[Acoustic Guitar Intro]

[Verse 1]
Count de La'Fey 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."
Another one of her affairs had left him in despair

[Chorus]
So he pushed her down the stairs, to die
"No!" she cried
In 1777, on the 7th day of July

[Verse 2]
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

[Guitar Solo: Andy LaRocque]

[Verse 3]
Obsessed (Obsessed)
With a strange idea
He wanted to mummify the girl for the future to find
And he did
[Guitar Solo: Michael Denner]

[Chorus]
So he pushed her down the stairs, to die
"No!" she cried
In 1777, on the 7th day of July
