All day long the virgins sitand feast on endless mealsThe Countess Bath'ry sips her wineHer skin doth crack and peelBut when night time fills the airOne must pay the priceThe Countess takes her midnight bathWith blood that once gave life3. Living in her self-styled hellThe Countess dressed in blackLife so distant death so nearNo blood to turn thy bathThe castle walls are closing inShe's crippled now with ageShe welcomes death with open armsThe reaper turns the page---------I am . . .M C Vic - "That which does not kill me better run like hell."gs01mcv@panther.gsu.eduCheck out the Skiptoe Home Page - If You Dare!!!!!!The Awesome M C Vic Home Page is under construction:
