, under the
supervision of Dr. Landau. Then, finally
released, he spent another 9 years in
absolute solitude at a place unknown to us
(lie). During this time, he never saw his
Mother.
Now, 2 weeks have passed since King returned
to the old house, wich is actually his
according to his Grandmother's will, and we
think it is time for him to contact us again.

At The Graves
(Music by King Diamond)

Missy I miss You so. Oh little Sister
I wish You'd come back to Me and sit by My side
We'd laugh and we'd play again, if only You'll try
You know "THEY" would show the way
From the other side
Rise from Your grave little Sister
Rise...Rise...Rise My friends...Rise
Spirits rising from their grave
Burning shadows in the dead of night
Icy fingers all over My hand
Try to make Me understand
"Finally we have returned...All of us"
Missy is that You, come closer
Spirits rising from their grave
Everywhere that ghostly stare
Icy fingers all over My hand
Lead me back to where she stands
"THEY" are back to share My life..."THEY" are back
Solo: Andy La Roque, Solo: Pete Blakk
Missy come, come with Me, there are things I must know
How did you get here, where's the door to the other side
Missy: "Beyond the graves lies the gate
the gate that leads to the dead
We have to leave before the dawn
if not by the sun we will burn"
Spirits rising from their grave
soon the dawn will chase the dark away
Icy fingers all over My hand
Lead Me back to where "THEY" stand
Am I glad You have returned...All of you
Solo: Pete Blakk
Do You remember when Grandmother said she heard "THEM" sing
I've heard "THEM" too and I really wish I could hear "THEM" again
Missy: "In Your mind You'll hear "THEM" sing
every night at the graves
we have to leave before the dawn
if not by the sun we will burn
now sing"
Show Your powers onto Me
Solo: Andy La Roque

Sleepless Nights
(Music by Andy LaRocque)

I cannot sleep at night
That's what the day is for anyway
And as the clock strikes midnight
I hear "THEM" dancing at the graves
singing to My mind
killing the pain...sleepless nights...sleepless nights
I cannot sleep at night
That's what the day is for anyway
And as the clock strikes midnight
only "THEY" can let us meet
even though she's dead now
I gotta see her again...sleepless nights...sleepless nights
Solo: Andy La Roque, Solo: Pete Blakk
I cannot sleep at night
I will do anything to see Missy again
"Then let us make You an eternal deal
You will attend to the graves
You'll give us the house back and keep in mind
that we only come here at night".
So we made the deal under the starry night and
"AMON" belongs to "THEM" now...
I feel the dawn coming My way
And as the sun breaks up the dark
I can't hear "THEM" dance no more
There's no voices
killing the pain...pain...pain

Lies
(Music by Kind Diamond)

Yesterday I spent an hour
A full hour in therapy
My favourite Doctor Landau
My God I hate his breath
He asked me questions
That kind of fool deserves a lie
I gave him answers
The kind of answers Doctor like
Yes, I gave him a bunch of lies
I told him all My nightmares
Were dead and gone
"These days I sleep like a baby
and there never ever was a "THEM"
He asked me questions
That kind of fool deserves a lie
I gave him answers
The kind of answers Doctors like
Solo: Andy La Roque
The Doctor looked at My eyes
Landau: "No trace of insanity
maybe the time is right now
to have a visit from the family
I'm thinking of Your Mother
what does My little patient say?"
I should have taken his stethoscope
and then forced it down his throat
My Mother was at stake
So I behaved
Solo: Pete Blakk
That night I cleaned the entire house
For everything but the memories
No dust, no tea, ah stupid me
I even took the axe away
The sun is up and it's time for bed
I'm so tired
I can't wait no more
Solo: Andy La Roque, Solo: Pete Blakk

A Visit From The Dead
(Music by Andy LaRocque)

Solo: Andy La Roque, Solo: Pete Blakk
It must be summer the sky is clear
The garden is so beautiful
All the flowers and all the trees
Make Me feel like they're inside of Me
I'm holding My sister's hand
While we're playing in the sand
It's all but a dream
My bed is moving, I cannot see a thing
I am in total darkness, someone is calling
I can feel the chill, it's all around Me
I know it's not a dream, No no no
Someone is in My room
Standing at the end of My bed
Must be a visit from the dead
Must be a visit from the dead
Solo: Pete Blakk
Now I see her figure, it's just a little child
And there's no reflection, she's in the mirror
Could it really be, has she returned?
My little sister
"King beware...something bad is coming Your way...
King beware"
Must be a visit from the dead
Must be a visit from the dead
Missy will You tell Me
You know we don't have no secrets
"Just beware"
Solo: Andy La Roque
Must be a visit from the dead
Must be a visit from the dead
You've to to tell Me Missy
Come on now, spit out little girl
"I will send You a dream..."

The Wedding Dream
(Music by King Diamond)

My Mother is entering My dream now
She's wearing a wedding dress
Something's wrong with the way she walks the aisle
I think it's her legs
Suddenly there is someone else beside her
That man I recognize
The Doctor intends to marry Mother
It's got to be stopped
Now what have I done
My Mother's on the floor and the Doctor's gone
Everything is wrong
And as I keep the axe I wonder what's to come
I'm caught within a dream there's no way out
I can't escape
If only I could see the light of day
I might escape the dream
The wedding dream...Oh the dream
Now everything turns to darkness
Deep within I feel like I'm going blind
There is a light at the end of this starless nightmare
Someone's calling, guiding me back inside...The dream...No
Solo: Pete Blakk, Solo: Andy La Roque
Get away from him Mother
You better stop kissing, 'cause he's an enemy
Take at look at his hand
He's got the key to my house, the Doctor is the devil
I'm caught within a dream there's no way out
I can't escape
If only I could see the light of day
I might escape the dream
The wedding dream...Oh the dream
Solo: Pete Blakk, Solo: Andy La Roque
Dream...the wedding dream...Oh the dream
Now everything turns to darkness
Deep within I feel like I'm going blind
There is a light at the end of this starless nightmare
Someone's screaming: "Help me please" And it's Me
At sunrise I woke up in a sweat
The nightmare was gone
The dream I was sent is fading slowly
I do not understand

"AMON" Belongs To Them "THEM"
(Music by Andy LaRocque and King Diamond)

Today My Mother will return to My house
And all the things I've done
I've done to make her feel at home again
Oh..it's all part of an act
She can stay as long as I keep the pact
There's someone ringing at My front door bell
I see My Mother there
Standing with the man I wanna send to hell
Mother:
"Oh King, see who came along"
Ma, You don't understand
It's all part of the deal
There's no way I can let him inside
You see "AMON" belongs to "THEM"
Doctor:
"You go ahead and have a talk with the boy My dear"
You better bring this along
something might go wrong inside"
Come on Mother let me show You the house
come on Mother there's a lot to discuss
Solo: Pete Blakk, Solo: Andy La Roque
Mother:
"Oh King, please let him in"
Ma, You don't understand
It's all part of the deal
Ther's no way I can let him inside
You see "AMON" belongs to "THEM"
Now let Me tell You what I've seen in the house lately
I've seen Your daughter here
coming and going when the dark is near
You must never ever tell anyone what I've told
I have hear "THEM" singing too
Hey Mother what's that for?
Oh I feel the needle piercing My skin
And I'm falling, Yes I'm falling down...

Something Weird
(Music by Andy LaRocque)
Instrumental

Victimized
(Music by Andy LaRocque)

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"
Solo: Pete Blakk
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"
Solo: Andy La Roque
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?"

Let It Be Done
(Music by King Diamond)

Doctor:
"Who's gonna set fire to the coffin?"
Priest:
"I think You and Your wife to be
should do it together, while I keep
the demon inside with My crucifix"
Doctor:
"So it's into the coffin, use the torch
and then we put the remains into
his sister's grave, right?"
Priest:
"Yes, let it be done"

Cremation
(Music by King Diamond)

Whenever the dark is near
I will return from the grave
to haunt You...Godforsaken whore

Eye of the Witch
(Music by: King Diamond)

It's so cold inside on this summer night
Black clouds in the sky dancing before my eyes
I'm losing track of time
It's the eye of the witch
It's the eye of the witch
Thunder bring the rain, penetrate my brain
I am no more the same, that special night has come
losing track of time
It's the eye of the witch
The eye..the eye..the eye
SOLO: Andy la Rocque, SOLO: Pete Blakk
Another glass of wine to heat blood mine
And as I look inside the necklace called 'The Eye'
I'm going back in time
It's the eye of the witch
It's the eye of the witch
The eye..the eye..the eye
SOLO: Andy la Rocque

The Trial (Chambre Ardante)
(Music by: King Diamond)

La Reymie:
"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!"
SOLO: Pete Blakk
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^
"Thou shalt 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^
SOLO: Pete Blakk
But they dis not turn her loose
Horns and tails and cloven hoof
Can You tell Me where's the proof

Burn
(Music by: King Diamond)

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
SOLO: Andy la Rocque
Higher, burning higher, her lefs are scorched by life
Ashes to ashes, I see a smile on their wicked faces
SOLO: Pete Blakk
Burn in the night, You're the devil's child
Burn in the night, You're the devil's child
SOLO: Andy la Rocque
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

Two Little Girls
(Music by: King Diamond)

One little girl with dirty fingers
Playing with broken doll
As the other girl is lying
Digging deep into the ground
They seem to play an evil game
A game that doesn't have a name
Both of them are in the ashes
At the stake where witches burn
If only they could see beyond the ground they play on
The girls are laughing still, they think they're having fun
They should be far away, watching the sun go down
One little girl picked up a necklace
From the ashes of the witches
It had wings and then the other
cried out loud ^Now let me have it^
The other looked without a sign
Right into the witche's eye
The kind of horror that she saw
Made her choke for evermore
I wish they could have seen beyond the ground they played on
They would be laughing still, having the best of fun
They would be far away watching the sun go down

Into The Convent
(Music by: Andy la Rocque and Snowy Show)

Madeleine is running away from herself
Afraid of shame, she's crying out for help
To be clean again
SOLO: Andy la Rocque
No one cared and no one ever will
Her feelings were not shared, she wants to break the spell
and she's going
Into the convent, a smile on her face
Into the darkness to hide all her sins
Wondering what could go wrong in this place
Father David: "Wellcome Sister, I'm Your chaplain
Down on Your knees and pray if You please
in This convent I'm Your master
Kiss My cross now dearest Sister
In the Name of ..."
SOLO: Andy la Rocque
Madeleine is running away from herself
As father David said: "At comminion You must be undressed"
Why did she go
Into the convent, a smile on her face
Into the darkness to hide all her sins
Wondering what could go wrong in this place
SOLO: Andy la Rocque
Father David:
"Come along Sister Madeleine
Unfold Your wildest dreams, it's time to join and sing
Let the feast begin"
That night she awoke to find "The Eye"
On the stone cold floor Why, She never ever would know why
But she put it on
SOLO: Pete Blakk
Next day father David passed away
At communion time
Why, he never ever would know why
But he looked at "The Eye"
The eye of the necklace is laking it's toll
Inside the convent a soul will rejoice

Father Picard
(Music by: Pete Blakk)

A new chaplain has arrived
Madeleine and a few other nuns
At the convent will meet him tonight
Father Picard:
"Wellcome to my quarters, do come inside
Wellcome dearest Sisters, come into the light"
"I'm Father Picard, I'm taking over
Things will be different here
you are the four GOD has chosen
To be his angels in white
Drink My sweet holy wine"
"Oh yeah come on it's not a crime
From now on every sunday this time
You will attend this communion of mine"
Father Picard is hiding something
A white powder for the wine
SOLO: Andy la Rocque, SOLO: Pete Blakk
Father Picard:
"I'm Father Picard, I'm taking over
Things will be different here
you are the four GOD has chosen
To be his angels in white
Drink My sweet holy wine"
SOLO: Pete Blakk
The nuns freak out, lust in their eyes
From now on every sunday this time
Father Picard's in control of their minds
Father Picard is hiding something
A white powder for the wine

Behind These Walls
(Music by: King Diamond)

Walking in the garden, picking flowers in the sun
Madeleine is on her own
She can't see any of the other nuns
Is she blind or is it her mind
What's going on? What's going on behind these walls...
All the birds are singing, but Madeleine can't hear their song
Memories of screams in the night
Moaning coming from below where the prison cells are cold
She does not understand what's going on
SOLO: Andy la Rocque, SOLO: Pete Blakk
Now the bell is ringing, communion time has come again
Is Father Picard really a friend?
**missing text**
The sour tasting blood of Christ
What's going on? What's going on behind these walls....
SOLO: Andy la Rocque
What's going on? Behind these walls....

The Meetings
(Music by: Andy la Rocque)

The night is black
7 figures walk the streets of Louviers
Picard is one, another two are priests
And then the nuns going to
The meetings held in secrecy
Evil company full of secrecy, again and again
The room is dark
Candies on the wall, they've been here before
The christian cross is hanging high above
The altar of GOD
SOLO: Pete Blakk
Madeleine is at the gate
Hazy feeling in her brain
As the strangers come in to
The meetings held in secrecy
Evil company full of secrecy, again and again
The strangers brought
The sweetest little child, but something's wrong
The baby cries, someone here will die
And now the nuns pray
The meetings held in secrecy
Evil company full of secrecy, again and again
Madeleine and the other nuns
They hold the infant up to the cross
As father Picard and the priests
Approach with hammers and nails
There's no more to tell

Insanity
(Music by: Andy la Rocque)

(Instrumental) Acoustic: Pete Blakk ; Electric: Andy la Rocque

1642 Imprisonment
(Music by: Andy la Rocque)

Sacrifice, holy rites, secrecy and alter wine
Black candies burning lowto the meetings agains they go
Picard can't wait to take away another soul
Oh it's a shame, Picard was so insane
In the year of 1642, it came to an end
In 1642, imprisonment
Sacrifice, holy rites, secrecy and alter wine
Black death come this way, Father Picard will soon be going
He's ill, so sick, now his meetings are forever over
Oh it's a shame, they went along with his game
In the year of 1642, it came to an end
In 1642, imprisonment
SOLO: Andy la Rocque
Sacrifice, holy rites, secrecy and alter wine
The nuns can't take her blame
One after one they suffer a breakdown
Confession, confession, they confess to diabolic possession
Oh it's shame, even Madeleine has gone insane
In the year of 1642, Madeline was leaving hell in 1642, she
found freedom in her prison cell
SOLO: Pete Blakk

The Curse
(Music by: King Diamond)

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
SOLO: Andy la Rocque
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
SOLO: Pete Blakk
I know there's a bad side to the power of the chain
I know I'll be going back in time once again
SOLO: Pete Blakk
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
SOLO: Pete Blakk
The power I get from the chain is mine
Only I can use it

From The Other Side
(Music & Lyrics By King Diamond)

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, 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!

Killer
(Music by La Rocque, Lyrics by King Diamond)

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

The Poltergeist
(Music & Lyrics by King Diamond)

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!
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.

Dreams
(Music & Lyrics by King Diamond)

The witching hour has arrived here too soon
I know that all my dreams are inside this room
Oh yeah, it's all in this tune
Dreams in the night, falling like rain
Dreams in the night, they drive me insane
They cannot wait until I turn off the light
When I'm asleep they've got the key to my mind
Oh yeah, can't leave them behind
Dreams in the night, falling like rain
Dreams in theawight, they drive me insane
Dreams in the night.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, give me another dream now
The Spider's Lullaby is all they can sing
As they inject thier poison into my brain
Oh yeah, they're calling my name
Dreams in the night, falling like rain
Dreams in the night, they drive me insane
Give me another dream now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, give me another dream now
Rainbows and waterfalls
Little girls are swimming in a pond of gold
I'm growing old
I'm growing old
Sweet blue eyes of innocence
Begging me...
To follow them to the other side
Ah, they're growing horns
Dreams in the night, falling like rain
Dreams in the night, they drive me insane
Dreams in the night
Let me out of these dreams... dreams... dreams...
Let me out of these dreams... dreams... dreams...
Let me out of these dreams... dreams... dreams...

Moonlight
(Music & Lyrics by King Diamond)

In the moonight
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 whiper 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 whiper 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 thier home
Raven spread your wings, lead the spirits to thier home
To thier home
In the moonlight.... In the moonlight

Six Feet Under
(Music by La Rocque/Lyrics by King Diamond)

My family just couldn't wait, I should have seen it coming
What a nice conspiracy, what a nice suprise
But now it's all too late
I am six feet under, It's so very hard to breath
My family, they put me here in a coffin made of glass
So I can see them in thier glory or they can see me in my misery
They're standing all around my grave
Six feet under, I'm in a coffin made of glass
Six feet under, It's so very hard to breath
Six feet under, I'm in a coffin made of glass
Six feet under, It's so very hard to breath
My hands are turning blue
While my nails are turning to Red
Looking up into faces of greed
I'm sweating cold and white with fear
Sinister smiles upon thier lips
One of them is waving me goodbye
I am six feet under, It's so very hard to breath
My lovely sister is laughing at me, I cannot hear but I can see
Now she is kicking soil into my face
I swear I will return to haunt her
Six feet under, I'm in a coffin made of glass
Six feet under, It's so very hard to breath
My hands are turning blue
While my nails are turning to Red

The Spider's Lullabye
(Music & Lyrics by King Diamond)

In a little cottage in the countryside
Lives a man named Harry
And he is losing his mind
Listen... Hear the Spider's Lullaby
It's really sad for Harry, He finds a spider scary
Even the smallest species will make him feel uneasy
Oh, they live in every corner
Oh, and here comes another
There's another spider on his wall... Gotta kill it!
Soon to be another creamy spot
As he woke up this morning, there was a spider crawling
He felt a big suprise before it caught his eyes
Oh, it was between his face
Oh, and his pillow case
There's another spider on his wall... Gotta kill it!
Soon to be another creamy spot
Here comes another one... Hahahahahahaha
He's got to find a doctor, a very special doctor
Someone who can cure his mind
Someone who knows Harry's kind
Listen... Hear the Spider's Lullaby
Those creepy crawly creatures
With all thier hairy features
Hoping to catch a fly
Singing it's deadly lullaby
Oh... Oh, NO...
There's another spider on his wall... Gotta kill it!

Eastmann's Cure
(Music & Lyrics by King Diamond)

It was in the local paper:
"We will cure your every phobia
At Devil Lake Sanitarium
We will make you feel you're right at home"
No more sleepless night, No more unpleasant sight
We can recreate paradise
And you don't even have to sacrifice a thing
It only took about a minute's time
For poor old Harry to make up his mind
So he headed for Devil Lake
Knowing doctores were awaiting him
No more sleepless night, No more unpleasant sight
We can recreate paradise
And you don't even have to sacrifice a thing
HARRY: "My name is Harry and I am from the country side
I'm looking for a doctor, Eastman is his name"
Dr.EASTMANN: "We welcome you with open arms,
We've all been looking forward to having you here,'
At Devil Lake Sanitarium
You must always sign a special paper first"
HARRY: "I will sign anything just to get rid of my fears
I just want to live a life, where do you want me to sign?"
Dr. EASTMANN: "Right here on the dotted line
This will give me the freedom I need for you
At Devil Lake Sanitarium
You know we are the very best at what we do...
OH YES!"
Now that we have got his signature
I think it's time to start the Eastmann Cure
So put him in the straight
I think Room 17 is still our whitest room
No more sleepless night, No more unpleasant sight
We can recreate paradise
And you don't even have to sacrifice a thing

Room 17
(Music & Lyrics by King Diamond)

Room 17 was nice and cool, oh yeah
A few stains on the wall
But that was nothing new to Harry's head
Even though he was strapped down to his bed
...Strapped down...
Harry felt preety good...
Knock Knock...
Knock knock... Is anybody there?
Room 17 was nice and cool, oh yeah
But it didn't have the string that would ring the nurse
It wasn't there
Poor Harry, he had it coming
Poor Harry...
Sow he didn't feel so good
Here comes Doctor Eastmann and Nursie Needle Dear
Look at wat they got you... THE CRAWLY BOX
NURSE: "Don't be such a baby, Harry stop that now
The doctor's here to help you... it's Eastmann time!"
In room 17, everything is so clean
In room 17, there is nothing to be seen
Dr.EASTMANN: "Black, brown, grey and hairy...
We've got them all
Big, small, fast and scary...
Yeah, we've got them all
I can hear hit, the Spider's Lullaby
I can feel it, the Spider's crawl on by"
In room 17, everything is so clean
In room 17, there is nothing to be seen
Dr.EASTMANN: "Nurse Needle, it is time to begin
Nurse Needle, stick it in
A brown Lycosa's what I've got inside this box
I'm gonna let him out to see just how you feel
When he's around
If you move too much he might just bite you
But we'll just have to wait
And see about that..."
Deep into the night, they were testing him
So many different species, Harry could not win
They forgot the grey one, she was full of eggs
And she would find a warm spot back in Harry's neck
It's so moist and warm in here
Knock Knock...
Knock knock... Is anybody there?
HARRY: "You forgot some spiders in my room yesterday
Now I've got this stunning pain
And my neck is feeling weird, Oh I might die
Overnight some of your spiders must have bit me
They were all over me!"
Dr.EASTMANN: "Oh Harry, don't be such a fool."
That same night Harry died
When they found him he was grey and white
Black, brown, grey and hairy...
We've got them all
Big, small, fast and scary...
Yeah, we've got them all
I can hear hit, the Spider's Lullaby
I can feel it, the Spider's crawl on by
In room 17, everything is so clean
In room 17, there is nothing to be seen
Take him to the morgue
Take him to the morgue...

To The Morgue
(Music by La Rocque/Lyrics by King Diamond)

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

FOREWORD:
Seen through the eyes of a lunatic (ME), this story
portrays som of the darkest sides of the human mind.
It deals with hate, fear, guilt, revenge, justice,
injustice, twisted love, innocence and a perverted
swine by the name McKenzie (the Mayor), who
molested his own 7 year old daughter, Lucy; and
blamed it all on me. I, the lunatic, am trying to the
best of my ability, to bring Mayor McKenzie back to
justice for all the crimes he has commited. In many
ways I fail miserably.
Fortunately none of the characters in this story are
real; but unfortunately they are all too realistic.
Anyway, whether we like it or not, we all have bad
thoughts, and that´s perfectly alright, as long as we do
NOT act upon them. Therefore, do NOT try to copy or
re-enact any portion of this story. If you do, you are
simply too stupid to be alive.
Have Fun,
King Diamond

The Graveyard
(Music & Lyrics: Diamond)

Where am I? What am I doing here?
In this God forsaken graveyard
Yeah...that's what I'm doing...I remember now
This is my new home
And they will never find me here............

Black Hill Sanitarium
(Music: La Rocque / Lyrics: Diamond)

I 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

Waiting
(Music & Lyrics: Diamond)

SOLO: Andy
Just after midnight, they are bringing me my pills
Just after midnight, lights are out...at Black Hill
But they don't know me...they don't know me at all
Tonight pills will be chills will be kills
Waiting in the dark, I cannot take another night
Waiting in the dark, I cannot take it anymore
If I don't take my medication, they will all be here
But I think I fooled them, I think...I'm in the clear
"Nursie" doesn't know...this is her last night
She even brought the key, that's gonna set me free
Waiting in the dark, I cannot take another night
Waiting in the dark, I cannot take it anymore
Tonight I'm taking her instead
My hands are so much stronger
Than her isty-bitsy little head
SOLO: Herb
Empty eyes are staring at the wall
I cannot hear her breathing anymore
SOLO: Herb
I'm looking for the key in her hand
That bluish little hand
Running through the empty halls of this forgotten place
Unlocking doors...that never opens
But now I've got the key...the key to freedom
And I'm unlocking doors that never should be opened
Waiting in the dark, I cannot take another night
Waiting in the dark, I cannot take it anymore
6,6,6 miles...I've been running through the woods
6,6,6 miles...and now before me, the cemetery gates
I climb the gate between life and death
I walk upon the moolit graves
I'm home

Heads On The Wall
(Music: La Rocque / Lyrics: Diamond)

Theme SOLO: Andy
I'm in a cold and lonely tomb
Surrounded by darkness in my newfound home
I'm not alone, anymore, alone, anymore
I'm looking back at yesterday
I do remember my escape, and what I had to do
Have to do, don't you see, don't you see
Heads on the wall...I'm looking at
Heads on the wall...dead yet alive
Heads on the wall
I'm looking at heads on the wall...heads
Theme SOLO: Andy
Did you know, if you die in a graveyard
The soul can't escape if you lose your head
But it lives on in the brain...in your brain
Don't you see, don't you see
Heads on the wall...I'm looking at
Heads on the wall...dead yet alive
Heads on the wall
I'm looking at heads on the wall
Last night, when I climbed the cemetery gate
I saw a man digging in the ground
Working the late shift, it was the gravedigger
Jeremiah had worked here for years
Already had one foot in the grave
With my help we got in the other
I can't believe...he wasn't stronger
SOLO: Herb
Mary the hooker was coming to church
To let the reverend fill up her purse
Jesse Bell, may his soul rest in HELL
No one must find out, no one must tell
SOLO: Andy
Heads on the wall...I'm looking at
Heads on the wall...dead yet alive
Heads on the wall
And they're staring at me, and me, and me
No one comes and leaves again
I've got to make sure no one knows where I am
Especially THAT man...I remember
I can't get rid of those voices

Whispers
(Music: La Rocque / Lyrics: Diamond)

You've got to get his daughter, daughter, daughter
You've got to get his daughter, daughter, daughter
You've got to get his daughter, daughter, daughter
You've got to get his daughter, daughter, daughter
Lucy...

I'm Not A Stranger
(Music & Lyrics: Diamond)

I've been watching Lucy all week
I've been watching her at school
I know her schedule, I know it well
I know exactly when she's leaving
Oh Lucy take my hand,
how can I make you understand
I'm not a stranger, I am a friend
I'm gonna take you home to Daddy...later
Such beautiful eyes you have, such beautiful hair
You must be at least seven years of age,
am I right now ?
As if I really care
Cause you're his daughter, his little daughter
The one I'm supposed to have hurt
But I could never, I could never
I could never hurt a little girl like you
Oh Lucy take my hand,
how can I make you understand
I'm not a stranger, I am a friend
I'm gonna take you home to Daddy...later
SOLO: Herb
Such beautiful eyes you have, such beautiful hair
You must be at least seven years of age
But who cares, 'cause you're coming with me NOW!
SOLO: Andy
Come on little girl...Why are you making such a fuss
Come on little girl...come on it is time
I've got real dolls on my wall, I made them myself
And you can play with them and play with them
And play with them
Until your Daddy comes to get you
Oh Lucy take my hand,
how can I make you understand
I'm not a stranger, I am a friend
I'm gonna take you home to Daddy...later
I I I I and you will soon be home now
I I I I and you are gonna play then
I I I I and you you you you
We we we we, we're gonna have some fun
Sweet graveyard here we come
Sweet graveyard here we come
Sweet graveyard here we come
Sweet graveyard

Digging Graves
(Music & Lyrics: Diamond)

Lucy, you stay here...the tomb is warm
Why don't you play with the dools...
The dolls on the wall
I am not the guy I used to be,
not since he put me away
I left half my brain behind, back in that crazy place
Does that mean...that I am insane
Does that really mean...that I am to blame...NO NO NO
Is it true what they say...little girls don't cry
Is it true what they say...Lucy look at me
I am not the guy I used to be,
not since he put me away
I left half my brain behind, back in that crazy place
Does that mean...that I am insane
Does that really mean...that I am to blame...NO NO NO
Into the night I go, and you can't follow me Into the night I go, and you can't follow me
I will be your misery, I'm gonna be your HELL
I will be your misery, and I wish you well, in HELL
I'm digging graves, seven deadly tombs
I'm digging graves, below that crazy moon
I will be your misery, I'm gonna be your HELL
I will be your misery, and I wish you well, in HELL
McKenzie, how could you think I'd forget
SOLO: Andy - SOLO: Herb
All graves done...I'm so clever
Seven headstones in all...saying "Lucy Forever"
I am not the guy I used to be,
not since he put me away
I left half my brain behind, back in that crazy place
Does that mean...that I am insane
Does that really mean...that I am to blame...NO NO NO
Into the night I go, and you can't follow me
Into the night I go, and you can't follow me
I will be your misery, I'm gonna be your HELL
I will be your misery, and I wish you well, in HELL
I'm digging graves, seven deadly tombs
I'm digging graves, below that crazy moon
SOLO: Herb
Into the night I go, and you can't follow me...

Meet Me At Midnight
(Music: La Rocque / Lyrics: Diamond)

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

Sleep Tight Little Baby
(Music & Lyrics: Diamond)

Lucy...it's time for bed now, and you need your rest
So lie down in your coffin dear, and sleep tight
I'll wake you when Daddy's here, alright ?
No No don't...d-d-don't cry little girl
Little girl from head to toe
Deep into the ground you go...down...DOWN!
Sleep tight little baby, sleep tight below the ground
Sleep tight little baby, nowhere to run around
OH...The worms, Oh...The worms
Is that your Daddy...your Daddy ?
Sleep tight little baby, sleep tight below the ground
Sleep tight little baby, nowhere to run around
OH...The worms, Oh...The worms
Is that your Daddy...your Daddy ?
And as I'm waiting by the cemetery gates
For her father to show
Something's pounding at my head
It's like I...I, I can still hear her SCREAMING
SOLO: Andy
Oh Lucy, I'm doing all this for you
Oh Lucy, I didn't mean to, I didn't want to
But you've got to
Sleep tight little baby, sleep tight below the ground
Sleep tight little baby, nowhere to run around
OH...The worms, Oh...The worms
Is that your Daddy...your Daddy ?
So you came at last ? Let me see your heart
Let me see your face, you son of a bitch
SOLO: Herb
I see a baby crying, I see a little tear
Oh yeah, I know you're trying
But you can't stop the fear...DADDY!
If you ever want to see your little girl again
You better do as I say
Dear Mr. Mayor, welcome to my humble tomb
Come inside, you know you have to

Daddy
(Music & Lyrics: Diamond)

Oh Daddy...I'm so alone, Oh Daddy...come home
Oh Daddy...I've missed you so
Oh Daddy...tell me what to do
Daddy don't look at me like that
I didn't do it...HE did...It was HIM
I could never...I could never
I wasn't even there
SOLO: Andy
Daddy tell me what to do...Daddy...No don't no
Oh Daddy, you're fading away
Oh Daddy, Daddy please stay
Oh...you're fading away
Oh Daddy, Daddy please stay
You're going down, you're going down, McKenzie
SOLO: Herb
Sit down you creep, you degenerate son of a sheep
SOLO: Andy
What am I to do you...with you ?
SOLO: Herb
You're going down, you're going down, McKenzie
SOLO: Andy
Sit down you creep, you degenerate son of a sheep
SOLO: Herb
What am I to do you...with you ?
SOLO: Andy
Sit down you creep, you degenerate sheep
SOLO: Herb
You're going down, you're going down, McKenzie

Trick Or Treat
(Music & Lyrics: Diamond)

The only light inside this tomb
Is coming from so high above us
Watching through a tiny window,
the moon is looking on
Down on your knees, down if you please
While I blindfold your eyes
The two of us are gonna play a little game
I think that I will call it
Trick or treat, let us go hide and seek
Follow me into the night
Where the sun don't shine but the moon is bright
Lucy is sleeping...in one of seven graves
Now you decide, which ones are trick or treat
Trick or treat, let us go hide and seek
I can only let you fail this twice
The third time you must be right
Lucy is sleeping...in one of seven graves
Now you decide, which ones are trick or treat
You better start digging
She could be dying while we speak
You better start digging
Before the worms have their feast
SOLOS: Herb - Andy
How does it feel, to be digging for someone you love
How does it feel...to be digging for LOVE ?
Ohhhhh No No No, you failed again
That's not Lucy...that's someone else you've got
You blindfolded creep
I'm beginning to get the feel that you're
Digging your own grave
SOLO: Herb
Lucy is sleeping...in one of seven graves
Only one left chance, to save your daughter
You better start digging
She could be dying while we speak
You better start digging
Before the worms have their feast
The only light inside this graveyard
Is coming from so high above us
Watching from the blackened sky,
the moon is looking on
Down on your knees, dig if you please
While I blindfold your brain
One blow to the back of the head and
He is face down, down in Lucy's grave
Lucy is sleeping...in one of seven graves
Her Daddy won...but I am winning now
I'm dragging him back, back to the tomb
I'm dragging him back, and I'm tying him down

Up From The Grave
(Music & Lyrics: Diamond)

As I look him deep in the eyes...I see only darkness
I must have knocked him out...good
I kind of like that...I must go
Up Up Up from the grave
Up Up Up from the grave
Up Up Up from the grave
Up Up Up from the grave
Here we go again my friend,
deep into my twisted brain
I think I'm losing it again
La-La-La......I'm digging for Lucy dear
La-La-La......I've had it up to here
Lucy Lucy I am here, Lucy Lucy don't you fear
I will get you out of there, so you can breathe again
You can't sleep forever...dear
Come to DADDY
Up Up Up from the grave
Up Up Up from the grave
Up Up Up from the grave
Up Up Up from the grave
Here we go again my friend,
deep into my twisted brain
I think I'm losing it again
La-La-La......Tell me what you see
La-La-La......Tell me how it makes you feel
When I sing so nice-ly to you Lu-u-cy

I Am
(Music & Lyrics: Diamond)

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.....

Lucy Forever
(Music: La Rocque / Lyrics: Diamond)

I leave it up me me girl, You tell me when and I'll act
By the first light of dawn, Daddy will be on his way
By the first light of dawn, No more Daddy, I say
I leave it up to me girl
You tell me when and I'll make him disappear
I can feel...the sun will soon be here
Get away from that string my dear
What do you think you're doing Lucy
Too late, I should have seen it coming my way
Glass from the broken window, oh so high above
Heading straight for my neck
By the first light of dawn, my body lost its head
By the first light of dawn, Oh God...I'm dead
I feel...my soul is, creeping...up into my brain
I guess I would be scared, if I weren't already dead
But my blackened heart has told me
No one really cares anyway
Lucy, what are you doing now, do not set him free girl
Lucy, what are you doing now
You better take a listen to my head
Did you hear what it said
The view is so very strange, so strange from here
Facing the floor is hard, when you're nothing but a ball
How could the mayor win, and I become one of THEM
I'm just a head on the floor
My body is over there, but I am still right here
Lucy...come back to me
Lucy...you cannot leave me like this
SOLO: Herb
Lucy, I hear your little feet coming my way
Pick me up and let us head for home
But not a word to Daddy
So she puts me in her backpack
Lucy forever, I'll be with Lucy forever
Lucy forever, I'll be with Lucy forever
Lucy forever, I'll be with Lucy forever
Lucy forever, I'll be with Lucy forever
Ever...ever...ever...ever...ever...ever
