lyrics

BLACK WIDOW IN WHITE LACE
Written by Dani Cichon and Nick Stone
Copyright 2018, South for Winter

Oh, black widow in white lace
Painted smile on her lips
Oh, left six miles from heaven
Searching for her innocence

Oh, black widow in white lace
Judgment was swift and unkind,
And not one of two thousand tongues did
Defend her life

When the silence fell
Over those holy rivers
Her voice rang out
These words, she delivered:

“I’ll take them down with me
Take them down, take your sins
For the devil to keep
Take them down with me”

Oh, black widow in white lace
Can’t find rest beneath the ground
And so she carries beyond the grave
Secrets of a ghost town

And when the silence falls
Over those holy rivers
Her voice rings out
These words, she delivers:

“I’ll take them down with me
Take them down, take your sins
For the devil to keep
Take them down with me”

Oh, when it’s time for your penance
I'll bring to hell your confessions
(I’ll take them down with me)
Cleanse all the guilt from those hands of red
(Take them down, for the devil to keep)
Oh, beg the devil’s forgiveness

Ahh, ahh

Take them down,
Take them down with me
Take them down,
Take them down with me

Ahh, ahh
