mirror can you tell me
how to stay forever young
let me know the secret
I will hold my twisted tongue
please protect my beauty
velvet skin so pure and white
hear my name resounding
like a hymn at dead of night
once I struck a servant
she's a virgin free from sin
drops of blood caressed me
and refined my aging skin
could this be the answer
uncorrupted carmine red
voices keep resounding
in my dazed bewildered head
have I found myself eternity
someone has heard my prayers
now I'll become divine
have I found myself divinity
I'm no longer a slave
to the vicious hands of time

Review about Elizabeth: I. Mirror Mirror Amazing | Reviewer: Josh | 8/1/2008
For those that don't know, all three of Kamelot's "Elizabeth" songs are based on the legend of Elizabeth Bathory -- for a detailed look at the entire legend, a great and horrifying story about it is 'The Blood Countess' by Andrei Codrescu.
The legend says she murdered virgin females to bathe in their blood, believing it retained her youth. All collaborator names used in the above book are actual name, but this part of the legend *is not true*. In her time, the legend was needed as it was thought women couldn't commit violence for its own sake, so they made it up that Bathory did it for vanity. However, records from trials of her collaborators show that her torture and murder of victims was purely for the sadistic pleasure of it. Collaborators were burnt alive, one was beheaded beforehand, one was acquitted due to being forced to participate. Bathory herself was never on trial nor executed as she was a well-known political figure and it would have been unwise. She was sentenced to house arrest in a single room of one of her many castles until death. She was convicted of 80 murders, though many people reported different numbers, with as many as 612 being attributed to her by some, making her the single greatest serial killer in all of history. The actual number of victims is unknown.
