Letra de Sardonicus

There was a night Death grinned with delight At the ghoulish deed of a fool To an old grave Where his father is lain He sought a fortune untold Fear turns to fright A cold hellish sight A sardonic smile ear to ear Featured paralyzed a grimacing skull His face is now grotesque Scared from the sight of the decaying corpse Once his father, profaned All the mirrors have been removed Empty frames hang around the room No reflections to behold A twisted mind, a restless soul He learned to leave the dead alone To search for a cure The methods unsure With blood sucking leaches he tested On young peasant girls from the village below He could not get results requested A doctor was summoned From beyond the valley A master with needles and toxins Upon his arrival he was to be greeted With chains, shackles and irons Demanding a potion to cure the affliction The doctor was forced to comply All the mirrors have been removed Empty frames hang around the room No reflections to behold A twisted mind, a restless soul He learned to leave the dead alone Months of trial and error Finally showed success The mocking sardonic grin Gone and won't be missed Now with the doctor's task complete His captor sets him free Unwary of a side effect No one could forsee Jaws locked tight Can't eat or drink No more can he see Left alone to his own Self-inflicted doom.
