Darkness Lyrics by King Diamond (Band)

The Puppet Master

2003

[Intro: King Diamond]
For thirteen days
We have trained and trained
We're learning to walk again
We're learning to stretch our skin
[Verse 1: King Diamond]
Every time they bring us back to life
Little jars come down from the shelf
Every time, we feel the sting
Every time, we feel the blood going in, yeah
The blood going in
[Pre-Chorus 1: King Diamond]
Our eyes are now our minds
Our souls are in our magical skin
The blood they use must come from our own
Living just an hour and then we fade again
[Chorus: Livia Zita, King Diamond]
In the darkness, we live our lives
In the dark, we die again
In the darkness, we live our lives
In the dark, we die and die and die again
[Post-Chorus: King Diamond]
Darkness
Darkness
[Verse 2: King Diamond]
Every night, Victoria and I
We spend what's left of the blood in our systems
Sitting on opposite shelves
Talking with our eyes, trying to remember
It is all that we've got
[Pre-Chorus 2: King Diamond]
Our eyes are now our minds
Our souls are in our magical skin
We're living through our memories
And it's worth it, woah
[Chorus: Livia Zita, King Diamond]
In the darkness, we live our lives
In the dark, we die again
In the darkness, we live our lives
In the dark, we die and die and die again
[Post-Chorus]
Darkness
Darkness
The Puppet Master is here again
[Guitar Solo: Andy LaRocque]
[Bridge: King Diamond, Livia Zita]
"Tonight you will dance for me, puppet girl
Tonight, no strings attached"
But I can't, never, ever did I dance
I don't have a chance
"Dance"
I take a step, oh, I try my best
I stumble into the shelves with all the jars
Six, six of them are coming down
Broken glass and puppet life is on the floor
[Outro: King Diamond, Livia Zita]
In the darkness, we live our lives
"Send her far away, far away from here"
In the darkness, we live our lives
"To the other theater, tomorrow morning, she must be gone
Send her to Berlin
Send that puppet to Berlin"
