Miriam Lyrics - Abigail Ii: The Revenge - King Diamond

Curtains of back were inside the room 

Shutting out the light, the light that always hurt his eyes 

There was nothing bright in this entire mansion... no, no 

Except for the candlelight... the light... and the fire that burned real slow 

Oh Miriam... why did you have to go and die? 

Curtains of black were inside the room 

Abigail was not alone, there was someone else in here too 

"Come closer dear", said the shadow in the wheelchair 

"Stand by the fireplace, so I can better see your face" 

Oh Miriam, why did you have to go and die? 

[Solo: Andy] 

The shadow could not believe, the likeness in her face 

It looked as if his Miriam had come back from the grave 

"I am Count de La Fey, and you are?" 

"Abigail", she whispered and shivered to the bone 

"Can I?", he said "Can I,.. can I call you Miriam?" 

"Miriam... or Abigail is fine 

You can even call me Lucy for it is just a name" 

He struggled out of the wheelchair 

Since his fall many years ago 

Now he could only walk by a cane, what a shame 

[Solo: Andy] 

"Don't move! Stay where you are", and then he was right behind her 

Touching her long black hair, he was breathing much harder now 

Then he grabbed her head 

In the pain she screamed as he 

Yanked out a lock of that beautiful hair, oh dear oh dear oh dear 

He quickly struggled across the floor to a smaller cabinet 

Behind glass door it said: "To My beloved Dear" 

It was then he started to compare, and she saw the other HAIR 

In his twisted mind, she was back, but why 

"I must retire my dear in order to prepare 

You should do the same, tomorrow an heir"
