[Intro] C#5 A5 B5 G5 (4x) F#5 A5 F#5 B5 A5 F#5 A5 C#5 [Verse 1]
F#5                                         E5
Welcoming the virgins fair, to live a noble life

F#5                                              A5
In the castle known to all, the Count's infernal wife

F#5                                          E5
She invites the peasants with endless lavish foods

F#5                                                         A5
But when evening spreads its wings, she rapes them of their blood
[Chorus]
C#5 A5 B5 G5  C#5 A5 B5 G5
Counteeeeeess Bathoryyyyyyy

C#5 A5 B5 G5  C#5 A5 B5 G5
Counteeeeeess Bathoryyyyyyy
[Interlude] F#5 A5 F#5 B5 A5 F#5 A5 C#5 [Verse 2]
F#5                                               E5
All day long the virgins sit and feast on endless meals

F#5                                                            A5
The Countess laughs and sips her wine, her skin doth crack and peel

F#5                                                E5
But when nighttime fills the air, one must pay the price

F#5                                                            A5
The Countess takes her midnight bath with blood that once gave life
[Chorus]
C#5 A5 B5 G5  C#5 A5 B5 G5

[Interlude] F#5 A5 F#5 B5 A5 F#5 A5 C#5 [Verse 3]
F#5                                                     E5
Living in her self styled Hell, the Countess dressed in black

F#5                                                       A5
Life's so distant, death's so near, no blood to turn time back

F#5                                                      E5
The castle walls are closing in, she's crippled now with age

F#5                                                 A5
Welcomes death with open arms, the Reaper turns the page
[Chorus]
C#5 A5 B5 G5  C#5 A5 B5 G5
Counteeeeeess Bathoryyyyyyy

C#5 A5 B5 G5  C#5 A5 B5 G5
Counteeeeeess Bathoryyyyyyy
