All along the castle walls
A deadly secret she doth keep
"Revenge”, she whispers, while he sleeps
She was once his only lady
With ivory skin and beauty fair
She fed him nectar from raven hair

His betrayal seared her hemorraged heart
She had warned with many a fiery stare
Thou shall not indulge in wicked fare
Be ever so watchful, do not betray
Beware, where thou heart doth leave
"Take heed" said she, “Just who thy seed deceives"

In her chamber dark at night, this maiden fair
Planned his demise with nectar, bitter sweet
Stirring her venomous, poison treat
Or would dagger to his heart she’d plant
Bid him die a dark and lingering death
Upon his sleeping body that she left

Amidst her pillaged, ravaged heart
Would this poison brew she stirred
Leave him dead without a word?
Her empty soul doth bid her tears beneath
Bringing chalice to her lips of ruby red
The poison she drank…
Left her coldly dead
