When He Died

When he died

Turns out he left behind a mansion full of other people's skulls

The odd thing is, they never found his own, when he died

When he died

He somehow left behind strange symbols on the floor beneath his corpse

Investigators said the wood was scorched, when he diedWhen he died they found so many scorpions inside his lungs

When he died the statues of his missing children cried

What was later found to be his bloodWhen he died (On a dark and stormy night)

They telephoned his wife (Who reacted with delight)

But gradually her voice began to fade to nothing

And the Laughing Record played

The Laughing Record playedWhen he died

They found a message etched into his spine

That said when he died an endless age of untold nightmares would be nigh

And the blood would make the seas run red
