The Bloody Countess Lyrics

He was born into one of the oldest

And wealthy families in Transylvania

His parents as counts and among

The family there were

Cardinals princes, and

His cousin a Polish king

Erzebeth Bathory

The bloody countess

Practicing

Black magic

Used blood from

Young girls

To bathe in his blood

Practicing torture in the

Basements

Of the castle was the

First person

In using the iron maiden

All started when

Her husband the black knight

Was killed in battle

Thereupon made of the castle

All his family and the maids were

Taken to the basement

Of the castle to give

Them their punishment

Erzebeth Bathory

The bloody countess

In the castle they found

Numerous girls

Tortured in different

Bleeding states

And a lot of corpses

In the surroundings

Erzsébet Báthory was a cruel

Obsessed serial killer

For beauty which used

The blood of his young servants

To stay young in a

Time when a woman

Forty four years approaching

Dangerously old

Erzebeth Bathory

The bloody countess

Isabel's

Diary told day by day

Its victims with every

Little detail

Up to a total of

Six hundred

And twelve young women

Tortured and

Murdered over six years

The law prevented a noblewoman

From being prosecuted

She was locked in her castle

After introducing her into her

Chambers the masons sealed

The doors and windows leaving

Only a small hole to pass

The food she was sentenced to

Life in solitary confinement
