Cryptopsy - The Golden Square Mile lyrics

Prominent local aristocrats Painted red throughout history A fortune born out of sugar Led the family to the social summit The daughter of Montreal's fourth mayor Laid silently at rest in her bed As her son of twenty four years Studied mercilessly in the adjacent room As night settled darkness fell upon the Square Mile Mansion Delirious thanks to her pain medication Ada Maria Mill Repath Unlocked the top drawer of her nightstand And removed from it a fevered solution But her flimsy faint grip allowed it to fall Clattering to the floor Once Clifford's focus was interrupted He headed out in search of the racket But when he entered his Mother's room It was already splattered with her blood brains and bones The aspiring med student resolved to seal his own fortune as well The pressures of life had completely crippled him Three days later they were already both six feet below Rotting slowly as the populous' interest Took flight as the rumours grew so did the mystery of it all Sadly Sherbrooke Street was never quite the same The Golden Square Mile was forever tainted The gloom that engulfed their mansion Still remains present today
