An Execution Lyrics

-

♪♫An Execution Lyrics♫♪ This is what she saw....... The unsuspecting horse was held fast to the ground Whilst some soldiers slit open its belly The guilty gypsy was shoved inside the horse's belly With only his head protruding from the dying beast Another soldier then sewed up the wound with the culprit inside Condemned to die, along with the putrifying animal, screaming The young countess looked on barely restraining a giggle...† Written By: Lyric credit pending!

From Tinderbox 1986 CD
