Mother S Getting Weaker (Reissue) - King Diamond

Tonight would be

The last night that

We had our tea

That bloody tea

Which sent us into ecstasy

Yesterday mother complained

Feelin' dizzy

All in pain

Mother's gettin' weaker

Looking paler day by day

As morning came

She could not make

It out of bed

And grandma's spell

Was gettin' straight

Into her head

Not a single word

She didn't seem to be alive

Getting weaker

Looking paler day by day

Then Missy came in and

She led me by the hand

I didn't want to go

Oh but I should have known

Mother was barely conscious

Why should I care

Just lookin' forward

To the next ordeal

I think I heard

My sister begging

Me to stay

She gave me the phone

So I could call

Someone for help

I simply let go

Of her hand

Then I cut the wire

Missy was cryin'

As I left them both behind

And mother's getting weaker

Missy shouted at my back

I hate you
