King Diamond - Emerencia Lyrics
The shadows are thick and OldI'm searching the dark for my loveBehind the Theater of Puppet ShowsI find the stairs to the Cellar belowHiding where the shadows ruleA door opens belowThe Moon is high above300 pounds of flesh, that woman I knowOh it's the Puppet Master's wifeShe pulls a cart behind her"Oh Emerencia", where are you going with that knife?[solo: Mike]Time to kill, it's time for her nightly thrill"Oh Emerencia", where are you going with that knife?Deep in the night through the narrowest streetsI follow her every stepShe is searching for innocent victims"Oh Emerencia"In an alley a homeless is sleepingApproaching without a sound...and then...oh no"How strange it is.. to see.. a life that slips awayHow strange it is.. in Darkness Blood is Black not Red"[solo: Andy]The knife is still deep in his chestGotta keep the Blood in its nestShe wraps him in the sack she broughtShe better leave before she gets caughtThrough the streets dark and OldThrough the streets, no one must knowOnly the Moon and IAnd none of us will ever tellShe pulls the body off the cartBack at the Theater, down into the dark"Oh Emerencia", I wonder why you left the door ajar[solo: Andy]Deep in the night through the narrowest hallwaysI follow her every stepThere's a light from a doorway ahead of usWhere did she go, where did she go...? Oh noWhat I see is a Horror Show...then the blow...
