Lyrics King Diamond

King Diamond

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?"

Solo: Andy

"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"

Solo: Glen

"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

Solo: Glen

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 UNIVERSE, here I come.. THIS PLACE IS TERRIBLE
