DevilDriver - Iona Lyrics

DevilDriver Lyrics

"Iona"

Sick and twisted
She stands with a lion's roar
Leaves you breathless!
Down and out, but never counted
So count her in!

Doomed and haunted
A vicious midnight stare
The weight so heavy!
Cloaked in black
With a vicious midnight stare
She leaves you breathless!

Everyone knows death walks on these roads
Everyone knows there's sights unseen
Everyone knows death walks on these roads
Everyone knows there's sights unseen

She carries a black rose
She carries a black rose!
Effigy from the story closed
She carries a black rose!

Sweet Iona, she's so bloodthirsty
All men better beware
Not her gaze, her fucking violent stare
She leaves you breathless!

Everyone knows death walks on these roads
Everyone knows there's sights unseen
Everyone knows death walks on these roads
Everyone knows!

She carries a black rose
She carries a black rose!
Effigy from the story closed
She carries a black rose!

Have you ever been in love?
Love is a killer!
Have you ever been in love?
Have you ever been in love?
Love is a killer!
Have you ever been in love?
Love is a killer!
Have you ever been in love?
Love is a killer!
Everyone knows
Everyone knows love is a killer!

She carries a black rose
She carries a black rose!
Effigy from the story closed
She carries a black rose!

"Iona" is the second single from DevilDriver's double album "Dealing With Demons". The track was exclusively premiered on Music Choice channel on the 30th of June 2020.

Frontman Dez Fafara says about "Iona" and the demons that inspired the track: "It tells the story of the long dead ghost of Iona and her obsession with death represented by the black roses in her hands – each one the soul of someone she's taken from this life on a lonely dark road, assimilating their souls into black roses, which she carries for eternity. This theme relates to myself and 'Dealing With Demons' in that, often times, we as people have a hard time 'letting go' of things. This can be applied to relationships, death, and so on. Iona carrying the black roses symbolizes her inability to move on – always seeking revenge. The past is exactly that – the past – it's important to let go and not be stuck in a perpetual loop of living in it."
