Lady Eleanor Lyrics
As she played, magicians sitting lotus on the floor,
Belly dancing beauty with a power driven saw.
Had my share of nightmares,
Didn't think there could be much more.
Then in walked Rodrick Usher with the Lady Eleanor.
She tied my eyes with a ribbon,
Of a silken ghostly thread.
I gaze with troubled vision,
On an old four poster bed.
Where Eleanor had risen to kiss the neck below my head,
And bid me come along with her to the land of the dancing dead.
But its alright Lady Eleanor,
Alright Lady Eleanor.
I'm alright where I am.
She gazed with loving beauty,
Like a mother to a son.
Like living, dying, seeing,
Being all rolled into one.
Then all at once I heard some music,
Playing in my bones.
The same old song I'd heard for years,
Reminding me of home.
But its alright Lady Eleanor,
Alright Lady Eleanor.
I'm alright where I am.
Then creeping on towards me,
Licking lips with tongues of fire.
A host of golden demons,
Screaming lust and base desire.
And when it seemed for certain,
That the screams could get no higher.
I heard a voice above the rest,
Screaming you're a liar.
But its alright Lady Eleanor,
Alright Lady Eleanor,
I'm alright here in your arms.
Belly dancing beauty with a power driven saw.
Had my share of nightmares,
Didn't think there could be much more.
Then in walked Rodrick Usher with the Lady Eleanor.
Of a silken ghostly thread.
I gaze with troubled vision,
On an old four poster bed.
Where Eleanor had risen to kiss the neck below my head,
And bid me come along with her to the land of the dancing dead.
Alright Lady Eleanor.
I'm alright where I am.
Like a mother to a son.
Like living, dying, seeing,
Being all rolled into one.
Then all at once I heard some music,
Playing in my bones.
The same old song I'd heard for years,
Reminding me of home.
Alright Lady Eleanor.
I'm alright where I am.
Licking lips with tongues of fire.
A host of golden demons,
Screaming lust and base desire.
And when it seemed for certain,
That the screams could get no higher.
I heard a voice above the rest,
Screaming you're a liar.
Alright Lady Eleanor,
I'm alright here in your arms.

First verse is all wrong :/
As she played, magicians seeing all this on the floor = Bashee playing magician sitting lotus on the floor Had myself a nightmare = Had my share of nightmares Then in walked Lord Borgaasha with the Lady Eleanor. = Then in walked Rodrick Usher with the Lady Eleanor
I would assume its based on a dream Alan had after watching the fall of the house of usher coupled with his own subcontious thoughts
Or possibly he had recently ready Poe's short story

@runcimcfc no it was written for a forbidden love. Her name was Misty and together they wrote another song not sure what it was but remember it happening. It was about intense feelings that can never go anywhere.

First verse is hysterically wrong!!
As she played, magicians sitting lotus on the floor, Belly dancing beauties with their powers drained and sore, Had myself a nightmare, Didn't think there could be much more. Then in walked Roderick Usher with the Lady Eleanor.
Also wrong!!
And made me come along with her to the land of the dancing dead.
Should read;
And bade me come along with her to the land of the dancing dead.
Also;
Screaming lust and ways desired.
Should read;
Screaming lust and base desires.
