The 7th Day of July 1777

Lyrics for The 7th Day of July 1777

Count de LaFey uncovered his cheating wife Nine months of loving and sharing Oh, it was a bastard child How could he have been so blind? "No... bastard baby Will inherit what's mine!" (mine) Another one of her affairs Had left him in despair So he pushed her down the stairs to die "No!" she cried In seventeen seventy seven On the seventh day of july The countess broke her neck And the embryo came out dead Then he burned his beloved wife And the embryo he gave a name "Abigail, you must rest in shame! Rest in shame!" (shame, shame, shame...) Obsessed! With a strange idea He wanted to mummify The girl for the future to find And he did So he pushed her down the stairs to die "No!" she cried In seventeen seventy seven On the seventh day of july
