“An Execution” is inspired by the notorious Hungarian Countess Elizabeth Báthory, who was accused of torturing and killing anywhere from 65 to 650 young woman between 1585 and 1609.
Fans have speculated that the lyrics are based on an excerpt from the book Dracula was a Woman: In Search of the Bloo...
This is what she saw
The unsuspecting horse was held fast to the ground
Whilst some soldiers slit open its belly
The guilty gypsy was shoved inside the horse's belly
With only his head protruding from the dying beast
Another soldier then sewed up the wound with the culprit inside
Condemned to die, along with the putrefying animal, screaming
The young countess looked up, barely restraining a giggle
An Execution was written by Budgie (Drummer) & Steven Severin & Siouxsie.
An Execution was produced by Siouxsie and the Banshees.
