King Diamond is the band that King Diamond formed after the split up of Mercyful Fate - following the departure of Hank Sherman. He was joined by most members of the then defunct Mercyful Fate. The style has lost most of its proto-black metal style and became a progressive metal band. The Satanic focus was replaced by a focus on horror stories. Apart from two albums, each of the albums contained a story told throughout the songs; some stories span more than one album.

Bye Bye Missy Lyrics
King Diamond
I stumbled out of grandmas room,
Down the stairs and out of the house
Once outside I felt my mind begin to
Fight a battle for control
With the tea pot broken I kind of
Realized
That their power was less here,
Here on the outside
I fell to my knees in haziness
And I looked in through the window
To the cellar
Things were moving down there,
They were searching for something
And they really found it,
The big axe was flying
Flying out through the cellar door
Up the stairs to the kitchen...
Then I passed out
The next thing I remember seeing was
The smoke coming from the chimney
I soon realized the smoke I saw was
Actually... oh no!
All there was left of missy and her
Dress, poor little girl
The spell was broken, I really felt the
Change
As my mind and body became one
Again
The moon was alive with its silvery
Eye
Staring right into my evil heart
I went back to see if my grandma
Was still there
Waiting for me in the attic... oh I hate
That bitch
