Black Horsemen (7:39) Lyrics - King Diamond

So, there they stood at the top of the stairs 

Miriam in the mood, Jonathan was scared 

Gazing into the dark, Jonathan saw the star 

For a second he turned his back 

And she was there like a ghost 

She pushed him hard and clean 

To the bottom of the stairs 

To the bottom of the stairs 

Now we're finally alone, Miriam 

Abigail is here to stay 

The birth of Abigail would soon be realized 

The second coming of a devil in disguise 

And the moon did not shine 

It was darker than ever before 

On this sacred night, the soul of Miriam 

Was crying out in pain 

Remembering the day, arrival in the rain 

The pain of labor was so strong that Miriam died 

The final seeing was a pair of yellow eyes 

You can still hear her screaming 

If you're walking the stairs in July 

Riding from beyond 

The Seven Horsemen would arrive before the dawn 

Servants of the count, when Abigail was born the first time 

They found her in the sarcophagus 

Baby Abigail was eating, oh I cannot tell you 

Take her and bring her, to the chapel in the forest 

So go now the ceremony and the coffin's waiting 

The Black Horsemen 

That's the end of another lullaby 

Time has come for me to say "Goodnight"
