The Harkencraft & the Witch of Marbeled Halls Lyrics


(Narrating:)

This maid of the King

Walks down them stairs

Winding down to those dark damp lairs

With him - The King tucked in, sleeping

She lifts her skirt, then tiptoes by those

Flickering shadows

Dancing from her hand held light

And there behind them cold black bars

Sits One whom she feels drawn towards

This Fairy Queen caught

By the meadows and brought here...

(Mildred of Kroue:)

Ohh... She truly is a blessing in disguise

(And soon revenge will be mine)

(Narrating:)

Yet the lack of sympathy within

Proves where her loyalty lay

With a filthy deity

Locked to the damp walls of the lair

(it does not)

How does one really address

Such an enemy anyway?

A foe by blood red unknowingly

To the femme now entered here

To think the demoness, and noone less

That but one of her own blood is here

She unties her tounge and speaks:

(Mildred of Kroue:)

"Do not fear

welcome my dear"

Demonessa here in Hell

Who you are I know far to well

(Narrating:)

The goddess with only weakness left

Does raise her head to face her guest

(Mildred of Kroue:)

Yet a stranger in thine eyes am I

And stranger still I can't see why

How One who steals her sisters tears

The same path walk after thirty years

Yes I am of your own blood

And I know by heart what you have done

I am but one spawned 'tween worlds

Come here to mock with words

(...And still my thirst)

Each moment passing I do fear

Is a loss for retribution here

Now that thine grace and divinity

Be shunned by those who prayed to thee

One could believe thine be the fate

'Pon stake be burned as witch of late

Yet I could never let to pass

A moment like this to avenge the past

But now to satiate your thirst for knowledge

And to tell the tale

Of a mother nailed 'tween worlds

Who gave her every inch

To a man who gave back nothing

And a theft of tears by her sister

Here in my hands shivering in fear

But three times two the way I see

Half of them belongs to me

Though I am in truth of your blood

And this the craft is both of ours to wield

To offer a truce means nothing to me

Now that the true enemy

Apparently folds to my every whim

(...As I pull his strings)

So tell me what's left to do

Than me killing you now?

"No

I won't spare you now"

And then the day of her fate then came

- My mother

As the priest revealed his face

The true face of a man

- My father who one day would take

The life of his woodwife

When his faith was at stake

Before the killing he did bide his time

Bitterly pondering pon the worth

Of having a wife unchristianized

By the back of hand he beat his wife

For years before he took her life

And all this came to pass for your betrayal

For without three tears

She could do nothing but stay

With her immortal essence kept out of grasp

She took me as her adept and I learned

All of what I am, (who you are)

And what I was supposed to do

...Should I meet you!

"Vengeance will be ours

By blade our honour must give us justice"

My mother married him

The mortal man of the cross

And I alone was the child she loved

...And then lost

For Man is truly dark at heart

Ever has it been that Man can grasp

Beyond his hate - his poisoned mind

Forever to live believing himself benine

Man is truly dark at heart

Ever to grasp

Beyond his hate

And for that he pays

But now it's time for you to die too!

To appease me

And my mother

God rest her soul

"...I speak the truth

This is the hour of no truce!"

WHEN GODS OF OLD

BE GODS IN KIN

THEN GODS IN CHAINS

ATONED SOON BE THINE SINS

(Narrating:)

Thus spake this maid made Queen

Her words meant to seal her "lords" fate

Redeemed be another wrong doing

Now at last made right

This time 'tis so by stealing the foes life
