Testo Bluebeard

The maiden said I'll marry you
I'll be yours and I'll be true
I'll consent to be your bride
All my days, at your side
That is how I'll live my life
A maiden no more

Her mother and her sister warned The man, he was not natural born
His eyes were black and his beard was blue
But the maiden saw her own love true
There was nothing they could do
Maiden no more

The man gave her a ring of keys
Professed his love down on his knees
Said everything I have is free
But this one door and this one key
He said, don't you look in there
Or I'll kill you cold and dead, I swear
Gave her such a weight to bear

Then the man, he rode away And the bride went wild night and day
Only to find she wanted more
She had the key, she found the door
Chain and blood was on the floor
A stain that was not there before
Maiden no more
Maiden no more
Maiden no more
Maiden no more

The man came back to her life
To cut her with the cold grey knife
To lay her there with all the rest
Blood and bones and faded dress
To cast her to the deep darkness
But the man with his intentions stated
Found he'd underestimated
The forces of the sea and the sand
The light and the life of the land
All rose up with a hundred hands
All rose up and killed that man
All rose up with a hundred hands
All rose up and killed that man
Maiden no more
Maiden no more
Maiden no more
Maiden no more
