Like A Virgin Sacrified Lyrics
Like a virgin sacrified Like a goddess she arrived Guarded by the sphinx Valley of the kings Like a virgin sacrified River deep mountain high Like an angels passing by Sacred crocodile

CHORUS Late that evening the Lady Madeline
again succumbed to the power
of her dark afflictions.
Her brother and her friend sat by her
and Montresor, although familiar with many
of the gross and wonderful
phenomena of morbid flesh
marvelled at the depth and completeness of her coma.
Life so exactly mirroring death

Country Air Lyrics
Get a breath of that country air Breathe the beauty of it everywhere Get a look at that clear blue sky Come on Get a breath of that country air Breathe the beauty of it everywhere Mother Natu
e presence of a Spirit hiding within.Get a breath of that country air Breathe the beauty of it everywhere Get a look at that clear blue sky Come on Get a breath of that country air Breathe the beauty of it everywhere Mother Natu
In the cold hours before dawn they broke their vigil
and Montresor retired to a restless sleep
only to be woken as a grey light spread from the east

SCHWARZWALD Lyrics

HERBALIST fate is cruel, fate is hard.
Why must innocence be punished?

Why must innocence be punished?
Was her soul too good to last?
Now the punishment is finished
And the fever... the fever called 'Living'...
that fever's conquered at last.
USHER Will you do something for me?
Gangster Love Lyrics
Stand out Something about the way you do it So bottle it up that way you lose it fall out Big sound, dreamin' you up I'm feeling so erratic You're holding me down, I'm set to automatic So loud Bridg
MONTRESOR With all my heartStand out Something about the way you do it So bottle it up that way you lose it fall out Big sound, dreamin' you up I'm feeling so erratic You're holding me down, I'm set to automatic So loud Bridg
USHER I wish my sister to be entombed
in one of the vaults beneath the House.
The family burial ground is remote,
to lead her cortege there would
require a strength of will I do not command.
Will you help me bear her?
MONTRESOR Of course, of course I will...
USHER Come then, before I fully realise my loss.
