Read the news today,
Glum reports came my way.
Some famous people had died,
Touched many deep inside.
Families are bereaved,
This I cannot believe.
There’s something going on,
Something tells me something’s wrong.

You might think I made a joke,
There’s a link between these folks.
They’ve been had by a cabal
From some unknown locale.
Who knows what their evil plot is?
I cannot resolve that quiz.
Soon we’ll be burnt in the fire
Of suspicious funeral pyre.

[tempo shift]

Well-known folks struck down,
Buried in the ground.
Dead on nearby dates,
Gone on through the gates.

This cannot be real,
Something’s wrong, I feel!
Some sec is involved -
Mystery I can’t solve.

Suspicious funerals [x4]

[guitar solo]

As you hear my words,
You might think I’m absurd.
But there is a cult
Planning evil results.
First they’ll get the well-known folks,
Then they’ll make the rest croak
Except those who comply,
Those who don’t will surely die.
