As I wandered through darkest dale A blood-red weeping victim of betrayal Sighs all scars be gone the countess young As I wandered through darkest dale A blood-red weeping victim of betrayal Sighs all scars be gone the countess young And then she died within my arms
I took a look and saw real doom An old dark lock in the light of moon Bathory of Ecsed, owner of estate An old cruel bitch fraught with hate
A frisson thrilled my mind A remote cry filled the sky A trace of death – in the night Fresh blood soaks this site
She was Lizzy Bathory, mistress of doom The Blood countess the shadow on the moon She meant real harm for lass and femme Exhausted them all 640 plus 10
Chorus: A cry in the dark A murder apart A spawn of a morbid brain Elizabeth is her name A cry in the dark A murder apart A spawn of a morbid brain Bathory is her name
All I know is blind greed All I knew was pure greed I’m unable to forgo Taking bliss is all I know 50 years in the bloom of life Godlike unshattered, I’m the light My skin so frail, my eyes so clear Yet a plague alike I spread the fear
Chorus
All I want is time, gained out of blood Come and hear my cue, I want you
The aroma of blood A blood lake apart It drives me insane Elisabeth is my name
