Karliene - Blood Countess lyrics

Báthory, Báthory, Báthory

Allow me to introduce myself
Though I fear you've heard my name
That you've heard the story (heard the story)
Of Countess Báthory (of Countess Báthory)

History is told by the victors
Heroic warriors and mad kings
Will you hear my story?
(Will you hear my story?)
From the lips of Báthory?
(the lips of Báthory?)

They call me: 'Bloodsucking demon'
'Queen of hell' 'Sadistic killer'
'A monster tale'

Bathing in the blood of virgins
(To keep me beautiful)
Drinking the blood of virgins
(To keep me youthful)

The Blood Countess who is she really?
Who is she really?

The Blood Countess who is she really?
Erzsébet Báthory

Báthory, Báthory, Báthory

I was very wealthy and powerful
A widow with political rivals
Keen to destroy me (keen to destroy me)
And take my property (take my property)

My plea was never offered
All my confessors were all tortured
Oh how they destroyed me
(how they destroyed me)
For my property (for my property)

They bricked me up, bricked me up
Shut me up, shut me up
Bricked me up, bricked me up
Shut me up, shut me up

And told a story
Of that bitch called Báthory

'Bloodsucking demon' 'Queen of hell'
'Sadistic killer' 'A monster tale'

Bathing in the blood of virgins
(To keep me beautiful)
Drinking the blood of virgins
(To keep me youthful)

The Blood Countess who is she really?
Who is she really?

The Blood Countess who is she really?
Erzsébet Báthory

Báthory, Báthory, Báthory
