Gingerbread Coffin
RASPUTINA
We found an old doll that was out in the grass,
She had special powers, we said a Black Mass.
We sat in a circle all holding hands. The
Doll-bed held together with old rubberbands.
She'll rise,
she'll rise.
Chorus:
Lay her down in her gingerbread coffin.
She's so pretty all dressed up in white.
Lay her down in her gingerbread coffin.
When we need her, she'll rise to the light.
(It's a flickering, beautiful sight.)
We looked down at the ground and into her eyes.
Passed around an old teacup filled up with dead flies.
(Surprise, surprise!)
Were brought but not used a collection of knives.
We'll remember this moment for all of our lives.
She'll rise,
she'll rise.

The song tells of a puppet doll being brought to life. The song's storyline seems like something people did during the Victorian era when we had the "Victorian Grimoire" (witchcraft and romantic ideas intermixing with one another) I believe witches or superstitious people back the Victorian era used puppet dolls a lot and red tea leaves. I'm not sure if this song is about a particular event or person, so buzz me if you know.
