A Song of Trembling Sorrow

A song of trembling sorrow she bellows,
the cries of a young lass as she wallows.
Once a gentle maiden now in a craze,
death surrounding her, she's out of her cage.

Bedecked in bloodstains, she walks through the night,
searching for the lover who betrayed their plight.
He broke his promise by bedding another,
with vengeance in mind she cut off his lover.

A song of trembling sorrow she cries,
the pale young girl remembers the lies.
I love you he says as he walks out the door,
off down the road, to be with his whore.

Our vows she screamed til death do we part,
Crimson pools all around, as she pulls out his heart.
The deceit is now over, no more lies will be told,
she ended the lives of two lovers so cold.

A song of trembling sorrow, she sings no more,
this spurned young maiden, has been turned into lore.
In her haggard mind she wronged a right,
when she ended the song on that bitter night.
