King Diamond
The 7th Day Of July 1777
[Acoustic Guitar Intro]

[Verse 1]
Count de LaFey uncovered his cheating wife
9 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
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
Obsessed
With a strange idea
He wanted to mummify
The girl for the future to find
And he did

[Solo]

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