BLAME THE BAYOU

He was a nurse at Redbrook Manor
An asylum near Graves ravine
A powerless victim, of a patient
Sadie Marc...
Of New Orleans

There was a rule that he'd discarded
Never to become attached
Sadie deemed him her protector
Her safeguard from ...
A sordid past

He'd never witnessed such a vision
So exquisite and refined
Overlooked the grievous fact that
The damage loomed...
Down deep inside

~~~*1st Chorus*~~~
(soulful cries)..
Oh, oh oh......
In the darkness
The bayou came to life
With unearthly whispers
Hunting through the night
Calling to their tainted
Creatures void of shame
Compelling the tinder to flame
A righteous soul to claim
The bayou is to blame
Mmm mmm mmm 
Blame the Bayou
~~*~~

She preyed upon his weakness
Colleagues brought up their concerns
He lied...ending the rumors
Within it's walls...
The manor burned

She used her body as the quicksand
To ensnare him towards her aim
He was bewitched, completely helpless
A hunted fool...
Of thee insane

She begged him to release her
Promising his deepest needs
So he freed her from the manor
Scalding passion...
Was his greed

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~
(soulful cries)..
Oh, oh oh...
In the darkness
The bayou came to life
With unearthly whispers
Hunting through the night
Calling to their tainted
Creatures void of shame
Compelling the tinder to flame
An immoral soul to claim
The bayou is to blame
Mmm mmm mmm 
Blame the Bayou
~~*~~

Her laughter rang out cruelly
On the waters murky edge
While professing his devotion
Loves pure...
Undying pledge

He broke under her malice
And the bayou claimed his mind
In a wing at Redbrook Manor's
where he will...
Serve out his time

~~~*Final Chorus*~~~
(soulful cries)..
Oh, oh oh....
In the darkness
The bayou came to life
With unearthly whispers
Hunting through the night
Calling to their tainted
Creatures void of shame
Compelling the tinder to flame
Another soul's been claimed
The bayou is to blame
Mmm mmm mmm 
Blame the Bayou
~~*~~
