[Intro: Sandy]
Let me tell a little tale
Maybe you have heard about
Black widow spider's on the wall
Weaving a silken web
Patiently works her thread
Quiet she lies there waiting
For your time to fall
[Verse 1: Fabio Lione & Alissa White-Gluz]
I was fooled by your false adulation
Just another bait that fell into your trap
Stop your whining of victimization
'Cause you know well how to differ dirt from gold
[Chorus: Fabio Lione & Alissa White-Gluz]
The black widow's web
She silently waits for a chance
Once you're caught she gets hold of your life
You are mine
Then her poison will make you blind
The black widow's web
She'll be carefully spreading her net
You have nowhere to hide, she will find you
Better run from me
Tempting your worse desires
[Verse 2: Fabio Lione & Alissa White-Gluz]
When I turned on my device of alienation
You were draining out all my identity
You're not obligated, social isolation
And you are trapped by your own vanity
[Chorus: Fabio Lione & Alissa White-Gluz]
The black widow's web
She silently waits for a chance
Once you're caught she gets hold of your life
Better run from me
Then her poison will make you blind
You can't hide
The black widow's web
She'll be carefully spreading her net
You have nowhere to hide, she will find you
You can't hide
Tempting your worse desires
'Cause you're mine
[Guitar Solo]
[Post-Chorus: Alissa White-Gluz]
Your need of attention made your blind
Now your identity is mine
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge: Fabio Lione with Livia Dabarian]
She may look so innocent
You were fooled by charming eyes
Better face the consequence
From her reckless heart
Don't be frightened, little one
I never meant to harm you
Trust me now come closer here
And taste my kiss of death
[Chorus: Fabio Lione & Alissa White-Gluz]
The black widow's web
She silently waits for a chance
Once you're caught she gets hold of your life
Better run from me
Then her poison will make you blind
You can't hide
You better face the fact
That no matter how fast you react
She will always be there to strike you
You can't run from her
Enticing your worst desire
'Cause you're mine
[Outro: Sandy]
Black widow spider's on the wall
Weaving a fragile web
Patiently works her thread
Quiet she lies there waiting
For your time to fall
