  • First album of King Diamonds solo band: "FATAL PORTRAIT" (1986)
    Lyrics:
    [From "The Book of Jonah"]
    "7 Years Have Gone, It Can No Longer Be Left Undone
    The Candle Must Be Burn Again, And Pain
    Must Follow the Unholy Flame
    So Burn...Burn...Burn
    And Free the Spirit From Its Chain"
    Here I AM Blinded Again By That Flame
    In Every Candle That I Burn, Burn !
    I See That Same Face Return, It Returns
    Eyes In Pain, My Little Queen Are You A Dream
    In Every Candle That I Burn, Burn !
    I See That Same Face Return, It Returns
    [Solo: Mike]
    Time Has Come For You To Tell The Truth, What Shall I Do
    Tears Are Running From Her Eyes
    If She Could Only Tell Me Why, Tell Me Why
    [Solo: Mike]
    The Jonah...The Jonah
    In Twisted Key She Speaks A Word To Me And Then I See
    Her Face Falling Apart
    The Word "Jonah" Is Her Mark, She's Branded
    [Solo: Andy]
    BAND:
    King Diamond - Lead & backing vocals
    Andy LaRocque - Guitars
    Michael Denner - Guitars
    Timi Hansen - Bass
    Mikkey Dee - Drums

      Krystal Harwood
      He's not in the actual band, he's a very good friend of them, and was the one who designed and created the intro to this number, as a guest work. I do believe his name is in the credits of the CD, but I'm not sure.
