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 I see the strangest faces Faces that I've never seen before They see me 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 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! 02. 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 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 fear 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... 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 It's time... 03. The Poltergeist Music & 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 me my friend, I know you're there Speak to me 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 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 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 or 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. 04. Dreams Music & lyrics by King Diamond
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 wight, they drive me insane Dreams in the night. Yeah, yeah, yeah, give me another dream now The Spider's Lullaby 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 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... [x2] 05. Moonlight Music & lyrics by King Diamond
In the moonight
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 In the moonlight Not a bird is singing lullabyes In the moonlight I hear a churchbell ring it's 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 Night after night, I see them passing by Wish that I could lead them To a better world than mine In the moonight 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 To their home In the moonlight.... In the moonlight 06. Six Feet Under Music by La Rocque Lyrics by King 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 breath 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 breath Six feet under, I'm in a coffin made of glass Six feet under, It's so very hard to breath My hands are turning blue While my nails are turning to Red 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 breath 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 breath My hands are turning blue While my nails are turning to Red 07. The Spider's Lullabye Music & lyrics by King Diamond
In a little cottage in the countryside
Lives a man named Harry And he is losing his mind Listen... Hear the Spider's Lullaby 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 another 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 a big surprise before it caught his eyes Oh, it was 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... 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 Lullaby Those creepy crawly creatures With all their hairy features Hoping to catch a fly Singing it's deadly lullaby Oh... Oh, NO... There's another spider on his wall... Gotta kill it! 08. Eastmann's Cure Music & lyrics by King Diamond
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 doctors 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 09. Room 17 Music & 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... Sow he didn't feel so good Here comes Doctor Eastmann and Nurse Needle Dear Look at what they got you... THE CRAWLY BOX NURSE: "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 hit, the Spider's Lullaby I can feel it, the Spider's 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..." Deep into the night, they were testing him So many different species, Harry could not win They forgot the grey one, she was full of eggs And she would find a 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 Black, brown, grey and hairy... We've got them all Big, small, fast and scary... Yeah, we've got them all I can hear hit, the Spider's Lullaby I can feel it, the Spider's crawl on by 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... 10. To The Morgue Music by La Rocque Lyrics by King 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 Dr. Eastmann Harry had died of fright If he had cared he would have found the spider Laying eggs in Harry's neck The smoldering eyes in Harry's head Had become the home of spiders instead 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 kind 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... Spider's everywhere Spiders feeding the dead to their young Spiders here... Spider's everywhere Spiders using the dead for their home Spiders... they're growing like rats from the plague Spiders... there's so many more everyday 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 To the morgue... We must all go to the morgue |
