King Diamond (Band)
The Cellar
[Verse 1]
Why do I feel this way?
Deep in my mind I know that I should stay away
Anyway I go, down below
Down to the cellar where the little girl just might show
[Verse 2]
The dark is so much darker here
The candlelight can't break the sensation of fear
I see a trail of blood
Leading down into the dark where no one should go
[Verse 3]
I shouldn't be down here, not tonight
Evil is in the air, tonight
I shouldn't be down here, not tonight
Everything is closing in on me
[Verse 4]
Here I am, in the dark, there's no return
Then in a halo of light, I see a shape, I know it's her, oh
So many black little wings meet me as I enter the cellar
So many black little wings, black little wings on my face
Oh no, no, no, I cannot see, I cannot see what's going on
I hear her breathe, I hear her wheeze
And then she points her little finger right at me
[Guitar Solo: Andy LaRocque]
[Bridge]
Mine, mine, mine, mine, give me your soul please
Mine, mine, mine, mine, stay away from me
Mine, mine, mine, mine, give me your soul please
Mine, mine, mine, mine
Oh no, no, no
[Verse 5]
I, I've got to get away
Her piercing eyes will burn deep into my mind
I slowly turn around
I can feel her closing in and then I'm falling down
[Verse 6]
The dark is so much darker than before
The candle in my hand doesn't burn anymore
I think I'm losing my mind
As I'm barely crawling out, out of this place
[Outro]
I shouldn't be down there, not tonight
Evil is in the air, tonight
I shouldn't be down there, not tonight
I can't believe I made it out of there
