Doppio / No. 44 / Silenziosa


It’s everyone favorite sinister witch-mom, No. 44. Well, maybe not so much of a favorite as of late, but I’m sure her hearts still in the right place. That being said she did sell her heart and soul to Satan like 200 years ago, so, for whatever good it’s worth in the first place. Her playlist’s main genre certainly revolves around dark cabaret and darker folk tunes. Theme-wise I had to at least nod to her bewitching charms and sinister secrets.

-D.H.


When you come to call on me that's why my eyes are glazed

I've been with the devil in the devil's resting place

I am loathe to say that I have been to stay

I've been with the devil in the devil's resting place

 

When he comes up from hell

Just to shake his tail

Oh, you better beware

The Devil's Swing

And the devil's got his tricks

Oh, when he shakes his hips

He yells, "666"

The Devil's Swing

 

I remember

The starry night we met

His hair black as jet

He wore a sigil of Baphomet

 

We'll drink a toast in the torture chamber

And you'll go down on a bed of nails

We'll rendezvous in cold blood

I'll tie you up to the third rail

 

And you once said, "I wish you dead, you sinner"

I'll never be more than a wolf at your door for dinner

And if I see you 'round like a ghost in my town, you liar

I'll leave with your head, oh, I'll leave you for dead, sire

 

If you dig under my feet, you will find things

That you don't want to see

Things that I hide deep down inside

A menagerie of the

Tragedy I caused and all of my flaws

And my demons, oh, if you'd seen

What would you do if you only knew?

 

Don't let him know

Don't let it show

You reap what you sow

Take this black rose

 

That wall of bones that holds our tongues in

Scared of all the taste bud rows of

Hands that speak to you and me

The sign, Rivolta Silenziosa

 

Got a secret, can you keep it?

Swear, this one you'll save

Better lock it in your pocket, taking this one to the grave

If I show you, then I know you won't tell what I said

'Cause two can keep a secret if one of them is dead

 

Holy water

Cannot help you now

A thousand armies

Couldn't keep me out

I don't want your money

I don't want your crown

See, I've come to burn

Your kingdom down
