The Lady Lies Lyrics

    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,
    I fear the dark and i live all alone.
    I'll give you wine and food too
    And something special after if you like."
