with endless lavish foods . . . she rapes them of their blood.

Additional lyrics
2. All day long the virgins sit
and feast on endless meals
The Countess Bath'ry sips her wine
Her skin doth crack and peel
But when night time fills the air
One must pay the price
The Countess takes her midnight bath
With blood that once gave life
3. Living in her self-styled hell
The Countess dressed in black
Life so distant death so near
No blood to turn thy bath
The castle walls are closing in
She's crippled now with age
She welcomes death with open arms
The reaper turns the page
---------
I am . . .
M C Vic - "That which does not kill me better run like hell."
