King Diamond - Follow The Wolf from the 2000 album "House Of God"
The morning slowly came, my life about to end
Then the wind would change, all but one had left
The angelic wolf had stayed, without a word she said
"Follow me", follow the wolf
And so i followed the wolf, up the wooded mountain side
Close to the top... she suddenly stopped
Sun to the East, man and beast
Just two silhouettes... in a landscape never to forget
Like dark decaying teeth, I saw the village beneath
A few and distant roads all leading away from here
Nobody in the streets... decay
I must follow the wolf again, I must follow her till the end
The end
The Wolf had turned around, facing higher ground
And there it was... The House of God
In awe I looked as time had stopped
"Follow me!"
I had never seen a church like this before
"This Place is Terrible" inscribed above the door
Like dark decaying teeth, I saw the church within
A few distant thoughts, inviting me in to sin
Nobody in the church... decay
Shrouded in a gloomy light, as if my final night
I wonder if God was ever here
Or did he turn away in fear, did he turn away in fear?

This is one of those albums where you never click to the next track. This past decade IMO was one of king's best. Vocally he was on it. The tours were great. Like fine wine, King just keeps getting better. I hope that he seriously takes better care of himself and hits the road a few more times.

@thebabysittermurders I can't remember skipping a single track on ANY King album. If you do, you miss great musicianship and a piece of the story. Diamond's albums are best enjoyed as a whole, though some tracks do stand on their own due to sheer brilliance.
