"Died of Fright" Lyrics

Rainy night with thunder lightning
in gloomy English mansion - frightening
occultist woman newly dead
dressed for burial and still in bed
her eyes now closed and yet she scowls
the ghastly windy storm still howls

Behold her ring - in haste you steal it
because in her grave she won't need it
Pry it off her dead cold hands
the empty finger a fly now lands
a glass of water tipped and spilled
the woman's eyes are open still

Now back at your darkened flat
Water drips from this and that
Your fear growls cold and soon you'll know
what HELL is like for those who go
Upon you now the undead witch
a gliding grinning wrathful lich

Don't steal from the DEAD!
For they'll come back and take it from you
Choke yourself to DEATH!
It's the last thing you will ever do.

Dead this morning , ring is gone
your concierge guilty looking on
shock & horror in your eyes
your empty finger now lands a fly
a fateful death in ghastly night
policeman says you "died of fright".

Don't steal from the DEAD!
For they'll come back and take it from you
Choke yourself to DEATH!
It's the last thing you will ever do.
