Whipping Post

in a shadow-black corner of the world

in a town far and remote

I gave my soul for a promise

now I'm damned to walk alone

her eyes were the work of an angel

her heart was the devil’s design

and our blood ran together

even angels can lie

back where I started this life

chorus:

on the whipping post

in a faded word of a whisper

like a ghost by a lonely grave

she left me for the promise of another

now the blood is stained

her face was the work of an angel

her love was the devil’s design

and she fades forever

even devils can die

back where I started this life
