GENESIS

- The Lady Lies Lyrics

Ooh, and 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 the 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 world
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 could make it
We had everything arranged
So glad you saw fit to pay a call

Some men never listen
And other 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
