the invisible guests

king diamond’un 1988 tarihli them albümünden...

late that night i awoke from my sleep
hearing unknown voices laughing
insane
grandma’ was one, oh it’s coming
from the room next to mine

it’s grandma’ room... the invisible
guests

as i stood there alone in the dark
peeking through the keyhole, couldn’t
believe my eyes
i’d never seen anything like it, only
grandma’ was inside the room

speaking to no one... the invisible
guests

cups were rising in thin air and then
emptied on the floor
suddenly the door was open and
grandma’ said
"do come in my little friend"

missy and mother were sleeping
downstairs
if they could see me in grandmother’s
chair

grandmother said "look me deep in
the eyes
you will forget what you saw here
tonight"

"i will let you in on the secret of this
house
the secret of amon... that’s what we
call this house
now i want you to go back to sleep,
now go back to sleep my dear"

the invisible guests

cups were rising in thin air and then
emptied on the floor
suddenly the door was open and
grandma’ said
"now you must go back to sleep"

"go to sleep"... "go to sleep"...
"go to sleep"...

missy and mother were sleeping
downstairs
if they could see me in grandmother’s
chair
