- A Mansion In Darkness
Riding up the alley in the rain
No lights to show the way
How could this ever be their home?
Through the darkness you could only see
A giant shadow that dwells to be
A house where evil rules at night
- A Secret
A Secret
(Diamond/LaRocque)
Sunday noon
In the "Loa" mansion the Lafayettes are meeting
There's a crisis they must resolve
Twice since they moved into this house
- A Visit From The Dead
[Music by King Diamond]
My Mother is entering My dream now
She's wearing a wedding dress
Something's wrong with the way she walks the aisle
I think it's her legs
Suddenly there is someone else beside her
- 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 hear me?"
"I am alive inside your wife
- 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 rising from their grave
- Black Devil
Black Devil
(Diamond/Diamond)
There he was that little man, sitting by the altar... Black Devil
Carved in stone so dark and could... Black Devil
Help me, Help me, cause I don't know what's going on
It was the early morning of the seventh day
- Black Hill Sanitarium
Black Hill Sanitarium

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

I need light, I need light to find my way around this house
I'm turning on the chandelier
Nice bright light for me to see
Little footsteps coming from the hallway
- Blue Eyes
Blue Eyes
[Diamond/ Diamond]
I open my eyes...I can barely see
I got a feeling inside
No one's here but me, no one's here but me...Ohhh
I'm stone cold...I must be lying on a floor
- Bye, Bye Missy
Bye, Bye Missy
Tea time Monday night, I was waiting passing time
Then from the hallway, I saw Mother in her nightgown
Swaying up the stairs, up the stairs, it seemed so unreal
I knew Grandma' had sent "THEM" again, the invisible friends
- 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
- Christmas
"Come they told me
A newborn King to see
Our finest gifts we bring
To lay before the King...Oh when we come"
It's Christmas again.. it will never be the same
It's Christmas again, I know
There's only sadness in my soul
- Cold As Ice
Cold and wet, I'm sitting on my bed... Ah
Colder and colder
The candles burning in my room are getting weaker
Darker and darker
The shadows dancing on the wall are growing taller
- Come To The Sabbath
Come come to the sabbath, down by the
Ruined bridge
Witches and demons are coming
Just follow the magic call
Come come to the sabbath, down by the
Ruined bridge
Later on the master will join us
Called from the heart of hell
- Coming Home
Coming Home
"Grandma'?"
"I knew it was You at the door, I saw You from the window. Now come inside My dear. It's good to see You again, despite what You did to MY throat. "THEY" are waiting upstairs. Come. Missy is there too. She's sitting on Grandpa's lap. I bet You're dying for a cup of tea."
To whom it may concern.
- Darkness
Darkness

For 13 days... we have trained and trained
We're learning to walk again, we're learning to stretch our skin
Every time THEY bring us back to life
Little jars come down from the shelves
- Digging Graves
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

The witching hour has arrived here too soon

At Devil Lake Sanitarium
We will make you feel you're right at home"

The shadows are thick and Old
I'm searching the dark for my love
Behind the Theater of Puppet Shows
I find the stairs to the Cellar below
Hiding where the shadows rule
A door opens below
The Moon is high above

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

Do come inside
- From The Other Side
From The Other Side
(Music & Lyrics by King Diamond)

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
- Funeral
Funeral

"We are gathered here tonight,
to lay to rest
Abigail LaFey,
whom we now know
was first born dead
- Give Me Your Soul
"Give me your soul, give me your soul for the dead"
I think I know that little girl, I wonder where I've seen her before
In a cellar down below, I see the little girl playing with a boy
They're having fun
In comes Daddy... He's in a rage
Screaming and yelling... He's not very nice
Cold as ice, an axe in his hand
- Gypsy
This magic Winter Night I see a Light
Again I hear that Tune, some Sort of Croon
Oh No No No, Oh My Brain
I see them Gypsy Waggons left in the
Snow
Oh I must see that Lady, I have to know

Oh It's Halloween
Every Night To Me Is Halloween
Like An Ancient Scene
You Know Just What I Mean
Halloween You Are My Pride

- Heads On The Wall
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
- House of God
Once inside, everything would change before my eyes
No more decay
Glorious beauty had taken it's place
But in horror... I watched as the wolf... began it's skin to shed
I grabbed a silver crucifix expecting evil to be next
To the floor it fell, the crucifix, the wolf was no more a beast
Instead a lady only dreams can create
Creeping deep into the heart I never had
- I Am
I Am
(Music & Lyrics: Diamond)
Back... in the tomb, Lucy is sitting on the floor
I... am, I am standing 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
- Killer
Killer
(Music by La Rocque, Lyrics by King 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 what I did... It doesn't matter now
I will not tell you how weird it is

Later that Night in her Room,Abigail was drifting off to sleep.

Same old wall, still hanging tall
Same old nail... through my throat
Eighteen years came along
And this time I never
I never saw my Love
I'm going insane
THEY sold me to this little shop
- LOA House
"LOA" House
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 if you will
White as snow, the mansion still seems to have its glow
And when the moon is full and white
- Locked Up In The Snow
Winter has gone
Winter has come
Heaven’s awaiting in time
The sun, it would shine
It’s almost time
Being left out in the snow
I return to the mirror
- Lucy Forever
Lucy Forever

I leave it up to me girl, You tell me when and I'll act
By the first light of dawn, Daddy will be on his way

- Lurking In The Dark
Solo: Mike
When nightfall comes around and the light of day is gone
The dark closes in as the last candle burns out
It's time to send off your mind on a trip
Into the land of dreams and mist
Is something wrong
- Magic
Magic
[La Rocque/ Diamond]
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
- Mansion In Sorrow
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
- Meet Me At Midnight

Midnight
[Diamond/ Diamond]
Midnight...I see the snow that's falling
Midnight...Still hanging on this wall
I'm thinking back in time
To when there was still a life
- Mirror Mirror
My feelings are burning with fear
I know someone's in here, I just can't see
I silently follow the sound
Little footsteps are moving in the hall
With the candle still in my hand
I take a look at the mirror on the wall
- Mommy
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

Tonight would be the last night that
we had our tea
That bloody tea, which sent us into

Yesterday Mother complained, feeling
dizzy, all in pain

Oh... You gotta move on now
I can see... I can feel... The tears in your eyes

I can see... I can feel... The tears in his eyes
The tears that he cries
- Never Ending Hill
Time is never ever standing still, except on Never Ending Hill.
From here you can see Devil Lake

Can you hear the wind shaking all the leaves?

To draw his laying for the night

Gonna hear their master sing....
There's no presents, Not this Christmas

Nobody's inside the church but the bell is ringing
For no reason the floweres are dying

- Salem
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
- Shapes Of Black
I'm dressed in black, with my stick and hat
So this is the end, where it all will begin

There is no more light to find in here

The night is rising my eyes.
Even in the dark I know I'm alive.

Darkness you are a holy shrine.
The night, awake us tonight.

My family just couldn't wait, I should have seen it coming

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

I am sitting in the Dark, I'm with my Love

Spider's Lullabye
In a little cottage, in the country side

Even the smallest species, will make him feel uneasy
Oh, they live in every corner
- Spirits
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 wall
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"

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
- The Accusation Chair

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
- The Crypt
The Crypt

The darkness came closer to home on the following night,
And Miriam slept like a rock when Jonathan's face went white....

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.
- The Floating Head
I'm in the hallway on the floor, I cannot stand the Dark no more
Oh I'm lighting candles everywhere
I try to keep the darkness out of here
Inside my mind nightmares are turning real
Oh inside my mind I can't control how I feel
Now I'm on the second floor, I cannot stand the Dark no more
- The Girl In The Bloody Dress
The girl in the bloody dress, appearing right before my eyes

I feel her eyes in my soul

The Poltergeist
Some would say there is trouble in my home
Even when I am alone

Only four years old, my story left untold"

So this was 9
The pregnancy would not last overnight

Almost human in size

In a little cottage in the countryside
Lives a man named Harry
And he is losing his mind
Listen... Hear the Spider's Lullaby
- 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
- Up From The Grave
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
- Victimized
A little later in the day Mother and the Doctor went away
They left me lying on the floor
Heading for local church, not a trace of guilt in their eyes
The reverend Sammael, the venom of GOD himself
And so easy to convert
Conspiracy, I'm being victimized again
- Voodoo
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
- Welcome Home
Grandma, welcome home!
You have been gone for far too long
Oh, is this a dream? Are you really back?
Let me help you out of the chair, grandma
Let me touch you, let me feel
Grandma, take a look!
