King Diamond - The Portrait lyrics

============

(music & lyrics: King Diamond)

The Spirit Of The Candle:

Theme: Mike

"My Mother Was Obsessed By Evil Jealousy

She Didn't Want Nobody To Even Look At Molly

She Kept Me Locked Up In This Attic 'Till I Died

Only 4 Years Old, My Story Left Untold"

Oh Molly...Oh Molly

"Mother Was Struck By This Infallible Idea

If She Could Paint My Portrait I Would Remain Immortal

And I Could Hang Downstairs Above The Fireplace

A Little Girl In Lace, Not A Single Trace Of Crime"

Solo: Andy

"Each day And Night She Worked And Autumn Turned To Spring

For Every Stroke She Painted A Little Life Was Ended

At Last I Felt So Weak I Could Not Even Speak

But In That Fatal Portrait My Spirit Came To Lfe Again"

Oh Molly

Solo: Mike - Theme: Mike

"That Night I Made The Portrait Speak In Evil Tongue:

You're Gonna Go Beyond Too, May Pain And Death Bestow You

She Grabbed A Book And Spoke Aloud An Ancient Rhyme

While She Burned The Portrait In The Candle Of Fate"

Oh Molly

"I've Gotta Se Ma"
