The Portrait (Reissue)

　　　
Artist：king diamond
Songs Title：the portrait
My mother was obsessed by evil jealousy
She didnt want nobody to even look at molly
She kept me locked up in this attic till I died
Only 4 years old, my story left untold
Oh molly...oh molly
Mother was struck by this infallible idea
If she could paint my portrait I would remain immortal
And I could hang downstairs above the fireplace
A little girl in lace, not a single trace of crime
Solo: andy
Each day and night she worked and autumn turned to spring
For every stroke she painted a little life was ended
At last I felt so weak I could not even speak
But in that fatal portrait my spirit came to lfe again
Oh molly
That night I made the portrait speak in evil tongue:
Youre gonna go beyond too, may pain and death bestow you
She grabbed a book and spoke aloud an ancient rhyme
While she burned the portrait in the candle of fate
Oh molly
Ive gotta se ma
