The Lady Lies

<br>The man steps out in the moonlight<br>At the sound of a scream from below<br>He thinks he is a warrior<br>So he picks up his sword and goes<br>From the mouth of the monster<br>He rescues the maiden fair<br>But we know she`s a demon<br>Come to lute him to the demon`s lair<br>Through restless foliage and tall trees he leads<br>To a house in a clearing, a place in her fear she calls home<br><br>"Come with me I need you<br>I fear the dark and I live all alone<br>I`ll give you wine and food too<br>And something special after if you like"<br><br>And though his body bids him<br>To enter in with her<br>There was something in her manner<br>That his mind could not ignore<br><br>Also it is whispered<br>In the kingdom far and wide<br>To beware a little cottage<br>In the forest in a glade<br><br>For who knows what magic takes place in his world<br>So he just thanks her kindly preparing to go on his way<br><br>"Come with me I need you<br>I fear the dark and I live all alone<br>I`ll give you wine and food too<br>And something special after if you like<br><br>Come to my garden<br>Taste the fruits and the spices of love<br>You can`t resist me<br>I`m the kind that your dreams tell you of<br><br>So glad you could make it<br>We had everything arranged<br>So glad you saw fit to pay a call"<br><br>Some men never listen<br>And other never learn<br>But why this man did as he did<br>Only he will ever know<br><br>He knew he was walking<br>Into a waiting trap<br>Neatly set up for him<br>With a bait so richly wrapped<br><br>So he went inside there to take on what he found<br>But he never escaped them, for who can escape what he desires<br><br>"Come with me I need you<br>I fear the dark and I live all alone<br>I`ll give you wine and food too<br>And something special after if you like"
