Dark Portrait

Her portrait hung there

Her portrait was there in the gallery
Suspended on arcade wall for all eyes to see next to the Iron Maiden Diana's hunt woven tapestry
The flesh tones were fat with the light the Portrait was absorbing

Dark was her sin
Rotten within
Bled of all life
She was dead inside
Virgins would swear
In her they feared
Watching them bleed
The beast she would feed

According to history she was married at fifteen wed to the Viscount
What were they about
He gifted her a new house
Complete with horror chamber
Her uncle was about the black arts
Here aunt introduced her to sadistic charms
Though they new no real power
They would draw pain out by the hour

Alone would countess be
Consumed with blood and flesh eating

Bled of all life
She was dead inside
Her portrait hung there
Waiting to be resurrected even in death

Dark was her sin
Rotten within
Bled of all life
She was dead inside
Virgins would swear
In her they feared
Watching them bleed
The beast she would feed

Alone would countess be
Consumed with blood and flesh eating

Bled of all life
She was dead inside
Her portrait hung there
Waiting to be resurrected even in death
Bled of all life
She was dead inside
Her portrait hung there
Waiting to be resurrected even in death
