You know your life is but a mystery

Moves thru shadows in the night

In the darkness of the evening cast a wicked spell

Feel your wicked bite

Searching for the lost and lonely

Looking for the hopeless kind.

Then you wrap yourself around their heart

And feed your evil poison to their mind

Pray for the morning

Run for your life

Truth cuts thru the heart like a knife

Mistress of the night

Oh Black Mountain Woman

You say you’re just a hopeless sinner

But salvation is at hand

If you search inside your heart you’ll find

The truth is not so hard to understand

The way of love and true devotion

Will someday come to rule the land

So don’t let her steal your destiny

She’ll bleed you like the children of the damned

Pray for the morning

Run for your life

Truth cuts thru the heart like a knife

Mistress of the night

Oh Black Mountain Woman

Pray for the morning

Run for your life

Truth cuts thru the heart like a knife

Oh Black Mountain Woman

Just a poison in your life

She’s a mistress of the night

She’s coming after you, man
