King Diamond - A Mansion in Darkness

A Mansion in Darkness 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 lit again...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 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, sunrise! ---------------------------------------- 북유럽 출생답게 블랙메탈을 주로 했으며, 자신의 스테이지 이름을 밴드 이름에도 그대로 적용해서 활동했습니다. 음악 장르와 가사의 메시지 때문에 종교 단체들로부터 악마교라는 지탄을 많이 받았지만, 정작 자신은 "난 아무런 종교도 믿지 않는다. 내가 생각하는 종교란 늘 사람들로 하여금 서로를 죽이고 멸망케 하는 것이다. 그런 점 때문에 난 종교를 믿지 않는다." 라며 교묘하게 자신을 반박하는 이들을 비판하지요
