Elisabeth Báthory

[Part I: Mirror, Mirror]

Verse 1:

Mirror can you tell me how to stay forever young?
Let me know the secret,
I will hold my twisted tongue,
Please protect my beauty,
Velvet skin so pure and white,
Hear my name resounding like a hymn at dead of night.
(Elizabeth...)

Verse 2:

Once I struck a servant,
She's a virgin, free from sin,
Drops of blood caress me and refine my aging skin,
Could this be the answer, uncorrupted Carmine red?
Voices keep resounding in my dazed, bewildered head...

Verse 3:

Have I found myself eternity?
Someone has heard my prayers,
Now I'll become divine!
Have I found myself divinity?
I'm no...
