A Mansion In Darkness (Reissue) - 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 wich was to be

A house where evil ruled 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 again lit again

And the house began to breathe

It seemed to be alive

Yeah the house

Began to breathe alive

The As candlelight

Began to fade

And jonathan said

Lets go to bed

The fireplace had

Ceased to burn 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
