Oh, leaving it behind From the other side, looking down I know that itıs me From the other side, looking down Itıs 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 itıs me From the other side, looking down Itıs the devil I see Solo : La Rocque I see the strangest faces Faces that Iıve never seen before They see through empty spaces Spaces that do not exist no more I swear by the moon and the devil Iıll be their guardian if they will be mine Thereıs a demon with red glowing eyes Heıs invading the body that was mine Oh, Is there still time ... Oh, Time to return From the other side, looking down I know that itıs me From the other side, looking down itıs the devil I see I guess I wasnıt ready yet Œcause 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 itıs me From the other side, looking down itıs the devil I see WAKE UP !!! @SONG: KILLER (Music by La Rocque / Lyrics by Diamond) At midnight, an hour from now... theyıre gonna flick the switch Down the Hall, beyond the iron door... theyıre gonna end my life I will see you all in Hell, isnıt that where we all must go ?

Iım gonna get what I deserve I am a killer, theyıre gonna fry my each and every nerve It is not, the soul I sell, itıs 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, isnıt that where we all must go ? Gazing at the iron door, while time is slipping away Whatıs really driving me insane Is what to do with my final hour I am a killer ...

SPEAK TO ME ! I can always feel itıs there, creeping one step behind me Cold hands in the night, I know that itıs 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 ³I donıt like most of those you invite...

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... @SONG: SIX FEET UNDER (Music by La Rocque / Lyrics by Diamond) My family just couldnıt wait, I should have seen it coming What a nice conspiracy, what a nice surprise But now itıs all too late I am six feet under, Itıs 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 Theyıre standing all around my grave Six feet under, Iım in a coffin made of glass Six feet under, Itıs so very hard to breathe Solo : La Rocque Six feet under, Iım in a coffin made of glass Six feet under, Itıs 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 Iım sweating cold and white with fear Sinister smiles ... upon their lips One of them is waving me goodbye I am six feet under, Itıs 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, Iım in a coffin made of glass Six feet under, Itıs so very hard to breathe My face is turning blue while my eyes are turning to Red @SONG: THE SPIDERıS 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 spiderıs lullabye Itıs 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 Thereıs 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 Thereıs another spider on his wall ... Gotta kill it ! Soon to be another creamy spot Here comes another one ... Ha... Ha... Ha... Ha... Ha Heıs got to find a doctor, a very special doctor Someone who can cure his mind Someone who knows Harryıs kind Listen ... Hear the spiderıs lullabye Those creepy crawly screatures With all their hairy features Hoping to catch a fly Singing its deadly lullabye Oh... oh, NO... Thereıs another spider on his wall... Gotta kill it !!! @SONG: EASTMANNıS CURE (Music and lyrics by King Diamond) It was in the local paper : ³We will cure you every phobia At Devil Lake Sanitarium We will make you feel youıre right at home² No more sleepless nights, no more unpleasant sights We can recreate paradise And you donıt even have to sacrifice a thing It only took about a minuteıs 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 donıt even have to sacrifice a thing Solos : La Rocque - Simonsen HARRY : ³... My name is Harry and I am from the country side Iım looking for a doctor, Eastmann is the name² Dr. EASTMANN : ³We welcome you with open arms Weıve all been looking forward to having you here At Devil Lake Sanitarium You must always sign a special paper first² HARRY : ³ 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 ?² Dr. EASTMANN : ³Right 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 !² Solo : La Rocque Now that we have got his signature I think itıs 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 donıt even have to sacrifice a thing @SONG: 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 Harryıs 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 didnıt have the string That would ring the nurse, it wasnıt there Poor Harry, he had it coming, Poor Harry Now he didnıt feel so good...

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 Harryıs neck The smoldering eyes... in Harryıs 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 Harryıs 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 ... Theyıre growing like rats from the plague Spiders ... Thereıs 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 Harryıs head Had become the home... of spiders instead To the morgue.. We must all go to the morgue...
