Lyrics

   White on white translucent black capes
   Back on the rack
   Bela Lugosi's dead
   The bats have left the bell tower
   The victims have been bled
   Red velvet lines the black box
   Bela Lugosi's dead
   Undead undead undead
   The virginal brides file past his tomb
   Strewn with time's dead flowers
   Bereft in deathly bloom
   Alone in a darkened room
   The Count
   Bela Logosi's dead
   Undead undead undead
