This Place Is Terrible Lyrics by King Diamond

This Place Is Terrible Lyrics

    I'm back in the church... night has taken over
    I'm breathing hard... in the dark
    Through the hole in the floor, i hear the winds from the catacomb
    Here it comes, out of the hole, a magnificent light
    Blinding the entire church
    Contorted faces and bodies too, powerful entity floating high above
    I was no more scared of dying, but i was terrified of knowing the truth
    I don't want to, but i have to... i have to know who you are
    "you have entered where no human must go
    You have seen the lie... the lie about the cross"
    I am many... we are one, the highest
    You'll never know why we kept him here
    The one who did not die on the cross
    Could it be we kept him away from god... so that he may never walk
    Never walk the earth again?"
    "or could it be that we've kept him... safe from you
    So you may never try to do again what... you did back then?
    I guess it all depends on who you are
    I guess it all depends on who you really are"
    "god and satan are just puppets on our strings
    Creating conflicts in your little human minds, keeping us alive
    It doesn't matter who or what you think we are
    It only matters that you know we are
    God, the devil, good and evil, we're all that and so much more"
    "live this life the best you can, and leave the rest to us"
    But i can't... i won't be one that feeds an unknown god
    Show to mankind that you really exist
    And then explain to us the meaning of chaos
    Give us reason to persist, to go on living through this hell on earth
    All i want is peace of mind from all you non existing gods
    I bet that not even you will ever understand the truth
    Cause you are nothing but a puppet on even higher strings
    Your unholy eyes, i wanna sew them shut
    Oh you meaningless little god, and so i choose death over you
    Up up the grey cold stairs, up into the tower of hell
    With a rope in my hand, i'm searching for the unknown land
    Father of the universe, here i come.. this place is terrible
