Halloween

(music: King Diamond & Michael Denner; lyrics: King Diamond)

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
Halloween Not Just A Dream

The Moon Is Full, Another Perfect Day Has Began
Like A Demon's Eye, That Devil's Eye
Will We Ever Die

Solo: Mike

Halloween You Are My Pride
Halloween Not Just A Dream
Solo: Andy

Every Night Will Be Another Evil Scene
Like In Horror Dreams I Want
I Command You To Scream

Halloween You Are My Pride
Halloween Not Just A Dream
Halloween... Halloween...

The Candle

(music & lyrics: King Diamond)

From "The Book of Jonah":

"7 Years Have Gone, It Can No Longer Be Left Undone
The Candle Must Be Burn Again, And Pain
Must Follow the Unholy Flame
So Burn... Burn... Burn
And Free the Spirit From Its Chain"

Here I Am Blinded Again By That Flame
In Every Candle That I Burn, Burn!
I See That Same Face Return, It Returns

Eyes In Pain, My Little Queen Are You A Dream
In Every Candle That I Burn, Burn!
I See That Same Face Return, It Returns

Solo: Mike

Time Has Come For You To Tell The Truth, What Shall I Do
Tears Are Running From Her Eyes
If She Could Only Tell Me Why, Tell Me Why

Solo: Mike

The Jonah... The Jonah

In Twisted Key She Speaks A Word To Me And Then I See
Her Face Falling Apart
The Word "Jonah" Is Her Mark, She's Branded

Solo: Andy

The Lake

(music & lyrics King Diamond)

Any Sunday morning, well just before dawn
A little girl is dancing, on the mansion lawn

She calls out a name, "Dagon” of the sea
Appear from the darkest deep
And hear my need...

Down by the lake, there's the shadow of grief
Dancing hand in hand with the Devil

Watching from the bridge, the one near by the lake
Why Sister Margaret? No need the hate

Yes, we all know, that you're serving the cross
But this time my dear
Well you're lost

Down by the lake, there's the shadow of grief
Dancing hand in hand with the Devil

Solo

And the nun has been seen
I want your cross
Now come and play
Sister Margaret

Follow pride, the nun won't give in
She goes down the lawn
Scared as Hell, the little girl is screaming
While Sister Margaret disappears in the lake

Down by the lake, there's the shadow of happiness
Dancing hand in hand with the Devil
