A Mansion In Darkness Lyrics - The Best Of King Diamond - King Diamond

Riding up the alley in the rain 

No lights to show the way 

How could this ever be their home 

Through the darkness You could only see 

A giant shadow which was to be 

A house where evil ruled at night 

And the shadows at the gate, they seemed to be alive 

Yeah the shadows at the gate, Alive 

Everything inside was left untouched 

Except for what the rats had got 

And the dust of time that showed its mark 

Armed with candlelight and open eyes 

Through the dark they fought their way 

'Til every room was lit again...Again 

And the house began to breathe, it seemed to be alive 

Yeah the house began to breathe, Alive 

As the candlelight began to fade 

And Jonathan said "Let's go to bed" 

The fireplace had ceased to burn...Burn 

Both were fast asleep before the dawn, Dreaming, dreaming 

And they did not know about the shadow 

Yeah the shadow on the wall, it really came alive 

Yeah the shadow on the wall, Sunrise!
