Her Portrait Eyes Songtext
von Vampyrouss

In the darkest corner at the deathly side of night
Still haunted by his past the count deplored without respite
Lit by candelabra sifting through tomes of the dead
He recited scripts iniquitous in wicked tongues and hex

Under light of the moon there grew a disquieting mood
As mammatus clouds loomed clad in the darkest of hues
It seemed the storm had arrived bringing the bleak skies to life
Thunderous bellows to provide a pulsing theme for the night
Dressed in naught but his shame the count drew blood from a slave
Bled her upon an altar as bait, a gift for the devils to claim
Should they arise from the depths of whichever hell they transgress
A seeping mist soon grew dense and cast the room in darkness

From the shadow grew a contorted figure of deathly pall
Risen from beyond to hear the counts relentless call
To offer him relief from the grief that had amassed within
To see her face one final time and quench his thirst again


Faust
"Come to me ghoul, break the stranglehold
The grip of death upon her fragile soul"

Mephisto glared a thousand daggers at this impending Faust
But spoke in almost sombre tones
When addressing the dishevelled Count...

Mephisto
"We shall strike a deal and on my terms shall you be damned
But for this price I will grant you any wish that you demand"

Faust
"Grant me a glimpse upon my bride whom wrongly died for sins
Her portrait eyes painted black as coal by those heartless charlatans"

Mephisto′s eyes flickered fires, burning sulphur filled the air
The Devil's presence fading as his Faust wished in despair:

Faust
"Bring her back to me and take what I behold
It matters not to me, let your price for her be known
What you wish is yours, for her I′d sell my soul"

And so the pact was sealed and poured away the shades of life
For the Count who fell to darkness now a Devil's concubine...
