King Diamond - Them/ Conspiracy (2005) by King Diamond (보컬) on maniadb.com

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

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

Guitar solo ANDY, Guitar solo PETE

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

Guitar solo PETE

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

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

Guitar solo ANDY, Guitar solo PETE

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

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

Guitar 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?

Guitar 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.

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

Guitar solo ANDY

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

Guitar solo PETE

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

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

Guitar 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

Guitar solo: Pete, Guitar 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

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

Guitar solo: Andy, Guitar solo: Pete, Guitar 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"

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"

Guitar solo: Andy, Guitar 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

Guitar solo: Pete, Guitar 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

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"

Guitar solo PETE

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"

Guitar solo ANDY

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?"

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"

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

Guitar 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

Guitar 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."
