Elvenking - Swallowtail lyrics

"Brimstone eyes she hath
Black in colour looking sad
The hair like straw, her skin so raw
A debauchery decadent"
Grandmother used to tell
"beware do not go near the hut - I say!"
It was believed to be the home of a witch
- a house left in decay

They speakest alright
'Cause I went one night
And saw the old house ivy all around
Suddenly I was bound and fell in darkness
They speakest alright
'Cause I went one night
And saw the old house ivy all around
Suddenly I was bound and fell in darkness
People brave enough went
And faced the things they said
They never came back, neither to be
Sorry for their misbelieve
Only pieces of their bodies hanging up
On the strangest trees they found
Forming shapes that may have linked
To whom the parts belonged
In a whole lifetime

They speakest alright
'Cause I went one night
And saw the old house ivy all around
Suddenly I was bound and fell in darkness

In her arms you'll crackle like fire
In the night you'll see her Swallowtail
When she's near you'll hear hell's choirs
Run fast as you can
Right in the arms of the unknown
In her arms you'll crackle like fire
In the night you'll see her Swallowtail
When she's near you'll hear hell's choirs
Run fast as you can
Right in the arms of the unknown

Swallowtail, Swallowtail
They told me that your evil
Would prevail on me
But now I know you are not what they say
Swallowtail, Swallowtail
Your beauty comes like sunshine after rain
So warm
An unexpected spark to wash away the dark
She was supposed to be so old
Deceitful, not deceivable
Death she'd exhale from her never
Ending rings hanging on her nose

They speakest alright
'Cause I went one night
And saw the old house butterflies around
Suddenly I was bound and fell in beauty

In her arms you'll crackle like fire
In the night you'll see her Swallowtail
When she's near you'll hear hell's choirs
Run fast as you can
Right in the arms of the unknown

All the things they told me - liars!
All because she is too beautiful
I know I won't go back 'cause
At the end I'll be a butterfly

Swallowtail, Swallowtail
They told me that your evil
Would prevail on me
But now I know you are not what they say
Swallowtail, Swallowtail
Your beauty comes like sunshine after rain
So warm
An unexpected spark to wash away the dark
