SPARE THIS LIFE

(Diamond/Diamond)

�I, O�Brian of the Black Horsemen, forbid this sacrilege

You all know that this Demon Child has Abigail�s spirit

Inside

But what you don�t know is

That she is the reincarnation of my stillborn half-sister

Her spirit is not EVIL, nor is it GOOD

All it wants, is to make things right again

So spare this life, through which revenge can be mine

And Abigail can find her final peace

I, O�Brian, have spoken

Let it be done�

THE STORM

(Diamond/Diamond)

18 was yesterday today she was

A woman in every single way

Abigail was walking 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: Count de La Fey

MANSION IN SORROW

(LaRocque/Diamond)

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

Solo: Mike

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

Solo: Andy

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 shaven head

They went 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

MIRIAM

(Diamond/Diamond)

Curtains of black were inside the room

Shutting out the light, the light that always hurt his eyes

There was nothing bright in this 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 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?

Solo: Mike

The shadow could not believe, the likeness in her face

It looked as if his Miriam had come back from the grave

�I am Count de La Fey, and you are?�

�Abigail�, she whispered and shivered to the bone

�Can I?�, he said �Can I�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

Solo: Andy

�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 a smaller cabinet

Behind 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�

LITTLE ONE

(Diamond/Diamond)

�Mommy�mommy�mommy�mommy�

Solo: Mike

Later that night in her room, Abigail was drifting of 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

Yeah 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

Yeah 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

SLIPPERY STAIRS

(LaRocque/Diamond)

Solo: Andy

�Wake up Abigail,� midday, Henry was at her door

The Count would not rise �til the afternoon and lunch was for two

So they talked about Miriam and then Abigail said:

�What about Little One?�

Henry froze: �Oh, you mean our ghost?�

�Downstairs on the lowest floor

That�s where you will find THE DOOR
Beyond which there are slippery stairs

Leading down to the crypt

And Little One sleeps there during the day

But at night she�ll rise, searching for her Mom

Don�t you ever go there at night, it�s a sinister place

There�s so much pain, so much death, so much nothingness�

Solo: Andy

When night time came on the second day and dinner it was done

Jonathan�s headache it was gone

�Miriam please take my hand�, then his mood really changed

�Time is right to produce an heir�

Solo: Mike

Playing along with his eerie game she followed him up the stairs

Up to a room where love they would share

To a room that smelled as if Miriam was still in there

Solo: Mike

Jonathan was a hideous sight

So Abigail she killed the candlelight

What was to come, should have never been done

She was blocking her mind from his awful thing

In her mind his moaning became

Nothing but falling on slippery stairs

Falling and crying, crawling and dying

At the end of the stairs

Her eyes turned black in disgust

Hating him more with every thrust

And then it was over before it began

He was done�oh what a man

The only time he would call her MINE

THE CRYPT

(Diamond/Diamond)

The moon is outside but it can�t get in

Almost dead from his nightly sin

Jonathan is deep asleep, a perfect time�to visit the keep

Down the hallway to the lair, down down the slippery stairs

Abigail is in the crypt, a lantern in her hand

The secret of the crypt

A coffin made for a child, wondering who is inside

Oh Abigail�and off comes the lid

The smell of sick

Mummified infant on its side

A name was cut deep in the lid with a knife

And it said: Abigail

Solo: Andy

A silvery necklace was round the mummy�s neck

It had wings and was sharpened round the edge

�What are you doing here�, Henry had come in unseen

Abigail pulled on the necklace and the little mummy�s head

Was separated clean from it�s tiny neck

Then up up up, up into his throat

Twisting and turning it, ah she couldn�t stop

Brandon Henry was going down in a pool of blood

He was on the ground

Solo: Mike

There�s an eerie glow in the crypt down below

Mummified infant on its side

�Gotta go�gotta run�I�ll be back for you Little One�

In the crypt Abigail�s twin is searching for a home

Abigail�s twin is searching for her Mom

But Mommy�s in the floor and it�s made of stone

Her mommy�s in the floor and she doesn�t know

Oh she doesn�t know, she doesn�t know

Will she ever know��

BROKEN GLASS

(Diamond/Diamond)

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

But Abigail would soon feed his love away

Feed his love away

�Dinner is served�

MORE THAN PAIN
(Diamond/Diamond)

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 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�

THE WHEELCHAIR

(Diamond/Diamond)

A: �What you did to my mother, trying to kill me inside of her

Miriam she died alright, but I�m still alive

I was the sister of your father�s in another life

The father you never knew, who saved me years ago

And now I�m looking at his son

A man and his wheelchair, living in the past

No room for life, only the dark

Solo: Andy

I was so close to the end�I will never forget the coffin and nails

But little Abigail is back again

So young and beautiful, while you are living in the past

A past so dark, there is no room for life itself

And all I see when I�m looking at you

Is where EVIL always LIVED and ruled

You almost killed me�and now you must pay

A man and his wheelchair, living in the past

No room for life, only the dark

Do you even know who the Hell it is

You are keeping in the crypt?�Do you?�

Fear and twisted hate, then the feeling of being betrayed

Overwhelmed him�

A: �That child is part of ME�

Solo: Mike

He had to get up, get up and out of the wheelchair

But without his cane, Oh he didn�t stand a chance

The cane was in her hand, she used it to push him back

Push him in the chest, she was ready for attack

Then a quick blow to his wrist, four five across his back

One last one hit him on the neck

A: �I can�t believe you�re still alive

My God�, she screamed, �I�ll teach you how to die

This should light up your worthless little life

Open up your eyes�

Then she lit the torch

His eyes were burning pain, she wanted to hear him scream

And this was not a dream

Abigail was out of control

She was laughing at his every scream

This was no more the clean revenge it should have been

Abigail was feeling like the ruler of Hell

The joy of causing pain

The wheelchair was really on fire

In the middle of dying, Jonathan�s charred body was

Falling down

SPIRITS
(LaRocque/Diamond)

Jonathan is dead

And Abigail is watching his wheelchair burn

The flames lick the wooden floor

Spreading to the curtains, and then the draperies on the walls

Higher and higher they go

�I am the fire�I�m eating everything

I�ll bring this mansion down, through me they all must come�

Spirits flying through the air

Spirits crossing over to the other side

To rest in peace and never die again

And to be with long gone friends

The ghosts of those who lived here in the past

They will use the flames to leave this EVIL house

Abigail is watching the spirits and the flames

Dancing hand in hand around her long black dress

Oh around and around they go, until they touch

Abigail is on fire

Solo: Mike

Sprits flying through the air

Spirits crossing over to the other side

To rest in peace and never die again

And to be with long gone friends

Solo: Andy

There is no pain as Abigail is eaten by the flames

Her body starts to fade, emptiness is growing inside

Slowly she�s leaving her body behind

And the spirits are right by her side

Solo: Andy

Oh no here she goes, her spirit is in the air

The others guide her to the flames where they all will disappear

Spirits flying through the air

Spirits crossing over to the other side

To rest in peace and never die again

And to be with long gone friends

Theme: Andy & Kol

But Abigail forgot one thing:

�Her own little twin�

MOMMY
(Diamond/Diamond)

You could see the fire burn, you could see the colours turn

From black to no return

The night began to cry, rain from the sky

As the mansion died

Oh no�it died�oh no�it died

Deep down below, fire would not go

The crypt is still alive, listen to the child that cries

I wonder what is wrong

It�s so damp�and cold�in here, could this be the home of fear

There�s something in the dark, that should be left alone

As if it had a grave of it�s own

Solo: Mike

There�s a body on the floor, I hope there is no more

I think I�m stepping in blood

Too dark for me to see, a dark you only feel

A dark that always must be

I see a child�now I�m blind�where did she go? Oh no

Deep down below, fire would not go

The crypt is still alive, listen to the child that cries

Where did she go? She must have slipped into the dark again

Not too far away, I see a light

And there is Little One, standing by the wall

The lantern in her hand is lighting up the coffin on the stand

Oh�

I used to know your sister, your eternal spirit twin

Oh but Abigail was way too busy with revenge

And now you�re stuck in here on your own

A lonely soul who�ll never ever find a home

Oh No

She cannot find her mommy, cause mommy�s in the floor

And she doesn�t even know�who her mother really is� oh no

Solo & outro solos: Andy

Only I and a few others know who her mother really is

The Countess�The Countess�The Countess

�Mommy�Mommy��

Oh she cannot find her mommy

�Mommy�Mommy��

Cause she�s buried in the floor

But it�s NOT your mommy you�re looking for

IT�S YOURSELF!!!

SORRY DEAR

(Diamond)

�I wanna go home�it�s so cold down here

I don�t like the dark

Where are you Mommy?

Mommiii�

Will I ever see you again?

Please come back and take me away from here�

�Sorry Dear�

The Graveyard

(Music & Lyrics: Diamond)
Where am I? What am I doing here?
In this God forsaken graveyard
Yeah...that's what I'm doing...I remember now
This is my new home
And they will never find me here............

Black Hill Sanitarium

(Music: La Rocque / Lyrics: Diamond)
I have been in here for way too long
And as I walk the halls at night
I see the other inmates hiding from my eyes

This is for the mentally ill
For those who have lost the will

I have seen the sickness of all mankind
And as I walk the halls at night
I see the other inmates hiding from my eyes

This is for the mentally ill
For those who have lost the will

Black Hill Sanitarium... They're driving me crazy
Black Hill Sanitarium... They're driving me crazy here

Gotta get out of here... Gotta erase the fear
Gotta get out of here... No more silent tears
Gotta get out of here... No more silent tears

SOLO: Herb

Black Hill Sanitarium... They're driving me crazy

SOLO: Andy

I am going down, deep into the black of my mind
I've had enough
Therapy in little rooms, I'm lying down in my cocoon
Nothing here could end too soon, I'm lying down
Oh God, I hate those men in white

Oh, those men in white, sticking needles in my mind

And as I walk the halls at night
I see the other inmates hiding from my eyes

This is for the mentally ill
For those who have lost the will

Black Hill Sanitarium... They're driving me crazy
Black Hill Sanitarium... They're driving me crazy here

Gotta get out of here... Gotta erase the fear
Gotta get out of here... No more silent tears

Waiting

(Music & Lyrics: Diamond)
SOLO: Andy

Just after midnight, they are bringing me my pills
Just after midnight, lights are out...at Black Hill
But they don't know me...they don't know me at all
Tonight pills will be chills will be kills

Waiting in the dark, I cannot take another night
Waiting in the dark, I cannot take it anymore

If I don't take my medication, they will all be here
But I think I fooled them, I think...I'm in the clear
"Nursie" doesn't know...this is her last night
She even brought the key, that's gonna set me free

Waiting in the dark, I cannot take another night
Waiting in the dark, I cannot take it anymore

Tonight I'm taking her instead
My hands are so much stronger
Than her isty-bitsy little head

SOLO: Herb

Empty eyes are staring at the wall
I cannot hear her breathing anymore

SOLO: Herb

I'm looking for the key in her hand
That bluish little hand

Running through the empty halls of this forgotten
place
Unlocking doors...that never opens
But now I've got the key...the key to freedom
And I'm unlocking doors that never should be opened

Waiting in the dark, I cannot take another night
Waiting in the dark, I cannot take it anymore

6,6,6 miles...I've been running through the woods
6,6,6 miles...and now before me, the cemetery gates

I climb the gate between life and death
I walk upon the moolit graves
I'm home

Heads On The Wall

(Music: La Rocque / Lyrics: Diamond)
Theme SOLO: Andy

I'm in a cold and lonely tomb
Surrounded by darkness in my newfound home
I'm not alone, anymore, alone, anymore
I'm looking back at yesterday
I do remember my escape, and what I had to do
Have to do, don't you see, don't you see

Heads on the wall...I'm looking at
Heads on the wall...dead yet alive
Heads on the wall
I'm looking at heads on the wall...heads

Theme SOLO: Andy

Did you know, if you die in a graveyard
The soul can't escape if you lose your head
But it lives on in the brain...in your brain
Don't you see, don't you see

Heads on the wall...I'm looking at
Heads on the wall...dead yet alive
Heads on the wall
I'm looking at heads on the wall

Last night, when I climbed the cemetery gate
I saw a man digging in the ground
Working the late shift, it was the gravedigger
Jeremiah had worked here for years
Already had one foot in the grave
With my help we got in the other
I can't believe...he wasn't stronger

SOLO: Herb

Mary the hooker was coming to church
To let the reverend fill up her purse
Jesse Bell, may his soul rest in HELL
No one must find out, no one must tell

SOLO: Andy

Heads on the wall...I'm looking at
Heads on the wall...dead yet alive
Heads on the wall
And they're staring at me, and me, and me

No one comes and leaves again
I've got to make sure no one knows where I am
Especially THAT man...I remember
I can't get rid of those voices

Whispers

(Music: La Rocque / Lyrics: Diamond)
You've got to get his daughter, daughter, daughter
You've got to get his daughter, daughter, daughter
You've got to get his daughter, daughter, daughter
You've got to get his daughter, daughter, daughter
Lucy...

I'm Not A Stranger

(Music & Lyrics: Diamond)
I've been watching Lucy all week
I've been watching her at school
I know her schedule, I know it well
I know exactly when she's leaving

Oh Lucy take my hand,
how can I make you understand
I'm not a stranger, I am a friend
I'm gonna take you home to Daddy...later

Such beautiful eyes you have, such beautiful hair
You must be at least seven years of age,
am I right now ?
As if I really care

Cause you're his daughter, his little daughter
The one I'm supposed to have hurt
But I could never, I could never
I could never hurt a little girl like you

Oh Lucy take my hand,
how can I make you understand
I'm not a stranger, I am a friend
I'm gonna take you home to Daddy...later

SOLO: Herb

Such beautiful eyes you have, such beautiful hair
You must be at least seven years of age
But who cares, 'cause you're coming with me NOW!

SOLO: Andy

Come on little girl...Why are you making such a fuss
Come on little girl...come on it is time

I've got real dolls on my wall, I made them myself
And you can play with them and play with them
And play with them
Until your Daddy comes to get you

Oh Lucy take my hand,
how can I make you understand
I'm not a stranger, I am a friend
I'm gonna take you home to Daddy...later

I I I I and you will soon be home now
I I I I and you are gonna play then
I I I I and you you you you
We we we we, we're gonna have some fun

Sweet graveyard here we come
Sweet graveyard here we come
Sweet graveyard here we come
Sweet graveyard

Digging Grave

(Music & Lyrics: Diamond)
Lucy, you stay here...the tomb is warm
Why don't you play with the dools...
The dolls on the wall

I am not the guy I used to be,
not since he put me away
I left half my brain behind, back in that crazy place
Does that mean...that I am insane
Does that really mean...that I am to blame...NO NO NO

Is it true what they say...little girls don't cry
Is it true what they say...Lucy look at me

I am not the guy I used to be,
not since he put me away
I left half my brain behind, back in that crazy place
Does that mean...that I am insane
Does that really mean...that I am to blame...NO NO NO

Into the night I go, and you can't follow me
Into the night I go, and you can't follow me

I will be your misery, I'm gonna be your HELL
I will be your misery, and I wish you well, in HELL

I'm digging graves, seven deadly tombs
I'm digging graves, below that crazy moon

I will be your misery, I'm gonna be your HELL
I will be your misery, and I wish you well, in HELL

McKenzie, how could you think I'd forget

SOLO: Andy - SOLO: Herb

All graves done...I'm so clever
Seven headstones in all...saying "Lucy Forever"

I am not the guy I used to be,
not since he put me away
I left half my brain behind, back in that crazy place
Does that mean...that I am insane
Does that really mean...that I am to blame...NO NO NO

Into the night I go, and you can't follow me
Into the night I go, and you can't follow me

I will be your misery, I'm gonna be your HELL
I will be your misery, and I wish you well, in HELL

I'm digging graves, seven deadly tombs
I'm digging graves, below that crazy moon

SOLO: Herb

Into the night I go, and you can't follow me...

Meeting At Midnight

(Music: La Rocque / Lyrics: Diamond)
Yesterday as I finished the last of the seven graves
I went to call McKenzie
I woke him up in the middle of the night
You should have heard me...SURPRISE!

Oh revenge is sweet

Up and awake, McKenzie knew that I was still alive
And I have to tell you
He is the Mayor of this God forsaken town
He's Lucy's father, the man that brought me down

He is such a sick little man
He's so much sicker than me, and I am

Meet me at midnight by the cemetery gates
Meet me at midnight or your Lucy will be dead

Revenge is sweet
Revenge is sweet, I know that you agree

SOLO: Andy

Call me sick in the head, but I would never lie to you
I worked for the man
Mayor McKenzie is an old perverted swine
I caught him one night, molesting his own little child

Who do you think they all believed ?

SOLO: Andy

He is such a sick little man
He's so much sicker than me, and I am

Meet me at midnight by the cemetery gates
Meet me at midnight or your Lucy will be dead

McKenzie did you hear me?...No Lucy, she is fine
She's sleeping in her coffin
Can't wait to meet your face again

SOLO: Herb

He is such a sick little man
He's so much sicker than me, and I am

Meet me at midnight by the cemetery gates
Meet me at midnight or your Lucy will be dead

Sleep Tight Little Baby

(Music & Lyrics: Diamond)
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

Daddy

(Music & Lyrics: Diamond)
Oh Daddy...I'm so alone, Oh Daddy...come home
Oh Daddy...I've missed you so
Oh Daddy...tell me what to do

Daddy don't look at me like that
I didn't do it...HE did...It was HIM
I could never...I could never
I wasn't even there

SOLO: Andy

Daddy tell me what to do...Daddy...No don't no

Oh Daddy, you're fading away
Oh Daddy, Daddy please stay
Oh...you're fading away
Oh Daddy, Daddy please stay

You're going down, you're going down, McKenzie

SOLO: Herb

Sit down you creep, you degenerate son of a sheep

SOLO: Andy

What am I to do you...with you ?

SOLO

You're going down, you're going down, McKenzie

SOLO

Sit down you creep, you degenerate son of a sheep

SOLO

What am I to do you...with you ?

SOLO

Sit down you creep, you degenerate sheep

SOLO

You're going down, you're going down, McKenzie

Trick Or Treat

(Music & Lyrics: Diamond)
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

Up From The Grave

(Music & Lyrics: Diamond)
As I look him deep in the eyes...I see only darkness
I must have knocked him out...good
I kind of like that...I must go

Up Up Up from the grave
Up Up Up from the grave
Up Up Up from the grave
Up Up Up from the grave

Here we go again my friend,
deep into my twisted brain
I think I'm losing it again

La-La-La......I'm digging for Lucy dear
La-La-La......I've had it up to here

Lucy Lucy I am here, Lucy Lucy don't you fear
I will get you out of there, so you can breathe again
You can't sleep forever...dear
Come to DADDY

Up Up Up from the grave
Up Up Up from the grave
Up Up Up from the grave
Up Up Up from the grave

Here we go again my friend,
deep into my twisted brain
I think I'm losing it again

La-La-La......Tell me what you see
La-La-La......Tell me how it makes you feel

I Am

(Music & Lyrics: Diamond)
Back...in the tomb, Lucy is sitting on the floor
I...am, I am standind by the door

The door to freedom...the door that I shut so close
And as I take another look at my mind
I seem to think the sun has arrived...No

McKenzie you better realize, now it's just you and I

Back...against the wall
McKenzie's on the stone cold floor
Hands...tied together, nowhere to go for Mr. Mayor

The door to freedom...the door that I shut so close
And as I take another look at my mind
I seem to think the sun has arrived

SOLO: Andy

This court is now in session

You stand accused of child abuse
Of stealing innocence and freedom too

I am the only Judge, I am the only Jury
I am your lawyer too, so tell me what to do

What's it gonna be ?
Are you guilty or are you GUILTY!!!
Yes, you just go ahead and cry

SOLO: Herb

Back...against the wall
McKenzie's on the stone cold floor
Hands...tied together, nowhere to go for Mr. Mayor

The door to freedom...the door that I shut so close
And as I take another look at my mind
I seem to think the sun has arrived

But Oh No...There is no sun here
There's only darkness... ... ...

I, the Jury and the Judge
Find you guilty of stealing the innocence of a child
And therefore we sentence you to die slowly, die
Die die die die die die die.....

Lucy Forever

(Music: La Rocque / Lyrics: Diamond)
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 its 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...come back to me
Lucy...you cannot leave me like this

SOLO: Herb

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

Last Rites

I'm surrounded by darkness, I'm dying in my bed
I don't know if I'm going to survive
I open my eyes, but it's so hard to see
My Last Rites
I don't believe in heaven, I don't believe in hell
So save your god for someone else or save him for yourself
In a flick of a second I think I saw a priest
Listening to my breathing getting weaker all the time
He's mumbling words I don't understand
My Last Rites
I don't believe in heaven, I don't believe in hell
So save your god for someone else or save him for yourself
Feeling colder, feeling low
My blood still running, but running slow
Oh no... I don't need no priest of yours... oh Christ
I won't listen to another word from you
Here I am dying and you act the fool
I wish you'd come a little closer
So I can reach your cross and end your prayer here
I don't believe in heaven, I don' t believe in hell
So save your god for someone else or save him for yourself

Church Of Saint Anne

Oh Father... did you speak to God?
Oh Father... did he speak to you?
In the Church of Saint Anne
Oh Father... your eyes could heal the sick
Yeah, heal the sick
Oh Father... no one could ever forget
Oh Father... the night your eyes went black
In the Church of Saint Anne
Oh Father... God left you for dead
It was a black year for the Church of Saint Anne
It was a black year when the miracles began
In the Church of Saint Anne
The sick got sicker and the well got ill
Your congregation said you lost "God's will"
You ran to the altar, said another prayer
You ran to the altar, but God was never there
So they threw you out, and stoned you down
Stoned you down to the ground
It was a black year for the Church of Saint Anne
It was a black year when the miracles began
In the Church of Saint Anne
Oh Father... betrayed by your own
Oh Father... did Satan take your soul?
They found him in the tower hanging from the bell
A twisted smile on his face as if he came straight from Hell
"If thine eyes deceive thee, pluck them out"

Sold My Soul

I sold my soul to you, I sold my soul to the Devil his due
I...I sold my soul
I sold my soul, and I sold yours too
"To the Devil we're due"
Ohhh... I sold my soul
That night was the darkest of all
That night I sold my soul to you... to the Devil his due
I sold my soul
No point in turning around, there's no way out of here, no!
No point in turning around, just live with the fear
That night was the darkest of all
That night I sold my soul to you
To the Devil his due
So many angels were falling from the sky
So many angels would have to die...
A black candle in my hand, a pact between God and man
Oh your Majesty, this time I have to know
I sold my soul to you, I sold my soul to the Devil his due
I...I sold my soul
I sold my soul, and I sold yours too
"To the Devil we're due"
That night was the darkest of all
That night I sold my soul to you... to the Devil his due
No point in turning around, there's no way out of here, no!
No point in turning around, just live with the fear
That night was the darkest of all
That night I sold my soul to you
To the Devil his due
So many angels were falling from the sky
So many angels would have to die...

House On The Hill

Let's go to the House on the Hill
Let's go to where time stands still
If you dare then come with me
To the House on the Hill and you will see
Nothing is what it seems In the House on the Hill
Let's go to the House on the Hill
Let's go to where time stands still
While you were asleep
Another friend of mine has come from the Keep
The well in the cellar my dear - That's how I keep them near
In the House on the Hill
In the House on the Hill
In the House on the Hill
In the House on the Hill
Let's go to the House on the Hill
Let's go to where time stands still
In my little shrine
I keep the stillborn to be born another time
The souls that God didn't hear - oh I keep them near
In the House on the Hill
In the House on the Hill
In the House on the Hill
In the House on the Hill
It is so very strange, to live among the stillborn
It is so very strange, to keep their souls away from harm
I was one of the mentally ill, who stayed in a cell of his own
I was one of the mentally ill, who used to call this home
Oh you're not alone

Burn In Hell

All your sins are forgiven
In the name of Jesus in heaven... Ahhh
There you stood with your soul in your hand
Thinking... that God would understand
Satan take him to where you dwell
Satan take him to burn in hell
Always were a believer
You never thought of God as the Deceiver... Ahhh
There you stood with your soul in your hand
Thinking... that God would understand
Satan take him to where you dwell
Satan take him to burn in hell
Burn In Hell... Drown in my wishing well
Burn In Hell... Drown in my wishing well
Where is your Jesus now, Jesus in Heaven
Where is your saviour of all - He's executing your soul
Burn In Hell... Drown in my wishing well
Jesus and Satan hand in hand
Leading you down the stairway to the damned
No more pearly gates for you
Eternal flames, wondering who is who... Ahhh
Burn In Hell... Drown in my wishing well
Burn In Hell... Drown in my wishing well
Where is your Jesus now, Jesus in Heaven
Where is your saviour of all - He's executing your soul
Burn In Hell... Burn In Hell

The Grave

There is a cemetary just East of here
That's where they say the Devil, the Devil is always near
Come to the Grave
The Grave that comes alive, The Grave that feeds the night
Bring your Book of Spells
Ancient rites, magic signs, bring your sacrifice
It's time to draw the circle around The Grave
Now don't you break the circle, tonight is not a game
Come to The Grave
Rise evil demon, up into the night
Is that you... Baphomet, the inverted star
We visit here at midnight, we stay until the daylight
Is that you... Baphomet, the inverted star
We visit here at midnight, we stay until the daylight
There is a cemetary just East of here
That's where they say the Devil, the Devil is always near
Come to the Grave
The Grave that comes alive, The Grave that feeds the night
Bring your Book of Spells
Ancient rites, magic signs, bring your sacrifice

Insane

I see little demons, are they in my head?
I see little demons, fightin in my bed
Why did I go insane? Oh doctor kill the pain
Screams in the night, I hear another one died
Was it number 9, or was it me who cried
Why did I go insane? Oh doctor kill the pain
When I look in the mirror, my mind goes blank
My brain is burning up, Insanity...
When I look in the mirror, my mind is, Dead
Is it me on the other side?
I saw the look on your face, the night they took me away
Not a tear, not a trace, just stood there waving goodbye
Dead roses in my room, a love that died too soon
When I look in the mirror, my mind goes blank
My brain is burning up, Insanity...
When I look in the mirror, my mind is, Dead
Sanity turned Insane, I hange myself in a picture frame
I'm so tired, let me sleep
I'm counting demons...
Oh doctor kill the pain, oh doctor kill the pain

Kiss The Demon

Kiss the little Demon, hanging on my wall
Kiss the little Demon, he will answer your call
You better watch out... God forsaken heaven
I am alone in the dark when I call the Demon's name
I Am... Am I the one who's insane?
Kiss the Demon, he'll make your wish come true
Kiss the Demon
Stick out your tongue and let Him taste a little of your blood
Kiss the little Demon, hanging on my wall
Kiss the little Demon, he will answer your call
Kiss the Demon, he'll make your wish come true
Kiss the Demon
Stick out your tongue and let Him taste a little of your blood
I send you my Demon to blacken his brain
I send you my Demon to rip out his veins
Rise from Hell and serve me well
Rise... D emon rise
You better watch out... God forsaken heaven
I am alone in the dark when I call the Demon's name
I Am... Am I the one who's insane?
Kiss the Demon, he'll make your wish come true
Kiss the Demon
Stick out your tongue and let him taste a little of your life
A little of your blood
A little of your soul

Buried Alive

The poison is still in your veins
The poison I slipped in your drink
Never saw me, I am but a ghost
Never saw your dangerous host
Wake up... You're still alive... Wake up and die
All you can see in the darkness above
Is the white in my eyes...
I'm standing on the edge of your grave
Looking down
Into the eyes of a dead...
Buried alive... Buried alive
Wake up... You're still alive... Wake up and die
How does it feel with my foot on your chest?
How does it feel?
Tell me and I might forget
How does it feel to be so out of breath?
How does it feel?
Tell me and I might forget...
Buried alive... Buried alive
He started struggling, Oh the fool
Moonlight shining in his drool
I slammed the shovel straight between his eyes
"Stay down", I screamed "You're here to die"
Never saw me, I am but a ghost
Never saw your dangerous host
Wake up... You're still alive... Wake up and die
All you can see in the darkness above
Is the white in my eyes...
I'm standing on the edge of your grave
Looking down
Into the eyes of a dead...
Buried alive... Buried alive
No matter what it is you believe
You're lucky if you die in your sleep
"Murder", he screamed "Oh why?" but that's a lie
You killed me first, so now die
I'm dead, but you die, I'm gonna bury you alive
"Murder" he screamed "Oh why?"

In Hell
Are we all in Hell? Are we in Heaven?
Heaven... heavenly Hell
We are 9
Good and Evil, Dark and Light
We are 9,9 we are
I am 9... You are 9... We are 9
God is Satan deep below, Satan is God high above
In the end it's all the same
Who are we to play their game
We are 9
9 we are all 9 we are 9 we are all 9
In Hell
Are we in Hell?
Time has disappeared into an unknown evil
In Heaven? Heaven... heavenly Hell
I am 9... You are 9... We are 9
I am 9... You are 9... We are

Ahh...Egypt...Ahh
Solo: Shermann
O Thou of countless names
Who are one and all things
O Thou of countless names
Without beginning, without end
Ahh...Egypt...Ahh
Osiris...Anubis...The underworld
is yours
Osiris...Anubis...I put my soul
in your hands
O Thou, God of the Dead
Lead my soul to the judgement hall
O Thou, Jackal Head
Weigh my soul, I await your call
Ahh...Egypt...Ahh
Ammit, Eater of the Dead
Is devouring my heart
Will I pass on to Aaru
Or will I be condemned?
Solo: Denner
I'm burning inside to know
I'm burning inside to know
I'm burning inside to know
I must be back on time
But still I want to know
I hope they let me go
I'm from another time
And I must reunite
My body and my soul

I'm burning inside to know
I'm burning inside to know

THE BELLWITCH
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
Solo: Denner

THE OLD OAK
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

SHADOWS
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

A GRUESOME TIME
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

THIRTEEN INVITATIONS
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

LEGEND OF THE HEADLESS RIDER
"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???

IS THAT YOU, MELISSA ?
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

RETURN OF THE VAMPIRE...1993
VERY SPECIAL GUEST: Lars Ulrich on drums
A suicide, the birth of a Vampire
Deep in his lair, gasping for air
Spreaded wings
Fly out at sunset
So high above, back before dawn

Return of the Vampire
Leaving his lair
He's out for blood and it's yours he will share
There's only one way you can stop him
You gotta trace the Vampire to his lair, oh yeah
And then you gotta drive a stake
Right through the heart of the living dead, the dead
Oh I can feel something is wrong
Vampire, My shadow is gone
Vampire, I know what you've done
Vampire, My shadow is gone
Vampire, I know what you've done

And deliver us from false deity

THE UNINVITED GUEST
SOLO: Shermann
There's a little old man...standing by my window
There's a little old man...hiding in the shadows
The univited guest, could never have been a friend
The univited guest, he would never come back again
There's a little old man...I'd say he looks like Misery
There's a little old man...I could really use his company
The univited guest, could never have been a friend
The univited guest, he would never come back again
SOLO: Denner
Come inside...and stay for a little while
Come in from the cold and warm your heart
"You would not know of me...we never met before
The name is Damian and I used to live in this house"
SOLO: Denner
The univited guest, could never have been a friend
The univited guest, he would never come back again
There's a little old man...I'd say he looks like Misery
There's a little old man...I could really use his company
The univited guest, could never have been a friend
The univited guest, he would never come back again
SOLO: Denner
So I said farewell...until we meet again
You can come again my friend, any day you want
I later learned that he was never here
I later learned that he'd been dead a year
The univited

GHOST OF CHANGE
Walking...on a cold and white December night
I hear...the voices from the other side
Calling my name, must be that olden friend
I think she has come to see me once again
Do you...still remember the old oak tree
I...do, the feeling's coming back to me
Calling my name, must be that olden friend
I think she has come to see me once again
SOLO: Shermann
You are the ghost of change, and now we meet again
You are the ghost of change, but I will always be the same
Ghost of change...do you remember my name
Ghost of change...do you remember my name
I took her hand, and then we walked into the night
I took her hand, and then we watched the moon go by
Memories...of long forgotten times
I took a chance to relive my life and then I saw her
She smiled
You are the ghost of change, and now we meet again
You are the ghost of change, but I will always be the same
The same
Walking...on a cold and white December night
I...hear, the voices from the other side
Calling my name, must be that olden friend
I think she has come to see me once again
Ghost of change...do you remember my name
Ghost of change...do you remember my name
SOLO: Denner
You are the ghost of change, and now we meet again
You are the ghost of change, but I will always be the same

LISTEN TO THE BELL
Up in the hills where the sun goes down
There's an old black church and a broken town
The sun goes down
The trees are dead and the river is dry
And they blame it all on the old belfry
The devils cry
Why? Why? Why? Listen to the bell
Why? Why? Why?
Listen to the bell and it just might tell you why
SOLO: Denner
It's a dark and lonely road to the old belfry
And if you're alone, you'll never survive...No..No..No
Deep...in the shadows
Everywhere I hear the devils cry
Why? Why? Do the devils cry?
Why? Why? Why? Do the devils cry?
SOLO: Shermann
I have seen the gateway that leads beyond
So far away from the burning sun
I've seen the Maker, I've seen the Taker
I've seen whatever you call THEM there
The blazing ruby eyes in the old belfry
Listen to the bell if you wanna know why
You gotta listen to the bell
And then you just might hear the sound of HELL
Why?...Why?...Why?...You gotta tell me why
Why?...Why? Why do the devils cry?
Why?...Why? Why do the devils cry?

FIFTEEN MEN (And a Bottle of Rhum)
1640. The Caribbean Sea, the wind was just a breeze
Heading for a Western shore, the barque was sailing East
Close hauled into the eye
The "Unicorn" was riding high on the tide
And the rum went down their throats...with a twist of wine
Just...after midnight, nobody saw the Antigua shore
Just...after midnight, nobody heard the thunder roar
Ohh...they were heading straight for the reefs
Just...after midnight, they were caught by the storm
SOLO: Shermann - Denner
1640. The Caribbean Sea, the wind was not just a breeze
The captain and the crew were fighting for their lives
But they didn't stand a chance with their drunken minds
Going down...to their watery graves
Going down...going down...
Fifteen men and a bottle of rum
It's the captain and the crew of the "Unicorn"
Listen hard on a stormy night
And you just might hear them singing that rhyme
Oh yeah...A ghost that never dies
Fifteen men and a bottle of rum
It's the captain stuck in the "Unicorn"
Oh yeah...A ghost that never dies
It's a warning, storm is coming, yeah, you better look out

INTO THE UNKNOWN
Darkness we are here tonight to select who's gonna die
Has everyone arrived?
Darkness open wide and let the lights go dim
While I dig into your soul my friend...
Looking for sin...sin...sin. Looking for sin..sin
Oh yeah, You're going into the unknown
Oh yeah, You're going into the unknown
Darkness we are here tonight to select who's gonna die
Has everyone arrived?
Darkness open wide and let the show begin
While we look into the Southern wind
Oh yeah, You're going into the unknown
Oh yeah, You're going into the unknown
SOLO: Shermann
Someone here will not survive the night that's creeping by
This is your time, not mine, for another life...
Don't you see...don't you see
You took a chance, now you must pay, say your last goodbye
This is your time, not mine, for another life...
Now die, die, die...
It is so much colder in here, hold on to your soul my dear
It is so much colder in here, hold on to...Nothing!!!
Who should I let go? Who needs to know...
SOLO: Shermann
The journey of a lonely soul, now you're on your own...yeah
The maker's waiting down the road, the dying has begun
Now my finger points at you
It is time for you to pay what's due
Now my finger points at you
And you must know...what you never ever knew
Oh yeah, You're going into the unknown
Oh yeah, You're going into the unknown
SOLO: Denner
Now my finger points at you, and you must know...
What you never ever knew
SOLO: Denner

UNDER THE SPELL
SOLO: Shermann
There is something out there waiting for me
With an evil glow
There is something out there that will
Never let me go
Twisting, turning, I'm looking out for my soul
Twisting, turning, I'm looking out for my soul
I have seen the Southern witches, in the church of God
I have seen the Southern witches, and the Holy Ghost
Dancing, blasphemous, waiting for HIM to call
Dancing, blasphemous...uniting them all
SOLO: Denner
And I know this night so well
'cause I have walked from here to hell
The only thing I can never tell
Is why they put me under the spell
Under the spell...
Was it the deadly moon that gave me away
On Walpurgis Night
Was it the deadly moon that gave me away
Or the EVIL eye
Twisting, turning, I'm looking out for my soul
Twisting, turning, I'm looking out for my soul
And then HE came at last...
SOLOS: Shermann - Denner
Suddenly the Earth was shaking
And I...I couldn't feel a thing as I saw HIM...
Standing on the altar..
HE was drinking all the wine
While the Holy Ghost and the Southern witches...
Were turning every single cross around...and upside down
I never should have been there
I never should have seen it
I never should have understood

DEADTIME
"Lie down in your dead little baby
You know it's getting late
Listen to this deadtime story
And hold on to your head"
And it's wasy past her deadtime...the night has just died
Little blood red Riding Hood was passing through the woods
A basket full of poisoned fruit
She's absolutely way to cute
And it's way past her deadtime...the night has just died
Good Old Nick is in her blood and it makes me feel so hot
Devil eyes, that's no surprise, she's colder than ice
The werewolf is hiding with its yellow glowing eyes
Drooling for some baby blood, he's jumping in the night
And he knows where Red is riding
He knows here Grandma well
That big bad werewolf's got it down, he cannot fail
And it's way past her deadtime...the night has just died
SOLO: Denner
Grandma's waiting in here dead for sweetest little Red
When she ate the werewolf's head, you could not even tell
There is no way out
There is no way out for sweetest little Riding Hood
'cause Granny won't be full
Until Red is dead and gone...Bye, bye
SOLO: Shermann
And it's way past her deadtime...the night has just died

HOLY WATER
I don't want that holy water, it makes me burn
I don't want that holy water, I guess I'll never learn
I'd rather drink from the Devil's well
And then I'll go to hell
I'd rather drink from the Devil's well
And then I will go straight to hell, Oh yeah
High on the mountain of Poltersberg there is a quiet lake
They say it's full of demons, that Satan keeps them there
Wash away your darkest sins, if that's what you believe
But keep in mind that if you do, who is it you deceive?
Cast a stone into this lake and soon a storm will rise
And suck out all the demons, up into the sky
Wash away your darkest sins, if that's what you believe
But keep in mind that if you do, who is it you deceive?
SOLO: Shermann
Oh holy water...holy water
I don't want that holy water, it makes me burn
I don't want that holy water, I guess I'll never learn
I'd rather drink from the Devil's well
And then I'll go to hell
I'd rather drink from the Devil's well
And then I will go straight to hell, Oh yeah
SOLO: Denner
Deep in the vally of Blankenstein there is a sacred pool
They say that you can drink this water
It's cleansing of the soul
Wash away your darkest sins, if that's what you believe
But keep in mind that if you do, who is it you deceive?
I don't want that holy water, no..no..no..no..no
It makes me burn inside
I don't want that holy water, oh..no..
SOLO: Shermann

KUTULU (The Mad Arab Part two)
Someone better come and save my life
Someone better kill those evil eyes
Is it in my mind or are they still behind
Turning slowly...I see, I see, I see there's no one there
Someone better tell me what it's all about
In the dying fire, moonlight has struck my eye
Feeling colder...I see, I see, I see the amulet of EVIL
GODS...EVIL GODS
Can you hear the voices in my head...
Can you hear the voices in my head
Can you hear the voices, what they say?
KUTULU...KUTULU...KUTULU...KUTULU...
Traveling for years in the mountain side
Traveling for years to believe in the sign
And I know them well now, all of the Ancient Ones
Turning slowly...I see, I see, I see there's no one there
Someone must have broken the holy seal
'cause I know they're there, just like that fateful night
Feeling colder...I see, I see, I see the amulet of EVIL
GODS...EVIL GODS
Can you hear the voices in my head...
Can you hear the voices in my head
Can you hear the voices, what they say?
KUTULU...KUTULU...KUTULU...KUTULU...
Hear me as KUTULU raises his EVIL head
Drooling for my soul
I must finish this book tonight
Tomorrow...I might be of the dead
I'm burning up...I'm burning up
I wish for you...the GODS will be mercyful
Drooling for my soul
I must finish this book tonight
Tomorrow...I might be of the dead
I'm burning up...I'm burning up
I wish for you...the GODS will be mercyful...

EVIL
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

CURSE OF THE PHARAHOS
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

INTO THE COVEN
Howl like a wolf
And a witch will open the door
Follow me and meet our high priestess
Come, come into my coven
And become Lucifer's child
Undress until you're naked
And put on this white coat
Take this white cross and go to the middle of the ring
Come, come into my coven
And become Lucifer's child
Now crush it, crush the cross
Suck the blood from this unholy knife
Into the coven
Lucifer's child

AT THE SOUND OF THE DEMON BELL
Halloween is the night
The legend says the ghost will rise
On Halloween they can't redeem
A restless soul from an ancient scene
At the sound of the demon bell
Everything will burn to Hell
Rise... rise... rise... It's Halloween
Rise... rise... The ghost will rise
Reconciled with the powers of darkness
He'll uncover a saint
You won't believe? See for yourself
I hear a bell
A sound from Hell, the demon bell
I see a lightin' shadow in between the graves
Swinging his sword of hate towards the gates of Heaven
"Beelzebub, Astaroth...Bring me the Devil"
And as he says these words I can't believe my eyes
Upon a burnin' cross
The "Lord't Jesus, Satan's above
It must be a shame
To see the Lord fallin' again
Now rise, reconcile with the powers of darkness
Uncover a saint
You better believe or see for yourself

BLACK FUNERAL
Bring the black box to the altar
Now raise your hands and do the sign
Oh hail Satan, yes hail Satan
Lay down your swords, the evil star
It's a black funeral
She was a victim of my coven
Open the black box on the altar
Her blood is still hot, so let it out
Oh hail Satan, yes hail Satan
Now drink it, drink, drink, forget that whore
It's a black funeral
She was the victim of my coven

SATAN'S FALL
They're walking by the night
The moon has frozen blue
Long black coats a shelter for the rain
Their load must get through
Now bats are leaving their trees
They're joining the call
Seven satanic Hell preachers
Heading for the hall
Bringing the blood of a newborn child
Got to succeed, if not it's Satan's fall
Home... Come home
Evil messengers with blood stained wings
Home... Come home
Home... Come home
Is it Satan's fall?
No... It's Satan's call
Craniums high on stakes
It's Satan's epigraph
Something you can't erase... 666
They call him the beast
Use your demon eyes, uncover the disguise
Time is out.. Yeah, I don't need your god
Oh the law of Satan
Pray and obey it forever
Oh the law of Satan
Innocent lovers...it's a lie
Iron fists won't do no good against the evil eyes
Of seven holy Hell preachers, don't you even try
Now they cross the river Styx and see the castle rise
So high
Waiting on the other shore for Charon to arrive
A shape with horns and glowing eyes, Satanrs still alive
He receives the sacrifice with evil laughs and pride
You better escape, you've got to escape
You cannot escape

MELISSA
I'm kneeling in front of the altar
Satan's cross upon the wall
Strange emptiness, a crystal ball between two candles
Melissa has entered another life
Melissa, you were mine
Melissa, you were the light
She was a witch
Why did they take you away?
Melissa, you were the queen of the night
Melissa, you were my light
I swear revenge on the priest
The priest must die
He must die in the name of Hell
Melissa, can you hear me?
Melissa, are you there?
Nothing is left outside at the stake

TORTURE (1629)
Anna... was praying to a God
She had betrayed, so they said
Some folk had seen her flying on a broom
All Hallows Eve, under the moon
The inquisitor had left her behind
Gone for a bite, food on his mind
The sun was slowly trying to hide
Behind a town so full of pride
A sight Anna would never see again
Torture in the name of Christ, confess, oh you witch
Torture in the name of Christ, you witch you... confess
Solo: Shermann
Sitting naked on the wooden horse
Weights to her legs, what a holy cross
Her bloody hands tied to her back
Her golden hair burned to black
Thumbscrews they had used
To crush each tip of her fingers to a pulp
In the torture chamber, she couldn't feel much more
Of anything... anymore
Torture in the name of Christ, confess, oh you witch
Torture in the name of Christ, you witch you... confess
Satan's mark... had slipped away
They already searched her body twice today
And it was all in vain
Oh Anna here they come again
Off the horse, strapado for a friend
Up she goes, higher and higher
Anna's crying, screaming: "Liars"
Solo: Shermann-Wead
Confess, confess witch
Confess, before you die
"Yes, yes, I am a witch, may Satan take you all"
Solo: Wead
They dropped her from the ceiling
To a foot above the floor
Her ams and legs disjointed
Screams of pain... then finally no... more

THE NIGHT
Old Nick is by my side, I hear no evil
As I walk into the night, I see no evil
Old Nick is by my side, I feel no evil
Oh... I'm gonna love this night... it's gonna be just fine
The two of us at midnight, a feeling of Hell
The two of us at midnight...
Just him and I, we're gonna spy on God
Old Nick... my imaginary friend
Old Nick is not what they say, here we go again
Through the dark on a snake we ride, the Devil's child
Oh... the moon is bright, she's oh so fine
The two of us at midnight, a feeling of Hell
The two of us at midnight...
Just him and I, we're gonna spy on God
Find out who he really is
Find out who she really is, The Night
Find out if he really is
Find out if she really is, The Night
Solo: Shermann-Wead
Looking through a Demon's eye
We're gonna spy on God
Find out if he really is
Find out if she really is
Solo: Shermann
Old Nick is by my side, I feel no evil
Oh... I'm gonna love this night... it's gonna be just fine
The two of us at midnight, a feeling of Hell
The two of us at midnight...
Just him and I, we're gonna spy on God
The Night
Find out who he really is
Find out who she really is, The Night
Find out if hee really is
Find out if she really is, The Night...

SINCE FOREVER
On this cold and windy Sunday
I'm sitting here alone... It's Autumn
I'm looking at a yellow picture
You have been gone forever
Oh it's so very hard, growing old on your own, alone
I'm trying to remember... the days...
When we were young
Since forever, I still remember your ways
Since forever, I still remember
I have been reading your letter, over and over again
I can't believe you're gonna be here today
I can't believe... this is Sunday
How nice of you to come, it's been so way too long
Let me get you another glass of wine
To keep our tingues in time
Solo: Wead
Since forever, I still remember your ways
Since forever, I still remember
So many things have never been told
And now the both of us are way too old
Solo: Shermann
Since forever, I still remember your ways
Since forever, I still remember
Like the light of the sun
You used to brightened my day
But darkness ha taken your place
And I can no longer keep it away
Since forever, I still remember your ways
Since forever, I still remember
I ask you for one last time
No there won't be any wine
Just one more time
So you can put flowers on my grave
And then leave again... since forever

THE LADY WHO CRIES
Many have seen the statue that cries
But only I have seen her at night
Many say that it... is a miracle
Many say that her... tears can heal you, but
When the sun goes down, and my day begins
That's when I saw her change
her tears did turn to blood, just like a miracle
And through her mouth of stone, I saw the fire
From so deep inside, I heard a voice from Hell
"I am the lady who cries, I am he who lights the night"
"I am Lucifer"
Solo: Shermann
Many say that it... is a miracle
Many say ther her... tears can heal you, but
From so deep inside, I hear a voice from hell
"I am the lady who cries, I am he who fights the night"
Solo: Wead
"I'm your eternal friend"
"Let my children come to me at day
Let my children come to me and pray"
Solo: Wead
"They don't know who I am
Or that they worship the Devil
They don't know who I am
They think I'm a miracle..."

BANSHEE
I heard it... in my sleep last night
I heard it... in your sleep last night
Now I can hear it again, outside the night is sad
I know it's not the wind, outside the night is black
Under our window is the Banshee
Wailing its haunted tune
Under out window is the Banshee
Waitling its haunted tune too soon
I know that, I must tell you a lie
I know that, it could be you and not I
Before the sun is rising, the Banshee cannot stay
Before the night is dying, a life will slip away
Under our window is the Banshee
Wailing its haunted tune
Under out window is the Banshee
Waitling its haunted tune too soon
I must light a fire, to chase away the night
Let us hold each other tight
The cats are gone, I guess... they know
Oh... they know what's gonna come
Solo: Wead
The wailing is so much louder, I need to hold you tight
I can feel you getting colder, is it time for you or I?
Solo: Shermann-Wead
Under our window is the Banshee
Wailing its haunted tune
Under out window is the Banshee
Waitling its haunted tune too soon
Let it be me

MANDRAKE
Poisonous Mandrake, you danerous root
One of the three fates, when a man's time has come
You look so human, so different from any other plant
Youlook so human, that the Devil might take you for a man
White Mandragora, with you root so thick, you are the male
Black as the night on the outside, inside you're like a moon
You look so human, so different from any other plant
Youlook so human, that the Devil might take you for a man
Your leaves spread out... so close to the ground
Mandrake root, your berries are just like the sun
Mandrake root, as a female your root will be forked
Your juice has been known, to take away lives
Cause insanity... am I losing my mind?
Solo: Shermann-Wead
In the olden days it was believed
That in the dark of night, you had to
Tie a string from the neck of a
Black dog to the Mandrake root, then move away, move away
And with meat you must lure the dog
to pull the Mandrake root from the ground
Cover your ears... cause the cry of the Mandrake root
No man has ever survived, the dog will surely die
Solo: Wead
Poisonous Mandrake, you dangerous root
One of the three fates, when a man's time has come
You look so human, so different from any other plant
Youlook so human, that the Devil might take you for a man
Your leaves spread out... so close to the ground
Mandrake root, your berries are just like the sun
Mandrake root, as a female your root will be forked
Your juice has been known, to take away lives
Cause insanity... am I losing my mind?
Mandrake root, bring me your poisonous love
Mandrake root, I need you to bring me that love
Mandrake root... Mandrake root bring me love
Mandrake root, bring me that poisonous thing
That everyone is calling LOVE

SUCKING YOUR BLOOD
I can see it in your mystery eyes
I can feel it on your breath tonight
The yearning for time, the yearning for eternal life
Oh... oh... oh... sucking your blood, oh... oh... oh
Let me look you deep in the eyes
Let me look... into your mind
Let me take you to a room full of life
Let me, let me, let me suck your wine
Oh...oh...oh...sucking your blood
Oh...oh...oh...sucking you, sucking your blood
A Chandelier is our source of light
I'm breathing in the golder air tonight
Time... is right, it's your innocent skin I like
Oh... oh... oh... sucking your blood, oh... oh... oh
Your neck is so delicately white, inviting my mouth for the bite
My teeth... your vein, like wine from a chalice I drink
Oh...oh...oh...sucking your blood
Oh...oh...oh...sucking you, sucking your blood
Solo: Shermann
Your warm juices colour my throat
What unheavenly joy, turning yours into mine
Me... part of you, oh you are the wine
Sucking your blood before the night is torn
How could this ever, ever be a sin
If you would pull the stake from my heart
If you would let me draw another card
Maybe the Morning Star will blind our eyes
Maybe the Morning Star will bless another night
Solo: Shermann-Wead
Maybe the Morning Star will blind our eyes
Maybe the Morning Star will bless another night
Me... part of you, you are the wine

DEAD AGAIN
Why do I keep on doing this? It's not for me anymore
I'm doing this more for you than I
And on that lonely road to nowhere
I lost myself to something else
I don't know where I'm going or where I've been
It's so hard to remember all the things I am, am I?
It feels like the end is near, catching up with me
Catch me if you can, cause I'm going down into the ground
How much longer can I keep going on?
I can feel my lost ones coming down
Sooner than later, I'll see you all again
I feel my purpose here slipping away
I see the sun, but it's raining
I hope I'm on my way to better things
And if I'm not, it doesn't really matter
Cause I am doing this more for you than I am me
I can no longer pretend, that my life is worth living
I... I would rather die, be dead again
Hold on
Now here it comes, death for one, a lonely son
Up then down, I'm spinning around
My sould is so confused again
Am I floating towards the sun?
Hold on, am I dead on?
Solo: Shermann
Through a tunnel of black, why?
Why do I feel so sad?
I've been waiting for the end of act 9 to come
The curtain must fall, the end of a song
Solo: Wead
But the song goes on and on
The light is so very strong
I'm drifting along, I have no will
I'm drifting still
In a room without walls... I feel the chill
No one is here to pick me up
Nothingess... what a mess... oh
Is anybody there?
Is anybody there? I'm talking to you, do you hear me?
If I could only see through the wall of nothingness
The wall of black
They gave me number 9, this is not like the last time
Number 9
This time I am really losing my mind
I hear an orchestra... I see an orchestra
I greet an orchestra... I meet an orchestra
I'm in an orchestra... I am an orchestra
I kill this orchestra... I kill me? No
No don't stop, oh please don't stop
Hey stay here, what's going on?... hey wait for me
Solo: Shermann-Wead
I'm running but I can't keep up
Then I realize my feet are gone
This is such a weird weird song
The orchestra is now a door
One is one and two is four, I can see three more
Seven doors, seven doors
I must choose one before they're gone
But I cannot move, oh they are drifting away now
But I cannot move, oh they are drifting away now
I've got to reach that door, the number 6
I've got to reach that door, the number 6
The number 6-6, the number 6-6-6
The number 6-6-6
The number 6-6-6, that's my door
Wuauuu... look at all the colours
There goes an orchestra, no more doors
Close the window, here they come
I hear another end of this song
But again the song goes on
Dead again, I know cause I've been here before
I'm dead agin, if I could only reach that door
The number 6-6-6, the number 6-6-6
I'm beginning to miss you again
Why can't I just get you out of my mind...
I must forget
Dead again, I know cause I've been here before
I'm dead again, if I could only reach that door
Through a purple mist the light is fading
I guess I'll have to stay dead
A little longer this time
Dead again...

FEAR
In the mirror... I have seen HIM
And he scares me
The crature... behind the mask I wear
I know his name is FEAR
In the mirror... he's looking back at me
I have to face him every day
And I know him not so well, his name is FEAR
So deep within, yet so far away
I... wonder, will he always stay
Stay so deep within, deep within my soul
And I know him not so well, his name is FEAR
The man... in the mirror, he scares me
For I know him not so well
The creature... behind the mask I wear
I know his name is FEAR
In the mirror... it's not omy eyes I see
But they are always there
I cannot let it show, NO ONE must ever know
The horror that lies so deep within
Tucked away beneath my skin
And it scares me, yes it scares me
So deep within, yet so far away
I... wonder, will he always stay
Stay so deep within, deep within my soul
And I know him not so well, his name is FEAR
Solo: Wead
No man... nor any book, will ever teach me
What I need to know
No man... nor any book, will ever teach me
What I'm longing for
Only the creature... living inside of me
Could show me the meaning of life
I cannot let it show, NO ONE must ever know
The horror that lives so deep within
Tucked away beneath my skin
And it scares me, yes it scares me

CROSSROADS
You are Selene, the moon in heaven
You are Persephone, Queen of the Underworld
Hecate... darkness and terror of the night
Hecase... oh, the crossroads are thine
You are Diana, you are the hunter of souls
The dogs are howling, we dogs know when you approach
Let us ride with a beast tonight
Let us ride to the crossroads
Let us ride with a beast tonight, oh let us ride
Solo: Shermann
At the crossroads, they buried criminals and suicides
At the crossroads, any traveller could lose a life
A suitable place, for making a pact with the Devil
A suitable place, for us to hold the sabbath
Let us ride with a beast tonight
Let us ride to the crossroads
Let us ride with a beast tonight
Let us ride in the dead of night...
Even you mortals can ride with her at night
And join the night-flying demons, oh you and I
Listen to their tales of wandering ghosts
Listen to their tales of forgotten times
Listen to their tales of the crossroads
Listen to their tales of forgotten lives
Oh Diana
Solo: Wead
Hecate... darkness and terror of the night
Hecate... oh, the crossroads are thine
You are Diana, you are the hunter of souls
the dogs are howling, we dogs know when you approach
Let us ride with a beast tonight
Let us ride to the crossroads
Let us ride with a beast tonight
Let us ride in the dead of night...
To the crossroads... to the crossroads...
We ride to the crossroads, in search of your soul
We ride to the crossroads, in search of your soul...

WITCHE'S DANCE
Just like a demon's eye
The moon was dancing on the blackened sky
In my sleep nothing is real, dreaming... I'm dreaming
I can feel the shadows lurking
I can feel them closing in
I can hear their evil chanting
This is not a dream for a king
Chorus:
Dancing the Witche's Dance... Dancing the Dance
Dancing the Witche's Dance... Dancing the Dance
Cold hands, leading the way
Through the woods and into the night
Outside nothing is real, dreaming... I'm dreaming
I can see a fire burning
Hooded shapes are all around
I can see a throne of silver
Thirteen we are in all
Chorus
Before the Goat Of Mendes... We all must take our turn
Into the magic circle... Where still the fire burns
We're spinning round and round... Until one takes a fall
The fallen one will not return, the fallen one must burn
SOLO: Denner
Just like a demon's eye
The moon is dancing on the blackened sky
I'm awake but nothing is real

This is not a dream at all
Chorus
I wish this was only a dream... A dream
Within a dream

THE MAD ARAB
PART ONE: THE VISION
The son of a shepherd, Abdul Alhazred
Travelling in the mountains, the mountains to the east
One night before him, there stood that giant rock
3 symbols carved in blood
He built a fire at its root
To protect him from the wolves...
The Mad Arab... He would understand
The Mad Arab... It was in his hands...
Later that same night, awoken by wolfen's cry
The Arab cold with fear, saw the rock began to rise... Rise
The son of a shepherd, Abdul Alhazred
Shivering he saw Them coming, the mountain's evil priests
Black robes came together, around the floating rock
3 symbols in the dark
They all started chanting ancient songs
It was prayer in unknown tongue...
The Mad Arab... He would understand
The Mad Arab... It was in his hands
SOLO: Shermann - Denner
Daggers held high to the sky
The chanting had turned to screams
From the pit where the rock had been
8 snake-like monsters came
And the priests burned in red
And the priest had turned their heads
The blood running from their chests
Had the Arab scream in horror... Giving himself away
The Mad Arab... He would understand
The Mad Arab... It was in his hands
Run down that mountain side, oh but they had seen him
The priests had caught his scent
Running faster... They're chasing him
Can't go no faster... They're still behind
Aaaah NO!!! They're closing in...
...TO BE CONTINUED...

MY DEMON
This house is full of hate, this house is full of madness
This house is deep insane, this house was never mine
Chorus:
Deep in the dark you will find us
DEMON and I we are both deep inside
Yes My DEMON and I we are mine
All of the deadle kisses, all of the sick, sick, sickness
All of the broken mirrors, it's here to stay forever
Chorus
SOLO: Shermann
Chorus 2:
Come along... Come along, meet
My DEMON... DEMON... My DEMON... DEMON
The poison deep within, I can't let HIM out again
The dark stains on the floor, they won't come off anymore
So here we go again, digging the knife in
Who will be next? Who will be our next guest?
SOLO: Denner
I hate that GOD damn cellar, I wish I never went there
It always was and will be, I cannot make it go away
Chorus 2
The poison deep within, I can't let HIM out again
The dark stains on the floor, they won't come off anymore
So here we go again, be my guest!!!

THE PREACHER
You believe in Heaven
You believe the Devil is here
When you ring your demon bell
You think I'll en up in Hell
Chorus:
Oh yeah you're the Preacher
You're the Devil
You're the Preacher
Hiding in the Underworld, that's you
I can't wait to see your final show
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna miss you so

You're not the only one
Have you ever seen the light
I bet you're scared of the night
Chorus
I can't wait to see your final show

SOLO: Shermann - Denner - Shermann - Denner

If you had a soul to sell
I bet you'd end up in Hell
Chorus
I can't wait to see your final show
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna miss you so

LADY IN BLACK
On a magical misty morning
I was standing in the Autumn rain
Suddenly the birds fell silent
Would I ever hear them sing again...
Hear them sing again...
Without a word of warning
I saw a shadow in the Autumn rain
Just like in my nightly dreams
The Lady In Black had come again...
The Lady had come again...
Begging me to follow her into the misty rain
Begging me to follow her into the no more pain
SOLO: Shermann - Denner
Her eyes were hypnotizing
Burning deep inside my brain
The Lady In Black was here now
She was here to take me far away...
Take me far away...
"Follow me to the other side"
Through the tunnel of light we travel, fading away
Through the tunnel of light we travel
We're fading away
Through the light that's shinning bright
We're fading away
Through the light that's shinning bright
We're fading away

MIRROR
SOLO: Shermann
The girl in the mirror, she's not really there
Only I can see her, in all her misery
Chorus:
The girl in the mirror, she's caught in a spell
The girl in the mirror, between Heaven and Hell
Can't you feel it, those haunting eyes
She's so devine, could be magic of a kind
Chorus
SOLO: Denner
Take a look in the mirror
Deep inside there's a world of its own
Take a look in the mirror
See what you might find
Try to reach my hand
Try to reach through the glass... Try... Try...
'Cause the longest journey is the one on your own
If we break the mirror, do you think they'll let you go
Chorus

THE AFTERLIFE
SOLO: Denner
Why am I here, in a quiet mortuary
A lady and man, flowers in their hands
Nobody sees me, I don't understand
Nobody hears me...
Seems like I don't exist
Seems like no one can hear me as I... Scream
I do not feel the way I used to be
Could it really be that the one I see is me
You gotta tell why people come but never stay
Could it really be that the one I see is me
Does it really matter... Do you really care
Why am I here, in a quiet mortuary
Listen to the bell, calling my name
Nobody sees, calling my name
Nobody hears me...As I... Scream
Why do I feel like I've been left behind
Could it really be I'm in the afterlife
You gotta tell me why I feel like I've been left behind
Could it really be I'm in the afterlife
Does it really matter... Do you really care
SOLO: Shermann - Denner
Why do I feel like I've been left behind
Could it really be I'm in the afterlife
You gotta tell why people come but never stay
Could it really be I'm in the afterlife
Does it really matter... Do you really care
SOLO: Shermann

CASTILLO DEL MORTES
Somewhere in ancient Spain, close to what was BAECULA
There lay Castillo Del Mortes
To be known as "House Of The Dead"
Oh no... Oh not here
A fool was playing with magic, magic he did not understand
He opened the unholy gates
Letting out The Ancient Ones from Hell
SOLO: Shermann
600 people standing on the castle walls
Screaming for mercy, someone must have heard their calls
600 wondering what's going on
Two armies in the sky, forming and in battle line
Hear the battle cries...
7 cohorts of angels, fighting for The Elders to win
7 cohorst of angels, fighting for the people within
The "House Of The Dead" soon to be buried in sin
9 units of demons, The Ancient Ones command
9 units of demons, The Ancient Ones will stand
For the "House Of The Dead" will soon be buried in sin
SOLO: Shermann
600 were watching in horror as they began to fight
None of the armies were using a weapon
As it is known to man
Demons and Angels were falling in numbers
Out of the burning sky... The burning sky
"Retreat, retreat", Oh the angels flee, "Defeat, defeat"
The battle's over, it's done
Somewhere in ancient Spain, close to what was BAECULA
There lay the battleground where many an angel was slain
SOLO: Shermann
9 units of demons bringing unbearable sin
9 units of demons coming for the people within
The "House Of The Dead" will soon live up to its name
600 people running deep inside
600 people trying to hide
From the Ancient Ones
But there's nowhere to run on this day
SOLO: Denner
There is no need to speak of the horrible fate
Bestowed upon the 600 from BAECULA

BURNING THE CROSS
Riding out and summed up for they know their destination
Demons and witches and leaving less perceptions
Breaking religion by burning the cross
Breaking religion, burning the cross
Travelling in darkness, afraid of recognition
Evil ambitions, they�re planning the destruction
Breaking religion by burning the cross
Breaking religion, burning the cross
Oh you gotta see them riding through the darkness and stay in the night
Unholy light
You gotta see them riding through the darkness and stay in the night
Unholy light
You gotta see them riding through the darkness and stay in the night
Yeah
Riding out and summed up for they know their destination

Hear what they say, �cause they do not go home. X2
Oh you gotta see them riding through the darkness and stay in the night
Unholy light

Doomsday reflections
Above the clouds high in the sky
Doomsday infections
In their heads and in their minds
Doomsday reflections
Above the clouds high in the sky
Doomsday infections
In their heads and in their minds
You�ll be burning the cross

CURSE OF THE PHARAOHS
Way out in Egypt in the valley of kings
Where 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
Bringing evil disease
Don�t touch, never ever steal
Unless you�re in for the kill
Or you�ll be hit by curse of the pharaohs
Yes you�ll be hit and they curse is on you
I�ll be your pharaoh
The curse of the pharaohs can be so deadly
Or just destroying your future
Making 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

RETURN OF THE VAMPIRE
And so I saw it
The birth of a vampire
Fresh in his lair
Spreading the veil
He�ll spread his wings
Leaving at sunset
Fly high and low
Back before sun�s glow
Return of the vampire
Leaving his liar or (Leave now he�s come)
Sucking your blood through your veins or (I can�t go back to that place)
Return of the vampire
Leaving his liar
Sucking your blood through your veins
There�s only one way you can stop him
You gotta trace the vampire to his liar, oh yeah
And then you gotta drive the stake
Right through the heart of the living dead, oh yeah
Oh I can feel you living again
Vampire I�m losing control
Vampire just give me your cloak
Vampire I�m losing control
Vampire just give me your cloak

ON A NIGHT OF A FULL MOON
Stay away
I am evil
Or you will die by tomorrow
Copulation with a body of woman recently dead
My ceremonies with all the corpses
Finding souls so to unlock the coffins
It�s a desecration of souls in their holy lair
Magic circles drawn after midnight
Around graves to be opened
I�ll use a wand and bodies rise
I�ll ask the questions and I�ll burn the remains
It�s a desecration of souls in their holy lair
Oh this sacrifice I�ve been searching on the night of full moon
Copulation with a body of woman recently dead
My ceremonies with all the corpses
Finding souls so to unlock the coffins
It�s a desecration of souls in their holy lair
Oh this sacrifice I�ve been searching on the night of full moon

A CORPSE WITOUT SOUL
Listen, I�m a corpse, I�m a corpse
I�m a corpse without soul
Satan, he�s taken, he�s taken
He taken his toll
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
I was walking down among the graves
I heard a cry, my shadow is gone
Emptiness in my body, life in the cold
Small black wings on my naked back
Now guess what I saw on one of those stones
I saw my soul in a magical haze
It was all dressed up as corpse in a wedding dress
Small black wings on my naked back
Now hear my prayer, begging for mercy
I�m just living to die
I was walking down among the graves
I heard a cry my shadow is gone
Emptiness in my body, life in the cold
Small black wings on my naked back
Now guess what I saw on one of those 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
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
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

DEATH KISS
Dark lady coming out at night
Still glory
Let�s those legs on fire
She�s going to take away your life
And there�s a mess beyond the killing fields
A shock
Bells ringing from the city tower
It�s a woman
People running
Girl haunted
Death kiss walking down the long road
And now she�s big enough
The world is gonna die
The time it slips away
You can�t stop oh no
She may give us death kiss
She may give us a kiss
Everything is turned upside down
There�s a child there divine
Dark lady taking care again, yeah
Now she�s walking back to hell with just her hands
The time it slips away
You can�t stop oh no
It�s death kiss
Ah a little child
Ah she�s gonna die
The child has lost its way
The child is dead
Oh oh oh she�s dead

LEAVE MY SOUL ALONE
Oh, yeah oh yeah
Now hear my song
Sirens calling, people leaving the streets
The cops are coming, I don�t know what I did
Why don�t you get away, leaving my soul alone. Maybe another day, you get a reason too X2
Oh, yeah oh yeah
I�m running free, they won�t get me alive
No one can see, I did it to survive
Why don�t you get away, leaving my soul alone. Maybe another day you get a reason too X2
Oh yeah oh yeah
This is what I did
I killed a friend, for making love to my girl
This is the end, a bullet from my gun
Why don�t you get away leaving my soul alone. Maybe another day you get a reason too X2
I can�t belong
Kill

A DANGEROUS MEETING
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)

NIGHTMARE
Am I awake or is this just a Dream?
I had a Nightmare, some Sort of Vision
I was stuck in an empty Room
When the Black Book appeared
The Lights were dim, but the Face in the
Book was in Daylight
Eyes of Fire staring at me
It's the Eyes of a Woman
And I see, On her Spirit
Steppin' out of the Book
Solo: M.D.
I hear her callin' for her Coven to come
There's a Light in the Doorway
Entering Shadows whose Number is 13
They do the Sign of the Devil's Seed
I'm in the Middle of a magic Ring
Somebody tell me, what's goin' on
"Only we know the Secret of the Curse
that you bear"
Listen, they sing, the Coven sings
Night after Night I hear them sing
No, they're still here, I can hear them
again
Night after Night I have this Dream
"You are INSANE!!"
"You are INSANE!!"
"You are INSANE!!"
"You are INSANE!!"
"You're only living on borrowed Time from
your Fate"
Solo: H.S.

DOOMED BY THE LIVING DEAD

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 fuckin' angels.

A CORPSE WITHOUT SOUL
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.

NUNS HAVE NO FUN
Upon a cross a nun will be hanged,
she will be raped by an evil man
Knock spikes through her hands,
things won't come she won't understand
You're a nun you haven't had no fun,
living your life as virgin queen
I'm gonna change it and I'll get it done,
tomorrow you won't be a virgin queen
C. U. N. T. that's what you are,
you're C. U. N. T. yeah
I get it up, I get it up in the dark, I make her feel I'm not a holy
man
Faster breathing, she's like a shark, she want's more
I'm gonna give her my cross
Nuns have no fun, They just have their fathers and sons
But I'll give them hell, I never fail
Nuns have no fun, They just have their fathers and sons
But I'll give them hell, I never fail
I get it up, I get it up in the dark, I make her feel I'm not a holy
man
Faster breathing, she's like a shark, she want's more
I'm gonna give her my cross
C. U. N. T. that's what you are,
you're C. U. N. T. yeah.

DEVIL EYES
Angel, lady in white, stay away, you know my forces, Devil eyes
I'll take you to hell, You're inside my spell, In Lucifer's mirror
And I am his killer, I'm devil eyes
Angel, lady in white, you've had your time, now you are mine,
Devil eyes
I'll take you to hell, You're inside my spell, In Lucifer's mirror
And I am his killer
Oh yeah, I'm devil eyes, Oh yeah, I love my eyes, Oh yeah,

Oh yeah, I love my eyes (I'm gonna get you)
I am heading for the gates of hell, bringing a victim, she's angel

I took her to hell, In Lucifer's spell, I am his mirror
And still I'm his killer, still I'm his killer, Devil eyes, Devil eyes.

Upon The Cross

Upon the cross he did not die, they tortured him, but he survived
Smuggled across the open sea, to Southern France, tranquillity
There he married Magdalene, and founded another dynasty
A church was built upon a hill, to serve all of the gods at will.
(Excerpts from a non confirmed theory by an unknown)

The Trees Have Eyes

I'd been riding hard most of the night, wooded ravines on a mountain side
My horse was getting tired... and so was I
Up there the moon was full, down here darkness ruled
The trees were so much higher than they were meant to be

In what is known as "The Devil's Hide"
I knew I was not alone, and it was not that crazy moon above
Oh no... I could feel the trees have eyes

I used to know this road so well, many a time I was here before
But now it seemed so different, the road was no more
I was lost, I stopped and looked around
I had this eerie feeling, that I was being watched

In what is known as "The Devil's Hide"
I knew I was not alone, and it was not that crazy moon above
Oh no... I could feel the trees have eyes

Watching me
The trees have eyes, watching me

Then the sound I didn't wanna hear, howling at the moon
Eyes I didn't wanna see, I should have turned around

So much louder, the the howling was chilling my bones
One wolf grown to a dozen, and here I was alone
Yellow eyes... they were everywhere... yellow eyes... as I prepared to die

Suddenly there she was, in a halo of light
Suddenly there she was, silvery black and white
The bluest magical eyes staring right into mine
Never ever had I seen in a wolf, such a beautiful beast

In what is known as "The Devil's Hide"
I knew I was not alone, and it was not that crazy moon above
Oh no... I could feel the trees have eyes

Follow The Wolf

The morning slowly came, my life about to end
Then the wind would change, all but one had left
The angelic wolf had stayed, without a word she said

Follow me, follow the wolf
And so I followed the wolf, up the wooded mountain side
Close to the top... she suddenly stopped
Sun to the East, man and beast
Just two silhouettes... in a landscape never to forget

Like dark decaying teeth, I saw the village beneath
A few and distant roads all leading away from here
Nobody in the streets... decay
I must follow the wolf again, I must follow her till the end
The end

The wolf had turned around, facing higher ground
And there it was... The House of God
In awe I looked as time had stopped
Follow me

I had never seen a church like this before
"This Place Is Terrible" inscribed above the door

Like dark decaying teeth, I saw the church within
A few and distant thoughts, inviting me in to sin
Nobody in the church... decay

Shrouded in a gloomy light, as if my final night
I wonder if God was ever here
Or did he turn away in fear, did he turn away in fear?

House Of God

Once inside, everything would change before my eyes
No more decay
Glorious beauty had taken its place
But in horror... I watched as the wolf... began its skin to shed
I grabbed a silver crucifix, the wolf was no more a beast
Instead a lady only dreams can create
Creeping deep into the heart I never had

"I'll love you forever... never leave"

It was love at first sight, in true love there is no wrong or right
I didn't care from where she came, just her name... Angel
Then a kiss, soft and warm, my love, am I really not alone?

Nights of heavenly sin, in the House of God, I found... true love
Nights of heavenly sin, in the House of God, I found... true love

"I'll love you forever... never leave"

Plenty of food and wine, and so we laughed and we dined
We made love in the holiest of places
All the passion, it made us crazy

"I'll love you forever... never leave"

To the floor it fell, the crucifix, the wolf was no more beast
Instead a lady only dreams can create
Creeping deep into the heart I never had

I didn't care from where she came, just her name... Angel
Then a kiss, soft and warm, my love, am I really not alone?

Nights of heavenly sin, in the House of God, I found... true love
Nights of heavenly sin, in the House of God, I found... true love
Angel... Angel... Angel... Angel where are you now?

Black Devil

There he was that little man, sitting by the altar... Black Devil
Carved in stone so dark and cold... Black Devil
Help me, help me, cause I don't know what's going on

It was the early morning of the seventh day
I had been making love to Angel in every single way
The sun was peeking through a window high above
That's when I saw her kiss the little devil on his head

Black Devil... if you could only speak... Black Devil
What do you see when you're looking at me?

There he was that little man, fingers spread like claws... Black Devil
I wonder what is he knows... Black Devil
Help me, help me, cause I don't know what's going on

Black Devil... if you could only speak... Black Devil
What do you see when you're looking at me?

When I look around, this church on holy ground
There are things within, that should have never been

Why two pulpits in a place like this?
One facing to the East, the other to the West
One of the guilded canopies have gargoyles in the sun
And on the other canopy I see demons having sun

Black Devil... if you could only speak... Black Devil
What do you see when you're looking at me?

Black Devil always near, why don't you want me here?
I can feel your hate in my soul, I wonder what it is you know
Black Devil... what's going on?

The Past

Outside the leaves are slowly falling from the trees
Black clouds are moving in, a storm is coming on
Inside the confessional, Angel and I are playing games
I'm acting the priest, and she is the sinner of all my dreams...
Dreams, dreams, turn into a nightmare
A sudden change on her face, her smile is gone without trace

"Nothing... nothing is forever", she said:
"So many things are wrong in here, so many times I've lived in fear
A year ego... I signed a sacred pact, and if you love me so will you"

Then she told me of the Pact, her tears were not an act
And they were not alone, all my dreams... shattered to the bone

I fell to my knees in prayer... but ohhh this is Hell

The Pact is so powerful, it leaves you no way out
Unless within a year, someone else will sign it in blood
Someone to take your place, to guard this evil church
Another wolf to roam the hills, another wolf... in for the kill

"Nothing... nothing is forever", she said:
"So many things are wrong in here, so many times I've lived in fear
A year ego... I signed a sacred Pact"

If I sign it now, Angel will be free to go
She must leave without her memory, no more a wolf, but as a lady
And if I don't, then in seven days she will die before my very eyes
Either way... I'll never see her again

If I sign then I must stay, and only leave as a wolf for prey

"Nothing... nothing is forever", she said:
"So many things are wrong in here, so many times I've lived in fear
One year ego... I signed a sacred Pact"

And now I'm signing it for you

Goodbye

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
!

Just A Shadow

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 of the 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

Help!!!

Help... help... can anybody help me now?
Help... help... my mind is lying on the ground

I don't know, I just don't know if I'm still alive
I see the sun, the sun is up again, another day of just the same

I'm slowly going mad, emptiness is all I have

I see the sun, the sun is up again, another day of just the same

Help... help... can anybody help me now?
Help... help... my mind is lying on the ground

In the mirrors on the walls, with the crosses standing tall
I see misery take another hold on me
I'm hanging on to a memory... I'm hanging on to myself
The wine is turning sour, I'm longing for my final hour
Never to be free, cursed for eternity
I'm hanging on to a memory... I'm hanging on to me

Be it God or Satan, whoever you are
You're hiding in the shadows
You cursed me with the Devil's mark

I'm hanging on to a memory... I'm hanging on to myself
The wine is turning sour, I'm longing for my final hour
Never to be free, cursed for eternity
I'm hanging on to a memory... I'm hanging on to me

Help... help... I'm slowly going mad
Help... help... emptiness is all I have
I smash the mirrors... the mirrors on the wall
I have to smash them all before they crush my soul
Help... blood... I'm bleeding now, Help... I'm bleeding bad
I'm bleeding on the floor
Help... help...
I can't take this anymore

Passage To Hell

What was that sound?
I slowly turn around, something moved
A void of darkness in the floor, where the altar stood
I move a little closer, cause I cannot see from where I stand
Blood steel running down my arm, from all the cuts in my hands

I must enter the unholy cell
I must enter a passage to Hell

Someone is ringing the bell
But there is only me, there is no one else
I think I hear a voice from deep within the hole
I wonder who could be in there, the strong smell of old

I must enter the unholy cell
I must enter a passage to Hell

I can barely see the stairs below
Stairs on which I know my feet must go

Catacomb

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 the 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 live... 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 is 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 live... Catacomb, am I here to die?
I know I'm here to die

The Place Is Terrible

I'm back in the church... night has taken over
I'm breathing hard... in the dark
Through the hole in the floor, I hear the winds from the catacomb
Here it comes, out of the hole, a magnificent light
Blinding the entire church

Contorted faces and bodies too, powerful entity floating high above
I was no more sacred of dying, but I was terrified of knowing the truth
I don't want to, but I have to... I have to know who you are
"You have entered, where no human must go
You have seen the lie... the lie about the cross"

"I am many... We are One, THE HIGHEST
You'll never know why We kept Him here
The one who did not die on the cross
Could it be We kept Him away from God... so that he may never walk
Never walk the Earth again?"

"Or could it be that We've kept Him... safe from YOU
So you may never try to do again what... you did back then?
I guess it all depends on who you are
I guess it all depends on who you really are"

"God and Satan are but puppets on OUR strings
Creating conflicts in your little human minds, keeping US alive
It doesn't matter who or what you think We are
It only matters that you know We are
God, The Devil, good and evil, We're all that and so much more"

"Live this life the best you can, and leave the rest to US"
But I can't... I won't be one that feeds an unknown God

Show to mankind that You really exist
And then explain to us the meaning of chaos
Dive us reason to persist, to go on living through this Hell on Earth
All I want is peace of mind from all you non existing Gods
I bet that not even You will ever understand the truth
Cause YOU are nothing but a puppet on even higher strings

Your unholy eyes, I wanna sew them shut
Oh you meaningless little God, and so I choose death over you
Up up the grey cold stairs, up into the tower of Hell
With a rope in my hand, I'm searching for the unknown land
FATHER OF THE UNIVERSE, here I come... THIS PLACE IS TERRIBLE

Saturday

Sarah Lafayette is sleeping, her husband is awake
This summers's night is too hot
Feels like his majesty was here

Can you hear the voodoo drums
They're howling at the moon

Voodoo..voodoo..voodoo

"LOA" House

(La Rocque/Diamond)
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

Whaite 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...

Life after Death

(Diamond/Diamond)
Friday night

Four shadows heading for the dark
Four shadows heading for the past
Four shadows heading for the graves in the wooded maze
Four shadows looking for the place without a trace

Midnight and they're here, midnight

The old burial ground..is part of the estate
Hidden by the heavy trees..where Jean le Noir he sleeps

The shadows move
There're here to feed the dead..the shadows move

Cause there is life after death
Be patient and you will see
Cause there is life after death
Be patient and you will see
Oh it must never end..never end..no

* solo Herb

Midnight and there're here, midnight

Doctor le Croix, he's a voodoo sorcerer
Madame Sarita, she's got the snake in her
And Lula Chevalier, she's girl that no one ever sees
Salem the servant, he belongs to the estate

The sadows move
Ther're here to feed the dead...the shadows move

* solo Andy

The Lafayettes are unaware..their butler Salem, he is here
Voodoo has been his life..Voodoo cuts deep like a knife

The sadows move
Ther're here to feed the dead...the shadows move

Cause there is life after death
Be patient and you will see
Cause there is life after death
Be patient and you will see
Oh it must never end..never end

Midnight and there're here, midnight

Midnight.....Life after death.....

Voodoo

(Diamond/Diamond)
Saturday evening

A narrow path runs along the river
From the burial ground you might see it
Leading to a temple of secrets
Where they meet once a week...to dance and feast

Lula is dancing to the voodoo drums
Twisting, turning, round and round

She is ready to receive the LOA
She is ready for the God
This one is Damballah

Voodoo, voodoo, voodoo
Voodoo, voodoo, voodoo
Total emptiness inside
As Damballah gets ready for her ride

Casting out from Lula's head
One of two souls that seems to be dead
Traveling deep in a trance
Lula's legs are getting weak
"The LOA has seized its horse" ...sssssss

* solo Dime

Lula is not the one that's speaking now
Lula is not the one that's lying now

Drink, drink girl, drink the chicken's blood
Drink, drink girl, drink and feed the God

If this is all you think they do, oh you better think again
Cause there is so much more to voodoo, oh than meets the eye

Voodoo, voodoo, voodoo
Voodoo, voodoo, voodoo

Human hair on waxen dools, pins through their knees
Pins through their little heads, and through their bellics
Ahh they're coming to get you, they're coming for you
Ahh they're coming to get you, they're coming for you now

* solo Andy

Voodoo, voodoo, voodoo
Voodoo, voodoo, voodoo... Voodoo.....

A Secret

(La Rocque/Diamond)
Sunday noon

In the "LOA" mansion the Lafayettes are meeting
There's a crisis they must resolve
Twice since they moved into this house
The Voodoo drums have spoken at night

The mansion is dark and gloomy place
A haunted landscape, a house without grace
The Voodoo burial ground is the key
Get rid of that and they're free

It must remain a secret, or the plan will never work
It must remain a secret

In comes Salem, he's 6 feet tall and dark
He is the new found butler of the "LOA" house
They ask him for advice regarding their plan
To destroy the cemetery on their land

It must remain a secret, or the plan will never work
It must remain a secret
We must do what must be done

* solo Andy

If you steal the grave from one who sleeps
He will come for you to set him free

You must not break the chain

Salem: "Jean le Noir's spirit walks this house at night
Never will he leave, cause this is where he died
Great Wanga will hit you if you do
Destroy the cemetery of Voodoo"

If you steal the grave from one who sleeps
He will come for you to set him free

Superstitious we are not

Salem

(Diamond/Diamond)
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

One Down Two To Go

(Estes-Diamond/Diamond)
Monday morning

The sun has risen, just above the trees
The birds are singing, it's just like a dream
What a perfect morning it...could have been
Salem's in the kitchen, and that's sin
Eggs for three and a little tea
Mixed with the graveyard dirt...from yesterday

* solo Herb

Anybody cating Salem's "A la carte" today
Should be taken ill and...waste away

(Salem thinking to himself:)
"You used to be so beautiful, but now you're gonna die
You used to be so beautiful, but now you're gonna die
Die, both of you...are gonna die
Die, die, both of you...are gonna die, die...die"

* solo Andy

Salem's walking up the stairs to the second floor
Silver tray in hand...knocking at the door

In a fever, sick as Hell
David's got a snake bite...and all is well
Salem thinks to himself:

One down, two to go. "Oh Madame he's got the flu"
One down, two to go. "Oh Madame he's got the flu"

The problem is that Sarah's morning sick again
That pregnant woman, always something wrong

You used to be so beautiful, but now you're gonna die
You used to be so beautiful, but now you're gonna die
Die...Sarah die, Sarah die
Die, die...Sarah die, Sarah die

Sending of Dead

(Diamond/Diamond)
Monday evening

Evening, the sun is setting, silence is all you hear

David, getting really sick he is sweating like a pig
The fever's got him now
And Sarah's father dear, the morning snack has put him on his back
He should have stayed in bed..oh why didn't he?

...The sun is setting, silence is all you hear
Sarah: "Salem, what's going on?"

Salem: "Let me tell you a story Madame, a secret about your land
The reason... for all madness
Let me tell you a story Madame, the burial ground on your land
Ia a secret voodoo stand

If you ever destroy this sacred place
Legend says that you will die, and never find your rest
I'm telling the truth...Oh yes I am
If the living can't feed the dead, then the dead will come for you
Yeah

Sarah: "You better hold your tongue now Salem
Cause I don't believe in ghosts"
There is only one thing left to do now
And that is "Sending of Dead"

The four shadows are meeting again
At the cemetery gates, darkness is a friend
Midnight will soon be here
Everything should be ready by now...for "Sending of Dead"

* solo Andy

Place the image of Saint Expedit
Upside down and around
I hear Doctor le Croix speaking
"Let the ritual begin"

"Almight God, father of mine, come for Sarah Lafayette
That she may be "Disappeared", forever lost
Saint Expedit, you are a saint and I'm a sinner
I send you to find...Sarah Lafayette
Oh, ride me of her head and rid me of her soul
Rid me of all her thoughts, rid me of her memory
For this curse to work, Baron Samedi, Samedi, Samedi
Send your blessing, so Sarah may be gone"

* solo Herb

As if he was sent from the sky, Baron Samedi creeps inside
The Doctor's body..speaking to Salem
Samedi:"You must bring me a sacrifice
You must come back before midnight
Kneel before my cross"...Salem is here

He takes a handful of soil from each grave
Of the dead he wants to send..into Sarah
Now quick quick run back to the HOUSE
The soil must lie where sarah sleeps

Sarah's Night

(Diamond/Diamond)
Monday night - Tuesday morning, master bedroom

Salem's standing in the dark
Watching Sarah's sleeping body
Someone is in her bed
Twisting, turning in his fever
Savid will not even see her
I an invisible..I am the one to bring you down

I open up my hand, the "Goofer Dust" is falling
It's now on Sarah's hand
You can almost see the dead, as they enter Sarah's head
Then deep into her stomach, I wonder how the baby feels

Violently she's sitting up
Screams of pain I know she's hurting
I only see white in her eyes

* solo Andy

Sarah speaks in unknown tongue
Then she spits a litlle blood
Time has come, I must be gone
In comes Grandpa, what is he doing
I thought I had him not moving
But the dead in Sarah's head, will take her to an early grave
Salem is gone

Grandpa:"Go back to sleep me dear
It's just another nightmare
Those God damn voodoo drums
I will stay in here tonight, and keep an open eye
So you can sleep again...
Sarah sleep...Sarah sleep...Sarah sleep...

The Exorcist

(La Rocque/Diamond)
Tuesday morning

At the light of dawn, on a day without
Sunshine...Salem had vanished
Gone, would Sarah, would she survive
Grandpa was panicking

Father Malone. The Exorcist...Father Malone. The Exorcist

Sarah's voice had changed from female to
Male...and that was wrong, it was as if Sarah
Had gone. Grandpa remembered his friend
Father Malone was the name

* solo Andy

Grandpa: "Put me through to New Orleans
The Abbey of the Holy Saints
Father Malone please... It's urgent
You got to, you got to, you got to put me through"

It only took a minute or two, before the Father he understood
Father Malone: "Listen here my friend, do not despair
I will be there...this afternoon

But beware...of the Daytime Moon"

* solo Herb

Father Malone. The Exorcist...Father Malone, he is here

Father Malone: "Holy Cross and Bible
Holy Water for the soul
And so the house I bless, but David, he's got to
Go, call for an ambulance before the others know"
Then he went back to Sarah's room

* solo Andy

Unclean Spirits

(Estes/Diamond)
Tuesday early evening

Father Malone: "Holy Lord, Almighty Father
Everylasting God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ
Who sent your only begotten son into the world
To crush that lion
Strike terror Lord, into the Beast
Let your mighty hand cast him out of your servant
Sarah Lafayette
So he may no longer hold captive this prisoner

I cast you, you unclean spirit
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ
It is he who commands you
It is God himself who commands you
By this sign of Holy Cross
Give way to Christ
The power of Christ compells you
The power of Christ compells you
The power.....the power.....

Cross of Baron Samedi

(Diamond/Diamond)
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

* solo Herb

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

* solo Andy

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

* solo Herb

Samedi...Samedi...Samedi

If They Only Knew

(Diamond)
Thuesday night - Monday morning

I heard a policeman say to Grandpa:
"There once was a Salem, the caretaker of the "LOA" house
But he died years ago.
As a matter of fact, he's buried right here on your land."

If they only knew.

Aftermath

(Diamond/Diamond)
The "LOA" house and the old voodoo burial ground
Are still standing in all their glory.
The Lafayetes left the hospital and Louisiana
And went to...I don't care.

Malone survived. He's a scared old man now.
By the way, my name is Salem.

You cannot say, that everybody's happy.
But you can say, that everybody is now
safe from each other.

At least I sought so, until a few days ago
When I heard of some mother
By the name of Sarah Lafayette
Who's newborn baby was speaking in the strangest tongue
Backwards.

A miracle?

Some expert had uttered the word:

VOODOO

From The Other Side

(Music and lyrics by Kind Diamond)
I don't know if I'm dead or alive
All I know is I'm running out of time
Oh, I'm leaving my body... Oh, leaving it behind

From the other side, looking down I know that it's me
From the other side, looking down It's 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 it's me
From the other side, looking down It's the devil I see

Solo : La Rocque

I see the strangest faces
Faces that I've never seen before
They see through empty spaces
Spaces that do not exist no more

I swear by the moon and the devil
I'll be their guardian if they will be mine

There's a demon with red glowing eyes
He's invading the body that was mine
Oh, Is there still time ... Oh, Time to return

From the other side, looking down I know that it's me
From the other side, looking down it's the devil I see

I guess I wasn't ready yet
?cause 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 it's me
From the other side, looking down it's the devil I see
WAKE UP !!!

Killer

(Music by La Rocque / Lyrics by Diamond)
At midnight, an hour from now... they're gonna flick the switch
Down the Hall, beyond the iron door... they're gonna end my life
I will see you all in Hell, isn't that where we all must go ?
I will not, tell you want I did... It doesn't matter now
I will tell, how weird it is, to know exactly when you're gonna go

I am a killer... I'm gonna get what I deserve
I am a killer, they're gonna fry my each and every nerve

It is not, the soul I sell, it's not the pain from hell
It is not, the feel of dying, of that I was never afraid

I will see you all in Hell, isn't that where we all must go ?
Gazing at the iron door, while time is slipping away
What's really driving me insane
Is what to do with my final hour

I am a killer ... I'm gonna get what I deserve
I am a killer, They're gonna fry my each and every nerve
I've got less than an hour to kill
I'm looking back at the life I've had to live
What a waste ... what a mess...
I should have never been born ...

Solo : Simonsen

I hear them, coming down the hall, I know they're coming for me
I don't need that silly Priest, Oh just get on with the show

I am a killer ... I'm gonna get what I deserve
I am a killer, They're gonna fry my each and every nerve

The Poltergeist

(Music and lyrics by King Diamond)
Some would say there is trouble in my home
Even when I am alone
Some would say there is always someone home
Even though I might be gone

Speak to be my friend, I know you're there
Speak to be my friend... speak to me... SPEAK TO ME !

I can always feel it's there, creeping one step behind me
Cold hands in the night, I know that it's watching me

The Poltergeist living in my home
Could be a friend or a foe
The Poltergeist living in my home
Could be a friend for life or a foe until the night I die

Speak to me my friend, let me hear your tongue
�I don't like most of those you invite... Get them out�, GET THEM OUT !

Solos : Simonsen - La Rocque

Speak to me my friend, I know you're there
Speak to me my friend, speak to me... SPEAK TO ME !

My guests can never tell, when it's creeping up to touch them
They will never ever know our game
Until they feel it and scream

The Poltergeist living in my home
Could be a friend of a foe
The Poltergeist living in my home
Could be a friend for life or a foe until the night I die

Speak to me my friend, we are one and the same
Now that you're living here... Welcome home... Welcome home
You can stay forever

Dreams

(Music and lyrics by King Diamond)
Solo : La Rocque

The witching hour has arrived here too soon
I know that all my dreams are inside this room
Oh... yeah, it's all in this tune

Dreams in the night, falling like rain
Dreams in the night, they drive me insane

They cannot wait until I turn off the light
When I'm asleep they've got the key to my mind
Oh... yeah, can't leave them behind

Dreams in the night, falling like rain
Dreams in the night, they drive me insane
Dreams in the night

Solo : Simonsen

Yeah, yeah, give me another dream now

The spider's lullabye is all they can sing
As they inject their poison into my brain
Oh ... yeah, they're calling my name

Dreams in the night, falling like rain
Dreams in the night, they drive me insane

Give me another dream now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, give me another dream now

Rainbows and waterfalls
Little girls are swimming in a pond of gold
I'm growing old
I'm growing old
Sweet blue eyes of innocence
Begging me...
To follow them to the other side
Ah.. they're growing horns !!!

Solo : La Rocque

Dreams in the night, falling like rain
Dreams in the night, they drive me insane
Dreams in the night

Let me out of these dreams ... dreams ... dreams
Let me out of these dreams ... dreams ... dreams
Let me out of these dreams ... dreams ... dreams

Moonlight

(Music and lyrics by King Diamond)
In the moonlight
I see children searching for their souls
In the moonlight, can you hear them howling on the wind
Night after night, I see them passing by
They whisper in my ear, �We know you are there�
I see no eyes, I guess they must be blind
Wish that I could lead them to a better world than mine

Solo : La Rocque

In the moonlight, not a bird is singing lullabyes
In the moonlight, I hear a church bell ring its evil song

Night after night, I see them passing by
They whisper in my ear, �We know you are there�
I see no eyes, I guess they must be blind
Wish that I could lead them to a better world than mine

In the moonlight... In the moonlight...

Solos : Simonsen - La Rocque

Night after night, I see them passing by
Wish that I could lead them to a better world than mine

In the moonlight
I see children searching for their souls
In the moonlight
I hear screams of pain from a thousand years ago

Raven spread your wings, lead the spirits to their home
Raven spread your wings, lead the spirits to their home

In the moonlight... In the moonlight...

Six Feet Under

(Music by La Rocque / Lyrics by Diamond)
My family just couldn't wait, I should have seen it coming
What a nice conspiracy, what a nice surprise
But now it's all too late
I am six feet under, It's so very hard to breathe
My family they put me here, in a coffin made of glass
So I can see them in their glory or they can see me in my misery
They're standing all around my grave

Six feet under, I'm in a coffin made of glass
Six feet under, It's so very hard to breathe

Solo : La Rocque

Six feet under, I'm in a coffin made of glass
Six feet under, It's so very hard to breathe
My hands are turning blue while my nails are turning to Red

Solo : Simonsen

Looking up into faces of greed
I'm sweating cold and white with fear
Sinister smiles ... upon their lips
One of them is waving me goodbye
I am six feet under, It's so very hard to breathe
My lovely sister is laughing at me, I cannot hear but I can see
Now she is kicking soil into my face
I swear I will return to haunt her

Six feet under, I'm in a coffin made of glass
Six feet under, It's so very hard to breathe
My face is turning blue while my eyes are turning to Red

The Spider's Lullabye

(Music and lyrics by King Diamond)
In a little cottage, in the country side
Lives a man called Harry, and he is losing his mind

Listen... Hear the spider's lullabye

It's really sad for Harry, he finds a spider scary
Even the smallest species, will make him feel uneasy
Oh, they live in every corner
Oh, and here comes the summer

There's another spider on his wall ... Gotta kill it !
Soon to be another creamy spot

As he woke up this morning, there was a spider crawling
He felt the big surprise, before it caught his eyes
Oh, in between his face
Oh, and his pillow case

There's another spider on his wall ... Gotta kill it !
Soon to be another creamy spot

Here comes another one ... Ha... Ha... Ha... Ha... Ha

He's got to find a doctor, a very special doctor
Someone who can cure his mind
Someone who knows Harry's kind

Listen ... Hear the spider's lullabye

Those creepy crawly screatures
With all their hairy features
Hoping to catch a fly
Singing its deadly lullabye

Oh... oh, NO...

There's another spider on his wall... Gotta kill it !!!

Eastmann's Cure

(Music and lyrics by King Diamond)
It was in the local paper : �We will cure you every phobia
At Devil Lake Sanitarium
We will make you feel you're right at home�

No more sleepless nights, no more unpleasant sights
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 doctors
were awaiting him

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

Solos : La Rocque - Simonsen

HARRY : �... My name is Harry and I am from the country side
I'm looking for a doctor, Eastmann is the 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 all the freedom I need for you
At Devil Lake Sanitarium
You know we are the very best at what we do... Oh Yes !�

Solo : La Rocque

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 nights, no more unpleasant sights
We can recreate paradise
And you don't even have to sacrifice a thing

Room 17

(Music and lyrics by King Diamond)
Room 17 was nice and cool, oh yeah
A few stains on the wall
But that was nothing new to Harry's head
Even though he was strapped down to his bed, strapped down
Harry felt pretty good...
Knock, knock ... knock, knock, Is anybody there

Room 17 was nice and cool, oh yeah
But it didn't have the string
That would ring the nurse, it wasn't there
Poor Harry, he had it coming, Poor Harry
Now he didn't feel so good...

Solo : Simonsen

Here comes Doctor Eastmann and Nursie Needle Dear
Look at what they got you ... The CRAWLY BOX
NURSE NEEDLE : �Don't be such a baby, Harry stop that now
The doctor's here to help you ... it's Eastmann time�

In room 17, everything is so clean
In room 17, there is nothing to be seen

Dr. EASTMANN : �Black, brown, grey and hairy... we've got them all
Big, small, fast and scary... yeah we've got them all
I can hear it, the Spider's Lullabye
I can feel it, the Spiders crawl on by�

In room 17, everything is so clean
In room 17, there is nothing to be seen

Dr. EASTMANN : �Nurse Needle it is time to begin...
Nurse Needle, stick it in
A brown Lycosa's what I've got inside this box
I'm gonna let him out to see just how you feel, when he's around
If you move too much he might just bite you
But we'll just have to wait and see about that ... ?�

Solo : La Rocque

Deep into the night, they were testing him
So many different species, Harry could not win

Solo : Simonsen

They forgot a grey one, she was full of eggs
And she would find the warm spot, back in Harry's neck
It's so moist and warm in here
Knock, knock... knock, knock, Is anybody there

HARRY : �You forgot some spiders in my room, yesterday
Now I've got this stunning pain
And my neck is feeling weird, Oh I might die
Overnight some of your spiders must have bit me
They were all over me�
Dr. EASTMANN : �Oh Harry, don't be such a fool�

That same night Harry died
When they found him he was grey and white

Solo : La Rocque

Black, brown, grey and hairy... we've got them all
Big, small, fast and scary... yeah we've got them all
I can hear it, the Spider's Lullabye
I can feel it, the Spiders crawl on by

In room 17, everything it so clean
In room 17, there is nothing to be seen

Solo : Simonsen

In room 17, everything is so clean
In room 17, there is nothing to be seen

Take him to the morgue, Take him to the morgue

To The Morgue

(Music by La Rocque / Lyrics by Diamond)
To the morgue... Take him to the morgue
To the morgue... Take him to the morgue

At... Devil Lake... Sanitarium, many a patient had died in vain
Never a question to be asked, no no, never a thing to explain
So they took his bones and skin to the morgue in the West Wing
It was clear... to Doctor Eastmann
Harry had died of fright in the night
If he had cared he could have found the spider
Laying eggs in Harry's neck

The smoldering eyes... in Harry's head
Had become the home... of spiders instead

Solos : Simonsen - La Rocque

To the morgue ... Take him to the morgue
To the morgue ... Take him to the morgue
To the morgue... We must all go to the morgue
To the morgue ... We must all go to the morgue

Deep down ... below the ground
Where it was king of cold and damp
Too many stiffs to be fit in the cooler
Gathering dust in the Hallways of Death

The smoldering eyes... in Harry's head
Had become the home... of spiders instead

Spiders here ... Spiders everywhere
Spiders feeding the dead to their young
Spiders here... Spiders everywhere
Spiders using the dead for their name

Spiders ... They're growing like rats from the plague
Spiders ... There's so many more everyday

Solos : Simonsen - La Rocque

Summer is coming to an end
And the cellar in the morgue is a nest now
One thousand poisonous creatures
Eight thousand poisonous legs

The smoldering eyes... in Harry's head
Had become the home... of spiders instead

To the morgue.. We must all go to the morgue...

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

La Reymie is touching her body
Wringled fingers all over her

La Reymie:
"So this is how You make with the devil
we're gonna get You, witchy woman
we will never believe in You
so you better repent Your sins now"

Sticking need'es into her skin yeah
In the dungeon blood is everywhere
Clowing need'es, need'es and pins yeah
She's getting weaker, no more pain to feel

"We will never believe in You
so you better repent Your sins now"

"We are the servants of GOD, we believe in the devil
and we've found his mark on You, confess witch"

Burn

Music by: King Diamond
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

SOLO: Andy

Higher, burning higher, her lefs are scorched by life
Ashes to ashes, I see a smile on their wicked faces

SOLO: Pete

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

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

Two Little Girls
Find this song on Sheet music, CD
Music by: King Diamond
One little girl with dirty fingers
Playing with broken doll
As the other girl is lying
Digging deep into the ground
They seem to play an evil game
A game that doesn't have a name
Both of them are in the ashes
At the stake where witches burn

If only they could see beyond the ground they play on
The girls are laughing still, they think they're having fun
They should be far away, watching the sun go down

One little girl picked up a necklace
From the ashes of the witches
It had wings and then the other
cried out loud "Now let me have it"
The other looked without a sign
Right into the witche's eye
The kind of horror that she saw
Made her choke for evermore

I wish they could have seen beyond the ground they played on
They would be laughing still, having the best of fun
They would be far away watching the sun go down

Into The Convent

Music by: Andy la Rocque and Snowy Show
Madeleine is running away from herself
Afraid of shame, she's crying out for help
To be clean again

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:"Wellcome 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 ..."

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

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

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

Father Picard

Music by: Pete Blakk
A new chaplain has arrived
Madeleine and a few other nuns
At the convent will meet him tonight

Father Picard:
"Wellcome to my quarters, do come inside
Wellcome 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

SOLO: Andy SOLO: Pete

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"

SOLO: Pete

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

Behind These Walls

Music by: King Diamond
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

SOLO: Andy SOLO: Pete

Now the bell is ringing, communion time has come again
Is Father Picard really a friend?
..........
The sour tasting blood of Christ
What's going on? What's going on behind these walls....

SOLO: Andy

What's going on? Behind these walls....

The Meetings

Music by: Andy la Rocque
The night is black
7 figures walk the streets of Louviers
Picard is one, another two are priests
And then the nuns going to

The meetings held in secrecy
Evil company full of secrecy, again and again

The room is dark
Candies on the wall, they've been here before
The christian cross is hanging high above
The altar of GOD

SOLO: Pete

Madeleine is at the gate
Hazy feeling in her brain
As the strangers come in to

The meetings held in secrecy
Evil company full of secrecy, again and again

The strangers brought
The sweetest little child, but something's wrong
The baby cries, someone here will die
And now the nuns pray

The meetings held in secrecy
Evil company full of secrecy, again and again

Madeleine and the other nuns
They hold the infant up to the cross
As father Picard and the priests
Approach with hammers and nails
There's no more to tell

Insanity

Music by: Andy la Rocque
(Instrumental) Acoustic & Electric &

1642 Imprisonment

Music by: Andy la Rocque
Sacrifice, holy rites, secrecy and alter wine
Black candies burning lowto the meetings agains 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

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
SOLO: Pete

The Curse

Music by: King Diamond
I know what You're thinking. I can see through you brain
I know what You're doing, even though I'm far away

The power I get from the chain is mine
Only I can use it
The power I get from the chain is mine
Only I can use it

It was only yesterday, thunder rolling by, breaking up the sky
And the rain was pouring down
Pounding on my brain, driving me insane
I was drinking wine again, oh yeah blame it on the wine

The curse of "The Eye", it will take you back in time
If you look at "The Eye", it will take you back in time

SOLO: Andy

The curse of "The Eye", it will take you back in time
If you look at "The Eye", it will take you back in time

I know what You're thinking. I can see through you brain
I know what You're doing, even though I'm far away

SOLO: Pete

I know there's a bad side to the power of the chain
I know I'll be going back in time once again

SOLO: Pete

It was only the 1st of May, thunder rolling by, breaking up the sky
And the rain was pouring down
The inqusition came, I felt the pain
I had to relieve it all in just one day

The curse of "The Eye", it will take you back in time
If you look at "The Eye", it will take you back in time

SOLO: Pete

The power I get from the chain is mine
Only I can use it

At The Graves

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 raising 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 stand
"THEY" are to share My life...
"THEY" are back
(solo Andy,Pete)
Missy come, come with Me,
There are thing I must know
How 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 there grave
Soon the dawn will chase the dark away
Icy fingers all over My hand
Lead Me back where "THEY" stand
And I glad You have returned...
All of You
(solo Andy)
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 sign"
Show Your powers to Me
(solo Andy)

Sleepless Nights

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
(solo Andy,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
!

Lies

Yesterday I spent an hour
A full hour in therapy
My favorite 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 lie
I told him all My nightmares
Were dead and done
"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 Doctor like
(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 take his stethoscope
And then forced it down his throat
My Mother was at stake
So I behaved
(solo Pete)
That night I cleaned 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 to bed
I'm so tired
I can't wait no more
(solo Andy,Pete)

A Visit From The Dead

(solo Andy,Pete)
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 no 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
(solo Pete)
Now I see her figure,
It's just a little child
And there's no reflection,
She's in 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"
(solo Andy)
Must be a visit from the dead
Must be a visit from the dead
You've got to tell Missy
Come on now, spit it out girl
"I will send You a dream"

The Wedding Dream

My Mother is entering My dream now
She's wearing a wedding dress
Something's wrong whith
The way she walks the aisle
I think it's her legs
Suddenly there is someone else
Besides her
That man I recognize
The Doctor intends to marry Mother
It's got to be stopped
Now what have I done
My Mother's on the floor
And the Doctor's gone
Everything is wrong
And as I keep the axe
I wonder what's to come
I'm caught within a dream,
There's no way out
I can't escape
If only I could see the light of day
I might escape the dream
The wedding dream...Oh the dream
Now everything turns to darkness
Deep within like I'm going blind
There's a light at the end
Of this starless nightmare
Someone's calling,
guiding me back inside...The dream..No
(solo Pete,Andy)
Get away from him Mother
You better stop kissing,
'Cause he's an enemy
Take a look at his hand
He's got the key to My house,
The Doctor is devil
I'm caught within a dream,
There's no way out
I can't escape
If only I could see the light of day
I might escape the dream
The wedding dream...Oh the dream
(solo Pete,Andy)
Dream...the wedding dream...
Oh the dream
Now everything turns to darkness
Deep within like I'm going blind
There's a light at the end
Of this starless nightmare
Someone's screaming: "Help Me please"
And it's Me
At sunrise I woke up in a sweat
The nightmare was gone
The dream I was sent is fading slowly
I do not understand

"AMON" belongs to "THEM"

Today My Mother will return to My house
And all the things I've done
I've done to her feel at home again

Oh...it's all part of an act
She can stay as long as I keep the pact
There's someone ringing
At My front door bell
I see My Mother there
Standing with the man
I wanna send to Hell
Mother:
"Oh, King see who came along"
Ma You don't understand
It's all part of deal
There's no way I can let him inside
You see "AMON" belongs to "THEM"
Doctor:
"You go ahead and have a talk
With the boy My dear
You better bring this along
Something might be
Going wrong inside"
Come on Mother
Let me show You the house
Come on Mother
There's a lot to discuss
(solo Pete,Andy)
Mother:
"Oh King, please let him in"
Ma You don't understand
It's all part of deal
There's no way I can let him inside
You see "AMON" belongs to "THEM"
Now let Me tell You what I've seen

In the house lately
I've sees Your daughter here
Coming and going when the dark is near
You must never ever tell anyone

What I've told
I have heard "THEM" singing too
Hey Mother what's that for?
Oh I feel the needle piercing My skin

And I'm falling,
Yes I'm falling down...

Something Weird(instrumental)

Victimized

A little later in the day
Mother and the Doctor went away
They left Me lying on the floor
Heading for the local church,
Not a trace of guilt in there 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 the hill?"
Priest:
"Yes I do"
(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 himself
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"

(solo Andy)
Conspiracy,
I'm being victimized again...victimazed
So they left the church,
Conspiracy of the cursed
Through the dark and 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 just heaven?"

Let It Be Done

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"

Cremation

Whenever the dark is near
I will return from the grave
To haunt You...Godforsaken whore

Out From The Asylum

Look,the old bitch is back - yeah,
finally we'll got some company again
the attic room has been locked up
for too long - just like the old bitch
herself - she's on time thought - 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 an a long vacation.
That goes for You too King.
And stop playing that thing.
Answer the door.

Welcome Home

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

(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's 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?
(solo:Andy)
Grandma' what was it like
to be on that holiday site
"Oh it is 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 to My friend

The Invisible Guests

(solo:Pete solo:Andy)
Late that night I awoke from My sleep
Hearing unknown voices laughing insane
Grandma' was one,Oh it's coming
from the room next to mine
It's Grandma' room...
the invisible guests
(solo:Pete)
As I stood there alone in the dark
Peeking through the keyhole,
couldn't believe My eyes
Grandma' was inside the room
speaking to no one...
the invisible guests
Cups were rising in thin air
and then emptied on the floor
Suddenly the door was open
and Grandma' said:
"Do come My little friend"
(solo:Pete)
Missy and Mother
were sleeping downstairs
If they could see me in
Grandmother's chair
(solo:Andy)
Grandmother said
"Look Me deep in the eyes
You will forget
what you saw here tonight"
"I will let You in on the
secret of this house
The secret of Amon...
That's what we call this house
Now I want you to go back
to sleep My dear"
The invisible guests
(solo:Andy solo:Pete solo:Andy solo:Pet
Cups were rising in thin air
and then emptied on the floor
Suddenly the door was open
and Grandma' said:
Now I want you to go back
to sleep My dear"
"Go to sleep"..."Go to sleep"...
"Go to sleep"
Missy and Mother
were sleeping downstairs
If they could see me in
Grandmother's chair

Tea

On the following friday
as I turned out the light
Grandma' came and knocked up at My door
"Wake up King,wake up My dear
I am gonna show you about the house
of Amon"
It's time for tea,it's 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's time for tea,it's time again
(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
What I saw and what I heard
made me want stay and learn
I really hope this dream will never end

it's hard to describe the kind of
feeling that went on My mind
A paradise
(solo:Pete 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's time for tea,it's time again

Mother's Getting Weaker

Tonight would be the last night
that we had our tea
That bloody tea,
which sent us into ecstasy
Yesterday Mother complained,
filling 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
(solo:Andy solo:Pete solo:Andy)
I think I heard My sister
begging me to stay
She gave me phone,
so I could call someone for help
I simply let go of her hand,
the 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"

Bye,Bye Missy

Tea time Monday night,
I was waiting passing time
Then from the hallway,
I saw Mother in her nightdown
Swaying up the stairs,up the stairs,
it seemed so unreal
I knew Grandma' had sent "THEM" again,
the invisible friends
A little later at the middle of tea
we came close to ecstasy
"THEY" were telling tales
from beyond when Grandma's 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 to
young anyway",it was Grandma' who spoke
"Bye,bye Missy,be gone forever
The beautiful fireplace
in the kitchen will do"
(solo:Andy 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 of 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 devil's growls
DIE - SHE BROKE AMON - AMON - DIE
(solo:Pete 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 Broken Spell

I stumbled out of Grandma' 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 feel 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 through the cellar door
Up the stairs to the kitchen...
Then I passed out
(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
(solo:Pete)
The spell was broken,
I really left the change
As my mind and body became one again

The moon was alive with
it's silvery eye
Staring night 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

The Accusation Chair

I kind of know that she would be
waiting for me in her room
With a sick smile she told me
not to be a fool
Her eyes went hard,
staring right into My brain
But I convinced her that
I was feeling real fine
Oh,I was lying...
seeing the look in her eyes
Clearing My mind was important
She believed everything I said
And then she asked me if
I would help to bring her outside
Oh,I was lucky...
"Let us stay for a while" she said
"Bathing ourselves in the moonlight"
So there she was,unprotected by "THEM"
I grabbed her cane,
and tore it out of her hand
"No way,You're not going escape"
"Now that I've got You...
here You will pay for Your deeds
Your sick mind has come to an end now"
"Stop it"
(solo:Andy solo:Pete)
Nowhere to hide,Grandma' had died
Alone in the night
Ant "THEY" were waiting for me,
waiting inside
Hoping that I would come back in
But I just run away
Into the woods,as far as I could
I saw "THEIR" eyes
And then I fainted again,going insane

Dreaming that I was one of "THEM"...
I hear "THEIR" voices all the time

Them

Acoustic Guitar:Andy La Rogue

Twilight Symphony

Morning came and so did they,
flying questions form the police
I'm waiting here in an ambulance
for Dr.Landau
To return and tell me why
they're talking me so far away
"I did what I did and I 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
Now 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 open neck
Blood still running from My open mouth

I knew they would blame it,
they would blame it all on me
Now 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 anyway now,
the boy has lost his mind"
Oh no no
(solo:Andy)
I never seen My Mother
since they took me away
And Dr.Landau wouldn't tell me
He wouldn't tell me anything
Oh I am back on the outside
(solo:Pete)
Time was 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 know 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 Grandma's lap.
I bet You're dying for a cup of tea."

Arrival

(lead intro:Michael)
"That must be it"
(theme:Andy solo:Michael)
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 La'Fey
Saw the magic in their eyes
They were in for a surprise
The darkness would soon be complete
A horsemen come 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:Michael)
Jonathan laughed and said
"Get out of my way
I don't believe a words You say"
The 7 horsemen disappeared
into the night
And said "Some day You'll need
our help my friend"
I think poor Jonathan was scared
18 is actually 9 it stuck in his mind

(solo:Andy)

A Mansion In Darkness

(theme:Andy)
Riding up the alley in the rain
No lights to show the way
How could this even be their home
Through the darkness
you could only see
A giant shadow which was to be
A house where evil ruled at night
And the shadow at the gate it seemed
to be alive
Yeah the shadow at the gate,alive!
Everything inside was left untouched
Except for what the rats had got
And the dust of time that
showed it's mark
Armed with candlelight and open eyes
Through the dark they fought their way
Till every room was lit again
... again
And the house began to breathe
it seemed to be alive
Yeah the house began to breathe,alive!
(theme and solo:Andy)
As the candlelight began to fade
And Jonathan said: "Let's go to bed"
The fireplace had ceased to burn
... burn
Both were fast asleep before the down
Dreaming ... dreaming
And they did not know about the shadow
Yeah the shadow on the wall,sunrise!
(solo:Michael theme and solo:Andy)

The Family Ghost

(solo:Andy)
The darkness come 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"
(solo:Michael solo:Andy)
"Beware of the slippery stairs
You could easily fall and break
Your neck
Hand me that touch and will lead the way
To the secret in the dark
... secret in the dark
Take a look into the vault,the vault"
"The sarcophagus ... of a child
Abigail has been here
for year and years
Still born: Born ... Born ... Born"
"The spirit of Abigail is inside
Your wife
And there is only one way You can
Stop the rebirth of evil itself
You must take her life now"

The 7th Day Of July 1777

(Acc.guitar:Andy)
Count de La fey uncovered
his cheating wife
9 month of loving and sharing
On 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 of 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
(solo:Andy)
Obsessed with a strange idea
He wanted to mumnify
The girl for the future to find...
and he did
(solo:Michael)
So he pushed her down the stairs
To die "No" she cried
In 1777 on the 7th Day Of July

Omens

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 3
Oh,Deadly omens
Oh,Deadly omens
(solo:Michael solo:Andy)
"Miriam came here and see
what I've found,it's moving
And empty cradle swaying in the air
I did not bring it in here,
now did You?"
"No No No"
Oh,Deadly omens
Oh,Deadly omens

The Possession

On the very next morning
When the mist was eaten way by the sun
Mirriam 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 ... love

But it wasn't love,oh no"
She was possessed ... and he knew
(solo:Michael)
"I will get what is rightfully mine"
(solo:Andy)
Speaking with different tongues
Miriam was eaten alive from inside
Again she said:
"I'm having Your baby my love ... love

But it wasn't love,oh no"
She was possessed ... possessed

Abigail

"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 here me"
"I'm alive inside your wife
Miriam's dead I'm her head..."
(solo:Michael)
"Abigail,don't You think
what You've done,Abigail
I'll get a priest,he will know
How to get her soul back"
(theme:Michael)
"Oh Jonathan,this is Miriam,
our time is out
Remember the stairs it's the only way"
(solo:Micheal solo:Andy)
"Abigail,nothing I can do but
give in,Abigail
Follow me to the crypt
Abigail,You ought to be reborn
where You died,Abigail"
"Jonathan,I agree ... Yes I do"
"I'm alive inside your wife
Miriam's dead I'm her head...
Soon I'll be free!!!"

Black Horsemen

(solo:Michael)
So there they stood at the top
of the stairs
Miriam in the moon,
Jonathan was scared
Gazing in to the dark,
Jonathan saw the star
For a second he turned his back
And she was where 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 that 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 labor was so strong
that Miriam died
The 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 7 Horsemen would arrive
before the d?wn
Servants of the count when Abigail
was born the first time
(solo:Andy)
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

(solo:Michael)

(music & lyrics: King Diamond)
From "The Book of Jonah"

"7 Years Have Gone, It Can No Longer Be Left Undone
The Candle Must Be Burn Again, And Pain
Must Follow the Unholy Flame
So Burn...Burn...Burn
And Free the Spirit From Its Chain"

Here I AM Blinded Again By That Flame
In Every Candle That I Burn, Burn !
I See That Same Face Return, It Returns

Eyes In Pain, My Little Queen Are You A Dream
In Every Candle That I Burn, Burn !
I See That Same Face Return, It Returns

Time Has Come For You To Tell The Truth, What Shall I Do
Tears Are Running From Her Eyes
If She Could Only Tell Me Why, Tell Me Why

Her Face Falling Apart
The Word "Jonah" Is Her Mark, She's Branded

The Jonah

(music & lyrics: King Diamond)
"After 7 Years On A Dusty Shelf
The Book Seemed Unreal
For 7 Years In An Ancient Rhyme
The Fate Of A Girl Was Sealed"

In The Attic I Was Searching By The Moonlight
What Would I Find
Old And Grey From Dust I felt It Staring Back
Oh That Book

Yellow Pages Caught My Eyes, So Unreal
Through the Dust Of Time
In An Ancient Rhyme The Truth Had Been Sealed
On A Broken Shelf It Would All Be Revealed
It Had Been There For Years
And No One Ever Knew

Now Break The Spell And Free The Girl
From The Candle Of Fate
Look At The Flame And Say The Rhyme
The End Is Near, No More Pain, Ah You're Free
Solo: Mike - Andy
As The Candle Melts Away The Spirit Of The Candle Girl
Emerges From The Flame, She Doesn't Seem The Sme
With A Smile On Her Face She Starts To Speak
"Hear My Story:"

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"
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

Into The Land Of Dreams And Mist

Heavy Breathing But Nobody's There
If That's What You Think You'd Better Beware

They Are Lurking In The Dark, Watching You
Solo: Andy - Solo: Mike
How Does It Feel To Be Alone In The Dark
How Do You Know They Won't Do Any Harm
They Can See You But You're Oh So Blind
Maybe It Only Appears In Your Mind

They Are Lurking In The Dark, You'll See

The Lake

It is Sunday morning, well right before dawn
A little girl is dancing, on the mansion "porch"
She calls out a name, "God give him the sea"
I'm here from the darkest deep
And hear my name...

Down by the lake, there's the shadow of grief
Dancind hand in hand with the Devil

Watching from the bridge, the one near by the lake
Why sister Margaret? No need the hate
Yes, we all know, "light your seventh cross"
Oh please do it my dear
While you're lost

Down by the lake...
Dancing hand in hand...

-Solo-

And the nun has been seen
I want your cross
Now come and play
Sister Margaret

Follow "pry", the nun won't give in
She catched us along
Scared as Hell, the little girl is screaming
When sister Margaret disapears in the lake

Down by the lake, there's the shadow of happiness
Dancing hand in hand with the Devil
