lyrics

There was a girl once; she wasn’t the first to fear a blue beard
But, with gifts to pay, this gentleman found a way to her heart.

As his bride, everything was hers.
But most suspect, it meant nothing- without the test.

So,

Do you want to hear the rest?

Tapestries, treasures, and doors to explore
He left her with a simple request, “be good” in his absence

She cannot see
She does not know…it’s begun…
The key it bleeds

How long until he sees her grave mistake?

Sweat and blood descend down her milky skin
Salted with guilt but lost for words, has she sinned?

She cannot see
She does not know
The key it bleeds

Just like all before, bound by curiosity,
The young bride unaware his trust kept her alive
But she, mistook her vows for guarantees of life security

The key it bleeds!
She is doomed now.
Begging is futile.
Send the dogs
Search the lake
Lost the game.
She is gone.
