This ballad tells the story of an abducted child who returns to haunt the Hippodrome...

lyrics

The Ballad of Ophelia Kincade

Little we know how strange things come to pass
She sat in his lap and started to laugh
The spell that he wove was hypnotic and wild
Seen as it was through the eyes of a child

The Hippodrome rang and echoed with light
Camels and ostriches raced through the night
Where Kensington Gardens gave way to the Serpentine Bridge
The Long Water whispered “Give me your original sin”

Ophelia Kincade
Vanished in the penny arcade
Oh no, she never knew enough to be afraid
She won’t stay in her grave
She won’t stay

He pressed upon her, to her great surprise
Stars hanging silently beyond her eyes
Once he was done, his beast was still not appeased
His hands found her slim white neck and started to squeeze

Ophelia Kincade
Vanished in the penny arcade
Oh no, she never knew enough to be afraid
She won’t stay in her grave
She won’t stay

Back from the dead with a coin in her mouth
Vendetta persists like a storm from the south
Brimstone will rain, don’t say that you haven’t been warned
Hell hath no fury like a young girl forlorn

A naughty pleasure, but not a guilty one- ... more
