about

A tale loosely based on the discovery of a medieval abbot at Furness Abbey.

Written and recorded by Vincent Teetsov
Backing vocals: Laani Heinar

lyrics

Digging up the resting dead isn't what I aim to do
I've got my own conundrums without disturbing muddy tombs
This project's required
Doesn't care if I'm tired
Then I see his smiling chompers, now I know I'm through.

Take the motorway back, hope that rigging stays
No more rounded exits, missing bones won't earn my pay
Can't work like this no more, back's never felt more sore
Then I saw him climbing out, still he haunts my days

Nothing so dull as finding a skull in any other place
But if you stick around and don't make sound he'll greet you face to face

Never thought I'd be so grateful to see ghouls from creepy fables
Made me scream and then a chuckle
Like some perished distant uncle
In the Vale of Deadly Nightshade, finally found a friend who stayed
Company in utmost stealth, hide him on the store room shelf

Phone is ringing off the hook, all the papers want to know
Museums knocking down the door, want his golden staff to show
They can take all the jewellery, just as long as they leave me
But to rob me of family, how could they go so low?

I've set up several cameras all around to keep a watch
A chair beneath the handle and a lock so I won't botch
This once in a lifetime companion is now mine
And if I take all his magic, I'll bring my power up a notch

Nothing so dull as finding a skull in any other place
But if you stick around and don't make sound he'll greet you face to face

Never thought I'd be so grateful to see ghouls from creepy fables
Made me scream and then a chuckle
Like some perished distant uncle
In the Vale of Deadly Nightshade, finally found a friend who stayed
Company in utmost stealth, hide him on the store room shelf
