Swallowtail Lyrics

"Brimstone eyes she hath,

Black in colour looking sad

The hair like straw, her skin so raw...

A debauchery decadent"

Grandmother used to tell

"beware do not go near the hut - I say!"

It was believed to be the home of a witch

- a house left in decay



[Bridge:]

They speakest alright

'Cause I went one night

And saw the old house

Ivy all around

Suddenly I was bound

And fell in darkness

People brave enough went

And faced the things they said

They never came back, neither to be,

Sorry for their misbelieve

Only pieces of their bodies hanging up

On the strangest trees they found

Forming shapes that may have linked

To whom the parts belonged in a whole lifetime



[Bridge]



[Chorus:]

In her arms you'll crackle like fire

In the night you'll see her
