Lyrics

[00:00.000] 作词 : Cryptopsy
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Cryptopsy
[00:55.859] The courtroom was packed as the verdict was delivered
[01:04.279] The quiet defendant sat paralysed in disbelief
[01:07.306] Her hands would be severed, she would be hung and then burnt
[01:44.255] I turned to console her but she was already being ushered away
[01:48.603] Her life had never been an easy one
[01:52.868] Forced to procreate like beasts in dark stables
[01:56.960] She wept whenever she laid her head down to sleep
[02:03.558] To escape would be her only refuge
[02:07.643] From this trivial life she had been forced to lead
[02:12.124] Her lover's empty promises
[02:16.585] Drove her towards these drastic measures
[02:25.881] Her timeline was ticking with the spring thaw quickly approaching
[02:34.380] Aware that she would be whisked away with the free flowing currents
[02:40.315] She had to react
[03:11.627] The tiny witness who pointed her out
[03:15.921] Giggles today as she walks towards the schoolhouse
[03:26.016] But Angelique had no freedom ever since that gavel fell
[03:31.831] The shovel full of coals is what persuaded the judge
[04:07.926] At the gallows she stood before them
[04:12.545] With quivering lips she begged for absolution
[04:26.952] But when the hangman tripped the switch
[04:31.699] Her body finally fell towards its fate
[04:37.048] Afterwards the empty carcass was flunt upon the pyre
[04:43.068] Her neighbors and comrades all watched as the hem of her skirt ignited
[04:53.280] They all cheered with glee as the flames consumed her
