Since the band's inception, there have been over fifteen musicians in and out of King Diamond, with the only two mainstays being vocalist King Diamond and guitarist Andy LaRocque. In 1987 the band released their second studio release Abigail (their first concept album). Throughout the 1980s, King Diamond released a total of four studio albums.

Eye Of The Witch
King Diamond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Black clouds in the sky dancing before my eyes
I'm losing track of time
It's the eye of the witch
It's the eye of the witch
Thunder bring the rain, penetrate my brain
losing track of time
It's the eye of the witch
The eye..the eye..the eye
Another glass of wine to heat blood mine
And as I look inside the necklace called 'The Eye'
I'm going back in time
It's the eye of the witch
It's the eye of the witch
The eye... the eye... the eye
The lyrics of King Diamond's song Eye Of The Witch speak about a person's intense experience during a cold summer night where they saw black clouds and lost track of time. They are tormented by thunder and rain that "penetrate" the person's brain and make them feel different from what they used to be. They feel that something special has come over them, and they are not the same person anymore. The person then drinks more wine, and as they look into a necklace called "The Eye," it takes them back in time. The lyrics emphasize the power contained within the Witch's Eye, which enables the person to travel back in time.
The "Eye of the Witch" is a symbol of the witch's mystical abilities and the power that people believe magic wields. The lyrics convey a sense of mystery and fear that supernatural powers hold over us. The stormy night and the black clouds represent the overwhelming power that magic holds, and the necklace symbolizes a key to unlock that power. The Eye of the Witch is a representation of the person's desire to uncover the mysteries of witchcraft, and once they do, they will never be the same again.

I think to be honest mate their concept albums were created FROM movies lol . What subjects have they touched on that are new . I think they have shown you more what others have put in their minds more than unique ideas they want to put in yours . Good writing but I agree , spoiled by the singing . If he hadn't exaggerated his voice the way he did , they would be much more popular than they were
