Blood Wedding (St. Bartholomew's Day 1572)

Catharine de Medici a truly evil woman
 Mistress of Italy's renaissance history
 After the death of her husband Henry II
 Regent of France in a time of turmoil
 Calvinism's thought spreading like a plague
 The sick teachings of true Christianity
 Attacking the evil Catholic church
 And even challenging the monarchy
 In the 1550's the burnings began
 Many Huguenots already killed by Henry
 But after his death they kept on coming
 Catherine had to take radical action
 [Chorus:]
 A wedding drenched in blood
 A cruel and brutal massacre
 Thousands of Huguenots dead
 Hail to the evil Catherine
 In Paris they all came together
 Many important Huguenot leaders
 To celebrate Navarre's wedding
 But their feast became a massacre
 On the day of Saint Bartholomew
 Wedding guests dragged from their beds
 All slaughtered unceremoniously
 A heavy blow to the Huguenot party
 [Chorus]
