Genesis - The Lady Lies Lyrics
The man steps out in the moonlightAt the sound of a scream from below.He thinks he is a warriorSo he picks up his sword and goes.From the mouth of the monsterHe rescues the maiden fair.But we know shes a demonCome to lure him to demons lair.Through restless foliage and tall trees he leadsTo a house in a clearing, a place in her fear she calls home.Come with me, I need you,I fear the dark and I live all alone.Ill give you wine and food tooAnd something special after if you like.And though his body bids himTo enter in with her,There was something in her mannerThat his mind could not ignore.Also it is whisperedIn the kingdom far and wide,To beware a little cottageIn the forest in a glade.For who knows what magic takes place in his world?So he just thanks her kindly preparing to go on his way.Come with me, I need you,I fear the dark and I live all alone.Ill give you wine and food tooAnd something special after if you like.Come to my garden,Taste the fruits and the spices of love.You cant resist me,Im the kind that your dreams tell you of.So glad you could make itWe had everything arranged.So glad you saw fit to pay a call.Some men never listen,And others never learn,But why this man did as he didOnly he will ever know.He knew he was walkingInto a waiting trap,Neatly set up for himWith a bait so richly wrapped.So he went inside there to take on what he foundBut he never escaped them, for who can escape what he desires?Come with me, I need you,I fear the dark and I live all alone.Ill give you wine and food tooAnd something special after if you like.
