Bluebeard

Lyrics

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"
 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
 Chain 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 take 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
