James Booth & The Return - This Makes The Dead Walk

Murder Ballad No. 5

I said to my lady, "come walk with me, in the forest growing luscious pine"
I said to my lady, "come wander with me", as I drank down lavender wine
She seemed so calm, she seemed so free
She seemed so at ease with me
Despite my knowing, by decree
She was growing fruit that wasn't mine

She danced for the princes, two moons ago, under pretense of a royal ball
She danced for the princes, two moons ago, long after the sun did fall
They took her up, into their tower
'Twas there they spent their evening hours
And she came back without her flower, and her belly growing nine-to-go

And the Ravens sing "La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la"
And the Robins sing "La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la"
And the Angels in Hell whisper
"Your lady has been untrue to you"

I reached for the knife under my sleeve, as she danced among the lilies wild
I pulled out the knife from under my sleeve, and my rage could not be reconciled
I raised it up, with means to hack
'Twas then an arrow found my back
The prince's guards, they had attacked, in the interest of the unborn child

And the Vermin sing "La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la"
And the Vultures sing "La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la"
And the Angels in Hell whisper
"Your lady has been untrue to you"
