Black night, Black river
I've got to have her
I've got to get her
Black river running red
I'm going to love you until you're dead
Be my bloody bride
And stay right by my side tonight
Be my bloody bride
And stay right by my side tonight

We made love
The night was hot and dark
I plunged a blade deep into her heart
Blood pumps to my hands and my feet
Blood stains on my clothes and my sheets
Be my bloody bride
And stay right by my side tonight
Be my bloody bride
And stay right by my side tonight

There's a weight, hanging over my head
It dangles there, dangles by a thread
I killed my girl
I've to hide
But at least I finally found my blood bride
Be my bloody bride
And stay right by my side tonight
Be my bloody bride
And stay right by my side tonight
