Lyrics
Black Widow
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Time is red
Time is deadly
Time under glass
Time will tell
The tale of the widow
Who walks her web
Mourning the night
Mourning the dead
Did you lose him to a broom
Trapped in a corner of the room
Or was it under the foot
Of the marching black boot
Is it the loneliness of night
That makes you reach out and bite
The unawakened flesh
You lady in distress
Oh you poor poor suffering
Murderess!
