about

Spoken Word intro into the album

lyrics

PRELUDE FROM THE PARLOUR (Spoken Word)

I am the Marchioness Difunesta
23rd LadyAxe to the Ursai tribe
On my journey through my era, this alien homeland of the Britons hold me
Like a child unwanted, eternally adopted

Now, as the secret Witch Mother of the Ursai I live as nobility
My neighbours unaware, my victims undiscovered
Hereforth then, follows the tales of those I had encountered
Those I blessed in blood

From the ardour of black magic to the fervor of the loosed grave
From the oubliette and ghost ship to the child in suffered plague
In the psychomanteum where the mirror shows the wrong face
And the lady with the cleavers becomes her father’s proud disgrace

The RED, all is RED!
Even mine eyes see only the dripping death, the ripping flesh of the soul
The slow burning of evil alight like crib death, absinthe and night
Like SCARLET FEVER!
