- Additional lyrics
-
- 2. All day long the virgins sit
- and feast on endless meals
- The Countess Bath'ry sips her wine
- Her skin doth crack and peel
- But when night time fills the air
- One must pay the price
- The Countess takes her midnight bath
- With blood that once gave life
-
- 3. Living in her self-styled hell
- The Countess dressed in black
- Life so distant death so near
- No blood to turn thy bath
- The castle walls are closing in
- She's crippled now with age
- She welcomes death with open arms
- The reaper turns the page
-
- ---------
- I am . . .
- M C Vic - "That which does not kill me better run like hell."
