The Mysterious Vanishing Of The Foremar Family

I know when I'm gone the full tragic truth will also die And there fore their being at last will have been but a lie? If no-one is left to remember their sorrowful story? When nobody tells the sad tale? No-one's there to be sorry Imagine a night, stygian black while you're cosy and warm Imagine the howling of some ineluctable storm So if you are ready and I've got your outright attention I'm ready to unveil the story of old Foremar Mansion Where a family lived long ago – but what makes it so weird Is not that they lived there but rather that they disappeared There wasn't a soul from the great hall to the smallest pantry The great Foremar manor henceforward forever stood empty They lived in house built on dreams and built if burnt bricks Tatted up, impressed by themselves as they swaggered Gave a home to many good friends and to some rascal tricks Sirens lured, could it be that they followed and staggered Did they care for anyone else except for themselves? So why should anyone care for them now Empty rooms, not very much left on the old rotten shelves They ended in smoke but you cannot say now But they all are long since gone It's a riddle what went wrong Scarcely anyone knows that they ever lied here Nor do we know why they disappeared Why they all have long since gone Maybe there lived too many monsters under their stairs We don't know if they all were led or were banished Did they see stranger eyes in the night that gave them a stare? Did they feel just head over heals as they vanished No-one knows if they were driven or if they were led Dusty rooms, no more servants to clear away plates Did they cry or did they move on without any regrets No farewells, no more talks and no boring debates But they all are long since gone It's a riddle what went wrong Scarcely anyone knows that they ever lived here Nor do we know why they disappeared Why they all have long since gone The only things found were remains Of the poor chained unwanted cousin He had been slightly insane From below stairs there was babbling and buzzing He just didn't suit, couldn't fit So he was locked up in the cellar Displeasing he sat in the pit Until he passed, poor little fella But they all are long since gone It's a riddle what went wrong Scarcely anyone knows that they ever lived here Nor do we know why they disappeared Why they all have long since gone …??? But they all are long since gone It's a riddle what went wrong But they all are long since gone It's a riddle what went wrong Scarcely anyone knows that they ever lived here Nor do we know why they disappeared Why they all have long since gone But they all have long since gone It's a riddle what went wrong So what, drove them away, no-one ever can say And the only thing we know today Is that they didn't stay
