[00:00.56]Artist:king diamond [00:02.52]Songs Title:catacomb [00:04.83] [00:44.55]Down into the dark I go, armed with just a candle and then my soul [00:53.29]Cryptic messages written on the floor [00:56.79] [00:57.30]Rats are nibbling at my feet, I send one off to nevermore [01:01.80]Too much darkness, spiders on my eyes [01:05.86]Webs are hanging from my thighs, the fatter ones must die [01:09.67] [01:10.54]I see shadows walking straight and tall [01:14.11] [01:14.80]I dont know how they move, dancing on the walls [01:18.54] [01:19.54]Presence of fear, a presence so near [01:23.04]I wonder what could be so powerful beyond the dark [01:27.67] [01:28.98]Human bones... in little chambers all along the narrow halls [01:36.35] [01:36.92]Catacomb, death over life... catacomb, am I here to die? [01:46.60] [01:48.48]I see a light, I push some bones aside [01:55.80] [02:11.54]Down into the dark I go, another chamber, a chamber with a glow [02:20.55]Could this be a doorway to another world? [02:24.99]Or darkness playing tricks, with my little mind? [02:29.30]The virgin mary is standing tall [02:33.17]A full size figure carved in wood up against the wall [02:36.86] [02:37.67]Her face is peeling from all the years gone by [02:41.79]Is it just a statue, or is it what Im looking for? [02:46.42]I break her face and see another one instead [02:50.55]The mummys face appears as the bandages they fall [02:54.42] [02:55.04]Dried out face with hate upon me gaze [02:59.73]How grotesque... the mummy wears a crown of thorns [03:04.05]From the empty sockets where its eyes should be [03:08.42]An entity of light is pouring out towards me [03:12.78]And then the sound... jesus christ,what have they done to you? [03:21.53] [03:39.07]Im running for my life, Im running from the night [03:43.19]But its so hard to breathe, the stench down here is much too much [03:47.50]Satan help me, help me god [03:49.57]Help me anyone, anyone who hears my cry of fear [03:56.28]Cold winds from far beyond the dark [03:59.84] [04:00.53]Chasing through the catacomb and breathing down my neck [04:05.06]Human bones... in little chambers all along the narrow halls [04:13.44] [04:13.99]Catacomb, death over life... catacomb, am I here to die? [04:23.12] [04:29.18]I know Im here to die
