Behind These Walls Lyrics By King Diamond

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

At The Graves Lyrics By King Diamond

(Music by King Diamond)
Missy I miss You so. Oh little Sister
I wish You'd come back to Me and sit by My side
We'd laugh and we'd play again, if only You'll try
You know "THEY" would show the way
From the other side
Rise from Your grave little Sister
Rise...Rise...Rise My friends...Rise
Spirits rising from their grave
Burning shadows in the dead of night
Icy fingers all over My hand
Try to make Me understand
"Finally we have returned...All of us"
Missy is that You, come closer
Spirits rising from their grave
Everywhere that ghostly stare
Icy fingers all over My hand
Lead me back to where she stands
"THEY" are back to share My life..."THEY" are back
* #
Missy come, come with Me, there are things I must know
How did you get here, where's the door to the other side
Missy: "Beyond the graves lies the gate
the gate that leads to the dead
We have to leave before the dawn
if not by the sun we will burn"
Spirits rising from their grave
soon the dawn will chase the dark away
Icy fingers all over My hand
Lead Me back to where "THEY" stand
Am I glad You have returned...All of you
#
Do You remember when Grandmother said she heard "THEM" sing
I've heard "THEM" too and I really wish I could hear "THEM" again
Missy: "In Your mind You'll hear "THEM" sing
every night at the graves
we have to leave before the dawn
if not by the sun we will burn
now sing"
Show Your powers onto Me
*

The Exorcist Lyrics By King 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

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"

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

The Possesion Lyrics By King Diamond

On the very next morning
When the mist was eaten away by the sun
Miriam 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: Mike
"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

Aftermath Lyrics By King 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
Keep your ...

Sleepless Nights Lyrics By King Diamond

(Music by Andy LaRocque)
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
* #
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

Life After Death Lyrics By King 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

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

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...
