King Diamond - Darkness Lyrics






For 13 days... we have trained and trained
We're learning to walk again, we're learning to stretch our skin

Every time they bring us back to life
Little jars come down from the shelves
Every time we feel the sting
Every time we feel the blood going in

Our eyes are now our minds
Our souls... are in our magical skin
The blood they use must come from our own
Living just an hour, then we fade again

"In the darkness we live our lives"
In the dark we die again
"In the darkness we live our lives"
In the dark we die and die and die again

Darkness... darkness

Every night Victoria and I
We spend what's left of the blood in our systems
Sitting on opposite shelves
Talking with our eyes, trying to remember
It is all that we've got

Our eyes are now our minds
Our souls... are in our magical skin
We're living through our memories
And it's worth it...

"In the darkness we live our lives"
In the dark we die again
"In the darkness we live our lives"
In the dark we die and die and die again

Darkness... darkness
The puppet master is hear again

"Tonight you will dance for me puppet girl
Tonight... no strings attached"

"But I can't, never did I dance, oh I don't have a chance"

"Dance"

"I take a step, oh I try my best
I stumble into the shelves with all the jars"
6... 6 of them coming down
Broken glass and puppet life is on the floor

"In the darkness we live out lives"
"Send her far away, far away from here"
"In the darkness we live our lives"
"To the other theater... tomorrow morning she must be gone
Send her to Berlin... send that"

    The keyboard on the beginning of the song is so much alike to Uriah Heep's Sunrise. The King is a great fan of David Byron so his son is named Byron.

  25. l.... ....

    Motorhead gay? Fucking really? Lemmy has fucked so many women

  26. s.... ....

    metallica are old and boring and motorhead are gay.

  27. A.... ....

    All Hail the King!! \m/

  28. L.... S....

    no, the 80's mentality is still there, the only deference is that you had glam, and we have shitty little bands like slipknot etc. . . it's still the same. METAL TILL DEATH!

  29. S.... ....

    Unfortunately, the mentality of the metalfans of the 80s is long gone. A shame really.

  30. S.... ....

    why the hell you desecrate Kim Petersen's work with such annoying and retarded comments.. douchebags.

  31. c.... ....

    That "Tonight you will dance for me puppet girl..." part is just so eerie and beautiful. Makes shivers go down my spine

  32. M.... S....

    WHOOOOOAAAAAA there cowboy. Rammstein is good. not greatest, but theyre good. Slipknot fucking blows. lets get that clear here...

  33. G.... ....

    Hahaha redderick

  34. J.... ....

    wtf is deeming people invalid by what they like ? fuck off with your redderick

  35. G.... ....

    'People' who deem others "ignorant" are drones who haven't got the ground to stand on; who's sources grow small: call Stephen Hawking's books or Darwin equal to the Bible as a matter of 'personal preference'; doesn't change the fact that the latter is inferior and botched.

  36. J.... ....

    you are ignorant and judgemental ^^

  37. B.... S....

    OUT OF HATE

  38. B.... S....

    RAPE SLIPKNOT

  39. E.... B....

    And rammstein too. Long live to the TRUE METAL

  40. K.... N....

    Me to. We can give our souls to him together.

  41. G.... ....

    Most Metal, is garbage; as most music is in general: that makes the best stand on its own. Being Metal or not has little to do with it -- I don't say I like some Genre or another; there's no way to express King Diamond's superior art by generalizing it along with what is mostly, crap. Especially slipknot; if you like slipknot you are either a preteen or an invalid. Who cares if it's metal or not?

  42. o.... ....

    That guy is a clown....

  43. M.... W....

    The guitar work on this album is phenomenal.

  44. k.... t....

    slipknot is not metal end of story.....if you like them you must be 14-18 years old.bow before the king

  45. M.... J....

    Slipknot is Alternative Rap LOL

  46. b.... 1....

    SEND HER FAR AWAY......FAR AWAY FROM HERE

  47. N.... ....

    you're both idiots for arguing about this shit, both bands are metal, just different sub-genres of metal, and trolls are complete dicks, if you see someone trying to start something by randomly talking shit on a video, ignore them, they want a response, now just enjoy your music, whatever it may be.

  48. s.... ....

    The butthurt flows through you.

  49. s.... ....

    *you're

  50. s.... ....

    Successful troll was successful.

  51. s.... ....

    So he ripped off Cooper then, and yes I can. Here's the story, once upon a time there was a guy who ripped off Alice Cooper but with shitter music. He had a small number of obsessed fangirls who eventually saw sense, and he died in the gutter reeking of piss. The end.

  52. s.... ....

    At least they don't spend all day frowning in gay make up ripping off kiss.

  53. s.... ....

    No I don't cos that's a dumb fucking idea for albums.

  54. R.... W....

    has a nice egyptian feel to the guitars

  55. R.... ....

    admitted, they don`t beat King Diamond technically, true, but i jsut liek the music.
    Music ain`t a competition and isn`t some holy war, but ENTERTAINMENT. so if it ENTERTAINS me, i like it.

    Does that make sense? hopefully it did.

  56. M.... ....

    slipknot sucks donkey balls,thats whats wrong with them.they are a bunch of idiots that smash trashcans together,and they are as technical as lady gaga. you can't even attempt to compare them to king diamond in a million years.only to think someone would compare that poser idiot jordison with mikey dee makes me want to go back in time and abort them from their mother's womb. thats about it :)

  57. s.... ....

    More like a queen. the amount of make up it wears. terrible music too.

  58. E.... ....

    dont you ever speak about KING you little shit

  59. M.... P....

    Y tu sabias pedazo de mierda q la leyenda del metal judas priest su vocalista es gay mejor quedate callado si le dices gay a diamond ignorante de mierda. vete a escuxar slipknot menuda banda de mierda.

  60. b.... ....

    auahahahaha slipknot ahahahahah.... KING DIAMOND RULEZ !

  61. T.... C....

    Slipknot song's are full of growl. Show me growl in "True Metal" like Manowar, Iron Maiden etc. Everyone singer has his own unique style of singing, KD has style based on screams and voice modulation from high to deep, sometimes this thing sounds veeery scary... But Slipknot is also awesome band, and I listen to them also :). Now "True" Metal doesn't exists, there are only different metal genres.

  62. s.... ....

    Well King Diamond came along and made the shittest metal shit. Worse than Black Veil Brides.

  63. J.... ....

    Calling something "gay" only indicates your lack of producing constructive feedback.

    It makes me sad to see so many people calling different kinds of metal "gay" (or something else) nowadays. What ever happened to "even at its shittest, metal still rules"?

  64. s.... ....

    Slipknot are true metal. \m/ They don't have gay high pitched vocals like king diamond

  65. T.... H....

    The best King diamond album ever. This entire song is masterpiece and I like the part at 3:22 until the end! DANCE!!!! (3:42)

  66. G.... P....

    @MrMetalhead6 Slipknot is gay as shit.

  67. b.... 1....

    send her far away...far away from here....i love king s voice...

  68. b.... ....

    Its very funny to see how all the 14 year old kid's are Slipknot fan, ALWAYS. Poor forgotten souls, they think that all of us say that Slipknot its the most extreme thing never existed! Hahahahahahahaha

  69. x.... ....

    lol low lifes

  70. M.... ....

    @fishermanryan

    I'm with you there, best part of this album. The Puppet Master was one of the best.

  71. D.... ....

    King Diamond is just epic!! .. i mean... seriously... the way he makes every album into a story is just amazing!! ... you just gotta love this dude...

  72. O.... ....

    You people are really stupid where do u get slipknot out of king diamond? i grown up listening to both and love them both but.. seriously king diamond has nothing to do with them there genre def doesnt there members play in Death, and Mercyful Fate and are way more metal.

  73. I.... J....

    @Peuranpuolikas the curse is on my top 5 list of King Diamond & Mercyful Fate songs

  74. P.... ....

    @MrGimpurin Indeed. The Curse is one of the best songs ever.

  75. I.... J....

    @Peuranpuolikas i think "The Eye" is the best album he has done, but hey.... they are all great.

  76. T.... ....

    Lol I love how I'm a fan of slipknot and king diamond. The arguments are fun to read.

  77. S.... ....

    "Tonight, you will dance for me Puppet Girl. Tonight, no strings attached!"
    "But I can't, never ever did I dance, oh, I don't have a chance"
    "Dance!"

    My favorite part of this album.

  78. P.... ....

    One of KD`s finest, coming from a fan.

  79. R.... H....

    @crystallakekiller13 Well that was random as all hell. It's original but random to the point where you almost make no sense at all. But seriously, are you like 10 years old? It may be original, but it doesn't change the fact that you are acting like an angry kid at a school.

  80. R.... H....

    @crystallakekiller13 Real original. The least you could do is try and use that brain that you SHOULD have. I doubt you do have one, but either way, at least try man. It's really pathetic when you are trying to insult me and yet you can't because you are using generic insults used by every other 10 year old child on the internet. Grow up dude and then try insulting me, maybe you will figure out some half decent insults by then.

  81. R.... H....

    @crystallakekiller13 I must say, arguing with someone on Youtube is not quite as fun as a Forum site that allows me to use my reaction pictures from my amazingly huge reaction folder. It is rather boring, and you're not even any fun anymore. We were having a fairly intelligent debate over metal, and then you had to go and turn it into shit. You're just a boring person without originality or the ability to think for yourself. Geez, I'm glad that I am smart enough to figure this out on my own.

  82. G.... ....

    3:05 Epicness button.

  83. R.... H....

    @crystallakekiller13 I've heard the Grateful Dead, but from what I've heard of them they don't seem like they can classify as Punk or Metal, let alone Thrash Metal. What I've heard from them make them sound like a retro rock/pop band. I don't know, perhaps I didn't hear their good shit and only skimmed the surface. But either way I'm not too impressed by them. Anywho, what does that have to do with what we were talking about? It just seems like you can't rebuttal and are changing the subject....

  84. R.... H....

    @crystallakekiller13 Cannibal Corpse and Obituary are Death Metal bands you dumb-ass, Frank Sinatra I never really cared for. For me it's Metal, Hard Rock or Classical. I don't know why you're so fucking stupid when it comes to Music placement, but obviously you need to relearn how the music industry and the rest of the world works.

  85. R.... H....

    @crystallakekiller13 I've heard Ministry and Fear Factory. I've heard OF Godflesh, but never actually heard them. Either way you try to twist it Slipknot is STILL Industrial metal. Maybe Industrial with Thrash overtones.

    If you want to hear REAL Industrial then try listening to Verta Ja Lihaa or U.S.C.H by Turmion Katilot. They know what they're doing. Don't try acting like you know what you're talking about when you haven't even bothered to break the language barrier dumb-ass.

  86. R.... H....

    @crystallakekiller13 Slipknot would be Industrial Metal, Slipknot isn't good, but it's not bad either. They have a couple of good songs like Duality, Wait and Bleed, and Vermilion, but after that it's just random industrial crap. But in the long run they are way inferior to bands like King, Rammstein, Judas Priest, etc. etc.

  87. M.... S....

    @RoyLikesKMFDM FUCK SLIPKNOT

  88. R.... H....

    @crystallakekiller13 Slipknot isn't poser, they're industrial metal, now I'm not a HUGE fan of Slipknot, but they do have a couple of songs that are good.

  89. N.... ....

    "Tonight you will dance for me, puppet girl! But tonight... no strings attached!" -- Thumbs up!

  90. S.... ....

    @LilleDiamant Best song on the second best King album ever.
