King Diamond - At The Graves Lyrics






Missy I miss you so, oh little sister
I wish you'd come back to me and sit by my side
We'd laugh and we'd play again, if only you'll try
You know "they" would show the way
From the other side

Rise from your grave little sister

Rise... rise... rise my friends... rise
Spirits rising from their grave
Burning shadows in the dead of night
Icy fingers all over my hand
Try to make me understand
"Finally we have returned... all of us"

Missy is that you, come closer
Spirits rising from their grave
Everywhere that ghostly stare
Icy fingers all over my hand
Lead me back to where she stands
"They" are back to share my life... "they" are back

Missy come, come with me, there are things I must know
How did you get here, where's the door to the other side
"Beyond the graves lies the gate
The gate that leads to the dead
We have to leave before the dawn
If not by the sun we will burn"

Spirits rising from their grave
Soon the dawn will chase the dark away
Icy fingers all over my hand
Lead me back to where "they" stand
Am I glad you have returned... all of you

Do you remember when grandmother said she heard "them" sing
I've heard "them" too and I really wish I could hear "them" again
"In your mind you'll hear "them" sing
Every night at the graves
We have to leave before the dawn
If not by the sun we will burn
Now sing"

Show your powers onto me

  13. x.... z....

    All hail King Diamond!!!

  14. A.... Z....

    49 people weren't invited to have tea with grandma.

  15. M.... B....

    I’m a total loser

  16. j.... ....

    One of their best songs!

  17. J.... A....

    In your mind, you'll hear them sing, every night at the graves....

  18. L.... R....

    Where's the lyrics DICK?

  19. C.... R....

    There should be 0 dislikes, even if you don't King's voice the musicianship here is top notch! Me, personally I think his vocals enhance the music, i'll admit i was a little turned off by his singing at first but then i shut up and actually listened and heard the stories he tells and it's been nothing but love ever since

  20. D.... R....

    The weeping quality of that intro is priceless...
    haunting and sorrowful, like a weeping demon...
    I don't get this anywhere else you know?

    Except maybe... the great composer of Paris..
    The Phantom of the Opera...


    King Diamond is something else..

  21. B.... C....

    Finally we have returned King Diamond videos of the man that can not be missed by vocals by anybody unless it's some woman or guy that sings opera but still nobody has a voice like him totally fucking awesome

  22. T.... H....

    The mans voice is sonic warfare, I love it!

  23. C.... P....

    My Fav of his...many other songs...sleepless nights...etc....but I SO FRICKIIN LOVE THIS SONG and Andy Delivers on the guitar!!!!

  24. O.... T....

    One of the best in Heavy Metal ever.
    If you liked this one, you should also listen to "THEM" album - it's genius. Totally.
    Thinking about other bands who probably made the similar contribution to Heavy Metal, I could name Judas Priest with his Painkiller album, and especially the title song.

    O.... T....

    Them is pt 1 n conspiracy is pt 2,, some of the best shit ever

  25. �.... �....

    My son will listen to this to sleep well

  26. B.... T....

    3:00 "THEY" are back to share My life...WUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA "THEY" are back.

    Love this part ...

    B.... T....

    FUCKING HEAVY DUDEEEEEEE!!!!

    B.... T....

    Hell yea same here! His laugh is awesome and evil! And the song really picks up the tempo and shreds

  27. F.... T....

    Muy aburido

  28. R.... O....

    When we were kids and didn't have drinking money we would sell our tapes for ten bucks. Enough for a flask. Brought it off a guy and first listen thought his voice was awful. For some reason it never left mind and am still obsessed since 89! Through all my phases in metal, I always had KING DIAMOND!

  29. D.... K....

    3:12 that solo ugh...!!!

  30. C.... K....

    Yeah alot of people hate king diamond because they're stuck on them nu metal bands like Slipknot(whom I actually like), Godsmack, disturbed, system of a brown, seven pizza crust, rage against the soda machine and her(I mean him).

  31. H.... ....

    Hail to the Master of this dark and comfortable tunes.

  32. M.... A....

    Missy I miss you so. oh little sister
    I wish you'd come back to me and sit by my side
    We'd laugh and we'd play again, if only you'll try
    You know "they" would show the way
    From the other side
    Rise from your grave little sister
    Rise rise rise my friends rise
    Spirits rising from their grave
    Burning shadows in the dead of night
    Icy fingers all over my hand
    Try to make me understand
    "finally we have returned all of us"
    Missy is that you, come closer
    Spirits rising from their grave
    Everywhere that ghostly stare
    Icy fingers all over my hand
    Lead me back to where she stands
    "they" are back to share my life "they" are back
    Missy come, come with me, there are things I must know
    How did you get here, where's the door to the other side
    Missy: "beyond the graves lies the gate
    The gate that leads to the dead

    Show your powers onto me

  33. T.... ....

  37. S.... R....

    Aquí con mi compa recordando el SGL.

    Viva el Rey.

  38. D.... L....

    the power metal breakdowns with the thrash riffs are epic here. ..remember halloween of 89 seeing the one page ad for this album in Rip magazine and I already had Them on tape and Melissa on record. ..still almost 30 years later bumping this!!!

  39. D.... L....

    having Mikkey Dee on this would have been the missing ingredient

    D.... L....

    I would be curious to hear this if Mikkee had been on this versus Snowy Shaw, however, I REALLY dug Snowy's snare work on this recording bigtime.

  40. C.... M....

    Love him, or hate him. But few can sing like him.

  41. D.... ....

    Saw this tour. I should have paid more attention. What a genius.

  42. N.... ....

    masterpiece

  43. M.... M....

    What kind of insane waste of sperm “disliked” this?! Blows my mind!

    M.... M....

    Agreed !

    M.... M....

    It's just a simple straight fact the King Diamond is unmatched on vocals the true metal god the only king of metal

    M.... M....

    Some trolls

    M.... M....

    If you dislike a video it changes the algorithm so no more of its kind appear in your feed

    M.... M....

    They'll PAY for their insolence!

  44. J.... H....

    Still rips

  45. J.... R....

    Great song!

  46. F.... G....

    Excellent arrangements of Andy LaRocque and Pete Blakk. Good Album

    Hail to the king!

  50. R.... A....

  60. i.... ....

    I was born to this song, never regretted it. I am currently 13 and still a huge king diamond fan. Saw him perform live last year, was amazing. 😘

  61. L.... D....

    I was talking to a friend on Twitter about music, told him I like the classic stuff like metallica, maiden, dokken, etc, he told me to check out King Diamond and Meriful Fayte and I'm hooked. Awesome stuff. Can't believe I missed it. It had that Rock Opera kind of vibe to it. LOVE IT.

  62. J.... M....

    perfect perfect perfect!! master

  63. P.... O....

    The king is dead...Long live The King!

  64. 8.... ....

    gene simmons sues king diamond for face paint - alice cooper threatens to sue gene simmons - gene simmons drops lawsuit.

    8.... ....

    Is that a true story?

    8.... ....

    xyhmo no

    8.... ....

    Kiss is garbage, just a marketing vehicle sold as a band. Arthur Brown started the whole face paint thing anyway, so as usual, Gene doesn't have a leg to stand on.

  65. N.... C....

    The King of Darkness.

  66. L.... A....

    Masterpiece!

  72. T.... G....

    I discovered the King in 1987, while in high school. When this album came out, my gf got it for me and I use to go to sleep listening to it.

    T.... G....

    I was into King Diamond Back in the day when he when he was playing for merciful fate then when his first over and made his own band King Diamond I have never liked him since he's incredibly talented he can play drums Guitar just about any instrument he's fucking awesome that's why he was the king of metal the true metal god

  73. p.... ....

    HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE LETS FUCK IN THE GRAVEYARD

    p.... ....

    drink his blood drink his blood

  74. K.... D....

    one masterpieces this album

  75. J.... D....

    13 people need to have their testicles squeezed

    J.... D....

    John Doe jealousy gets you nowhere. I don't even think you have a clue how hard it is to sing like that consistently d******

  76. A.... k....

    tha king..love it or leave it.I love it...

  77. I.... v....

    THE LYRIC LINK IS A VIRUS

  78. D.... G....

    If the starting bit was just a song seperated and a bit longer I would listen the shit out of it...

  79. T.... R....

    Andy and Pete Blakks solos are fucking amazing on this album. Highlight of shred guitar right here. Not to mention KD's voice! Amazingly talented singer who can still do this at 60 yrs old!!

    T.... R....

    Headbanger9000 i would say, king uses delay voice effect machine making this voice, its not completly hers

    T.... R....

    +James Hetfield whatre you talking about? He doesnt use any harmonizers, pitch shifters or anything on his voice. So what, he uses delay, just like Halford uses it at times and he sings through a filter. Every Metal singer uses effects in the studio, deal with it

    T.... R....

    +James Hetfield do you even know what delay does? Machine? whatre you on about?

    T.... R....

    Just bought this cd new off evil bay..been a fan since ABIGAIL came out..

  80. T.... ....

    Icy fingers... ALL OVER MY HANDS!!!!

    T.... ....

    TooThymer
    Best

  81. S.... e....

    Production quality is top fucking notch here!

    S.... e....

    Shovel est especially for a black metal album

  82. D.... C....

    I used to be scared shitless listening to this when i was a kid hehehehe now i own the whole discography

    D.... C....

    Diogo Cordeiro you pussy. Music can't hurt you and satin dosnt exist in the real world. Do you believe in the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus also basically the same thing just a fantasy not reality unless you're brainless and can't think for yourself. I've been through the Church of Satan I need and they say he doesn't really exist the Necronomicon is the book written by a complete psycho. Satan's just a cool figure that people kind of look up to you it's like you're lying God. How many times does God intervene in your life to make it better I'll guess none. Divine intervention is a fantasy I'm more a convenient circumstance. People think too much about simple stupid s***

    D.... C....

    Im so sick of people taking religion seriously it's just a ploy to get your money and it started out as a moral understanding of how to treat your fellow man but over the years it has been convoluted and changed over to where there's no reality left in it. Remember the game you played in middle school or Elementary School where the teacher told one student one sentence and each student told it all the way around the room and by the time I got back it was completely different. Well guess what folks that's what religion has become a misconstrued understanding of what someone tried to bring a good example into the world but there are too many stupid people out there to get it so they make s*** up thinking that it's true and it's going to tell people how to run their lives. I think that's a load of crap. Hail me I'm God no one tells me what to do except me I'm in charge of my destiny as well as good or bad decisions your fake God has nothing to do with that. That's just for the weak-minded who need that sorry form of comfort in their life to get through their pathetic existence. I don't care if you not liking what you're hearing it's the truth and I can prove it.

    D.... C....

    Just because music is different doesn't make it bad it's actually one of the most creative forms of music out there besides classical and jazz. Rap and Country is a pathetic attempt at making music and making people happy. The ones that listen to that have no clue real music is. Love or hate me you know I'm f****** right

    D.... C....

    @Josh Kause Satin does exist. Bedsheets are made of it.

  83. A.... B....

    Still rips.

    A.... B....

    Maybe but Alive from the grave !!!! Cheers Amanda ;)

  84. S.... ....

    My bro (older by 13 years) used to listen to this song, so I was listening to this song, and I was like 5 when that happened. 23 years later I am still listening to King Diamond and At The Graves. Thanks bro!!!!

    S.... ....

    is your brother alive ?

    S.... ....

    I Bought this Cassette tape 26 Year's Ago, Still have it, 1 of A Kind Badass!!🥁🥁🎃🎃👍👍

    S.... ....

    Me influencing my little sister, same age Gap.

  85. V.... H....

    Best KD's album IMO.

    V.... H....

    Likewise

  86. d.... ....

    como me gusta su musica

  87. J.... S....

    How could ppl hate his voice, its his 'persona'...he took opera to sing like that!!!!! King rulz

    J.... S....

    idk man, some people just have shit taste in singers. There are many who trash KD but think Axl Rose is good.... Im a singer and I listen to opera music some times. Hes the closest to Opera singing you can get in Metal. People just wanna hear generic vocals or screaming bull shit

  88. D.... A....

    So many people hate his voice... man, that guy is the king of voice!!!!

    D.... A....

    The Wizard of Thousand Voices!

    D.... A....

    @Sebastian Galan fuck off u moron

    D.... A....

    Danilo Almeida How can anyone, idk if over ever met someone who did

    D.... A....

    being Love or hate is better than middle ground. It means you are awesome. There is nothing worse than appealing to the fat middle.

    D.... A....

    what makes his voice sound so cool is the lady who is in the back ground singing witch know one ever says anything about wonder why

  89. M.... D....

    ok....grand trx.wow/king diamond...master of hellishttttttundergroundisht...

  90. M.... M....

    Finally, we have returned. ALL OF US!

  91. S.... R....

    I had this cd.The rumor was King Diamond is "the devil".LOL

    S.... R....

    Stephen R Rinderer King Diamond is the f****** devil or his right hand man. That dude is a satanic As It Gets but that's not a bad thing satanists worship themselves Satan doesn't actually exist. If you believe there is a devil you also must believe in Santa Claus in the Easter Bunny. Wisen up

    S.... R....

    King Diamond's version of satanism is a lot closer to atheism than anything.

  92. G.... R....

    Great music
    Love this band ♥

  93. N.... R....

    "Missy is that you"
