King Diamond Album

So many tears in my eyes, I have to look away
How can I say the word, that never should be said
I lay my broken heart to rest, and so I set you free
I wish you only the best... even if it's not with me
Fly away...
Beautiful angel Fly away to better things
Beautiful angel Fly away to better things
Fly away

[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"

"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"

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

In the dark she was so beautiful and white
Abigail was glowing like a diamond in the night
[J:] "I love you Miriam

...Oh my God... my stomach
... That hurts... there it is again... oh what pain
It's like someone's cutting me with a knife
...This is more than pain"

[A:] Ah ha ha, I put broken glass in your dinner dear
It's only getting worse from here
Time has come to say hello to fear
No more hiding from the sun, count the minutes as they run
Run away with life itself"

[J:] "What's wrong with you Miriam?
I'm hurting, please help me"

[A:] "Ah ha ha, NO NO, you're gonna die
This is so much more than pain, feel the Devil's rain
No more hiding from the sun, count the minutes as they run
Run away with life itself"

[J:] "I can't believe you're doing this... to me
...My God... I'm bleeding through my mouth...
...What was that? ...Oh No"

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

18 was yesterday today she was
A woman in every single way
Abigail was wathing in the forest where
The darkness, it seems to be alive

It was hours ago that she left her home
The chapel in which Black Horsemen saved and raised her soul
And now in the darkest night a storm was born
And Abigail, she did not know... she was its prey

[Solo: Andy]

In the storm itself a monster came alive
Chasing Abigail, lightning from the sky

Ah... then her face turned white
Never did she see the EYE, that cried
Raindrops on her head, weeping for the dead, rain... rain... rain
Turning red

"Oh no" ... "Let me go back to my home" ... "Oh no" ... "Oh..."

[Solo: Mike]

God he looked away the night the storm it came
And Abigail was drawn into the rain

Rain... was pulling on her hair
To where there is a mansion... THE LAIR
Lurking in the dark when lightning struck again
The mansion showed itself... in silhouette

[Solo: Mike]

Ah... rusty iron gates
This is where the Little One she waits
Raindrops on her head, weeping for the dead, rain... rain... rain...
Turning red

"Oh no" ... "Let me go back to my home" ... "Oh no" ... "Oh"
Seeing the little one... knowing that she was a ghost...
Abigail wondering why she was
Mummified... a lantern in her hand
And in the light she saw a name: Cound de La Fey

The shadows are thick and Old
I'm searching the dark for my love
Behind the Theater of Puppet Shows
I find the stairs to the Cellar below

Hiding where the shadows rule
A door opens below
The Moon is high above
300 pounds of flesh, that woman I know

Oh it's the Puppet Master's wife
She pulls a cart behind her
"Oh Emerencia", where are you going with that knife?

[solo: Mike]

Time to kill, it's time for her nightly thrill
"Oh Emerencia", where are you going with that knife?

Deep in the night through the narrowest streets
I follow her every step
She is searching for innocent victims
"Oh Emerencia"
In an alley a homeless is sleeping
Approaching without a sound...and then...oh no

"How strange it is.. to see.. a life that slips away
How strange it is.. in Darkness Blood is Black not Red"

[solo: Andy]

The knife is still deep in his chest
Gotta keep the Blood in its nest
She wraps him in the sack she brought
She better leave before she gets caught

Through the streets dark and Old
Through the streets, no one must know
Only the Moon and I
And none of us will ever tell
She pulls the body off the cart
Back at the Theater, down into the dark
"Oh Emerencia", I wonder why you left the door ajar

[solo: Andy]

Deep in the night through the narrowest hallways
I follow her every step
There's a light from a doorway ahead of us
Where did she go, where did she go...? Oh no
What I see is a Horror Show...then the blow...

Saturday midnight

At midnight that same night, the Lafaettes were slipping
At midnight that same night, there is a shadow creepeng

Salem is moving without a sound
Salem is moving...moving, moving to the burial ground

So hot and so quiet, only the leaves are shaking
By one of the graves, Doctor le Croix is waiting

Salem is moving without a sound
Salem is moving...moving, moving to the burial ground

Doctor le Croix, shaking the hand of Salem
"My my my my my God, Salem tell me the secret
My my my my my God, this makes me feel uneasy"

In shock... Le Croix is terrified, this could be the end
Fear turns to hate. "Great Wanga will befall the Lafayettes

Salem help me, save us...Salem help me, save us
By turning them to dust

So take this money and off you go
To Madame Sarita's Boutique of Voodoo
A snake curse and a little "Goofer Dust"
You Salem will be the link between them and us
This could be an easy way to turn the Lafayettes to dead"

[solo Andy]

Two hours later. Salem leaves Madame Sarita
"My my my my my God, Salem is looking scary
My my my my my God, now he's heading for the cemetery

[solo Herb]

Kneeling in front of the graves
A handful of soll and Salem is on his way
He must leave a copper penny as payment for the soil
And to protect himself
From all the spirits that could come and dig themselves
Into his head... Dead...Dead...Dead...Salem is here

By the house, in the dark, there is a shadow digging
The snake in the bottle, is buried and it's ready

Salem is moving without a sound
Everyone's sleeping, but me cause I don't need it.. No

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
