Kathy Mar Basilisk Lyrics

Basilisk Lyrics

She searched for a Basilisk all through the seasons



She hunted him down but for all the wrong reasons



She'd thought up a plan that she felt was quite clever



A way her great beauty could live on forever







Chorus:	 The Basilisk watches and waits the right hour



	 To claim you forever with his awesome power







She sought from the mountains clear down to the seaside



The closer she came the more cleverly she'd hide



but when she despaired and was weeping quite blindly



She met a young princeling who treated her kindly







She soon fell in love and gave up her brash scheming



They spent all their days lost in planning and dreaming



She hid in the wood as a game so he'd find her



She turned and saw Basilisk standing behind her







And when the young lordling came seeking his lady



(All) Through the dark branches so peaceful and shady



He stopped in a clearing forlorn and alone



To stare in surprise at a lady of stone







Repeat chorus















Words and music:Kathy Mar
