They
They keep on keeping on
Telling us the story of their lives
Warriors tall
They sleep the sleep of death
Dreaming of fantasy lands
Maidens all
They run amok
Through forests of trees
Never knowing whom they are
This and more
Telling us the story of their lives
Warriors tall
They sleep the sleep of death
Dreaming of fantasy lands
Maidens all
They run amok
Through forests of trees
Never knowing whom they are
This and more
Death rode
Into the darkness of the night
Crept many monsters bold
Hit they did on all around
Villages and towns
Roads with bloody corpses strewn
None alive could be seen
Death rode
He jogged on his one eyed steed
Its teeth like daggers were
Sharp pointed
Crept many monsters bold

Youth Returns
The Countess once so beautiful
Now aged lined
A young lover she does take
And for him alone does break
With all humanity
Now aged lined
A young lover she does take
And for him alone does break
With all humanity
Find she does that blood when rubbed
Upon her skin
Makes young again
Sheened dewy soft
Thus ventures she into a madness
Virgin's blood to drink and rub
Over body face and hair
Shining again
Without compere is she
Makes young again
Sheened dewy soft
Thus ventures she into a madness
Virgin's blood to drink and rub
Over body face and hair
Shining again
Without compere is she
The Cage
Her thirst for blood stronger it grows
A cage is built with dagger points
To pierce the skin
From which does flow
A bloody stream
Into this cage her victims are hung
Hundreds of them one by one
And all around the castle walls
People stare and shout
Murderess!
Her atrocities are known by now
Parents with their daughters flee
The hungry maw of the lady fair
But in all in vain
Find them she does
A cage is built with dagger points
To pierce the skin
From which does flow
A bloody stream
Into this cage her victims are hung
Hundreds of them one by one
And all around the castle walls
People stare and shout
Murderess!
Her atrocities are known by now
Parents with their daughters flee
The hungry maw of the lady fair
But in all in vain
Find them she does
The End
Taken the fair Countess by the king
And walled up in a chamber small
To live without light rest of her life
But in the end blood wins again for her
She bites her wrist so slowly slow
Her blood runs forth till she is dead
Buried without ceremony she is
And walled up in a chamber small
To live without light rest of her life
But in the end blood wins again for her
She bites her wrist so slowly slow
Her blood runs forth till she is dead
Buried without ceremony she is
