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
|
