Lyrics
Count de La'Fey uncovered his cheating wife
Nine months of loving and sharing
Oh, it was a bastard child
How could he have been so blind?
"No bastard baby will inherit what's mine."
Another one of her affairs had left him in despair
So he pushed her down the stairs, to die
"No!" she cried
In 1777, on the 7th day of July
The Countess broke her neck and the embryo came out dead
Then he burned his beloved wife and the embryo, he gave a name
"Abigail, you must rest in shame."
Rest in shame
Obsessed (Obsessed)
With a strange idea
He wanted to mummify the girl for the future to find
And he did
So he pushed her down the stairs, to die
"No!" she cried
In 1777, on the 7th day of July
