King Diamond - Black Horsemen

Abigail (1987) lyrics below

So, there they stood at the top of the stairs....
Miriam in the mood . . . Jonathan was scared.
Gazing into the dark, Jonathan saw this glow....
For a second, he turned his back,
And she was there like a ghost.
She pushed him hard and clean
. . . to the bottom of the stairs.
"Now we're finally alone, Miriam.
Abigail is here to stay!"
The birth of Abigail would soon be realized.
The second coming of a devil in disguise.
And the moon did not shine....
It was darker than ever before.
On this sacred night
The soul of Miriam was crying out in pain.
Remembering the day . . . Arrival in the rain . . .
The pain of labour was so strong that Miriam died.
Her final seeing was a pair of yellow eyes.
You can still hear her screaming
If you're walking the stairs in July....
Riding from beyond,
The seven Horsemen would arrive before the dawn.
Servants of the Count when Abigail was born the first time.
Oh, no!
They found her in the sarcophagus.
Baby Abigail was eating . . . oh, I cannot tell you . . . .
"Take her . . . and bring her
To the chapel in the forest.
So go now . . . The ceremony!
And the coffin's waiting...."
The Black Horsemen
That's the end of another lullaby....
Time has come for me to say goodnight....

One of the best albums ever written.. Definatly!!

[EnterTheTurmoil]

@azrael666ethereal yea for sure!

[Szederp]

You just cannot listen to the ending solo enough.

[TheTurtleVillage]

@Szederp So true, man.

[adiprai]

@Szederp That's cool. To each their own! I love the The Eye as well, but I have to admit I wish they had used a real drummer instead of a drum machine on that album. Especially after a legend like Mikkey Dee. 

[Szederp]

@adiprai This may be herecy, but I have to tell you, when it comes to old style King Diamond (Before Graveyard) Abigail is my least favourite. The Eye contains much progressive material and in my opinion the very best guitar solog. It's nuts!

[adiprai]

@Szederp Agree! This one and another one in Satan's Fall are my favorite solos by Michael Denner. Even though Andy LaRoque is very technical in comparison, they really complemented each other really well on this album. Everything on this album is pure magic.

[MrDureault]

Like It more now then when it first came out with says a lot Mercyful Fate is my Favorite band....

[MrDemenseed]
