Kathy Mar - Basilisk lyrics

She searched for a Basilisk all through the seasons She hunted him down but for all the wrong reasons She'd thought up a plan that she felt was quite clever A way her great beauty could live on forever Chorus: The Basilisk watches and waits the right hour To claim you forever with his awesome power She sought from the mountains clear down to the seaside The closer she came the more cleverly he'd hide But when she despaired and was weeping quite blindly She met a young princeling who treated her kindly She soon fell in love and gave up her brash scheming They spent all their days lost in planning and dreaming She hid in the wood as a game so he'd find her She turned and saw Basilisk standing behind her And when the young lordling came seeking his lady (All) Through the dark branches so peaceful and shady He stopped in a clearing forlorn and alone To stare in surprise at a lady of stone Repeat chorus
