King Herod's Pact pt. II

from Salome LIVE by Dendera Bloodbath

/

lyrics

Come near, Salome come nearer that I may pay thee thy fee
I will grant thee what thy heart desires, I shall compensate thee royally

Would that you bring me, on a silver charger, the head of Iokannan

I have sworn an oath to my gods, this I know too well
Half of my kingdom could be yours, ask of me something else

Bring me the head of Iokannan

I beg thee be not stubborn, I have loved thee too much
Head and body separate is ill to look upon, perhaps an emerald from Caesar's clutch

Bring me...

I have looked at thee and ceased not this night, but I shall look at thee no more
What of my white peacocks, gilded golden beaks, I have but a hundred and they're yours

Bring me...

Salome, think of what you're doing, this man may come from God
If he dies perhaps some evil would befall me, Salome listen to me once more

Bring me...

Let her be given what she asks, of a truth she is her mother's child
Oh surely some evil will befall someone, wherefore did I give my oath?
