Tea Cakes

(Album: Carnival Of Killers - 2020)

Leonarda Cianciulli an Italian Lady
Was born out of rape and disliked by her family
She tried to kill herself twice at a young age
She married a different man than Mom planned and she was enraged
She said her Mother put a curse on her family
She went to a Fortune Teller and the lady did agree
The Fortune Teller said the curse on you is very bad
That it would kill all the kid's that she ever had

Leonarda come and have your fortune read by me
I'll read your palm and tarot cards and show your destiny
And tell you if your life will be filled with tragedy
Leonarda come and have your fortune read by me

She had 17 children but 13 of them died
And would do anything to keep the other 4 alive
Her favorite Son was drafted in the Army
She thought that human sacrifice would bring him safety
Leonarda was a Fortune Teller of her own
That sacrificed 3 customers who came to her home
She turned their bodies into soap and cakes made for tea
Then gave it to some other visiting ladies

Would you like to have your fortune read by me
I will kill you with an axe and chop you up indeed
Then I'll turn your body into soap and cakes for tea
Would you like to come and have your fortune read by me

Would you like to have your fortune read by me
I will show you everything about your destiny
Would you like some tea cakes with a cup of tea
And some handmade soap, a special gift to you from me
Would you like to come and have your fortune read by me
