The Portrait
[King Diamond] "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 "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, trace of crime" "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 life again" oh molly 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" From Letras Mania
