"Pontianak Part I"
from the album NEVER ENDING NIGHTMARES
Music Written and Performed by Rogga Johansson
Guest Guitar Solo by Lasse Pyykkö
Lyrics by Jill Girardi
Deep in the woods is an unmarked plot
In which lies a young girl, her life snuffed out too soon
Her innocence defiled, her body left to rot
From her shallow grave she rises, by the light of the moon
Her long black hair is now her only veil
Her face is ghastly white, with long gleaming fangs
A single eye protrudes, red as the fires of hell
Her hands are claws to tear the flesh and ease her hunger pangs
EXPLANATION: PONTIANAK (Malaysia / Asia)
You may have seen this ghost girl with long black hair hiding her face and white nightgown in many Asian horror movies such as Ringu. A Pontianak is the ghost of a woman who died in childbirth or who was defiled and murdered. The Pontianak who died in childbirth can sometimes be seen standing on the side of the road holding her tombstone in her arms as if she's cradling her baby. The Pontianak who was murdered is believed to be a vampire and will not rest until she either kills her murderer or one of the line of his descendants.
