The Portrait song lyrics


[King Diamond]

'My mother was obsessed by evil jealousy
she didn't 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

'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, trace of crime'

'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 life again'
oh molly

That night I made the portrait speak in evil tongue
'you're 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

'I've gotta se ma'
