Witches Gather

Wandering back, back in time oh what have you learnt?
 Of all the blood that was spilled of all the witches burnt
 Filth and greed, vicious deeds, the holy rise and fall
 Killing in the name of the one who died for you all
 Centuries, centuries the wait has been so long
 Now you would expect intolerance to be gone
 Still the ones who yearn for a sigh of relief to come
 Are seen as outcast sinners, blasphemous unholy scum
 Thirteen souls, the witches of the coven
 Hiding in the shadows of the night
 Blessed be their wombs without which we would not be
 Born in freedom, bred to heal the world
 Set to burn at the stake, the heartless witches bane
 Sisters of free spirit, cursed to die in vain
 Hammer crushed, blood gushed, skin was ripped apart
 Devilment and church-beasts, butchers of the magical arts
 Nightshade cloves, hemlock groves, the cauldron starts to boil
 One-two double trouble, one-two double toil
 Wool of bat, owl's claw of wolf the tooth, the gulf and maw
 They lived as living scarecrows and that's all what we recall
 Unclouded souls, the witches of the coven
 Dancing naked on the Sabbat Night
 Blessed be their hearts without which we would not love
 Born in freedom, bred to heal the world
 On a broomstick they fly before sunrise
 Persecuted with fear hunted down
 On a broomstick they run away from their homes, their own homes
 Fly away from this natural born chaos
 To a hidden place for the weak and diverse
 I watch them with pity in the darkness
 (See the fire that burns away
 See, it slowly fades away)
 Breathing in darkness, walking in darkness
 We won't be living another day
 Breathing in darkness, walking in darkness
 We won't be living another day
 The witches still gather round a circle of fire
 Together side by side, under the starlit sky
 The witches will gather and their spirits will fly
 Together side by side, in the middle of the night
 I ride, I ride with them in a circle of fire
 Beyond, save me, save me
 What's bad to all of you is good, so good to a little few
 Watch out 'cause they are going to burn you, burn in hell
 Carmen – White queen of evil
 Dub – The darkness
 Dother – Black daughter of evil
 Dian – The violence
 The sea of blood is running
 All the pain of the innocent will remain
 The moon high above is watching and praying and showing her love
 Like a star deep in the night,
 she'll start to shiver and will look so bright
 The sea of blood is running
 All the pain of the innocent will remain
 The moon high above is watching and praying and showing her love
 Like a star deep in the night,
 she'll start to shiver and will look so bright
 On a broomstick they fly before sunrise
 Persecuted with fear hunted down
 On a broomstick they run away from their homes, their own homes
 Fly away from this natural born chaos
 To a hidden place for the weak and diverse
 I watch them with pity in the darkness
 (See the fire that burns away
 See, it slowly fades away)
 Breathing in darkness, walking in darkness
 We won't be living another day
 Breathing in darkness, walking in darkness
 We won't be living another day
 The witches still gather round a circle of fire
 Together side by side, under the starlit sky
 The witches will gather and their spirits will fly
 Together side by side, in the middle of the night
 The witches still gather round a circle of fire
 Together side by side, under the starlit sky
 The witches will gather and their spirits will fly
 Together side by side, in the middle of the night
 I ride, I ride with them in a circle of fire
 Beyond, save me, save me
 What's bad to all of you is good, so good to a little few
 Watch out 'cause they are going to burn you, burn in hell
 And the day will fade like a stream that is dying
 There won't be any circle of stones, nor magical rites, no more
 We tried to come, we wanted to show you the goodness of the stars
 Of the moon but you failed miserably and we paid, we paid, we paid
