Lyrics

Uncle John isn't in bed He seems to have been moved Aunt Mary nailed the basement shut Keeping him from view And Uncle John is on the floor With a hammer through his lung My aunt is sleeping peacefully But the night has just begun Life returns! Life returns! Life returns! Life returns! Superstition intervenes His hands begin to move Removes the weapon from his flesh His savage gaping wound All that I remember hearing Is the sound of breaking brones Dragging himself up the stairs And gnawing through the door Life returns! Life returns! Life returns! Life returns! Aunt Mary's on the stairs Thick mats of blood and hair "But Uncle John you're dead" That's what aunt Mary said Uncle John isn't in bed He seems to have been moved Aunt Mary nailed the basement shut Keeping him from view And Uncle John is on the floor With a hammer through his lung My aunt is sleeping peacefully But the night has just begun Life returns! Life returns! Life returns! Life returns!
