Let Me Tell You A Tale

from Lift The Black Veil by The Peach Tree

/

lyrics

let me tell you a tale, about a boy ever so frail
who fell in love with a girl, and into the depths of darkness fell
for flaunt his pride did he so much, that he betrayed his lovers trust
and she, a queen of darkness being, buried him one fateful evening
but tortured was he in dead sleep, his past undoings a prison keep
within which his restless soul pleaded mercy from belfry tolls

and so in guise of kindness came, a so called end to all his pain
the gods saw fit to let him rise, and from his grave his bones were pried
casting off the years of decay, his body now could hold dear sway
with any girl who glanced at him, yet still he bore the mark of sin
and thus the gods, as punishment, left him with thirst for nourishment
that could only be obtained from warm wet blood in human veins
