about

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluebeard

The Bluebeard folktale with a twist -- what if the guard opens the door for the woman so he can enjoy his master's murders vicariously?

This is the same rough version I posted November 2008.

lyrics

You don't ask what happened
His history is a private matter
You wouldn't like what you find
Just pray to never ask for
The violence he keeps confined

Oh all the women before you
he never deserved them they were cruel
Oh you dear you are different, you are so innocent
He watches you like a hawk
And your body given to him, he owns it

In daily life he is solicitous
Wants to know your desires so he can fill them
You tell him omitting only one thing:
Your curiosity

But with your subtle charms you have seduced the guard
Now he walks beside you with a ring of keys
you do not see the sadistic gleam in his eyes
as he opens the forbidden chamber
he will enjoy murder vicariously
Your false step unleashes the fury
Belied by your prince's calm demeanor
Oh what is behind that door?

In bluebeard's castle
What is behind that door?
