from the other side

Singer:king diamond

i don't know if i'm dead or alive

all i know is i'm running out of time

oh

i'm leaving my body. oh

leaving it behind

from the other side

looking down i know that it's me

from the other side

looking down it's the devil i see

someone down there is saving my life

i see a tear being shed by the eye

oh

drifting much higher. oh

into the light

from the other side

looking down i know that it's me

from the other side

looking down it's the devil i see

i see the strangest faces

faces that i've never seen before

they see through empty spaces

spaces that do not exist no more

i swear by the moon and the devil

i'll be their guardian if they will be mine

there's a demon with red glowing eyes

he's invading the body that was mine

oh

is there still time. oh

time to return

from the other side

looking down i know that it's me

from the other side

looking down it's the devil i see

i guess i wasn't ready yet

cause someone there is calling me back from the dead

demon

demon

are you there

demon

demon

leave my lair

from the other side

looking down i know that it's me

from the other side

looking down it's the devil i see

wake up!
