lyrics

Sweet girl it’s now your day
And borrowed love can wait
You might not be so blue
When they come for you
With dark and love

There’s flowers on the ground
And bodies all around
It’s a long walk down that aisle
The old ones start to smile
As you say I do

So take my love
And throw my life away
And I’ll take you my love
And the dark you embrace

Skin pale as ice
Shadows in her eyes
Dress flowing white
My sweet valentine

You and your kin
Washed us away
Will never see the light of day
Oh my love

The darkest of days await
At the end of this aisle
For my bride or my funeral

You and your kin
Washed us away
Will never see the light of day
Your eyes embers
Ladies in gray
Feed on weak love
Blackest of days

And I’ll wait at
At the end of this aisle
For my bride or my funeral

Sweet girl it’s still your day
And your borrowed love can’t wait
You might not be so blue
When they come for you
With dark and love

Old Gods of Appalachia is a horror-anthology podcast set in the shadows of an Alternate Appalachia, a place where digging too deep into the mines was just the first mistake. ... more
