The 7th Day of July 1777 Lyrics

Album: Abigail

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.

So he pushed her down the stairs to die,

"No", she cried in 1777, on the 7th 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!"

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 1777, on the 7th Day of July.
