Text: King Diamond. The Best Of King Diamond. Tea.

On the following Friday as I turned out the light
Grandma' came and knocked at my door
Wake up king, wake up my dear
I am gonna show you about the house of Amon
Ooh it is time for tea, ooh it's time again

Even Your mother is present
We made her sleep in my rocking chair
At first I felt really scared but there was no reason to
As I saw the knife sneaking out from grandmother's dress
Then it cut a tiny wound in my mother's little hand
Ooh it is time for tea, ooh it is time again

Blood was running into the tea pot,
Then I heard them laugh
A bit of this in a cup of tea, is what it
Takes to set them free

You will hear them telling stories
From far beyond this earth
What I saw and what I heard
Made me want to stay and learn

I really hope this dream will never end
It's hard to describe the kind of feeling
That went on in my mind a paradise

Hearing their stories and feeling their warmth
We laughed with tears in our eyes
From the first cup of tea, to the last drop of blood
Nothing seemed to matter at all anymore
My Mother but she didn't exist to me
Oh I felt so heavenly
Ooh it is time for tea, ooh it is time again
