On a Wicked Night

Hey my lady in black
Now I see you're back
Haven't seen you for a while
Kinda miss your deadly smile

On a windy night
On a windy night
On a wicked night
On a wicked night

Hey my lady in death
Have you come for my last breath?
I never thought
That we were through
I bet you knew I knew it too
I never thought
That we were through
I bet you knew that I knew it too

On a windy night
On a windy night
On a wicked night
On a wicked night

Hey my lady in black
How nice to have you back
I haven't seen you for a while
I kinda miss your deadly smile

Hey my lady in death
I see you've come for my last breath
I never thought that we were through
I bet you thought I never knew yeah


 - Danzig (2010)

In 2010 I had the privilege of attending the Blackest of the Black tour stop here in Houston, TX.  The lineup was incredible - Withered, Toxic Holocaust, Possessed, Marduk, and of course, Danzig.  To be honest, I was a little wary of seeing Glenn Danzig live, as in 2008 I saw him live (for the very first time) and that performance left a lot to be desired.  In 2010, however, Glenn was on point and delivered one hell of a performance.   But that's enough for this trip down memory lane.

Deth Red Sabaoth is the most recent album from Danzig, the band fronted by Glenn Danzig, who also spent time as the frontman for punk acts Samhain and The Misfits.  "On a Wicked Night" was either the first or second single off the album.  It was one of his most popular songs since "Can't Speak" from Danzig IV.  

I'm not going to lie - Glenn Danzig probably won't go down in history as a master lyricist.  Many of his songs deal with evil, sex, evil sex...  you get the picture.  As such, I'll let this one speak for itself in terms of meaning.  What do you all think?
