The Lady Lies Lyrics - And Then There Were Three - Genesis

The man steps out in the moonlight 

At the sound of a scream from below. 

He thinks he is a warrior 

So he picks up his sword and goes. 

From the mouth of the monster 

He rescues the maiden fair. 

But we know she's a demon 

Come to lure him to demon's lair. 

Through restless foliage and tall trees he leads 

To a house in a clearing, a place in her fear she calls home. 

"Come with me, I need you, 

I fear the dark and I live all alone. 

I'll give you wine and food too 

And something special after if you like."

And though his body bids him 

To enter in with her, 

There was something in her manner 

That his mind could not ignore. 

Also it is whispered 

In the kingdom far and wide, 

To beware a little cottage 

In the forest in a glade. 

For who knows what magic takes place in his world? 

So he just thanks her kindly preparing to go on his way. 

"Come with me, I need you, 

I fear the dark and I live all alone. 

I'll give you wine and food too 

And something special after if you like. 

Come to my garden, 

Taste the fruits and the spices of love. 

You can't resist me, 

I'm the kind that your dreams tell you of." 

"So glad you could make it 

We had everything arranged. 

So glad you saw fit to pay a call." 

Some men never listen, 

And others never learn, 

But why this man did as he did 

Only he will ever know. 

He knew he was walking 

Into a waiting trap, 

Neatly set up for him 

With a bait so richly wrapped. 

So he went inside there to take on what he found 

But he never escaped them, for who can escape what he desires? 

"Come with me, I need you, 

I fear the dark and I live all alone. 

I'll give you wine and food too 

And something special after if you like."
