from the songs album Fatal Portrait
(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"
