lyrics
Furies (Jezebel)
Bluer than Jeremiah
And wide awake
You trace the steps of each
Calamitous mistake
Treacherous Jezebel
She could not be true
Those eyes of emerald cast
A spell over you
You lived so simply with your
Suitable wife
Hid so completely in your
Plain little life
Your blushing bride, once
Beautiful in her bloom
Now seemed as frigid as
A desolate tomb
They'll give no quarter, though
You beg for the end
Come the dark hour when
The Furies descend
Lust came on strongly, like some
Juggernaut force
And swept you up into
Her lecherous course
She bade you jump and so you
Foolishly leapt
Senselessly following her
Down to the depths
Her countenance was coy
Her smile, tenebrous
She whispered, “All I do,
I'm doing for us”
Unable to resist
The lure of her charms
Her comely body laying
Warm in your arms
They'll give no quarter, though
You beg for the end
Come the dark hour when
The Furies descend
Your trusting wife cried out
The plan fell in place
But no foul scheme has ever
Proven fail safe
Your lover fled without a
Hint of remorse
Left you red-handed, standing
Next to the corpse
For her persimmon lips and
The shape of her thighs
For the sweetly deceptive
Sound of her sighs
Treacherous Jezebel
She led you astray
And held you captive as her
Credulous prey
They'll give no quarter, though
You beg for the end
Come the dark hour when
The Furies descend
