The Jonah Lyrics - Fatal Portrait - King Diamond

After 7 years on a dusty shelf 

The book seemed unreal 

For 7 years in an ancient rhyme 

The fate of a girl was sealed 

In the attic, I was searching by the moonlight 

What would I find 

Old and gray from dust, I felt it staring back 

Oh, that book 

Yellow pages caught my eyes, so unreal 

Through the dust of time 

In an ancient rhyme, the truth had been sealed 

On a broken shelf it would all be revealed 

It had been there for years 

And no one ever knew 

Now break the spell and free the girl 

From the candle of fate 

Look at the flame and say the rhyme 

The end is near, no more pain, ah you're free 

As the candle melts away, the spirit of the candle girl 

Emerges from the flame, she doesn't seem the same 

With a smile on her face 

She starts to speak 

Hear my story
