Wonder how much She can take
Cut Her finger, take her ring
Bruise her up, black as sin
Shoot Her down, blind her eye
Bury Her in the night.
See the arms, shake in fear
Here She is, Amanda is here.
A woman named Amanda married a therapist. A patient of this therapist was obsessed with him and jealous of Amanda, so She kidnapped her, took her to Sorren lake, in Cascada Mira Park, and tortured, blinded, shot and buried her, and also She stole her engagement ring after cutting off the finger; the cops found Amanda bc She tried to crawl out of her grave and died with only the arms sticking out of the mud.
