The Trees Have Eyes

King Diamond · Nightmare in the Nineties [2001]

I'd been riding hard most of the night

Wooded ravines on a mountain side

My horse was getting tired, and so was I

Up there the moon was full

Down here darkness ruled

The trees were so much higher than they were meant to be



In what is known as "The Devil's Hide"

I knew I was not alone, and it was not that crazy moon above

Oh no, I could feel the trees have eyes



I used to know this road so well

Many a time i was here before

But now it seemed so different

The road was no more

I was lost, I stopped and looked around

I had this eerie feeling, that I was being watched



In what is known as "The Devil's Hide"

I knew I was not alone, and it was not that crazy moon above

Oh no, I could feel the trees have eyes

Watching me

The trees have eyes, watching me!



Then the sound I didn't wanna hear

Howling at the moon

Eyes I didn't wanna see

I should have turned around

So much louder, the howling was chilling my bones

One wolf grown to a dozen

And here I was alone

Yellow eyes, they were everywhere

Yellow eyes, as I prepared to die



Then suddenly there she was, in a halo of light

Then suddenly there she was, silvery black and white

The bluest magical eyes staring right into mine

Never ever had I seen in a wolf, such a beautiful beast



In what is known as "The Devil's Hide"

I knew I was not alone, and it was not that crazy moon above

Oh no, I could feel the trees have eyes
