The Lady in White

Have you met the lady
The lady in white
She walks through your corridors
Every damn night
She haunts every corner
But she's gone with the light
Have you met the lady
Have you met the lady

Have you met the lady
The lady in black
She sits in your rocking chair
And sways forth and back
She guards o'er your homestead
Like it's under attack
Have you met the lady
Have you met the lady

So mothers grab your daughters
And fathers grab your sons
Cos no one's guaranteed
To still be breathing when the morning comes

Have you met the ghost
At your door at the dawn
She comes in the twilight
But by morning she's gone
She lurks in the shadows
Makes it hard to move on
Have you met the lady
Have you met the lady

So lovers grab your lovers
And husbands grab your wives
Cos no one's guaranteed
To make it out with their lives

You only get one shot
You only get one chance
Cos you're not owed a thing
You'll lose it in a glance

You better risk it all
And lay it on the line
Cos the Promised Land don't promise shit
You'd better bear in mind

And oooooooo
He's coming for you
With his cloak and his scythe

And oooooooo
There's not a thing you can do
To escape him alive

Have you met the man
He's been looking quite grim
You can try to survive
But your chances are slim
He summons those ladies
His call is this hymn
Take heed of the lady
Be freed by the lady
Take heed of the lady
Be freed by the lady
