Mikkey Dee

1932, North of Baton Rouge
Louisiana nights are darker than before
Along the Mississippi, that is where it is
The old colonial house, a mansion of you will

White as snow, the mansion still seems to have its slow

And when the moon is full and white
You can hear the drums of voodoo echo in the night

In the "LOA" house, misery will strike again

Jean le Noir, the first to own this house
He was a voodoo priest, a Houngan so they say
The voodoo cemetery, that is where he is
Died at the hand of an evil Bocor's will

They say... he's been walking the house ever since that day

And when the moon is fool and white
You can hear the drums of voodoo echo in the night

In the "LOA" house, misery will strike again

[Solo: Andy-Herb]

They never should have come, no no no
They never should have come to the "LOA" house
They never should have come, no no no
They never should have come to the "LOA"

7 days ago... the Lafayettes moved in
Sarah is with child and Davis is the man
This is no Abigail, this child will survive
And Grandfather dear, why did they bring him here?

White as snow, that is all he sees, oh he's been blind for years

[Solo: Andy]

They never should have come, no no no
They never should have come to the "LOA" house
They never should have come, no no no
They never should have come to the "LOA"

And when the moon is fool and white
You can hear the drums of voodoo echo in the night

In the "LOA" house, misery will strike again
In the "LOA" house, misery will strike again

And again...and again...and again...and again...

Sacrifice, holy rites, secrecy and alter wine
Black candies burning low
To the meetings again they go
Picard can't wait to take away another soul
Oh it's a shame, Picard was so insane

In the year of 1642, it came to an end
In 1642, imprisonment

Sacrifice, holy rites, secrecy and alter wine
Black death come this way, Father Picard will soon be going
He's ill, so sick, now his meetings are forever over
Oh it's a shame, they went along with his game

In the year of 1642, it came to an end
In 1642, imprisonment
Guitar solo ANDY
Sacrifice, holy rites, secrecy and alter wine
The nuns can't take her blame
One after one they suffer a breakdown
Confession, confession, they confess to diabolic possession
Oh it's shame, even Madeleine has gone insane

In the year of 1642, Madeline was leaving hell in 1642, she
found freedom in her prison cell

Sixteen years old
To fight for a land fit for heroes
when I went to the war
and a gun in my hand
God on my side

Chasing my days down to zero
And I marched, and I fought
And I bled, and I died
But I knew at the time
And I never did get any older
That a year in the line
Was a long enough life for a soldier

We all volunteered
And we wrote down our names
And we added two years to our ages
Eager for life
And ahead of the game
Ready for history's pages

And we brawled, and we fought
And we hoped to be stuped
Ten thousand shoulder to shoulder
At thirst for the Hun
And that's what you are when you're soldiers
We were food for the gun

As he sank to his knees
I heard my friend cry
Coughing blood as he screemed for his mother
And I fell by his side
Clinging like kids to each other

And I wept as his body grew colder
And that's how we died
And I lay in the mud, and the guts and the blood
Though it wasn't my fault, and I wasn't to blame
And I called for my mother, but she never came
The day not half over, and ten thousand slain
And now there's nobody remembers our names
And that's how it is
For each soldier

I stumbled out of Grandma's room, down the stairs and out of the house
Once outside I felt My mind begin to fight a battle for control

With the tea pot broken I kind of realized
That "THEIR" power was less here, here on the outside

I fell to my knees in haziness
And I looked in through the window to the cellar

Things were moving down there, "THEY" were searching for something
And "THEY" really found it, the big axe was flying

Flying out through the cellar door
Up the stairs to the kitchen...
Then I passed out

Guitar solo: Andy

The next thing I remember seeing was the smoke coming from the chimney
I soon realized the smoke I saw was actually... Oh No!
All there was left of Missy and her dress, poor little girl

Guitar solo: Pete

The spell was broken, I really felt the change
As my mind and body became one again

The moon was alive with its silvery eye
Staring right into My evil heart

I went back to see if My Grandma' was still there
Waiting for me in the attic... Oh I hate that bitch

Listen, I'm a corpse, I'm a corpse
I'm a corpse without soul
Satan, he's taken, he's taken, he's taken his toll
And he took it out on me
I, I'm trapped, I'm trapped, I'm trapped in his spell
Tonight, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going to hell, inside his spell
I was walking down among the graves, I heard a cry, my shadow is gone


Emptiness in my body, I felt so alone, small black wings on my naked back
Now guess what I saw on one of the stones, I saw my soul, in a magical
Haze
It was all dressed up as a corpse in a wedding dress
Small black wings on my naked back, now hear my prayer, beggin' for mercy
I'm living to die, satan has taken his toll.

Tonight the circle is meeting again
Who will be the first to fall in trance
In here nobody is sensing the rain
Tonight a spirit will glance

So as they're approaching ghostly hour
Seven people here are joining hands
They think they know the spirit to appear
Contact, the table starts to dance

Time is standing still
It's a dangerous meeting
They're gonna get themselves killed

Solo: m.d.

Tonight the circle is broken forever


Seven people dead within a trance
In here nobody is sensing the rain
Tonight seven souls are reaching hell

Time was standing still
The meeting is over
Their journey is on

Oh, they should have known
Not to play with the powers of hell

Some people have lost their way
Some people have lost their mind

(music: hank shermann;
Lyrics: king diamond)

Riding up the alley in the rain,
No lights to show the way.
How could this ever be their home?
Through the darkness you could only see
A giant shadow that swells to be
A house where evil rules at night
And the shadows at the gate, they seemed to be alive.
Yeah, the shadows at the gate -- alive.
Everything inside was left untouched
Except for what the rats had got,
And the dust of time that showed its mark.
Armed with candlelight and open eyes
Through the dark they fought their way
'Til every room was lit again....
And the house began to breathe, it seemed to be alive.
Yeah, the house began to breathe -- alive.
As the candlelight began to fade,
And Jonathan said, "Let's go to bed."
The fireplace had ceased to burn....
Both were fast asleep before the dawn, Dreaming...Dreaming....
And they did not know about the shadow....
Yeah, the shadow on the wall, it really came alive.
Yeah, the shadow on the wall -- Sunrise!

Riding up the alley in the rain,

Sunday noon

In the "Loa' mansion the Lafayettes are meeting
There's a crisis they must resolve
Twice since they moved into this house
The Voodoo drums have spoken at night
The mansion is a dark and gloomy place
A haunted landscape, a house without grace
The Voodoo burial ground is the key
Get rid of that and they're free
It must remain a secret, or the plan will never work It must remain a secret
In comes Salem, he's 6 feet tall and dark
He is the new found butler of the "Loa' house
They ask him for advice regarding their plan
To destroy the cemetery on their land
It must remain a secret, or the plan will never work It must remain a secret
We must do what must be done
lf you steal the grave from one who sleeps
He will come for you to set him free
You must not break the chain
Salem: 'Jean Le Noir's spirit walks this house at night
Never will he leave, cause this is where he died
Great Wanga will hit you if you do
Destroy the cemetery of Voodoo"
It must remain a secret, or the plan will never work It must remain a secret
Superstitious we are not

It must be summer the sky is clear
The garden is so beautiful
All the flowers and all the trees
Make Me feel like they're inside of Me
I'm holding My sister's hand
While we're playing in the sand
It's all but a dream

My bed is moving, I cannot see a thing
I am in total darkness, someone is calling
I can feel the chill, it's all around Me
I know it's not a dream, No no no

Someone is in My room
Standing at the end of My bed
Must be a visit from the dead
Must be a visit from the dead

Guitar solo PETE

Now I see her figure, it's just a little child
And there's no reflection, she's in the mirror
Could it really be, has she returned?
My little sister

"King beware... something bad is coming Your way...
King beware"
Must be a visit from the dead
Must be a visit from the dead
Missy will You tell Me
You know we don't have no secrets
"Just beware"

Guitar solo ANDY

Must be a visit from the dead
Must be a visit from the dead
You've to to tell Me Missy
Come on now, spit out little girl

"I will send You a dream..."

Ace Of Spades
If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man,
You win some, lose some, all the same to me,
The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say,
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
The Ace Of Spades


Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil,
Going with the flow, it's all the same to me,
Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you,
Double up or quit, double stake or split,
The Ace Of Spades


You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby,
I don't wanna live for ever,
And don't forget the joker!


Pushing up the ante, I know you've got to see me,
Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again,
I see it in your eyes, take one look and die,
The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be,

I wanna grow my hair, live in Bel Air,
Lose my head, keep a live snake in my bed,
I wanna backstage pass, drink Bon Jovi's booze for free,
I wanna be a star & buy a hundred guitars,
Eat everything I can bite,
I wanna feel a little danger, feel a little stranger,
Angel City tonight,


I got a buncha boys, we make a lot of noise,
Little bit crazy, playing with chemical toys,
We're such bad ass dudes,
Almost can't stand it myself,
I wanna get the crabs in my elegant rags,
Make my mom & daddy uptight,
I wanna be an intellectual, heterosexual,
Angel City tonight,


I'm gonna live in L.A. drinkin' all day,
Lay by the pool & let the record company pay,
Talking to the devil on the bathphone all of the time,
I'm gonna kick ass, I'm gonna spit broken glass,
I'm gonna shoot out all of your lights,
I wanna eat dirt, I'm gonna eat my own shirt,
Angel City tonight,


Angel City, Angel City, the way I'm used is a shame and a pity,
Angel City, Angel City, rock 'n' roll alright,
Angel City, Angel City, the women here ain't got no pity,
Angel City, Angel City, shape up and fly right.

Through the summer rain of 1845
The coach had finally arrived
To the valley where the crossroads meet below
And where all darkness seems to grow
People blame it on the Hill
The hill where no one dares to go...
The Mansion

The coach had stopped and from the window you could see
7 horsemen in the night
Miriam Natias and Jonathan LaFey
Saw the magic in their eyes
They were in for a surprise
The darkness would soon be complete
A horseman came forth from the dark

SOLO: Andy.

"We know You've come to inherit what's Yours...The Mansion
Take our advise and go back on this night
If you refuse 18 will become 9...Oh No"
Oh 18 is 9

THEME: Andy. SOLO: Mike.
Jonathan laughed and said "Get out of My way"
"I don't believe a word You say"
The 7 horsemen disapeared into the night
and said "Someday You'll need our help my friend"

I think poor Jonathan was scared

18 is actually 9...It stuck in his mind

"That must be it!"
Through the summer rain of 1845
The coach had finally arrived.
To the valley where the crossroads meet below,
And where all darkness seems to grow.
People blame it on the Hill....
The hill where no one dares to go....
The Mansion...where no one dares to go.
The coach had stopped, and from the window you could see
Seven horsemen in the night.
Miriam Natias and Jonathan la Fey
Saw the magic in their eyes.
They were in for a surprise....
The darkness would soon be complete.
A horseman came forth from the dark....
"We know you've come to inherit what's yours...The Mansion.
Take our advice and go back on this night.
If you refuse 18 will become 9...Oh No!"
Oh 18 is 9!
Jonathan laughed and said, "Get out of my way.
I don't believe a word you say."
The seven horsemen disappeared into the night.
"Someday you'll need our help, my friend...."
I think poor Jonathan was scared....
18 is actually 9...It stuck in his mind....

Gone out of sight there's only darkness in my eyes
Hey, hey, where are the loosers now
Gone inside outlaws every day a losing streak
Every day they tell us lies
The sky, the sky is crushing you
The wall, the walls are touching you too
Even the floor is clutching you
And all the eyes that ever closed are open,
and they're watching you

Blind justice hears the voice of bribery all right,
Hey, hey, but she don't see the joke
There's only treason left when you put out the light
You can't see who it was that spoke

The sky, the sky is crushing you
The wall, the walls are touching you too
Even the floor is clutching you
And all the eyes you ever closed are open,
and they're watching you

There ain't no windows in the hallways anymore
Hey, hey, the news is awful bad
Two schizophrenics but I can't see them at all
Anymore and I'll go mad

The sky is crushing you
And now the walls are closing in on you
Even the floor is tripping you
And all the eyes you ever closed are open,
and they're watching you

Gone out of sight there's only darkness in my eyes
Hey, hey, where are the loosers now
Gone inside outlaws every day a losing streak
Every day they tell us lies


The sky, the sky is crushing you
The wall, the walls are touching you too
Even the floor is clutching you
And all the eyes that ever closed are open,
and they're watching you


Blind justice hears the voice of bribery all right,
Hey, hey, but she don't see the joke
There's only treason left when you put out the light
You can't see who it was that spoke

And all the eyes you ever closed are open,

Hey, hey, the news is awful bad
Two schizophrenics but I can't see them at all
Anymore and I'll go mad


The sky is crushing you
And now the walls are closing in on you
Even the floor is tripping you
And all the eyes you ever closed are open,
and they're watching you

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

Guitar solo ANDY, Guitar solo PETE

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

Guitar solo PETE

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"

Thou who wouldst make us devils
Thou shalt not poison me
The world hath been persuaded to believe thy heresy
I spit in the eye of Satan
And I will spit in thine
The devils that surround thee
Liveth only in thine eye

Shoot me down, baby look at your move
I know you ain't got a thing to lose
Dancing fool, fight for breath
The way you look you scare a man to death
I can't speak, my heart's on fire
You're the focus of my desire
Can't be real, can't be true
Just like a virgin, make me feel brand new

I know you're a bad, bad woman
Turn around and you'll see me coming
I know you're a bad, bad woman
Good enough for me

Here I come baby watch my smoke
I gotta get you and it ain't no joke

You bring a tear to my lying eyes

Get the wish that I wish tonight
Drive me crazy turn me inside out
I gotta have you baby, ain't no doubt

I know you're a bad, bad woman


Turn around and you'll see me coming
I know you're a bad, bad woman
Good enough for me

Give it up baby, let me jump your bones

I can't believe you want me too
Here I come baby, woop-dee-do

I know you're a bad, bad woman
One look and you set me running
I know you're a bad, bad woman
Good enough for me

I know you're a bad, bad woman

I know you're a bad, bad woman
Good enough for me

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
Guitar solo ANDY, Guitar solo PETE
Now the bell is ringing, communion time has come again
Is Father Picard really a friend?
The Bible in her hand reminds her of the wine
The sour tasting blood of Christ
What's going on? What's going on behind these walls....
Guitar solo ANDY
What's going on? Behind these walls....

So, there they stood at the top of the stairs....
Miriam in the mood . . . Jonathan was scared.
Gazing into the dark, Jonathan saw this glow....
For a second, he turned his back,
And she was there like a ghost.
She pushed him hard and clean
. . . to the bottom of the stairs.
"Now we're finally alone, Miriam.
Abigail is here to stay!"
The birth of Abigail would soon be realized.
The second coming of a devil in disguise.
And the moon did not shine....
It was darker than ever before.
On this sacred night
The soul of Miriam was crying out in pain.
Remembering the day . . . Arrival in the rain . . .
The pain of labour was so strong that Miriam died.
Her final seeing was a pair of yellow eyes.
You can still hear her screaming
If you're walking the stairs in July....
Riding from beyond,
The seven Horsemen would arrive before the dawn.
Servants of the Count when Abigail was born the first time.
Oh, no!
They found her in the sarcophagus.
Baby Abigail was eating . . . oh, I cannot tell you . . . .
"Take her . . . and bring her
To the chapel in the forest.
So go now . . . The ceremony!
And the coffin's waiting...."
The Black Horsemen
That's the end of another lullaby....
Time has come for me to say goodnight....

Sitting in the cellar, watching all the others

It was only yesterday, needles in my skin
THEY turned my last remains into this Puppet thing

Blood to walk, blood to see
Blood to walk again and Blood to be

I can see, but I cannot move at all
Yet I have feelings, I know it's very strange

Blood to walk, blood to see
Blood to walk again and Blood to be

I'm on my shelf...Eternal eyes they never sleep
I take a look...and in the dark I see Victoria

[solo: Andy]

There is no mistake, that is my beloved
Sitting on her shelf.. alone and so dead

[solo: Mike]

There's a light outside the door
Mommy and Daddy are back for more.. "Let's play"

"Hello my children...In Blood I will teach you"

[solos: Mike - Andy]


THEY take Victoria down from her shelf
THEY sit her on the floor.. and me in front of her

Blood to walk, blood to see
Blood to walk again and Blood to be

There are strings attached to our heads
There are strings in arms and legs
The Puppet Master"s hands
Oh they keep us straight

Pressing the needle in...I feel the sting, it's Emerencia
Injecting Blood...Into the both of us...It's hot

I think I see her move
There's a tingle in our skin
I can't believe...That she can she again...

There is no mistake, that is my beloved
I have missed you so.. oh no
It's like a Horror Show without a word we know
As we communicate.. with our eyes.. deep inside
We wonder why

Why our minds are now in our eyes
We can move without any strings

"They're alive...that's enough for today.. put them away"

I open my eyes...I can barely see
I got a feeling inside
No one's here but me, no one's here but me...Ohhh
I'm stone cold...I must be lying on a floor
My hands are tied to the wall.. An Iron chain, I can't move at all
Oh...I remember, I must be in the Cellar
My eyes are sucking on the Dark to lighten the gloom
My eyes are no more blind, I can see what's in this room
Full of skeletons, dressed in human skin...
They're sitting on their shelves, a cellar full of Sin..
They're made from humans
Ahh.. Ahh.. Ahh..
So many Puppets here, there are eyes everywhere
There are eyes I recognize
Oh no, it's the eyes of my love.. The eyes of my love
Oh Victoria Nooooo
[solo: Andy]
My hands are tied to the wall.. An Iron chain, I can't move at all
Oh...I remember
[solos: Andy - Mike]
Full of skeletons, dressed in human skin:
They're sitting on their shelves, a cellar full of Sin..
I open my eyes.. I can barely see a thing
All the tears in my eyes, someone better say it's a dream
[solo: Mike]
Blue eyes, blue eyes, blue eyes I recognize
Blue eyes in the night
They see nothing, and yet they're so alive
Blue eyes, they're so alive
All the tears in my eyes, someone better say it's a dream
Blue eyes, blue eyes, blue eyes I recognize
Blue eyes in the night
They see nothing, and yet they're so alive
Yet they're so alive: yet they're so alive

Alright

Listen up here, I'll make it quite clear
I'm gonna put some boogie in your ear
Shake and bop, don't you stop
Dance like a maniac until you drop

I don't mind, I don't mind
I can run a razor right up your spine
What are you waiting for
What do you think you were created for?

Show us you care, show us you dare
You don't know what happened, not if you weren't there

Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
We know to do it and we do it real well
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
Voodoo medicine, cast my spell
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
Play that guitar just like ringin' a bell
Take it or leave it

Going for broke, rock till you choke
It don't matter if you drink or smoke
Speak through the beat, get up on your feet
Sweating like a hound dog, white as a sheet

Don't you be scared, don't you be scared
Everybody terrified, I don't seem fair
What are you waiting for
What do you think you were created for?

Out of your seat, blind in the heat
Do the nasty boogie mama, stomp your feet

Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
We know to do it and we do it real well
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
Go on out and boogie 'cause you never can tell
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
Go back to zero take a pill and get well
Be a good soldier and die where you fell

Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
We know to do it and we do it real well
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
Go on out and boogie 'cause you never can tell
Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
Go back to zero take a pill and get well
Be a good soldier and die where you fell

Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
We know to do it and we do it real well

Alright

Listen up here, I'll make it quite clear
I'm gonna put some boogie in your ear
Shake and bop, don't you stop
Dance like a maniac until you drop

What are you waiting for
What do you think you were created for?

Show us you care, show us you dare
You don't know what happened, not if you weren't there

Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
We know to do it and we do it real well

Born to raise hell, born to raise hell

Born to raise hell, born to raise hell
We know to do it and we do it real well

The storm was gone, but dark clouds still hung around
The perfect setting for things to come, late afternoon
She was still in bed after her visit to the crypt
Someone was calling Henry's name
Or was it only in her dream?

A dream of breaking glass, glass cutting into flesh
Rain turning red, blood running for the dead

[Solo: Andy]

Again she heard a name... it was louder, but the same

Jonathan was fighting his way out of bed
[J:] "Where is Brandon Henry and why is he late?"
[A:] "He didn't feel very well today
So I sent him back to bed and there he'll stay
But I, my dear, will cater to your needs
For you I will be the hand, the hand that feeds"

Abigail obsessed with her revenge
Her old spirit was back
It made her remember her dream of broken glass
"Use it in your scheme, the broken glass"



[Solo: Mike]

Broken glass crushed into sugar glace
Making dinner for Jonathan, Abigail was having fun
Would it be romantic dinner or slaughter of the lamb?
Would broken glass be cutting deep, deep into the flesh of a man?

Dinner was enjoyed by candlelight
And Jonathan was wearing his
Funeral suit, it put him in the right mood
Whatever it took, he would do

[Outro solos: Andy]

He was in love... he was in love again
He was in love... he was in love again
But Abigail would soon feed his love away
Feed his love away

"Dinner is served"
