John Budrevo - The House Of The Seven Gables

A curse is a curse
How can it be undone?
Each day it gets worse
This house, it shuns the sun
The lady by birth
Is now a broken spinster
She still walks the earth
She scowls, she has no fun
Old aristocracy is bound to fade away
This noble family is now facing decay
Here comes a younger maid to open up their eyes
And here's the avenger, a painter in disguise
In the house of the seven gables
The house of the seven gables
The weirdest of ancient fables
Called the house of the seven gables
A curse is a curse
You'll choke on your own blood
No cents in your purse
You can't escape the flood
A grain of the truth
Not easy to ignore
Now nothing seems smooth
The light is seen no more
Old aristocracy is bound to fade away
This noble family is now facing decay
Why did they choose to build their house
On this here ground?
Where peace of mind and inner calm
Could not be found
In the house of the seven gables
The house of the seven gables
It's the weirdest of ancient fables
Called the house of the seven gables
In the house of the seven gables
The house of the seven gables
It's the weirdest of ancient fables
Called the house of the seven gables
