Black Widow

Bruce Dickinson

And here, my prize, the Black Widow.

Isn't she lovely? And so deadly.

Her kiss is fifteen times more poisonous than the rattlesnake.

And you see her venom is highly neurotoxic

Which is to say that it attacks the central nervous system

Causing intense pain

Profuse sweating

Difficulty in breathing

Loss of consciousness

Violent convulsions

And finally death.

You know what I think I love the most about her

Is her inborn need to dominate and possess.

Such power and dignity, unhampered by sentiment.

If I may put forward a slice of personal philosophy

I feel that man has ruled this world as a stumbling dimented child-king long enough!

And as his empire crumbles, my precious Black Widow shall rise as his most fitting successor!



These words he speaks are true

We're all humanary stew

If we don't pledge allegiance to

The Black Widow



The horror that he'll brings

The horror of his sting

The unholiest of kings

The Black Widow



Our minds will be destroyed

And every girl and boy

Will learn to be employed

The Black Widow



Love me

Yes we love me

Love him

Yes we love him

Love me

Yes we love him, oh



He sits upon his throne

And picks at all the bones

Of his husbands and his wives

He's devoured

He stares with a gleam

With a laugh so obscene

and the children and the virgins

He's deflowered



Love me

Yes we love me

Love him

Yes we love him

Love me

Yes we love him, oh



Our thoughts are hot and crazed

Our dreams are webbed in haze

Mindless, senseless daze

The Black Widow



These words he speaks are true

We're all humanary stew

If we don't pledge allegiance to

Ha-ha-ha, the Black Widow



The Black Widow

Sets free, oh, the children to me
