Lyrics: King Diamond. Black Horsemen (7:39).

So, there they stood at the top of the stairs
Miriam in the mood, Jonathan was scared
Gazing into the dark, Jonathan saw the star
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
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 labor was so strong that Miriam died
The 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

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"
