Countess Bathory

(álbum: Shadows In The Deep - 1992)

Welcoming the virgins fair
To live a noble life
In the castle known to all
The Count's infernal wife
She invites the peasants with
Endless lavish foods
But, when evening spreads it wings
She rapes them of their blood

Countess Bathory

All day long the virgins sit
And feast on endless meals
The Countless laughs and sips her wine
Her skin doth crack and peel
But when nighttime fills the air
One must pay the price
The Countess takes her midnight bath
With blood that once gave life

Living in her self styled Hell
The Countess dressed in black
Life's so distant death's so near
No blood to turn time back
The castle walls are closing in
She's crippled now with age
Welcomes death with open arms
The reaper turns the page
