Bluebeard
The maiden said I'll marry you I'll be yours and I'll be true I'll consent to be your bride All my days, at your side That is how I'll live my life A maiden no more Her mother and her sister warned The man, he was not natural born His eyes were black and his beard was blue But the maiden saw her own love true There was nothing they could do Maiden no more The man gave her a ring of keys Professed his love down on his knees Said everything I have is free But this one door and this one key He said, don't you look in there Or I'll kill you cold and dead, I swear Gave her such a weight to bear Then the man, he rode away And the bride went wild night and day Only to find she wanted more She had the key, she found the door SongtexteChain and blood was on the floor A stain that was not there before Maiden no more Maiden no more Maiden no more Maiden no more The man came back to her life To cut her with the cold grey knife To lay her there with all the rest Blood and bones and faded dress To cast her to the deep darkness But the man with his intentions stated Found he'd underestimated The forces of the sea and the sand The light and the life of the land All rose up with a hundred hands All rose up and killed that man All rose up with a hundred hands All rose up and killed that man Maiden no more Maiden no more Maiden no more Maiden no more Aus Songtexte Mania
