hey, this is both my first btvs fic, and my first song-thingy, so please be kinda nice. I'm pretty sure that Sarah Brightman's song, early one morning (well actually it's a folk song), is in the episode 'lies my parents told me', though again, i can't be sure.

i found this in a pocket of my jacket, so i'm not sure exactly how old it is...

this is just my version of what the first (when it takes on spikes form), sings when spike (the real one) is in buffy's basement.

the song/fic-ness...

Early one morning,

just as the sun was rising,

I heard a maid plead for death,

in the valley below.

Can't you hear the screaming,

the screaming of the maiden,

I think i've hurt

a poor maiden so.

Remember the lies

that you will tell the people,

remember they're just lies,

that you're alive now too.

Oh don't scream to loud,

oh don't yell for help,

and this is how I'll kill

a poor maiden so.

warm was rhe blood,

and weak was the heartbeat

I've taken the blood from you, love,

and given it to me.

I killed the maiden,

I killed her withough mercy,

I killed the maiden

in the vale below.
