{CHAR} (yes, it be me, ya demigirl)
Adri's fat lip is drying
The bastard's bacon frying
The shiner 'round her eye's gone bust and bleeding
He shouts
{CHARLES}
"Girl, set the table!"
{CHAR}
But he knows she ain't able
Her arm's done broke
Hung limp like yolk
And softly she's repeating;
{ADRI}
"Leave Adri
Why don't you march out that door?
French woman, he ain't no good to you
Leave Adri
France wants war, but it's you dying out here on the river banks"
{CHAR}
And yet loyal Adri remains
Ever since she no to him
His sanity just made off
He was nice at first but now he's cruel
He rapes her and he beats her
She don't 'fess how he treats her
Cause a bible verse said it won't get worse and she won't be a fool
You won't ever leave Adri
Cause if you walk out that door you know he'll be gunning for you
No you won't ever leave Adri
Or he'll give you what for
You got heart where you should've had brains
And so loyal Adri remains
Someone's howling
Screams like sighing with battered breath
Grating
Growling
Never dying
In a fate worse than death
But years of such conditions
Turn laymen to logicians
And tonight the bastard's sleeping like a log
So she plucks the kitchen cleaver
Creeps towards his roped lab retriever
And cuts the rope
And hope on hope
She starts to shout
{ADRI}
"Your dogs got out!"
{CHAR}
She's got her chance
With no back glance
She runs out to the bog
Screaming, screaming;
{CHAR/ADRI}
"Leave Adri
You've got a life left to live
In a house hanging off the golden coast
Leave Adri
You won't forgive or forget"
{CHAR}
And she don't feel the stings and rips and scrapes
As finally Adri escapes
Swim Adri
Swim Adri
Cause in this swamp with leeches (not my dumbass at first typing leashes-)
As the preacher preaches
There's a light in the night
And through the marsh and brushes as the blood inside you rushes
Left and right
All your might
Until you reach the bank
And you crawl onto the bank
Till you feel a yank on your hair
And stricken stare at the bastard
Who beat you there
The bastard lies in bed now
Half sad his wife is dead now
She drowned herself in the tub in wild despair
He thinks he used to love her
But push it came to shove
A wife disposed
A life case closed
But no-one seemed to care to grieve Adri
Now there's no-one on his shoulder
Yet his mattress don't feel colder
In fact it's hellish hot
And the air is dark and steaming
Yet his body starts to shiver
As the window cracks a sliver
And fiery fog from the miry bog, pour in the room, in a sticky gloom
And there the man sees dead Adri
He's terrified but he keeps his pride
Cause he knows he ain't dreaming
And he starts screaming;
{CHAR/CHARLES}
"Leave Adri
Hell sent you back here for more
Cause ain't no-one ever loved you"
{CHAR}
But Adri said;
{CHAR/ADRI}
"I've come to settle a score"
{CHAR}
And she shows him her feet which are bound in chains
And loyal Adri
Remains, and remains, and remains, and remains
Someone's howling
Screams like sighing with battered breath
Grating
Growling
Never dying
In a fate worse than death
Adri
She cries her miserable wail
So the bastards will never sleep again
Adri
She brings their souls down to hells
A caution to the cruelest of men
God loves Adri
Praise be
Amen
