King Diamond - The Portrait
------------------------------------------

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

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 see Ma
