lyrics

A solemn Phantom, draped and hooded, coming, like a mist on the ground, towards him.
The Phantom slowly, gravely, silently approached.
For in the very air through which this sprit moved it seemed to scatter gloom and mystery.

What has he done with his money?
It’s likely to be a very cheap funeral.
Old Scratch has got his own at last, hey?
I wish it were a heavier judgement, and it should have been.

Open the bundle, Joe.

A pale light rising in the outer air, fell straight upon the bed;
And on it, plundered and bereft, unwatched, unwept, uncared for, was the body of this man.
Oh cold, cold, rigid, dreadful Death, set up thine altar here,
And dress it with such terrors as thou hast at thy command: for this is thy dominion!
