Bathory Songtext
von Cloven Hoof

Daughter of nobility,
Quest for immortality.
Restoring her beauty,
With the blood of virgins

Homicidal tendency,
Infamous her cruelty.
Dabbler in sorcery,
Crimson blade on skin

She bathed in blood,
Made whole
Impaled on spikes,
Brave souls slain and drained

Bathory!
She was a countess,
Severed fingers fall
Bathory!
With a heart as black
As night. Yeah!
...Elizabeth Bathory!


Maidens came from
Near and far,
To her castle abattoir
Never know
How doomed you are,
Stripped and blinded

Hear the victims
Weep and wail,
Like a grotesque
Fairy tale
Sacrificed beyond the pale,
Slash and bite the flesh

Cut deep from servants face,
Villagers vanish,
Lost without a trace

Bathory!
See the bodies,
Thrown from castle walls
Bathory!
Bleach their bones
To deathly white. Yeah!
...Elizabeth Bathory!


Beaten,
Beyond all all recognition
Frozen,
To the marrow
Left naked in the snow
Hog tied,
In unholy benediction
Bleeding sacrifice,
To the slaughter you must go

I will dine on your heart,
And drink the life out of your veins
Taking all but the soul my dear,
Till nothing of you remains

Too bad this has to end my pretty!

Bathory!
She was a countess,
Severed fingers fall
Bathory!
With a heart as black
As night. Yeah!

Bathory!
See the bodies,
Thrown from castle walls
Bathory!
Bleach their bones
To deathly white, yeah
...Elizabeth Bathory!
