A Hex On Your Head

They always say never
fuck with a witch

But you have
and now there's a bad situation
a bad situation

I'm gonna put a hex on your head
a hex on your head
I'm gonna put a hex on your head
a hex on your head

They always say never
fuck with a witch

You should have kept your claws in your hands
your claws in your hands

You should have kept your tongue in your mouth
your tongue in your mouth

You should have kept your words in your throat
your words in your throat

They always say never
fuck with a witch


Black Dog

Can you see the black dog over there
can you see the black dog over there
can you see the black dog over there
it follows me it follows me

Can you see the blood in its eyes
can you see the blood in its eyes
can you see the blood in its eyes
that blood is mine that blood is mine

Can you see the heart on its tongue
can you see the heart on its tongue
can you see the heart on its tongue
that heart is mine that heart is mine

Can you see the black dog over there
can you see the black dog over there
can you see the black dog over there
it follows me it follows me


Cave Mouth

I'm in a cave
and it's dark here
oh it's dark here

I'm in a cave
and it's dark here
oh it's dark here

So I take out my heart
and I hold it up

I take out my heart
and I hold it up

It shows me a way
but it's gonna take a while to get there
it's gonna take a while to get there

Will you be there
at the cave mouth
at the cave mouth

Oh will you be there
at the cave mouth
at the cave mouth

I'm in a cave
and it's dark here
oh it's dark here


Cry

It's ok to cry
It's ok to cry
you tried
you tried

It's ok to cry
It's ok to cry
you tried
you tried

It's ok to hide
It's ok to hide
you tried
you tried

It's ok to hide
It's ok to hide
you tried
you tried

You have my hands in yours
You have my hands in yours
it's ok it's ok

It's ok to cry
It's ok to cry
you tried
you tried

Ghost Heart


Look at it my ghost heart
my ghost heart
Look at it my ghost heart
my ghost heart

I put a knife to my chest
I make a thin incision in the skin
and pull it back slowly and with care

I use my fingers to hollow through the flesh
and scoop out my sick organ

Move it around on your palm
notice how quiet it is
not even a hum
and pale pale as the candles
I'm burning from sun up
to sun down

Now give it back
I must care for it
until it is soft again
until it sings


Howl

Suckling the skulls of children
heartsick for the wolf
who left her for the moon

She howls the way he taught her
hoping to bring him back
though nothing can bring him
down from the sky

Suckling the skulls of children
heartsick for the wolf who left her
for the moon


I Woke Up Wolf

This morning
I woke up wolf

not woman but wolf
not woman but wolf
I woke up wolf
canis lupus vuk vik
ulv susi varg

I woke up
I woke up wolf

I woke up mottled grey fur
I woke up dirty

I woke up sharp teeth
I woke up heavy head

I woke up moon
inside my heart

I woke howling

I woke up
I woke up wolf


Run With Us

The wolf he spoke to me and he said
what are you waiting for run
run with us run with us

The wolf he spoke to me and he said
what are you waiting for run
what are you waiting for
run with us

The wolf he spoke to me and he said
what are you waiting for run
what are you waiting for
run with us

Outside the wolves are singing
and I must go
there is much to hunt before I sleep
before I sleep

The wolf he spoke to me and he said
what are you waiting for run
run with us
what are you waiting for run
run with us

So I I ran with the wolves and I sang in their chorus
and I knew life again again

The wolf he spoke to me and he said
what are you waiting for run
run with us
what are you waiting for run
run with us


The Pale Fox

I told him not to go to the forest that day
not to take the pale fox's life away
he came back that night with her over his shoulder
fur and eyes white as elderflowers

My Mother said
your Father will go mad
the forest will see to that
the forest will see to that.

My Mother said
your Father will go mad
the pale fox will see to that
the pale fox will see to that

I follow the path back to a silent den
I find the cubs there, tiny and white
I move them down, deep into the earth
I fill the den in

locking them deep within
locking them deep within
locking them deep within

My Mother said
your Father will go mad
the forest will see to that
the forest will see to that

My Mother said
your Father will go mad
the pale fox will see to that
the pale fox will see to that

The fever starts, oh quite suddenly
Father goes to bed, to bed for days

He talks of nothing nothing but the foxes
that come every day, that come every day

I bury her one night, just inside the woods
and that night he dies, my Father dies

My Mother said
your Father will go mad
the forest will see to that
the forest will see to that

My Mother said
your Father will go mad
the pale fox will see to that
the pale fox will see to that


Woman Of The Way

Hands weathered like the ancient cliffs
bloodlines painted bright onto her skin
outstretched in the rain she brings forward
all the memories of forgotten myths

Tracing the knowing on her face
maps of times long ago
she’s travelled beside many silent
footsteps towards paths foretold

She is the oak rain and sun
mother to all mother to none
from antler to tooth wing and bone
she is felt near she is our home

(Lyrics by Meghan)


Wendigo


My Father is late
returning home

The sun is soon to set
the windows have gathered
fresh frost

My Grandfather scrapes
the panes clear
with the side of his axe

He stands at the window
as night falls fast

My Mother she wishes
we lived closer to town

She's afraid of the wolves
and what they may have done

Grandfather says I told him not to go
for I heard the song of the Wendigo

He will come home Wendigo
or never or never or never

He will come home Wendigo
or never or never

The night is all storms
when Father comes home

His face is nothing I know

Through the window we watch
him stalking the house

For hours the door rattles
before he learns how to get in



Witch Of The Northern Forest

The witch in the northern forest
flies with no broom beneath her

You know you're entering her territory
when the air turns bitter in your mouth
and you find a circle of animals rotting
which all look as though they're smiling

There's a witch in the forest
there's a witch in the forest
there's a witch there's a witch there's a witch

There's a witch in the forest
there's a witch in the forest
there's a witch there's a witch there's a witch

There's little time before she arrives
the one whose ancestors laughed at the stake
while flames licked away their flesh

The witch gathers up the small children
in her arms like wild flowers

There's a witch in the forest
there's a witch in the forest
there's a witch there's a witch there's a witch

There's a witch in the forest
there's a witch in the forest
there's a witch there's a witch there's a witch

Never a trace is discovered of these
lost ones except crying heard
from between the trees



Black Moon

They say her heart is of the dark
with a mouth of a lioness and devious tongue
an astral habit gone awry
as she guards pylons lit with flame
some call her the whore of the universe
swallowing man whole
but it is she who reigns in freedom
hearing the dead and sending them home
treacherous one Lady of the Flame
transformation a collective unconscious
as souls pass after death to lunar rebirth
she remains at her gate shadows at her feet

(Lyrics by Meghan)


Pesta

It's 1349 and in Askøy Norway
on a boat the plague arrives

one man sees her leave
carrying a rake and a broom

before the boat is set alight
and pushed back into the sea

Pesta Pesta
will she take your life
or spare it for now

Pesta Pesta
will she take your life
or spare it for now

Word it spreads like wildfire
folk lock their windows and doors

but Pesta goes from farm to farm
it's impossible to keep her away

If she carries her rake
there's chance of escape
if she carries her broom
you're doomed

You'll be swept you'll be swept
you'll be swept away
you'll be swept away by her broom

Pesta Pesta
will she take your life
or spare it for now
Pesta Pesta
will she take your life
or spare it for now


Wolf In The House

Granddaughter come down from your bedroom
there's a wolf in the house
Granddaughter come down from your bedroom
there's a wolf in the house

He says that he knows you
he knows you he knows you
he says that he knows you he knows you

Granddaughter come down from your bedroom
there's a wolf in the house

He says that he met you
one cold winter night when the moon was full
and the snow was bright

He says that he met you
one cold winter night when the moon was full
and the snow was bright

Granddaughter come down from your bedroom
there's a wolf in the house

He says you're to go
you're to go with with him now
he says you're to go with him now

Granddaughter come down from your bedroom
there's a wolf in the house

The wolf he's growling he's snarling at me
I fear I fear I'm to die

The wolf he's growling he's snarling at me
I fear I fear I'm to die

Granddaughter come down from your bedroom
there's a wolf in the house



Black Annis

One day two brothers set out to find
the oak where Black Annis is said to hide
and wait for children to walk on by to walk on by

As they go they recite a verse
well know, well known, well known
since they were small
each eager to impress the other

Don't go to the Dane Hills
Black Annis haunts them
Black Annis she kills

Don't go to the Dane Hills
Black Annis haunts them
Black Annis she kills

There's the oak
the elder says to the younger

There's the oak
where Black Annis hides

The young lad
feels the air it change

His throat becomes dry
it no longer feels like a game
he knows she flays children alive

The lads run fast
they don't look back
they look back

Once home the elder boy smiles
he laughs and slaps the back of his brother

Don't go to the Dane Hills
Black Annis Haunts them
Black Annis she kills

Don't go to the Dane Hills
Black Annis Haunts them
Black Annis she kills

One by one the family fall fast asleep
but the youngest lad is wide awake
as the coals in the fire grow cold

Then he hears at the window
a soft, soft, tapping

So peeks from under his blanket
he peeks from under his blanket
to see, to see the face of Black Annis
to see the face of Black Annis

Don't go to the Dane Hills
Black Annis Haunts them
Black Annis she kills


Banshee

In a small, stone cottage
on an lonely moor
a child is born

But from outside
awful cries rise and rise
they rise and rise

When the banshee beckons
you must go you must go
when the banshee beckons
you must go you must go

At the window drifts a woman
eyes red from weeping
she beckons through
the window pane
the window pane

When the banshee beckons
you must go, you must go
when the banshee beckons
you must go you must go

The mother staggers out
her child in arms her child cries
then gone are they
gone are they gone are they



Lycanthrope

When the maiden sipped
from the mountain stream
she didn't know the waters
were infused with dark magic
of another time

Lycanthrope lycanthrope lycanthrope

And when the moon was next at the full
A lust for killing claimed her heart
it claimed her heart

And she rose in the form of a wolf
she rose in the form of a wolf

Lycanthrope lycanthrope lycanthrope

Children began to vanish
the townsfolk hunted far they hunted wide
for the beast with four clawed toes

Nothing was suspected of the beautiful maiden
she spoke not a word for she knew the stake
would be the price she would pay

Lycanthrope lycanthrope lycanthrope


Only Night Now

My stories take longer to tell
I'm cold I think I'm almost gone

Night it's only night now
no more blinking in the sun
night it's only night now
time's a wound a painful one
night it's only night now
night it's only night now

I thought my soul would scale the mountain
I thought I'd find the path again

Night it's only night now
no more blinking in the sun
night it's only night now
time's a wound a painful one
night it's only night now
night it's only night now



Barghest

A sickle moon hangs in the sky
and a young man travels
a narrow country lane  
he knows home isn't far away

But blazing eyes watch him oh blazing eyes watch him

Barghest Barghest
hear its howl and you'll lose your life
Barghest Barghest
hear its howl and you'll lose your life

As a child his mother told him
of a black beast with burning red eyes
which if appears before you you're sure to die
but he laughed at the tale oh he laughed at the tale

Barghest Barghest
hear its howl and you'll lose your life
Barghest Barghest
hear its howl and you'll lose your life

It's when the moon slips behind cloud
that he hears the howl of the Barghest
and he wishes he'd stayed home by the hearth
home by the heart with his mother

Barghest Barghest
hear its howl and you'll lose your life
Barghest Barghest
hear its howl and you'll lose your life


When She Walks

When she walks
the pines they moan and whisper
crows hide their heads in their feathers
wild beasts dare not breathe

He shouldn't have come to the forest alone
he shouldn't have come here at all

The blacks of her eyes the blacks of her eyes
reflect nothing

He shouldn't have come to the forest alone
he shouldn't have come here at all

His final breath is a scream
that's heard for the best part of a mile
his final breath is a scream
that's heard for the best part of a mile

He shouldn't have come to the forest alone
he shouldn't have come here at all


Beyond Us

Beyond us there's a ghost
your hands are almost cold
in mine in mine

You recognize its shape
and whisper to me
it's her she's here

And I know I've lost you
and now you'll go
to the other side
and only I'll know why
only I'll know why
only I'll know why

Beyond us there's a ghost
your hands are almost cold
in mine in mine


Hecate

Mother of witches
Queen of ghosts
Keeper of Hell's keys
Bringer of storms


I Follow The Wolves

I follow the wolves
I run in their tracks
I open my throat
I'm not coming back
