Onyx wore a ring on two fingers   one on either side   Saying they brought him all kinds of powers   like in mythical times   Onyx dressed in Sicilian leather   I liked him for his style   And he'd step out in the wind and the rain   to meet me with a smile   Saying, "Hi" "Hello, Onyx"      A friend of mine, she did warn me about him   said he had her up against a wall   but I didn't listen, I already knew   he had a terrible side and a terrible mind   People, they told me the things that he'd done   and I would never believe   'cause he was never like that with me      Fathers, be warned, lock up your daughters   We get drunk to the cruelest kind   Rider of the storm, unlock your door   and keep me warm with your gentlest side      See, Onyx and I was as black as each other    and needed no other, it began to smother him   and it began to smother me   Are you still thinking of me?   Yes, I'm still thinking about your love   It wasn't so easy to lie to Onyx    but it was whole-heartedly done      Said, Fathers, be warned, lock up your daughters   We get drunk to the cruelest kind   Rider of the storm, unlock your door   and keep me warm with your gentlest side      He said, drag your bones, go down to the river,    we get washed and wash the tears away   He said, drag your bones, go down to the river,    we get washed and wash the tears away   He said, drag your bones, go down to the river,    we get washed and wash the tears away      For a long time, I heard nothing from him   for almost a week and a half   He didn't have friends of the closest kind    to inquire for his whereabouts      Fathers, be warned, lock up your daughters   We get drunk to the cruelest kind   Rider of the storm, unlock your door   and keep me warm with your gentlest side      When the river calmed, they saw a body, his brown boots, in the thick black dirt.
