Part Iv Zillah And The Crone - Lyrics by Ancient


Lyrics
Of all my children, none so beloved   my sweet Zillah, none so desired   her tender skin, her blood so saccharine   I was mesmerized by her enchanting eyes.   But she would turn from me, she had no love to me   nothing I'd provide could keep her satisfied   so I took to roam the wilderness alone   Amid the whispering trees, a wrinkled crone I did see. Crone: "
My spell can make thee win her heart Drink of my blood then we'll start." Caine: "
Her (foul) blood I drank for many nights and Zillah indeed became my wife." Crone: "
The elixir hast bound thee My serving thrall thou always be." Caine: "
But after a Year (and a day) her grasp (on me) had gone With a stake through the heart, I left her to the dawn."
