INTRODUCTION
밴드 MERCYFUL FATE의 해체 후 남은 멤버들에 의해 결성된 킹 다이아몬드는 데뷔 앨범인 [FATAL PORTRAIT]로 호평을 받았으며, 이어 발표한 [ABIGAIL]은 명실공히 헤비 메탈씬의 가장 훌륭한 컨셉 앨범이라는 평가를 받았다. 보컬 킹 다이아몬드의 컬트적이고 독특한 목소리에 기타리스트 앤디 라로크의 아름다운 연주, 잘 짜여진 컨셉과 연극 적인 면모 등이 돋보인다 ....  ....

"We are gathered here tonight,
To lay to rest Abigail Le'Fey,
Whom we now know was first born dead
On the seventh day of July, 1777.
Abigail must be nailed to her coffin with seven silver spikes,
One through each arm, hand, and knee,
And let the last of the seven be drawn through her mouth
So that she may never arise and cause evil again.
Who will be the first?"
"I, O'Brian of the Black Horsemen...."

"That must be it!"
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...where no one dares to go.
The coach had stopped, and from the window you could see
Seven horsemen in the night.
Miriam Natias and Jonathan la Fey
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....
"We know you've come to inherit what's yours...The Mansion.
Take our advice and go back on this night.
If you refuse 18 will become 9...Oh No!"
Oh 18 is 9!
Jonathan laughed and said, "Get out of my way.
I don't believe a word you say."
The seven horsemen disappeared into the night.
"Someday you'll need our help, my friend...."
I think poor Jonathan was scared....
18 is actually 9...It stuck in his mind....

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 that swells to be
A house where evil rules 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....
And the house began to breathe, it seemed to be alive.
Yeah, the house began to breathe -- alive.
As the candlelight began to fade,
And Jonathan said, "Let's go to bed."
The fireplace had ceased to 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!

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 la Fey
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..."
"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 sarcophagus of a child!
"Abigail has been in here for years and years . . . stillborn."
"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!"

Count de LaFey uncovered his cheating wife.
Nine 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.
Then he burned his beloved wife,
And the embryo he gave a name. . .
"Abigail, you must rest in shame!
Rest in shame!"
Obsessed
With a strange idea,
He wanted to mummify
The girl for the future to find . . . and he did.
So he pushed her down the stairs to die. . .
"No!" she cried. . .
In 1777, on the 7th Day of July. . . .

Nobody's inside the church, but the bell is ringing.
For no reason, the flowers are dying.
Oh, deadly Omens!
Oh, deadly Omens!
Inside the mansion, the air is unbearable -- a rotten smell.
In the dining room, the table is set for three.
Oh, deadly Omens!
Oh, deadly Omens!
"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! Did you?!"
"No, no, no!"
Oh, deadly Omens!
Oh, deadly Omens

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...."
But it wasn't love!
She was possessed . . . and he knew!
"I will get what is rightfully mine!"
Speaking with different tongues,
Miriam was eaten alive from inside.
Again she said, "I'm having your baby my love...."
But it wasn't love!
She was possessed . . . possessed!

"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...."
"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!"
"Oh, Jonathan! This is Miriam!
Our time is out!
Remember the stairs! It's the only way!"
"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!!!"

So, there they stood at the top of the stairs....
Miriam in the mood . . . Jonathan was scared.
Gazing into the dark, Jonathan saw this glow....
For a second, he turned his back,
And she was there like a ghost.
She pushed 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.
Her 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 seven Horsemen would arrive before the dawn.
Servants of the Count when Abigail was born the first time.
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....

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]

Come come to the sabbath, down by the
Ruined bridge
Witches and demons are coming
Just follow the magic call
Come come to the sabbath, down by the
Ruined bridge
Later on the master will join us
Called from the heart of hell
At first we light up a fire, and then we hail
Our lord
Two candles, a black and a white, are placed
Upon the altar
North, south, east and west, and so we
Clean the air
High priestess invoking the devil, infernal
Names are spoken
Come to the sabbath...sabbath
...sabbath...sabbath
Come to the sabbath
The ceremony's proceeding, it's time to
Grant your wishes
An evil curse on the priest who took the life
Of melissa
Now we must close up the ritual, read the
Enochian key
And so it will be done, amen... now come
Come to the sabbath...sabbath
...sabbath...sabbath
Come to the sabbath...now here we come
Solo: h.s.
If you say heaven, I say a castle of lies
You say forgive him, I say revenge
My sweet satan, you are the one

The Portrait
The Spirit Of The Candle:
"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"
"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
"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"

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

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
