Slippery Stairs Lyrics - Abigail Ii: The Revenge - King Diamond

"Wake up Abigail", midday, Henry was at her door 

The Count would not rise 'til the afternoon and lunch was for two 

So they talked about Miriam and then Abigail said: 

"What about Little One?" 

Henry froze: "Oh, you mean our ghost?" 

"Downstairs on the lowest floor 

That's where you will find THE DOOR 

Beyond which there ware slippery stairs 

Leading down to the crypt 

And Little One sleeps there during the day 

But at night she'll rise, searching for her Mom 

Don't you ever go there at night, it's a sinister place 

There's so much pain, so much death, so much nothingness" 

[Solo: Andy] 

When night time came on the second day and dinner it was done 

Jonathan's headache it was gone 

"Miriam please take my hand", then his mood really changed 

"Time is right to produce an heir" 

[Solo: Mike] 

Playing along with his eerie game she followed him up the stairs 

Up to a room where love they would share 

To a room that smelled as if Miriam was still in there 

[Solo: Mike] 

Jonathan was a hideous sight 

So Abigail she hilled the candlelight 

What was to come, should have never been done 

She was blocking her mind from his awful thing 

In her mind his moaning became 

Nothing but falling on slippery stairs 

Falling and crying, crawling and dying 

At the end of the stairs 

Her eyes turned black in disgust 

Hating him more with every thrust 

And then it was over before it begun 

He was done... oh what a man 

The only time he would call her MINE
