Lyrics - The Portrait by King Diamond

============(music & lyrics:
King
Diamond)
The
Spirit
Of
The
Candle:
Theme:
Mike"
My
Mother
Was
Obsessed
By
Evil
Jealousy
She
Didn't
Want
Nobody
To
Even
Look
At
Molly
She
Kept
Me
Locked
Up
In
This
Attic '
Till
I
Died
Only 4
Years
Old,
My
Story
Left
Untold"
Oh
Molly...
Oh
Molly"
Mother
Was
Struck
By
This
Infallible
Idea
If
She
Could
Paint
My
Portrait
I
Would
Remain
Immortal
And
I
Could
Hang
Downstairs
Above
The
Fireplace
A
Little
Girl
In
Lace,
Not
A
Single
Trace
Of
Crime"
Solo:
Andy"
Each day
And
Night
She
Worked
And
Autumn
Turned
To
Spring
For
Every
Stroke
She
Painted
A
Little
Life
Was
Ended
At
Last
I
Felt
So
Weak
I
Could
Not
Even
Speak
But
In
That
Fatal
Portrait
My
Spirit
Came
To
Lfe
Again"
Oh
Molly
Solo:
Mike -
Theme:
Mike"
That
Night
I
Made
The
Portrait
Speak
In
Evil
Tongue:
You're
Gonna
Go
Beyond
Too,
May
Pain
And
Death
Bestow
You
She
Grabbed
A
Book
And
Spoke
Aloud
An
Ancient
Rhyme
While
She
Burned
The
Portrait
In
The
Candle
Of
Fate"
Oh
Molly"
I've
Gotta
Se
Ma"
