The face could laugh and cry,
It was his devil twin,
And at night she spoke to him,
Things heard only in hell,
But they were impossible to separate,
Chained together for life,
Finally the bell tolled his doom,
He took a suite of rooms,
And hung himself and her from the balcony irons,
Some still believe he was freed from her,
But I knew her too well...
I say she drove him to suicide,
And took poor Edward to hell.
