Bittersweet Lyrics

An anxious wife as thin as a straw

Was driven by hunger and pain

She whined the whole day

As their supplies slipped away

The famine has gnawed on their flesh

Once again, the wife sent her husband

To crave out for something to throw in the pan

No bird was chirping

They stared from the edge of the plate

We have dreamed of meat

So warm and sweet

Feast without sorrow

A meal so fine to eat

The fraud complete

Embrace comes closer

There was nothing to get in their dale

So he climbed uphill until dusk

As he resigned, he saw in the distance

A hung mans body aged in the wind

A brief hesitation then loosen the knife from his sheath

We have dreamed of meat

So warm and sweet

feast without sorrow

A meal so fine to eat

The fraud complete

Embrace comes closer

He sliced some ribs off

From this nightly buffet

So with a haunted surprise

He left this unholy place

On the next dinner the table full set

No meat left on a single cooked bone

In the deep night the wife was awaken

By painful howling on the skirts of the wood

Runaway man, facing her fears, she went alone

We have dreamed of meat

So warm and sweet

feast without sorrow

A meal so fine to eat

The fraud complete

Embrace comes closer

You ate the meat

The taste bittersweet

Now you feel much better

The fraud is complete

You ate my meat

So warm and so sweet

A pact with the devil

You will taste his heat
