The Jonah

(music & lyrics: king diamond)



"after 7 years on a dusty shelf

The book seemed unreal

For 7 years in an ancient rhyme

The fate of a girl was sealed"



In the attic i was searching by the moonlight

What would i find

Old and grey from dust i felt it staring back

Oh that book



Yellow pages caught my eyes, so unreal

Through the dust of time

In an ancient rhyme the truth had been sealed

On a broken shelf it would all be revealed

It had been there for years

And no one ever knew



Now break the spell and free the girl

From the candle of fate

Look at the flame and say the rhyme

The end is near, no more pain, ah you're free

Solo: mike - andy

As the candle melts away the spirit of the candle girl

Emerges from the flame, she doesn't seem the sme

With a smile on her face she starts to speak

"hear my story:"
