Black Widow
The Dogma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Again, he fooled your heart again
And you'll never, never trust any other man
Betrayed, no chance to forget
You're tired, tired to get only pain

Since then you try to hide frozen memories
Under a layer of snow
And you bleed from your heart, your bleed in your soul
Your desperate cry is leaving you alone
You bleed from your heart, you bleed in your soul
You've lost yourself when your love was a joke
Tell me, Black Widow

Again, you fooled his heart again
No pain or sadness he'll find in your eyes
His tears, the lies he believed
Enchanting siren, he'll pay the price of pain

Since then you try to hide frozen memories
Under a layer of snow

And you bleed from your heart, your bleed in your soul
Your desperate cry is leaving you alone
You bleed from your heart, you bleed in your soul
You've lost yourself when your love was a joke
Tell me, Black Widow

You're living your life running from love
Making them bleed as the made before
Sailing away in a sea full of lies




Searching for peace in the heat of the night
Angel, you're wasting yourself
