Cover art for Drawing the Devil lyrics by Drop Dead, Gorgeous

"And the Devil's own hand was knotted by the Pastor"

I think the knotting refers to the fact that she was hanged. Also, I think the murderer may be either a religious figure or very religious, judging by the amount of Christian imagery in this album (look at Donner, Party of Five and It's Pretty Hard to Beat the King for examples).
