(Music by Hank Shermann Lyrics by King Diamond) Back in Tennessee, I saw a family haunted by an entity It was a tragedy in another century Oh...They never would know the Evil One that came Little Betsy, the age of 12 Living in a dream The first one to scream Invisible hands leaving their mark in the dark Solo: Denner Night after night The Bell Witch attacked and attacked Torturing Betsy, until a circle was held in candle light Tell us who you are Please tell us who you are "I am the air you breathe I am the Bell Witch I am a million years I am the Bell Witch" Solo: Shermann The Bell Witch decided It was the time for the father to scream Soon taken ill, never again to leave his bed alive Tell us who you are Please tell us who you are "I am the air you breathe I am the Bell Witch I am a million years I am the Bell Witch" "Goodnight John, see you in Hell... Say bye bye to Daddy, Betsy" Call the doctor!!! ..."I made sure" Call the doctor!!! ..."There ain't no cure" Solo: Shermann That night John he died And the Bell Witch never came again Soon they realized, the witch had given John bad medicine |

(Music by Hank Shermann Lyrics by
King Diamond) Do you remember the bridge? The bridge that was standing in ruin Do you remember the sign? Demons and witches were doing They say it's a bad place They say it's a magic place Deep down under The soil of this unholy land Deep down under The roots of a tree they have damned It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree Solo: Shermann Nothing will grow in the ground The Old Oak is killing it all If you are ever around Beware of the Oak and its charm It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree It's the Old Oak Hanging Tree The Old Oak might make you blind The Old Oak might trick your eyes Hypnotized..... It's a bad sign When the Autumn comes and the leaves are gone Oh it's a bad sign The Oak must feed in order to breed Bad sign....... Bad sign It's a bad sign when the Autumn comes And the leaves are gone It's a nightmare found I wonder... what made this magic tree so Solo: Shermann Solo: Denner Hang with me, hang with the hangman Another season in another century Hang with me, hang with the hangman Blood from the madmen we hung in that tree Blood to the ground Blood to the roots.... Red All around the Old Oak Deep into the ground they buried them Indians of ancient times Saw it as a holy shrine Can you believe, sacrificing their own Must have been a mighty GOD To receive a gift of life All the people must have known Happiness would come if sown Can you believe, sacrificing their own Solo: Denner The Old Oak might make you blind The Old Oak might trick your eyes Hypnotized..... Solo: Shermann No! Don't hang with me As I go back to the Old Oak tree |

(Music & lyrics by King Diamond)
When the darkness eats away the day And the moon bears witness to the graves In the shadows we are alive In the shadows, The Light Can you see the ghosts above our heads? We are all in there with the dead In the shadows we are alive In the shadows, The Light Solo: Shermann In the darkness there is no holding back There is no gold in black Deep in the night Everything is clear Clearer than daylight In the land of mystery we share You can come along if you dare In the shadows we are alive In the shadows, The Light Solo: Denner We are hiding in the shadows on your wall We are watching as you kiss your little doll When the darkness leaves the night We cannot see The Light no more No more We are always in the shadows by your door But when the darkness leaves the night We cannot see The Light no more No more There is no holding back There is no gold in black Deep in the night Everything is clear Clearer than daylight Solo: Denner Solo: Shermann |

(Music by Michael Denner Lyrics by
King Diamond) Everything is so strange in here And as I look through your eyes I can see what you're thinking of me I am deep inside Deep inside your head, causing you pain Deep inside your head, causing you pain Eternal pain All your secrets are done my dear And as I look through your eyes I can see all the things that you fear I am deep inside Deep inside your head, causing you pain Deep inside your head, causing you pain Eternal pain Solo: Shermann I'm the dreams you don't wanna dream I'm the things you don't wanna see I'm the dreams you don't wanna dream I am the night of sin..... Solo: Denner I wanna see you in tears The end is near..... I am deep inside Deep inside your head, causing you pain Deep inside your head, causing you pain Eternal pain I've come to give you a gruesome time For all the evil you have done I'll keep a coming until the end I'll keep a coming back my friend |

(Music & Lyrics by King Diamond)
The mansion was right on the shore Down by the lake Nobody had lived here before But the Devil himself Thirteen invitations Sent out through the night Thirteen invitations They would all arrive in time Solo: Shermann They gathered around the mansion Thirteen in all They had the same intention Never to fall Thirteen invitations Sent out through the night Thirteen invitations Promising eternal life So you want to be alive forevermore I will turn the wheel of time None of you will ever have to die I will turn the wheel of time Turning the wheel Turning the wheel of time But first we must play a game The game of souls Sit down! Don't move around! Deal those cards! They played all night 'till the morning light And the Devil, he smiled on his own They played all night for eternal life Or the chance of losing their souls High will win, low is the sin They played all night in the burning light The thirteen were sharing a nine High will win, low is the sin The final card was in the Devil's hand The King of Diamonds would win Solo: Denner Solo: Shermann They could never leave the mansion Forever inside They had lost their souls of creation But they were alive Thirteen invitations Sent out through the night Thirteen invitations And the mansion was mine |

(Music by Hank Shermann Lyrics by
King Diamond) "The Rise" I'm an undertaker I'm a ghost in the night I'm a coffin shaker This graveyard site is mine Take a look at the sky, see that evil eye Tonight the moon is cold as ice Oh yeah...cold as ice...oh yeah There's a black horse waiting Will HE be on time? The graveyard's shaking Should I turn my eyes and walk away Take a look at the sky, see that evil eye Tonight the Headless Rider rides Midnight...let the churchbell ring It's midnight, All Hallows Eve It's midnight, All Hallows Eve I see him rising from his grave I see him rising from his grave....... "The Chase" On All Hallows Eve, Never to forget He rides the open field In search of his head My GOD, he's so grotesque Should I stay? My GOD, a scythe in his hand NO WAY He's coming...I'm running He's coming...I'm running Deep inside I know I'm the one He's coming...I'm running Deep inside I know this is wrong Help me, I'm falling down Solo: Shermann I'm falling down... I'm looking up...I'm in a grave "Doomed" In this hollow grave I can smell that he's near Will I ever never make it Will I shed a tear Oh it's strange how everything's changing Now my life is fading away In this hollow grave I see a bony hand Don't you ever never take it It's the key to his land Oh it's strange how everything's changing Now my life is fading away Solo: Denner Oh it's strange how everything's changing Now my life is fading away NO! "Epilogue" The mind in my headless body Seems to be chained to the inside I cannot move towards the light... And as he rides away Leaving me with this curse I hear his laughter in the distance Actually it's my laughter, he stole my head Does this mean I'll be The One next year??? |

(Music and Lyrics by King Diamond)
Oh...Melissa, You're in my dreams You're with me every day Oh...Melissa, could that really be your voice I hear? Too soon for you and I The priest took his sacrifice And sent you to the other side Oh...Melissa, You're in my dreams You're with me every day Oh...Melissa, do you remember the time we shared? Do you remember the magic nights? I will never forget your smile Do you remember the love we had?... Oh the love we had Solo: Shermann "No...Melissa" You gotta tell me why "No...Melissa" I want her by my side Solo: Shermann "This is against the rules there won't be another time" Melissa tell me why I wanna know why "No...Melissa" You gotta tell me why "No...Melissa" I want her by my side Oh...Melissa, You're in my dreams You're with me every day Oh...Melissa, close your eyes and say goodbye One last time...we'll kiss goodbye Solo: Denner I kiss your soul goodbye |
