King Diamond [Group]

Sacrifice, holy rites, secrecy and alter wine
Black candies burning low
To the meetings again they go
Picard can't wait to take away another soul
Oh it's a shame, Picard was so insane

In the year of 1642, it came to an end
In 1642, imprisonment

Sacrifice, holy rites, secrecy and alter wine
Black death come this way, Father Picard will soon be going
He's ill, so sick, now his meetings are forever over
Oh it's a shame, they went along with his game

In the year of 1642, it came to an end
In 1642, imprisonment
Guitar solo ANDY
Sacrifice, holy rites, secrecy and alter wine
The nuns can't take her blame
One after one they suffer a breakdown
Confession, confession, they confess to diabolic possession
Oh it's shame, even Madeleine has gone insane

In the year of 1642, Madeline was leaving hell in 1642, she
found freedom in her prison cell

I stumbled out of Grandma's room, down the stairs and out of the house
Once outside I felt My mind begin to fight a battle for control

With the tea pot broken I kind of realized
That "THEIR" power was less here, here on the outside

I fell to my knees in haziness
And I looked in through the window to the cellar

Things were moving down there, "THEY" were searching for something
And "THEY" really found it, the big axe was flying

Flying out through the cellar door
Up the stairs to the kitchen...
Then I passed out

Guitar solo: Andy

The next thing I remember seeing was the smoke coming from the chimney
I soon realized the smoke I saw was actually... Oh No!
All there was left of Missy and her dress, poor little girl

Guitar solo: Pete

The spell was broken, I really felt the change
As my mind and body became one again

The moon was alive with its silvery eye
Staring right into My evil heart

I went back to see if My Grandma' was still there
Waiting for me in the attic... Oh I hate that bitch

Listen, I'm a corpse, I'm a corpse
I'm a corpse without soul
Satan, he's taken, he's taken, he's taken his toll
And he took it out on me
I, I'm trapped, I'm trapped, I'm trapped in his spell
Tonight, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going to hell, inside his spell
I was walking down among the graves, I heard a cry, my shadow is gone


Emptiness in my body, I felt so alone, small black wings on my naked back
Now guess what I saw on one of the stones, I saw my soul, in a magical
Haze
It was all dressed up as a corpse in a wedding dress
Small black wings on my naked back, now hear my prayer, beggin' for mercy
I'm living to die, satan has taken his toll.

Tonight the circle is meeting again
Who will be the first to fall in trance
In here nobody is sensing the rain
Tonight a spirit will glance

So as they're approaching ghostly hour
Seven people here are joining hands
They think they know the spirit to appear
Contact, the table starts to dance

Time is standing still
It's a dangerous meeting
They're gonna get themselves killed

Solo: m.d.

Tonight the circle is broken forever


Seven people dead within a trance
In here nobody is sensing the rain
Tonight seven souls are reaching hell

Time was standing still
The meeting is over
Their journey is on

Oh, they should have known
Not to play with the powers of hell

Some people have lost their way
Some people have lost their mind

(music: hank shermann;
Lyrics: king diamond)

It must be summer the sky is clear
The garden is so beautiful
All the flowers and all the trees
Make Me feel like they're inside of Me
I'm holding My sister's hand
While we're playing in the sand
It's all but a dream

My bed is moving, I cannot see a thing
I am in total darkness, someone is calling
I can feel the chill, it's all around Me
I know it's not a dream, No no no

Someone is in My room
Standing at the end of My bed
Must be a visit from the dead
Must be a visit from the dead

Guitar solo PETE

Now I see her figure, it's just a little child
And there's no reflection, she's in the mirror
Could it really be, has she returned?
My little sister

"King beware... something bad is coming Your way...
King beware"
Must be a visit from the dead
Must be a visit from the dead
Missy will You tell Me
You know we don't have no secrets
"Just beware"

Guitar solo ANDY

Must be a visit from the dead
Must be a visit from the dead
You've to to tell Me Missy
Come on now, spit out little girl

"I will send You a dream..."

THEME: Andy. SOLO: Mike.
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

The coach had stopped and from the window you could see
7 horsemen in the night
Miriam Natias and Jonathan LaFey
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

SOLO: Andy.

"We know You've come to inherit what's Yours...The Mansion
Take our advise and go back on this night
If you refuse 18 will become 9...Oh No"
Oh 18 is 9

THEME: Andy. SOLO: Mike.
Jonathan laughed and said "Get out of My way"
"I don't believe a word You say"
The 7 horsemen disapeared into the night
and said "Someday You'll need our help my friend"

I think poor Jonathan was scared

18 is actually 9...It stuck in his mind

SOLO: Andy.

"That must be it!"

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"

Walking in the garden, picking flowers in the sun
Madeleine is on her own
She can't see any of the other nuns
Is she blind or is it her mind
What's going on? What's going on behind these walls...

All the birds are singing, but Madeleine can't hear their song
Memories of screams in the night
Moaning coming from below where the prison cells are cold
She does not understand what's going on
Guitar solo ANDY, Guitar solo PETE
Now the bell is ringing, communion time has come again
Is Father Picard really a friend?
The Bible in her hand reminds her of the wine
The sour tasting blood of Christ
What's going on? What's going on behind these walls....
Guitar solo ANDY
What's going on? Behind these walls....

Sitting in the cellar, watching all the others

It was only yesterday, needles in my skin
THEY turned my last remains into this Puppet thing

Blood to walk, blood to see
Blood to walk again and Blood to be

I can see, but I cannot move at all
Yet I have feelings, I know it's very strange

Blood to walk, blood to see
Blood to walk again and Blood to be

I'm on my shelf...Eternal eyes they never sleep
I take a look...and in the dark I see Victoria

[solo: Andy]

There is no mistake, that is my beloved
Sitting on her shelf.. alone and so dead

[solo: Mike]

There's a light outside the door
Mommy and Daddy are back for more.. "Let's play"

"Hello my children...In Blood I will teach you"

[solos: Mike - Andy]


THEY take Victoria down from her shelf
THEY sit her on the floor.. and me in front of her

Blood to walk, blood to see
Blood to walk again and Blood to be

There are strings attached to our heads
There are strings in arms and legs
The Puppet Master"s hands
Oh they keep us straight

Pressing the needle in...I feel the sting, it's Emerencia
Injecting Blood...Into the both of us...It's hot

I think I see her move
There's a tingle in our skin
I can't believe...That she can she again...

There is no mistake, that is my beloved
I have missed you so.. oh no
It's like a Horror Show without a word we know
As we communicate.. with our eyes.. deep inside
We wonder why

Why our minds are now in our eyes
We can move without any strings

"They're alive...that's enough for today.. put them away"

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

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"

The inquisition will take her to the hill
Ready for the kill, giving GOD his will
Everybody's there, none of them will care
Not a single prayer

Burn in the night, You're the devil's child
Burn in the night, You're the devil's child

Looking at the sky, soon the girl will die
Nobody will cry, hear her screaming "why?"
The priests are all in line, now they give the sign
Let the fire shine

Burn in the night, You're the devil's child
Burn in the night, You're the devil's child

They say the devil is here tonight
Then let him play his violin so wild

Higher, burning higher, flames will soon devour
Higher, burning higher, the smell of skin turned sour
Guitar solo ANDY
Higher, burning higher, her lefs are scorched by life
Ashes to ashes, I see a smile on their wicked faces
Guitar solo PETE
Burn in the night, You're the devil's child
Burn in the night, You're the devil's child
Guitar solo ANDY
Lightning from the sky, magic's coming by
As her necklace flies height into her eye
The priests are all in line, now they give the sign
Let the fire die

Burned in the night, there are no remains
Burned in the night, just a magic chain

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

Down into the dark I go, armed with just a candle and then my soul
Cryptic messages written on the floor
Rats are nibbling at my feet, I send one off to nevermore
Too much darkness, spiders on my eyes
Webs are hanging from my thighs, the fatter ones must die
I see shadows walking straight and tall
I don't know how they move, dancing on the walls
Presence of fear, a presence so near
I wonder what could be so powerful beyond the dark
Human bones... in little chambers all along the narrow halls
Catacomb, death over life... catacomb, am I here to die?
I see a light, I push some bones aside
Down into the dark I go, another chamber, a chamber with a glow
Could this be a doorway to another world?
Or darkness playing tricks, with my little mind?
The virgin mary is standing tall
A full size figure carved in wood up against the wall
Her face is peeling from all the years gone by


Is it just a statue, or is it what I'm looking for?
I break her face and see another one instead
The mummy's face appears as the bandages they fall
Dried out face with hate upon me gaze
How grotesque... the mummy wears a crown of thorns
From the empty sockets where it's eyes should be
An entity of light is pouring out towards me
And then the sound... jesus christ,what have they done to you?
I'm running for my life, I'm running from the night
But it's so hard to breathe, the stench down here is much too much
Satan help me, help me god
Help me anyone, anyone who hears my cry of fear
Cold winds from far beyond the dark
Chasing through the catacomb and breathing down my neck
Human bones... in little chambers all along the narrow halls
Catacomb, death over life... catacomb, am I here to die?
I know I'm here to die

Our finest gifts we bring
To lay before the King...Oh when we come"

[solo: Mike]

It's Christmas again.. it will never be the same
It's Christmas again, I know
There's only sadness in my soul

It's Christmas again...It'll never be the same

And as the snow is falling from the sky
All I wanna do is cry
I got to get away from here
I gotta get away........

By tomorrow, I will be gone
By tomorrow, I'll see the sun again
But tonight...I am...The Little Drummer boy

Tonight...I am...the one who will destroy

The secrets never told before
Of those who lost their souls


There are sad things in the Darkness
There are sad things all around us

It's Christmas again.. it will never be the same
It's Christmas again, I know
There's only sadness in my soul

It's Christmas again... It'll never be the same

[solo: Andy]

"Come they told me
A newborn King to see
Our finest gifts we bring
To lay before the King..."
Now here I go
I'm falling on my face, drum breaking on the stage
Oh My God it's such a big disgrace

It's Christmas again.. it will never be the same
It's Christmas again, I know
There's only sadness in my soul

[solo: Mike]

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."

Tuesday evening

One single hour, is like a working day
Father Malone is getting tired
Darkness...has come again
The Demons seem to be resting
Sarah is looking just like Hell
There ain't much left of her to save now

Meanwhile in Salem's quarters
There's shadow that moves
Into a room full of secrets of life
Into a room only few have survived
There is a cross upon the wall
The cross of Baron Samedi
The shadow is taking the cross away
The shadow is Lula, the girl that no one ever sees

I see her shadow with that cross mine
I see her shadow slipping into the night
The cross of Baron Samedi will set us free
The cross of Baron Samedi, just wait and see

The cross of Baron Samedi is full of nails
The cross of Baron Samedi could split your head
Take it to Sarah... Take it to Sarah... Sarah

Darkness..she's up again
Sarah is standing in front of Father Malone
Sleeping..the Father's on a chair
Sarah is saying: "Father, I'm about to sin"

Then one to the Father's head
The cross is coming down so hard
Screaming, bleeding, Malone goes down
Again and...again and...his blood is all around

In comes Grandpa: "Stop it Sarah stop"
I don't know why, but Sarah dropped the cross
Two hours later everyone was here
Police and ambulance, wiping up the tears

Samedi... Samedi... Samedi

Away out in egypt in the valley of kings
Where the mummified pharaohs
Pretend dead in their sleep

Don't touch, never ever steal
Unless you're in for the kill
Or you'll be hit by the curse of the pharaohs
Yes you'll be hit and the curse is on you

Now if you're breakin' the seals
And disturbing the peace
Then you're startin' up a curse
Bringin' evil disease


Don't touch, never ever steal
Unless you're in for the kill
Or you'll be hit by the curse of the pharaohs
Yes you'll be hit and the curse is on you

The curse of the pharaohs can be so deadly
Or just destroying your future
Takin' it all shady

Don't touch, never ever steal
Unless you're in for the kill
Or you'll be hit by the curse of the pharaohs
Yes you'll be hit and the curse is on you

For 13 days.. we have trained and trained
We're learning to walk again, we're learning to stretch our skin

Every time THEY bring us back to life
Little jars come down from the shelves
Every time we feel the sting
Every time we feel the Blood going in

Our eyes are now our minds
Our Souls.. are in our magical skin
The Blood THEY use must come from our own
Living just an hour, then we fade again

"In the Darkness we live our lives"
In the dark we die again
"In the Darkness we live our lives"
In the dark we die and die and die again

Darkness...Darkness

Every night Victoria and I
We spend what's left of the Blood in our systems
Sitting on opposite shelves
Talking with our eyes, trying to remember
It is all that we've got

Our eyes are now our minds
Our Souls.. are in our magical skin
We're living through our memories
And it's worth it...



"In the Darkness we live our lives"
In the dark we die again
"In the Darkness we live our lives"
In the dark we die and die and die again

Darkness...Darkness
The Puppet Master is hear again

[solo: Andy]

[P.M.:] "Tonight you will dance for me Puppet Girl
Tonight.. no strings attached"

"But I can't, never did I dance, oh I don't have a chance"

[P.M.:] "Dance"

"I take a step, oh I try my best
I stumble into the shelves with all the jars"
6...6 of them coming down
Broken glass and Puppet life is on the floor

"In the Darkness we live out lives"
[P.M.:] "Send her far away, far away from here"
"In the Darkness we live our lives"
[P.M.:] "To the other theater.. tomorrow morning she must be gone
Send her to Berlin...send that

I'm back again, back in the evil night, and you're waiting
Doomed by the living dead, flames are rising, can't you see you're dying
The wolves are howlin', a baby's cry in the distance, cold winds
blowing
in the dead of night, flames are rising, can't you see you're dying
No way to survive this evil night, if the dead won't leave you alone
So just say goodbye to all your holy angels, you're gonna die
Long black hair, face like a dead, I am here, Satan in my head
You can't see nothing but confusing mirrors, now you feel it
It's getting nearer, flames are rising, can't you see you're dying
So dark in your mind, breath of Satan in my back, I can't help you
cause I'm one of the dead, flames are rising, can't you see you're dying
No way to survive this evil night, if the dead won't leave you alone
So just say goodbye to all your f**kin' angels.

It was in the local paper:
"We will cure your every phobia
At Devil Lake Sanitarium
We will make you feel you're right at home"

No more sleepless night, No more unpleasant sight
We can recreate paradise
And you don't even have to sacrifice a thing

It only took about a minute's time
For poor old Harry to make up his mind
So he headed for Devil Lake
Knowing doctores were awaiting him

No more sleepless night, No more unpleasant sight
We can recreate paradise
And you don't even have to sacrifice a thing

[HARRY:] "My name is Harry and I am from the country side
I'm looking for a doctor, Eastman is his name"

[Dr.EASTMANN:] "We welcome you with open arms,
We've all been looking forward to having you here,'
At Devil Lake Sanitarium
You must always sign a special paper first"

[HARRY:] "I will sign anything just to get rid of my fears
I just want to live a life, where do you want me to sign?"

[Dr. EASTMANN:] "Right here on the dotted line
This will give me the freedom I need for you
At Devil Lake Sanitarium
You know we are the very best at what we do...
OH YES!"

Now that we have got his signature
I think it's time to start the Eastmann Cure
So put him in the straight
I think Room 17 is still our whitest room

No more sleepless night, No more unpleasant sight
We can recreate paradise
And you don't even have to sacrifice a thing

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...

I was born on the cemetery
Under the sign of the moon
Raised from my grave by the dead
I was made a mercenary
In the legions of hell
Now I'm king of pain, I'm insane

You know my only pleasure
Is to hear you cry
I'd love to hear you cry
I'd love to feel you die
And I'll be the first


To watch your funeral
And I'll be the last to leave
I'd love to hear you cry

And when you're down beyond the ground
I'll dig up your body again
And make love to shame
Oh lady cry, and say goodbye
Oh lady cry, and say goodbye

You've gotta say goodbye
'cause I will eat your mind

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
Guitar solo ANDY, Guitar solo PETE
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

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

A new chaplain has arrived
Madeleine and a few other nuns
At the convent will meet him tonight

Father Picard:
"Welcome to my quarters, do come inside
Welcome dearest Sisters, come into the light"

"I'm Father Picard, I'm taking over
Things will be different here
you are the four GOD has chosen
To be his angels in white
Drink My sweet holy wine"

"Oh yeah come on it's not a crime
From now on every sunday this time
You will attend this communion of mine"

Father Picard is hiding something
A white powder for the wine

Father Picard:
"I'm Father Picard, I'm taking over
Things will be different here
you are the four GOD has chosen
To be his angels in white
Drink My sweet holy wine"

The nuns freak out, lust in their eyes
From now on every sunday this time
Father Picard's in control of their minds

Father Picard is hiding something
A white powder for the wine

(Music and lyrics by Kind Diamond)
I don¹t know if I¹m dead or alive
All I know is I¹m running out of time
Oh, I¹m leaving my body... Oh, leaving it behind
From the other side, looking down I know that it¹s me
From the other side, looking down It¹s the devil I see
Someone down there is saving my life
I see a tear being shed by THE EYE
Oh, drifting much higher... Oh, Into the light
From the other side, looking down I know that it¹s me
From the other side, looking down It¹s the devil I see
Solo : La Rocque
I see the strangest faces
Faces that I¹ve never seen before
They see through empty spaces
Spaces that do not exist no more
I swear by the moon and the devil
I¹ll be their guardian if they will be mine
There¹s a demon with red glowing eyes
He¹s invading the body that was mine
Oh, Is there still time ... Oh, Time to return
From the other side, looking down I know that it¹s me
From the other side, looking down it¹s the devil I see
I guess I wasn¹t ready yet
Rcause someone there is calling me back from the dead
Demon, demon, are you there
Demon, demon, leave my lair
Solo : La Rocque
From the other side, looking down I know that it¹s me
From the other side, looking down it¹s the devil I see
WAKE UP !!!

and let the last of the 7 be drawn through

so that she may never rise and cause evil again

Who will be the first?"

Madeleine is running away from herself
Afraid of shame, she's crying out for help
To be clean again
Guitar solo ANDY
No one cared and no one ever will
Her feelings were not shared, she wants to break the spell
and she's going

Into the convent, a smile on her face
Into the darkness to hide all her sins
Wondering what could go wrong in this place

Father David: "Welcome Sister, I'm Your chaplain
Down on Your knees and pray if You please
in This convent I'm Your master
Kiss My cross now dearest Sister
In the Name of ... "
Guitar solo ANDY
Madeleine is running away from herself
As father David said: "At comminion You must be undressed"
Why did she go

Into the convent, a smile on her face
Into the darkness to hide all her sins
Wondering what could go wrong in this place
Guitar solo ANDY
Father David: "Come along Sister Madeleine
Unfold Your wildest dreams, it's time to join and sing
Let the feast begin"

That night she awoke to find "The Eye"
On the stone cold floor Why, She never ever would knoe why
But she put it on
Guitar solo PETE
Next day father David passed away
At communion time
Why, he never ever would know why
But he looked at "The Eye"

The eye of the necklace is laking it's toll
Inside the convent a soul will rejoice

Again I'm so alone, the wine is pouring down
No one to share with, no one to care with
The only light in my life
Comes from the candlelight, black candles left behind
As I'm sitting through the night
I'm so cold and dark inside
Angel, your memory will haunt me till the day I die
Just a shadow, a shadow of a man
I'm just a shadow, a shadow of a man
The eyes of statues standing along the nave
They seem to follow my every move, every tear I shed
I am no longer living, but I am still not dead
I'm somewhere in between, I am of the unseen
Must we have the other side, just to feel alive?
Oh I wonder what would be had we not created me
Just a shadow, a shadow of a man
I'm just a shadow, a shadow of a man


The eyes of statues standing along the nave
They seem to follow my every move
They drive me insane
Surrounded by darkness in this cold church of thine
I try to remember, all that once was mine
I don't know what tomorrow will bring
But if life is so divine, how come I suffer so in mine?
How come I suffer in mine?
The eyes of statues standing along the nave
They seem to follow my every move
They drive me insane
I am no longer of the living, but I am still not dead
I'm somewhere in between, I am of the unseen
I lived a lifetime of sorrow and hate, up until the other day
That's when I left this sick old world behind
Oh how love can make you blind

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"

Doctor: "Who's gonna set fire to the coffin?"

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

Yesterday I spent an hour
A full hour in therapy

My God I hate his breath

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

"Mommy... mommy... mommy... mommy"

[Solo: Mike]

Later that Night in her Room,Abigail was drifting off to sleep.
All of what she had seen Today, was hard to believe.

Then the screams of a child in pain, creeping deep into her brain
Then the screams of a child in pain, she cannot find her mommy
And that's a shame

Abigail was quickly on her feet
Down the stairs and into the dark, Abigail was following the sound
And there she was: THE CHILD

It was clearly a ghost... the ghost from the gate in the storm
"Little girl, tell me who you are?"
"I am your spirit twin from years ago, I'm LITTLE ONE"

That brought back memories of Abigail when turning six


Sneaking out of bed, like she always did

[Solo: Andy]

Hiding in the dark, listening to the men
Tell their stories from way back then
She remembered the story of Jonathan

And they'd been talking about the Little One

[Solo: Mike]

Then the screams of a child in pain, creeping deep into her brain
Then the screams of a child in pain, she cannot find her mommy
And that's a shame

Abigail she knew she had to stay
Saving Little One and breaking the chain... breaking the chain

Same old wall, still hanging tall
Same old nail.. through my throat
Eighteen years came along
And this time I never
I never saw my Love

I'm going insane
THEY sold me to this little shop
Where I remain

Living Dead...I'm feeling like a Living Dead
Living Dead...Two blue eyes in an empty head
Dead Dead Dead

Eighteen years came along
And this time I never
I never saw my Love
This life is NOTHINGNESS
Life on a wall, time to be called back.. to the Beyond

[solos: Andy - Mike - Andy ]

There's a rumour going around and around
They say The Puppet Master


Is gonna build another theater in London Town

For Kids
Run by his son and daughter
It's gonna be a bloody mess

Living Dead...I'm feeling like a Living Dead
Living Dead, Living
Forever on the same old wall
Forever with that nail going through my throat

All the children, who see me in this shop
They are scared of me, they say I'm looking sick
My eyes follow them
Never to be sold again

Life is never fair...Life is air

"Will I ever see his eyes again
Will I ever see him again"

Where is she now... "Where is he now"...

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

White 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...

I leave it up me me girl, you tell me when and I'll act
By the first light of dawn, daddy will be on his way
By the first light of dawn, no more daddy, I say

I leave it up to me girl
You tell me when and I'll make him disappear

I can feel...the sun will soon be here
Get away from that string my dear
What do you think you're doing lucy

Too late, I should have seen it coming my way
Glass from the broken window, oh so high above
Heading straight for my neck

By the first light of dawn, my body lost it's head
By the first light of dawn, oh god...i'm dead

I feel...my soul is, creeping...up into my brain

I guess I would be scared, if I weren't already dead
But my blackened heart has told me
No one really cares anyway
Lucy, what are you doing now, do not set him free girl


Lucy, what are you doing now
You better take a listen to my head
Did you hear what it said

The view is so very strange, so strange from here
Facing the floor is hard, when you're nothing but a ball
How could the mayor win, and I become one of them
I'm just a head on the floor
My body is over there, but I am still right here


Lucy...you cannot leave me like this

Lucy, I hear your little feet coming my way
Pick me up and let us head for home
But not a word to daddy
So she puts me in her backpack

Lucy forever, I'll be with lucy forever
Lucy forever, I'll be with lucy forever
Lucy forever, I'll be with lucy forever
Lucy forever, I'll be with lucy forever
Ever...ever...ever...ever...ever...ever

In the darkness...after the show
Outside the Theater, the air is damp and cold
All the people.. heading for home
They don't believe, that what they saw was MAGIC

Oh..it was Magic I know
This night was full of it, I never saw the undertow...No
Never saw the EVIL, never saw the EVIL
I never saw the EVIL down below

"I will never forget that night"
I saw the MAGIC in your eyes
We will never forget that night
We saw the MAGIC in each other's eyes

[solo: Andy]

In the darkness.. after the show
Outside the Theater, the air is damp and cold
All the people.. they are gone
Just you and me, and we believe in MAGIC

Oh.. it was Magic I know
Talking the night away, the things we like are all the same


Wanna get to know her, wanna get to know her
I gotta get to know her deep down inside

[solo: Mike]

Suddenly I feel so cold...it feels as if a Ghost is next to me
Cold breath in my ear, as it whispers: "KISS HER NOW"

Oh.. it was Magic I know
That kiss one year ago, a magic seal of our eternal love
Tonight she went to the Theater alone
But she never came home and I gotta find her now

"I will never forget that night"
I saw the MAGIC in your eyes
We will never forget that night
We saw the MAGIC in each other's eyes
"I will never forget that night"
I saw the MAGIC in your eyes
We will never forget that night
We saw the MAGIC in each other's eyes

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

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

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

Midnight...I see the snow that's falling
Midnight...Still hanging on this wall

I'm thinking back in time
To when there was still a life
Free of Misery
Oh...But it was never to be

Midnight...I see the snow that's falling
Midnight...And still you're haunting me

I'm thinking back in time
To the cellar in the darkest night
All the misery
All....The blood I had to see

Midnight...Midnight...Midnight...Midnight...
They're ready for the show
Now the blood must flow
They're waiting above
Oh Noooo!

"Let the show begin"

Curtain of black were inside the room
Shutting out the light, the light that always hurt his eyes
There was nothing bright in the 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 my 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?
The shadow could not believe the likeness in her face
It looked as if Miriam had come back from the grave
I am Count De La Fey and you are
Abigail she whispered and she shivered to the bone
Can I.. he said 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
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 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 another cabinet
Behind the glass doors 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
