Tea - King Diamond

On the following friday as I turned out the light

Grandma' came and knocked at My door

«Wake up King, wake up My dear

I am gonna show You about the house of Amon»

It is time for tea, it is time again

«Even Your mother is present

We made her sleep in My rocking chair»

At first I felt really scared but there was no reason to

As I saw the knife sneaking out from

Grandmother’s dress

Then it cut a tiny wound in My mother’s little hand

It is time for tea, it is time again

Guitar solo: Pete

Blood was running into the tea pot, then I heard «THEM» laugh

«A bit of this in a cup of tea, is what it takes to set „THEM“ free

You will hear „THEM“ telling stories from far beyond this earth»

What I saw and what I heard made me want to stay and learn

I really hope this dream will never end

It’s hard to describe the kind of

Feeling that went on in My mind

A paradise

Guitar solo: Pete, Guitar solo: Andy

Hearing «THEIR» stories and feeling «THEIR» warmth

We laughed with tears in our eyes

From the first cup of tea, to the last drop of blood

Nothing seemed to matter at all anymore

My Mother?

She didn’t exist to me

Oh I felt so heavenly

It is time for tea, it is time again
