lyrics

We marched the thief back on into town
In the square all gathered round
The thief's dead hand was shown to those
From which he stole, those he froze

Pay for what you have done
Nothing but lies you spun
Pay for what you have
Nothing but flames to come

They hanged him up on the pole to see
His vile hand burnt by the tree
His new bride weeping, wailing grief
This curse ‘pon me, my lover thief

Pay for what you have done
Nothing but lies you spun
Pay for what you have
Nothing but flames to come

Then the crack his neck has snapped, the crowd lets out a cry
The bride now quiet and her face opens with a smile
From her mouth a grisly sight, the gray and steely knives
Baba Yaga's iron teeth gnashing as she climbs

Up the steps to the pole the thief is hanging slack
Never gave his dues she says now I pay him back
Slice off his now twitching hand to pay the debt he owes
Eye for eye and hand for hand, her bloody triumph grows
