Twilight Symphony

King Diamond · Them [1988]

Morning came and so did they

Flying questions from the police

I'm waiting here in an ambulance for Dr. Landau

To return and tell me

Why they're taking me so far away

"I did what I did and I'm glad I did,

'cos I could have been the...

I could have been the next in line"



Nobody found a trace of Missy

I'd be the last to tell them anyway

How could I ever ever explain



Now I hear "Them" again, singing

Twilight symphony, twilight

I hear "Them" again, singing

Twilight symphony, twilight



Grandma' was dead with an open neck

Blood still running from my open mouth

I knew they would blame it

They would blame it all on me

How could I ever ever explain



Now I hear "Them" again, singing

Twilight symphony, twilight

I hear "Them" again, singing

Twilight symphony, twilight



Dr. Landau returned

And I told him the story

"Are you mad or just insane?"

I tried anyway

"You can take him away now

the boy has lost his mind"

Oh no no



I haven't seen my mother

Since they took me away

And Dr. Landau wouldn't tell me

He wouldn't tell me anything

Oh! I'm back on the outside



Time has caught up with me

And I must leave for the old house

Yes I must leave now

Grandma', I'm coming

I'm coming home now

I'm coming home now
