King Diamond - Tea Lyrics
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"
"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
It is time for tea, it is time again
"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? she didn't exist to me,
Oh I felt so heavenly
It is time for tea, it is time again

It makes me think of my grandma.....
makes me think of a dream I had after watching bates motel. Dylan had called me to visit norman because he was acting very strange. he greeted me in mother's shawl and invited me in for some tea, which was actually blood (surprise!) from all of his victims' throats he slashed. I took one sip and I turned into a female vampire! then I woke up...GRANDmother! what have you dooone??? lol

i remember my childhood..my favourite them is still in my heart and no 1 for ever!
Do you fools not know what this song is talking about? Demon possession, bloodletting and consuming human blood? And yes when I younger I listened to this album blinded to the TRUE MEANING!!
heavy metal rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!
king diamond rules!!!!!!!!!!!
killer album a masterpiece
killer song
My favorite song off of the album. Hands down
The harmonized duet at the end is my favorite part of the song. I can't tell how many times I've skipped from and to it when listening to this song.
Guitar duet? It’s fantastic!
And me too! Exactly the same! My favorite part of the song!!
Having Tea with King is like having Tea with Lucifer himself!!!!!
Had no idea Maajin Buu had a heavy metal band
The house of amon cool thing there bring in this song i love it.
Grandma's favorite album
wow he an awful lot about his grandma im starting to suspect foul play
sings sorry
creepiest album ever recorded
Tea time again
my dad started listening to King when he was 13, guess im continuing the tradition!
I appear to be in the minority of people who think that vocals are the weakest part of this band, sometimes even unbearably bad, but the instrumental part is absolutely fucking incredible in every song, shame...
long live the king
THAT RIFFS
buy the CD is worth every penny. simply magnificent!
It is time for tea
ahhh I wore out my first tape and Sony audio reverse player to king diomond/ them from West coast sound.and now I'm as old as grandma.still drinking my cup of tea EEE.🎸
Never too old bro. Just summon some demons lol.
i take coffee, no tea hehehe only when i´m very sick
What's up with him talking so much about "grandma"?
+Choctawnic lmao sorry couldnt tell, is that your real pic?? Anyways, go with Dont Break the Oath and Melissa
+Choctawnic As far as King Diamond solo goes try Abigail
@I AM Joseph McCarthy No not my real pic... Is that yours? Yeah...ok, are Don't Break The Oath and Melissa, albums? I did hear the song Abigail..
+Choctawnic Lol no, ol Joe is dead hahahaha. I think its stupid to use your real pic on this site. Anyways, yeah, check out Dont Break the Oath and Melissa from Mercyful Fate. Theyre considered among the greatest Metal albums of all time
@I AM Joseph McCarthy Yeah I agree! Ok, I'll check them out for sure!
just fuckin awesome
It's awesome that as I'm listening to this song that there is a red moon tonight!
How many other metal singers outside the prog metal scene write concept albums like them.
James Hill There is W.A.S.P’s album “The Crimson Idol” but I see your point.
Man that little part at 2:03 is fucking beautiful
uma das melhores dele!!
Verdade
is time for tea! ohhhhhh
Every time someone asks me if I want tea, I think of this song. Of course, most today don't know this song. Only us insiders are privy to such beauty. People thought this band was too evil and too hard rock, but actually there is a lot of musicality and melodic beauty to their music. The 80s was the height of metal mastery. It's a lost art now, even with the bands that were great then. Metallica today is not the Metallica of the early and mid 80s. And today they are more popular. Shame. Now they sound like old men trying to be macho. Gone is the natural beauty of their vocals and their melodies. Happens, I guess, in all genres, when bands get old and conservative and get a bigger following for it.
You're stuck in a bubble. Theres tons of good music today, its just not the only music in the genre anymore, and you have to find it. Metal got big, and now you have to sort the good from the shit.
I agree dude, I’m only 19 and I lovvvveee 70s 80s and 90s Metal, Metal today is fucking boring to me, all this core crap and repetitive breakdowns and annoying vocals, this music right here is fucking mastery and king diamond is one of the best story tellers in metal history
Harmon_artist yes I agree in that, new wave of thrash revival is really good, toxic holocaust, havok, warbringer, skeletonwitch, evile etc
Harmon_artist trivium is the only metalcore band I like, avenged sevenfold is meh
Harmon_artist trivium have a lot of thrash metal and black metal influences in their music that’s why I like them, it’s not just straight up metalcore with them annoying vocals, but that’s the only metalcore band I actually like, infact the only core genre I like is grindcore, bands like early carcass, napalm death, and terrorizer.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Not a grandma .....yet, but I think I will play this when that day comes and they come to visit. I haven't heard this song since I was 19 in the military, brings back great memories. It...is time for tea!
one of the greatest, most underrated metal albums of all time.
Musically, yes. But Abigail has a far better story.
@Load Game agreed..
Just say it already, "Them" and "Abigail " are about musically equal, & Abigail did have a better story,,,,, can't wait to see him on tour,
It definitely is one of the greatest to me!
cup of blood...../sick feeling trx....cool satanik anthem...(guitarsolos!!!!!!!)
The perfect song for a cup a tea.
Those two guitarist shred the fuck outa this album<> RESPECT!
"A tiny wound" Priceless
KD is my hero.
Then I saw a tiny WOOOUND in my mothers little hand
love this song all hail the king
Damn straight!
2 great guitarists on this cd, Pete Blakk, and Andy La Rocque my favorite King Diamond cd still!
mark davidson the eye is kings best album , them is great to
Yep, Andy is an idol of mine. Also loved his work in Death.
It's always (Green) Tea time around here...! Love this tune...!
Love the King!!
This should be the theme song for the TEA Party!!! LOL!!! ;)
ohhohhohoh it is time for mushroom tea
King diamond que paso? antes eras chevere (en los 80's)
I want to play this at my next tea time on Sunday! :-) Don't know if the in-laws would care much for it though....
lol. ha. ha ha. 666
I always thought that the "time for tea" was a metaphor for heroin use. I guess it isn't that deep of a song.
yeah bc heroin is so much deeper than your grandma coming back from the dead and killing your family members
+Brandon Starr LAWL
ohh yeah heroin..so deep 😂 fuck off
