Ever think this song is a tribute to Metallica? Metallica have covered many King Diamond/Mercyful Fate songs and are known to be huge fans of them, so possibly the title and the subject matter of this song is a tribute to Metallica and their song Welcome Home (Sanitarium), which has a very similar name and is also about an asylum.
Not to mention, King Diamond has an album called The Puppet Master which could be a reference to Metallica's Master of Puppets.

Coincidence? I think not.

Um, no. They're self contained stories. They have nothing to do with Metallica.

"Welcome Home" is simply about the Grandmother Coming Home. And "Puppet Master" is the name of the main Antagonist from that album.
