The Lady Lies

[Verse 1]
Ooh, the man steps out in the moonlight, at the sound of a scream from below
He thinks he is a warrior so he picks up his sword and goes
From the mouth of the monster, he rescues the maiden fair
But we know she's a demon, come to lure him to the demon's lair

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Through restless foliage and tall trees he leads
To a house in a clearing, a place in her fear she calls home

[Chorus]
"Come with me, I need you
I fear the dark and I live all alone
I'll give you wine and food too
And something special after, if you like"

[Verse 2]
And though his body bids him to enter in with her
There was something in her manner that his mind could not ignore
Also, it is whispered in the kingdom far and wide
To beware, a little cottage in the forest in a glade

[Pre-Chorus 2]
For who knows what magic takes place in his world?
So he just thanks her kindly, preparing to go on his way

[Chorus]
"Come with me, I need you
I fear the dark and I live all alone
I'll give you wine and food too
And something special after if you like"

[Bridge]
"Come to my garden
Taste the fruits and the spices of love
You can't resist me
I'm the kind that your dreams tell you of"

[Instrumental Break 2:40-3:46]

[Bridge]
"So glad you could make it, we had everything arranged
So glad you saw fit to pay a call"

[Verse 3]
Some men never listen, and others never learn
But why this man did as he did, only he will ever know
He knew he was walking into a waiting trap
Neatly set up for him with a bait so richly wrapped

[Pre-Chorus 3]
So he went inside there to take on what he found
But he never escaped them, for who can escape what he desires?

[Chorus]
"Come with me, I need you
I fear the dark and I live all alone
I'll give you wine and food too
And something special after, if you like"
