The Lady Lies

Introduction: While neither Simutronics nor Therrilliar's player are fond of song lyrics from real-life songs, this song was so well-suited to the genre and so little known by most people that I included it in Therrilliar's reperatoire. The song was written by Genesis from the album "And Then There Were Three".

 

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 demon's lair

Through restless foliage and tall trees she leads
to 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.
I'll give you wine and food too
and something special after if you like.'

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

For who knows what magic takes place in his land?
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.
I'll give you wine and food too
and something special after if you like.

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.'

'So glad you can make it
we had everything arranged
so glad you saw fit to pay a call.'

Some men never listen
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

So he went inside there to take on what he found
but 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.
I'll give you wine and food too
and something special after if you like.'

 

Script [This song is not an original work. It is by the group Genesis from their album after Peter Gabriel left called "Then There Were Three". I include it in my reperatoire because it fits so well with DR. Do not credit Therrilliar with this song. Aphil Kolinda is, of course, a twist on the name Phil Collins]
