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
