Bath of Bathory
Bath of Bathory: A Dark Symphony of Power, Corruption, and Despair
Lyrics
Alone in the darkness of power
Feeling isolated in a position of authority or control
I pay a perverted young man to lick me
Engaging in perverse acts for personal satisfaction
Knowledge, money and throne, it ain't much
Having knowledge, wealth, and power, but feeling inadequate
I can control everything but this face
Unable to control one's appearance or outward perception
This fucking face
Expressing frustration or disdain toward one's appearance
Why do they smile, them stupid youthfully sluts ?
Questioning the motivations of others who seem naive or promiscuous
An occult hate devours my tale
Feeling consumed by a hidden hatred or resentment
A hidden torture to be like you no doubt
Experiencing internal struggle to emulate someone else
You want justice ?
Challenging the idea of justice
Forget all that hope you gave me
Rejecting hope or expectations given by others
I am the castle's mistress
Identifying as the dominant figure in a particular setting
Kneel and bleed before your countess
Expecting subjugation and submission from others
Despicable disfigurement
Feeling disgust for one's disfigured appearance
For the bath at the freak show
Preparing for a display or exhibition of deformity
On broken bones
Referring to the suffering experienced
Those poor souls within me
Symbolizing the anguish of others within oneself
Let me see this waking dream
Desiring to witness a distorted reality or situation
Bathed in the spectacle of death's show
Being immersed in the spectacle of death or tragedy
With burning eyes
Being emotionally affected by intense pain or suffering
Their poor souls devour me
Feeling consumed by the suffering of others
Let the corpses enrap my old age
Seeking comfort or validation from the deceased
Tragedy is afoot
Expressing impending disaster or misfortune
Tribunal of corruption
Referring to a corrupted legal or authoritative system
Those poor maggots still believe in hope (x2)
Mocking those who maintain hope despite dire circumstances
The disease of redemption
Describing redemption as a sickness or flaw
The sound of weakened innocence
Portraying innocence weakened by adverse influences
Is like a sinful lullaby
Comparing the corruption of innocence to a comforting yet sinful song
“No, please”
Expression of pleading or desperation
Sinful lullaby
Reiteration of the previous line's concept
It comes with a knife
Describing the arrival of harm or danger
A powerful beast for decades
Symbolizing a long-standing internal struggle or torment
has established rule within my head
Having endured mental dominance for an extended period
Laceration, convulsion, putrification
Describing physical and emotional suffering
Physical transformation
Questioning the true desire behind physical changes
Is it really what I seek ?
Contemplating if physical transformation brings fulfillment
A rich woman's experiment
Portraying experimentation driven by wealth
An occult copulation with satan
Referring to a forbidden or malevolent union
Forsaken by grace
Feeling abandoned or rejected by divine favor
Thus perish all the innocent virgins
Expressing destruction or harm upon the innocent
Time to take a bath
Metaphorically referring to the act of washing away sin or guilt
Agony
Emphasizing intense suffering or pain
