"Witches' Song" lyrics

"Witches' Song"

Shall I see you tonight, sister
Bathed in magic grease
Shall we meet on the hilltop
Where the two roads meet?
We will form a circle
Hold our hands and chant
Let the great one know
What it is we want

Danger is great joy
Dark is bright as fire
Happy is our family
Lonely is a ward

La la la la la la la
La la la la la

Sister we are waiting
Cover up in shade
Fly fast through the airwaves
Meet with pride and truth

Danger is great joy
Dark is bright as fire
Happy is our family
Lonely is a ward

La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la

Father, we are waiting
For you to appear
Do you feel the panic?
Can you see the fear?
Mother, we are waiting
For you to give consent
If there's to be a marriage
Beneath contempt

Danger is great joy
Dark is bright as fire
Happy is our family
Lonely is a ward

La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
Remember death is far away and life is sweet
