[Lant / Dunn / Bray] [These words taken from Venom's original version] Wellcoming the virgin's fair, to live a noble life In the castle known to all The Count's infernal wife She invites the peasants with endless lavish foods But, when evening spreads its wings She rapes them of their blood Countess Bathory Countess Bathory All day long the virgins sit Feast on endless meals The Countess laughs and sips her wine Her skin both crack and peel But when nighttime fills the air One must pay the price The Countess takes her midnight bath with blood that once gave life Countess Bathory Countess Bathory (Countess) Countess Bathory Countess Bathory Living in her self-styled hell the Countess dressed in black Life so distant, d**h so near no blood to turn time back The castle walls are closing in She's crippled now with age Welcomes d**h with open arms The Reaper turns the page Countess Bathory Countess Bathory
