The Lady Lies

Ooh, the man steps out in the moonlight

At the sound of a scream from below

He thinks he is a warrior, so he picks up his sword and goes

From the mouth of the monster, he rescues the maiden fair

But we know she's a demon come to lure him to demon's lair

Through restless foliage and tall trees, he leads

To a house in a clearing, a place in her fear she calls home

Come with me, I need you

I fear the dark and I live all alone

I'll give you wine and food too

And something special after if you like

And though his body bids him to enter in with her

There was something in her manner that his mind could not ignore

Also it is whispered in the kingdom far and wide

To beware, a little cottage in the forest in a glade

For who knows what magic takes place in his world?

So he just thanks her kindly, preparing to go on his way

Come with me, I need you

I fear the dark and I live all alone

I'll give you wine and food too

And something special after if you like

Come to my garden

Taste the fruits and the spices of love

You can't resist me

I'm the kind that your dreams tell you of

So glad you could make it

We had everything arranged

So glad you saw fit to pay a call

Some men never listen, and others never learn

But why this man did as he did? Only he will ever know

He knew he was walking into a waiting trap

Neatly set up for him with a bait so richly wrapped

So he went inside there to take on what he found

But he never escaped them, for who can escape what he desires?

Come with me, I need you

And I fear the dark and I live all alone

I'll give you wine and food too

And something special after if you like
