King Diamond Album

Curtains of back were inside the room
Shutting out the light, the light that always hurt his eyes
There was nothing bright in this entire mansion... no, no
Except for the candlelight... the light... and the fire that burned real slow

Oh Miriam... why did you have to go and die?

Curtains of black were inside the room
Abigail was not alone, there was someone else in here too
"Come closer dear", said the shadow in the wheelchair
"Stand by the fireplace, so I can better see your face"

Oh Miriam, why did you have to go and die?

[Solo: Andy]

The shadow could not believe, the likeness in her face
It looked as if his Miriam had come back from the grave
"I am Count de La Fey, and you are?"
"Abigail", she whispered and shivered to the bone
"Can I?", he said "Can I,.. can I call you Miriam?"

"Miriam... or Abigail is fine
You can even call me Lucy for it is just a name"

He struggled out of the wheelchair
Since his fall many years ago
Now he could only walk by a cane, what a shame

[Solo: Andy]

"Don't move! Stay where you are", and then he was right behind her
Touching her long black hair, he was breathing much harder now
Then he grabbed her head

In the pain she screamed as he
Yanked out a lock of that beautiful hair, oh dear oh dear oh dear

He quickly struggled across the floor to a smaller cabinet
Behind glass door it said: "To My beloved Dear"
It was then he started to compare, and she saw the other HAIR
In his twisted mind, she was back, but why
"I must retire my dear in order to prepare
You should do the same, tomorrow an heir"

As I look into the eyes of Victoria
Enter the Puppet Master and his wife
I can't speak...I'm in shock...

Human skulls, ancient books
A strange symbol on the wall, black candles burning low

In the gloomy light, I see an altar in white
Oh, what is it for? It must be a Ritual

In glass jars, up on shelves
I see liquid dark as Hell, there's one for every Puppet

I hear the Master's voice, magic words from ancient times
I'm feeling strange inside
Oh...as if something has taken my mind

[solo: Andy]

I hear the Master's voice, magic words from ancient times
I'm feeling strange inside
Oh...as if something has taken my mind
In panic, I kick the shelf.. with all the jars
One of them falls from high above.. to the floor
RED!! Oh so Red...it's BLOOD
"How dare you disturb my work"?

Demon skull, red as Blood
It's in the symbol on the wall, there's something deadly wrong

I feel a sting in my eyes, as they're given eternal life
All because of the Blood on the floor, interrupted Ritual

[solo: Mike]

I hear the Master's voice, magic words from ancient times
I'm feeling strange inside
Oh...as if something has taken my mind
He lures away my soul, from its shelter and into the cold
To him my soul is gold
Trading souls with this Demon is something he knows
As well as Hell
Magic life.. is his return
Pain.. in my skin, SIN...
I feel some kind of Magic...inside

Mansion in Sorrow, mansion in the dark
Maybe tomorrow the Devil's mark

The gates were locked from the inside
And Abigail was sure to die
Then Little One went straight through her body
And the gates, they opened wide
And Little One went up the stairs to the old oak door

Mansion in sorrow, mansion in the dark
Maybe tomorrow the Devil's mark

[Solo: Mike]

Mansion in sorrow, mansion in the dark
Maybe tomorrow the Devil's mark

Lightning was striking the trees all around
Abigail still in shock, awoken by the sound

Run better run, run better run after Little One
Run better run, run after Little One
But Little One had gone, gone to the beyond
Mansion in sorrow, mansion in the dark

[Solo: Andy]

Suddenly the door was open, "Where have you been my dear?
I'm Brandon Henry and I serve the master here"

Through a maze of gloomy hallways and candles black
Safe from the storm she followed the man with the shaved head
They went in... in to a room... that was like a shrine
Jewelry and dresses too... in cabinets made of glass
Portraits on the walls, 18 in all
A strong scent of old perfume, and then there was THE HAIR

Long... black... lifeless hair

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

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

The storm was gone, but dark clouds still hung around
The perfect setting for things to come, late afternoon
She was still in bed after her visit to the crypt
Someone was calling Henry's name
Or was it only in her dream?

A dream of breaking glass, glass cutting into flesh
Rain turning red, blood running for the dead

[Solo: Andy]

Again she heard a name... it was louder, but the same

Jonathan was fighting his way out of bed
[J:] "Where is Brandon Henry and why is he late?"
[A:] "He didn't feel very well today
So I sent him back to bed and there he'll stay
But I, my dear, will cater to your needs
For you I will be the hand, the hand that feeds"

Abigail obsessed with her revenge
Her old spirit was back
It made her remember her dream of broken glass
"Use it in your scheme, the broken glass"

[Solo: Mike]

Broken glass crushed into sugar glace
Making dinner for Jonathan, Abigail was having fun
Would it be romantic dinner or slaughter of the lamb?
Would broken glass be cutting deep, deep into the flesh of a man?

Dinner was enjoyed by candlelight
And Jonathan was wearing his
Funeral suit, it put him in the right mood
Whatever it took, he would do

[Outro solos: Andy]

He was in love... he was in love again
He was in love... he was in love again
But Abigail would soon feed his love away
Feed his love away

"Dinner is served"

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!

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....

I open my eyes...I can barely see
I got a feeling inside
No one's here but me, no one's here but me...Ohhh

I'm stone cold...I must be lying on a floor
My hands are tied to the wall.. An Iron chain, I can't move at all
Oh...I remember, I must be in the Cellar

My eyes are sucking on the Dark to lighten the gloom
My eyes are no more blind, I can see what's in this room

Full of skeletons, dressed in human skin...
They're sitting on their shelves, a cellar full of Sin..
They're made from humans

"Ahh.. Ahh.. Ahh.."

So many Puppets here, there are eyes everywhere
There are eyes I recognize
Oh no, it's the eyes of my love.. The eyes of my love
Oh Victoria Nooooo

[solo: Andy]

My hands are tied to the wall.. An Iron chain, I can't move at all
Oh...I remember

[solos: Andy - Mike]

Full of skeletons, dressed in human skin:
They're sitting on their shelves, a cellar full of Sin..

I open my eyes.. I can barely see a thing
All the tears in my eyes, someone better say it's a dream

[solo: Mike]

"Blue eyes, blue eyes", blue eyes I recognize
"Blue eyes in the night"
They see nothing, and yet they're so alive

Blue eyes, they're so alive
All the tears in my eyes, someone better say it's a dream

"Blue eyes, blue eyes", blue eyes I recognize
"Blue eyes in the night"
They see nothing, and yet they're so alive
Yet they're so alive: yet they're so alive

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...

"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."

[Solo: ~ Andy]

1932, North of Baton Rouge
Louisiana nights are darker than before
Along the Mississippi, that is where it is
The old colonial house, a mansion of you will

Whaite as snow, the mansion still seems to have its slow

And when the moon is full and white
You can hear the drums of voodoo echo in the night

In the "LOA" house, misery will strike again

Jean le Noir, the first to own this house
He was a voodoo priest, a Houngan so they say
The voodoo cemetery, that is where he is
Died at the hand of an evil Bocor's will

They say... he's been walking the house ever since that day

And when the moon is fool and white
You can hear the drums of voodoo echo in the night

In the "LOA" house, misery will strike again

[solo Andy-Herb]

They never should have come, no no no
They never should have come to the "LOA" house
They never should have come, no no no
They never should have come to the "LOA"

7 days ago... the Lafayettes moved in
Sarah is with child and Davis is the man
This is no Abigail, this child will survive
And Grandfather dear, why did they bring him here?

White as snow, that is all he sees, oh he's been blind for years

[solo Andy]

They never should have come, no no no
They never should have come to the "LOA" house
They never should have come, no no no
They never should have come to the "LOA"

And when the moon is fool and white
You can hear the drums of voodoo echo in the night

In the "LOA" house, misery will strike again
In the "LOA" house, misery will strike again

And again...and again...and again...and again...
