Inkubus Sukkubus The Rape Of Maude Bowen Lyrics

The Rape Of Maude Bowen Lyrics

Lying in the brook she's naked
Cold and dead, raped and broken
Sweet Maude
Bowen victim of a man
By her side does lie her rapist
Her mother's
brother, cold as she is
An avenging angel's arrow in his heart
And the
squire he does blame her
With his lies he does shame her
Sweet Maude
Bowen shamed a suicide
Now here is a tale, a story to be told
Of a young
girl, but fifteen years old
Impaled as a vampire, her mother burned as a
witch
Now these were the crimes, the crimes of the rich

At the
cross-roads they impaled her
With the elm they claim to save her
Save her
soul from Satan's evil lair
Now her mother weeps in madness
At the tree,
at the crossroads
The tree that grows from sweet Maude Bowen's heart
The
squire's men do taunt and tease her
Drag her off the grave and jeer
her
Then one more dies with an arrow in his heart

Now here is a tale,
a story to be told
Of a young girl, but fifteen years old
Impaled as a
vampire, her mother burned as a witch
Now these were the crimes, the crimes
of the rich

Up before the judge at Gloucester
Acused a witch now they
will burn her
At the tree at the cross-roads will she die
Tied to the elm
the faggots smoking
Maude's sweet mother crying, choking
Mother,
daughter, victims of a man
And the squire he stands there laughing
With
his men he's laughing, joking

Then he is dead with an arrow in his
heart

Now here is a tale, a story to be told
Of a young girl, but
fifteen years old
Impaled as a vampire, her mother burned as a witch
Now
these were the crimes, the crimes of the rich
