When He Died

[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
