Альбом King 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 heep

Down the halllway to the lair, down down the slippery stairs
Abigail is in the crypt, a lantern in her hand

The secret of the crypt
A coffing made for a child, wondering who is inside
Oh Abigail... and off comes the lid

The smell is sick
Mummified infront 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, oh 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.........

[ACC. GUITAR: Andy.]
Count de LaFey uncovered his cheating Wife
9 months of loving and sharing
Oh it was a bastard child
How could he have been so blind

"No bastard baby
will inherit what's mine"
Another one of her affairs
had left him in despair

So he pushed her down the stairs
to die..."No" She cried
In 1777, on the 7th Day of July

The Countess broke her neck and the
embryo came out dead
The 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 mummify
The girl for the future to find...and he did

[SOLO: Mike.]

So he pushed her down the stairs
To die..."No" She cried
In 1777, on the 7th Day of July

Night time in Budapest
So many people are waiting in line
Darkness without a glow
What a night to be watching a Christmas show

What a magical mystery feeling
Dancing at the end of their silvery strings
Almost human in size
Like children with plague in their flesh
These Puppets are oh so grotesque

Night time in Budapest
The Puppet Theater is so dark inside
Gas lamps light the stage
We're watching as the curtain begins to rise

What a magical mystery feeling
Dancing at the end of their silvery strings
Almost human in size
Like children with plague in their flesh
These Puppets are so grotesque

Sssssshhhh...here come the Puppets
There is 1..2...I see 3 Puppets waiting in the wing
Then they start to walk, in line
And suddenly they're all on the stage
I see the Puppet Master high above on the walkway
He pulls one string and up goes a leg.. Down goes a head
He pulls one more and he lets them all go!

[solo: Andy]

No strings, none of them fall, no strings at all...

I take a look at the Little Drummer Boy, up on the stage.. Oh no
I think he looked at me.. ME, is he alive?
I get a little scared...as he starts to play his drum
On the skin of his hand, I see a little cut...BLOOD

[solos: Mike - Andy]

Night time in Budapest
So many things here are not what they seem
But we love them all
What a night to remember forevermore

What a magical mystery feeling
Dancing at the end of their silvery strings
Almost human in size
Like children with plague in their flesh
These Puppets are so grotesque

The show has come to an end
The Master himself is on the STAGE
With his CHILDREN, the curtain must fall
And then the Puppets they are...Gone

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Come they told me
A newborn King to see
Our finest gifts we bring
To lay before the King...Oh when we come"

[solo: Mike]

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

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

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

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

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

The secrets never told before
Of those who lost their souls
There are sad things in the Darkness
There are sad things all around us

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

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

[solo: Andy]

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

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

[solo: Mike]

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

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

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

[solo: Andy]

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

Oh.. it was Magic I know
Talking the night away, the things we like are all the same
Wanna get to know her, wanna get to know her
I gotta get to know her deep down inside

[solo: Mike]

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

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

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

Stay Away, Molly's Soul Keeps Returning

Crying Out: "Mommy Why"

The House Is Forver Haunted
Nothing You Can Do
Molly Is Living There With Her Dolls
And They Are ALive...Wait And See
[Solo: Mike]

"Mommy...Mommy..."
I'll Destroy You

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.....

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
