Catharine de Medici a truly evil woman Mistress of Italy's renaissance history After the d**h of her husband Henry II Regent of France in a time of turmoil Calvinism's thought spreading like a plague The sick teachings of true Christianity Attacking the evil Catholic church And even challenging the monarchy In the 1550's the burnings began Many Huguenots already k**ed by Henry But after his d**h they kept on coming Catherine had to take radical action
[Chorus:] A wedding drenched in blood A cruel and brutal ma**acre Thousands of Huguenots dead Hail to the evil Catherine In Paris they all came together Many important Huguenot leaders To celebrate Navarre's wedding But their feast became a ma**acre On the day of Saint Bartholomew Wedding guests dragged from their beds All slaughtered unceremoniously A heavy blow to the Huguenot party [Chorus]
