Emerencia

Lyrics

[Intro: King Diamond] The shadows are thick and old I'm searching the dark for my love Behind the theater of puppet shows I find the stairs to the cellar below [Verse 1: King Diamond, Livia Zita] Oh, hiding where the shadows rule A door opens below The moon is high above Three hundred pounds of flesh, that woman I know Woah, it's the Puppet Master's wife She pulls a cart behind her Oh, Emerencia Where are you going with that knife? [Guitar Solo: Mike Wead] [Verse 2: King Diamond, Livia Zita] Time to kill It's time for her nightly thrill Oh, Emerencia Where are you going with that knife? [Verse 3: King Diamond, Livia Zita] Deep in the night through the narrowest streets I follow her every step She is searching for innocent victims Oh, Emerencia In an alley a homeless is sleeping Approaching without a sound And then, oh no [Bridge 1: Livia Zita] How strange it is to see a life that slips away How strange it is, in darkness blood is black, not red [Guitar Solo: Andy LaRocque] [Bridge 2: King Diamond] The knife is still deep in his chest Gotta keep the blood in it's nest She wraps him in the sack she brought She better leave before she gets caught [Verse 4: King Diamond, Livia Zita] Through the streets, dark and old Through the streets, no-one must know Only the moon and I And none of us will ever tell She pulls the body off the cart Back at the theater and down into the dark Oh, Emerencia I wonder why you left the door ajar [Guitar Solo: Andy LaRocque] [Outro: King Diamond] Deep in the night through the narrowest hallways I follow her every step There's a light from a doorway ahead of us Where did she go, where did she go? Oh no What I see is a horror show, then the blow Uunghh
