Behind These Walls Lyrics by King Diamond (Band)

The Eye

1990

[Verse 1]
Walking in the garden, picking flowers in the sun
Madeleine is on her own
She can't see any of the other nuns
Is she blind or is it her mind?
What's going on?
What's going on behind these walls?
Oh
What's going on?
Oh
[Verse 2]
All the birds are singing but Madeleine can't hear their song
Memories of screams in the night
Moaning coming from below where the prison cells are cold
She does not understand what's going on
[Guitar Solo: Pete Blakk]
[Guitar Solo: Andy LaRocque]
[Verse 3]
Now the bell is ringing, communion time has come again
Is Father Picard really a friend?
The Bible in her hand reminds her of the wine
The sour tasting blood of Christ
What's going on?
What's going on behind these walls?
Oh
What's going on?
Oh
[Guitar Solo: Andy LaRocque]
[Outro]
What's going on?
What's going on behind these walls?
