Died of fright [?x]
- Very strange and difficult to explain, really
- Is it, George?
Stan Goodfellow encounters him in the woods
Thinks he might raise the alarm and kills him to keep him quiet
- No, Tom, this man died recently
This morning, long after Stanley Goodfellow was arrested
It's the manner of his death
I've heard of it and never seen it
Parasympathetic rebound
It happens when someone is so terrified
That the whole metabolic system reacts and tries to calm itself down
The problem is, it can make too good a job of it
And the heart simply stops beating
I don't know what it was he encountered in Monks Barton Woods
Frankly, I hope I never find out
Parasympathetic rebound [2x]
Poor creatures
Why must we destroy you? I'll tell you why
Order is the tide of creation
But yours is a species that worships the one over the many
You glorify your intelligence
Because it allows you to believe anything
That you have a destiny, that you have a right
That you have a cause, that you are special
That you are great, but in truth
Parasympathetic rebound
