When He Died

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] When he died He somehow left behind strange symbols on the floor beneath his corpse Investigators said the wood was scorched, when he died [Chorus] When 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 blood [Verse 3] When 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 played [Chorus] When 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 [Verse 4] When he died (On a dark and stormy night) A nearby shed caught fire (It simply caught alight) And when they cleared the charred wood from the ground Inside they found a painting of a clown (A creepy painting of a clown) He'd painted it he was just a child But scrawled upon the back was exactly when he died [Outro] When he died, when he died, when he died, when he died
