Arrival Lyrics
"That must be it!"
Through the summer rain of 1845
The coach had finally arrived.
To the valley where the crossroads meet below,
And where all darkness seems to grow.
People blame it on the Hill....
The hill where no one dares to go....
The Mansion...where no one dares to go.
The coach had stopped, and from the window you could see
Seven horsemen in the night.
Miriam Natias and Jonathan la Fey
Saw the magic in their eyes.
They were in for a surprise....
The darkness would soon be complete.
A horseman came forth from the dark....
"We know you've come to inherit what's yours...The Mansion.
Take our advise and go back on this night.
If you refuse 18 will become 9...Oh No!"
Oh 18 is 9!
Jonathan laughed and said, "Get out of my way.
I don't believe a word you say."
The seven horsemen disappeared into the night.
"Someday you'll need our help, my friend...."
I think poor Jonathan was scared....
18 is actually 9...It stuck in his mind....
Through the summer rain of 1845
The coach had finally arrived.
To the valley where the crossroads meet below,
And where all darkness seems to grow.
People blame it on the Hill....
The hill where no one dares to go....
The Mansion...where no one dares to go.
The coach had stopped, and from the window you could see
Seven horsemen in the night.

Saw the magic in their eyes.

King Diamond fails at math. 18 = / = 9.
lolz. Good song.
Awesome song with great lyrics... can anyone explain to me what the 18 is 9 part means?
As far as I understand, it means that Miriam (18 years old) is possessed by Abigail (9 months).
From the CovenWorldWide.org
This one is quite simple. Miriam LaFey is 18 years old. She gets pregnant which is 9 months. So 18 = 9 means the 18 year old girl becomes 9 months pregnant. (Jonathan = 27)
Nine is a satanic or magical number. if you take the table of 9, the results (whenever counted together) always give 9. 1 x 9 = 9 2 x 9 = 18 (1+8=9) 3 x 9 = 27 (2+7=9) and so on. See the picture?
King uses this number alot in his lyrics. Whenever there are dates, ages or any kind of numbers mentioned, they always equal 9 or a multiplicity of that number.
great song. i think 1845 also has that trippy 9 thing. 1 +8 = 9. 4+5 = 9.
Best opening to Abigail
