KING DIAMOND:《House of God》

只看楼主收藏回复

1. Upon the Cross
Upon the Cross he did not die, they tortured him, but he survived
Smuggled across the open sea, to Southern France, tranquility
There he married Magdalene, and founded another dynasty
A church was built upon a hill, to serve all of the gods at will

    2. The Trees Have Eyes
    I'd been riding hard most of the night, wooded ravines on a mountain side
    My horse was getting tired... and so was I
    Up there the moon was full, down here darkness ruled
    The trees were so much higher than they were meant to be
    In what is known as "The Devil's Hide"
    I knew I was not alone, and it was not that crazy moon above
    Oh no... I could feel the trees have eyes
    I used to know this road so well, many a time I was here before
    But now it seemed so different, the road was no more
    I was lost, I stopped and looked around
    I had this eerie feeling, that I was being watched
    In what is known as "The Devil's Hide"
    I knew I was not alone, and it was not that crazy moon above
    Oh no... I could feel the trees have eyes
    Watching me
    The trees have eyes, watching me
    Then the sound I didn't wanna hear, howling at the moon
    Eyes I didn't wanna see, I should have turned around
    So much louder, the howling was chilling my bones
    One wolf grown to a dozen, and here I was alone
    Yellow eyes... they were everywhere... yellow eyes... as I prepared to die
    Suddenly there she was, in a halo of light
    Suddenly there she was, silvery black and white
    The bluest magical eyes staring right into mine
    Never ever had I seen in a wolf, such a beautiful beast
    In what is known as "The Devil's Hide"
    I knew I was not alone, and it was not that crazy moon above
    Oh no... I could feel the trees have eyes

      4. House of God
      Once inside, everything would change before my eyes
      No more decay
      Glorious beauty had taken its place
      But in horror... I watched as the wolf... began its skin to shed
      I grabbed a silver crucifix expecting evil to be next
      To the floor it fell, the crucifix, the wolf was no more a beast
      Instead a lady only dreams can create
      Creeping deep into the heart I never had
      "I'll love you forever... never leave"
      It was love at first sight, in true love there is no wrong or right
      I didn't care from where she came, just her name... Angel
      Then a kiss, soft and warm, my love, am I really not alone?
      Nights of heavenly sin, in the House of God, I found... true love
      Nights of heavenly sin, in the House of God, I found... true love
      "Plenty of Food and wine, so we laughed and we dined"
      "We made love in the holiest of places, all the passion it made us crazy"
      "I'll love you forever... never leave"
      To the floor it fell, the crucifix, the wolf was no more a beast
      Instead a lady only dreams can create
      Creeping deep into the heart I never had
      I didn't care from where she came, just her name... Angel
      Then a kiss, soft and warm, my love, am I really not alone?
      Nights of heavenly sin, in the House of God, I found... true love
      Nights of heavenly sin, in the House of God, I found... true love
      Angel... Angel... Angel... Angel where are you now?

        5. Black Devil
        There he was that little man, sitting by the altar... Black Devil
        Carved in stone so dark and cold... Black Devil
        Help me, Help me, cause I don't know what's going on
        It was the early morning of the seventh day
        I had been making love to Angel in every single way
        The sun was peeking through a window high above
        That's when I saw her kiss the little devil on his head
        Black Devil... if you could only speak... Black Devil
        What do you see when you're looking at me?
        There he was that little man, fingers spread like claws... Black Devil
        I wonder what it is he knows... Black Devil
        Help me, help me, cause I don't know what's going on
        Black Devil... if you could only speak... Black Devil
        What do you see when you're looking at me?
        When I look around, this church on holy ground
        There are things within, that should have never been
        Why two pulpits in a place like this?
        One facing to the East, the other to the West
        One of the gilded canopies has gargoyles in the sun
        And on the other canopy I see demons having fun
        Black Devil... if you could only speak... Black Devil
        What do you see when you're looking at me?
        Black Devil always near, why don't you want me here?
        I can feel your hate in my soul, I wonder what it is you know
        Black Devil... what's going on?

          6. The Pact
          Outside the leaves are slowly falling from the trees
          Black clouds are moving in, a storm is coming on
          Inside the confessional, Angel and I are playing games
          I'm acting the priest, and she is the sinner of all my dreams...
          Dreams, dreams, turn into a nightmare
          A sudden change on her face, her smile is gone without a trace
          "Nothing... nothing is forever", she said
          "So many things are wrong in here, so many times I've lived in fear
          A year ago... I signed a sacred pact, and if you love me so will you"
          Then she told me of the Pact, her tears were not an act
          And they were not alone, all my dreams... shattered to the bone
          I fell to my knees in prayer... but ohhh this is Hell
          The Pact is so powerful, it leaves you no way out
          Unless within a year, someone else will sign it in blood
          Someone to take your place, to guard this evil church
          Another wolf to roam the hills, another wolf... in for the kill
          "Nothing... nothing is forever", she said
          "So many things are wrong in here, so many times I've lived in fear
          A year ago... I signed a sacred Pact"
          If i sign it now, Angel will be free to go
          She must leave without her memory, no more a wolf, but as a lady
          And if I don't, then in seven days she will die before my very eyes
          Either way... I'll never see her again
          If i sign then I must stay, and only leave as a wolf for prey
          "Nothing... nothing is forever", she said
          "So many things are wrong in here, so many times I've lived in fear
          A year ago... I signed a sacred Pact"
          And now I'm signing it for you

            7. Goodbye
            So many tears in my eyes, I have to look away
            How can I say the word, that never should be said
            I lay my broken heart to rest, and so I set you free
            I wish you only the best... even if it's not with me
            Fly away...
            Beautiful angel, fly away to better things
            Beautiful angel, fly away to better things
            Fly away

              8. Just a Shadow
              Again I'm so alone, the wine is pouring down
              No one to share with, no one to care with
              The only light in my life
              Comes from the candlelight, black candles left behind
              As I'm sitting through the night
              I'm so cold and dark inside
              Angel, your memory will haunt me till the day I die
              Just a shadow, a shadow of a man
              I'm just a shadow, a shadow of a man
              The eyes of statues standing along the nave
              They seem to follow my every move, every tear I shed
              I am no longer of the living, but I am still not dead
              I'm somewhere in between, I am of the unseen
              Must we have the other side, just to feel alive?
              Oh I wonder what would be had we not created me
              Just a shadow, a shadow of a man
              I'm just a shadow, a shadow of a man
              The eyes of statues standing along the nave
              They seem to follow my every move
              They drive me insane
              Surrounded by darkness in this cold church of thine
              I try to remember, all that once was mine
              I don't know what tomorrow will bring
              But if life is so divine, how come I suffer so in mine?
              How come I suffer in mine?
              The eyes of statues standing along the nave
              They seem to follow my every move
              They drive me insane
              I am no longer of the living, but I am still not dead
              I'm somewhere in between, I am of the unseen
              I lived a lifetime of sorrow and hate, up until the other day
              That's when I left this sick old world behind
              Oh how love can make you blind

                9. Help!!!
                Help... help... can anybody help me now?
                Help... help... my mind is lying on the ground
                I don't know, I just don't know if I'm still alive
                I see the sun, the sun is up again, another day of just the same
                I'***owly going mad, emptiness is all I have
                I see the sun, the sun is up again, another day of just the same
                Help... help... can anybody help me now?
                Help... help... my mind is lying on the ground
                In the mirrors on the walls, with the crosses standing tall
                I see misery take another hold of me
                I'm hanging on to a memory... I'm hanging on to myself
                The wine is turning sour, I'm longing for my final hour
                Never to be free, cursed for eternity
                I'm hanging on to a memory... I'm hanging on to me
                Be it God or Satan, whoever you are
                You're hiding in the shadows
                You cursed me with the Devil's mark
                I'm hanging on to a memory... I'm hanging on to myself
                The wine is turning sour, I'm longing for my final hour
                Never to be free, cursed for eternity
                I'm hanging on to a memory... I'm hanging on to me
                Help... help... I'***owly going mad
                Help... help... emptiness is all I have
                I smash the mirrors... the mirrors on the wall
                I have to smash them all before they crush my soul
                Help... blood... I'm bleeding now, Help... I'm bleeding bad
                I'm bleeding on the floor
                Help... help...
                I can't take this anymore

                  10. Passage to Hell
                  What was that sound?
                  I slowly turn around, something moved
                  A void of darkness in the floor, where the altar stood
                  I move a little closer, cause I cannot see from where I stand
                  Blood still running down my arm, from all the cuts in my hands
                  I must enter the unholy cell
                  I must enter a passage to Hell
                  Someone is ringing the bell
                  But there is only me, there is no one else
                  I think I hear a voice from deep within the hole
                  I wonder who could be in there, the strong smell of old
                  I must enter the unholy cell
                  I must enter a passage to Hell
                  I can barely see the stairs below
                  Stairs on which I know my feet must go

                    11. Catacomb
                    Down into the dark I go, armed with just a candle and then my soul
                    Cryptic messages written on the floor
                    Rats are nibbling at my feet, I send one off to nevermore
                    Too much darkness, spiders on my eyes
                    Webs are hanging from my thighs, the fatter ones must die
                    I see shadows walking straight and tall
                    I don't know how they move, dancing on the walls
                    Presence of fear, a presence so near
                    I wonder what could be so powerful beyond the dark
                    Human bones... in little chambers all along the narrow halls
                    Catacomb, death over life... Catacomb, am I here to die?
                    I see a light, I push some bones aside
                    Down into the dark I go, another chamber, a chamber with a glow
                    Could this be a doorway to another world?
                    Or darkness playing tricks, with my little mind?
                    The virgin Mary is standing tall
                    A full size figure carved in wood up against the wall
                    Her face is peeling from all the years gone by
                    Is it just a statue, or is it what I'm looking for?
                    I break her face and see another one instead
                    The mummy's face appears as the bandages they fall
                    Dried out face with hate upon me gaze
                    How grotesque... the mummy wears a crown of thorns
                    From the empty sockets where its eyes should be
                    An entity of light is pouring out towards me
                    And then the sound... Jesus Christ,what have they done to you?
                    I'm running for my life, I'm running from the night
                    But it's so hard to breathe, the stench down here is much too much
                    Satan help me, help me God
                    Help me anyone, anyone who hears my cry of fear
                    Cold winds from far beyond the dark
                    Chasing through the catacomb and breathing down my neck
                    Human bones... in little chambers all along the narrow halls
                    Catacomb, death over life... Catacomb, am I here to die?
                    I know I'm here to die

                      12. This Place Is Terrible
                      I'm back in the church... night has taken over
                      I'm breathing hard... in the dark
                      Through the hole in the floor, I hear the winds from the catacomb
                      Here it comes, out of the hole, a magnificent light
                      Blinding the entire church
                      Contorted faces and bodies too, powerful entity floating high above
                      I was no more scared of dying, but I was terrified of knowing the truth
                      I don't want to, but I have to... I have to know who you are
                      "You have entered where no human must go
                      You have seen the lie... the lie about the cross"
                      I am many... We are One, THE HIGHEST
                      You'll never know why We kept Him here
                      The one who did not die on the cross
                      Could it be We kept Him away from God... so that he may never walk
                      Never walk the Earth again?"
                      "Or could it be that We've kept Him... safe from YOU
                      So you may never try to do again what... you did back then?
                      I guess it all depends on who you are
                      I guess it all depends on who you really are"
                      "God and Satan are just puppets on OUR strings
                      Creating conflicts in your little human minds, keeping US alive
                      It doesn't matter who or what you think We are
                      It only matters that you know We are
                      God, The Devil, good and evil, We're all that and so much more"
                      "Live this life the best you can, and leave the rest to US"
                      But I can't... I won't be one that feeds an unknown God
                      Show to mankind that You really exist
                      And then explain to us the meaning of chaos
                      Give us reason to persist, to go on living through this Hell on Earth
                      All I want is peace of mind from all you non existing Gods
                      I bet that not even You will ever understand the truth
                      Cause YOU are nothing but a puppet on even higher strings
                      Your unholy eyes, I wanna sew them shut
                      Oh you meaningless little God, and so I choose death over you
                      Up up the grey cold stairs, up into the tower of hell
                      With a rope in my hand, I'm searching for the unknown land
                      Father of the unverse, here I come.. this place is terrible
