A brutal killing spree laid down in history Then myth, then legend soon forgot And, where the blood was spilt, another city built Man’s hubris trumps it’s thought
Merchants, kings, wastrels, and thieves Sit counting up their wealth Each thinks himself immune to the reaper’s knell
"...And if you disobey The witch will take you away" A children’s rhyme all that remains As such, a group of youths Seek to unearth the truth Deep in the swamp they stray
And with the moon on high Their bodies bathed in light A silhouette against the sky With pride, surveys the gore And with a hand, she cracks the earth and hell pours forth
Legions of a demonic plague Spewed forth to do her will A thousand years she’s waited for the kill
She’s back! The bloodshed resumes tonight To satiate grim appetite Her will iron, her magic black Clutch your cross and lock your doors She’s back
This time I can’t defeat her As she boils me alive And just for fun, she turned my insides out (Jake: There’s no way you’ll survive) Torture devout, she wins no doubt The last thing I recall Before my lungs collapse My life elapsed, she set the trap My remains Swampwitch will scrap
The bravest of the fight And cowards all alike Have been in death now equalized With no one left to grieve Or to avenge the deed The orchids keep their secrets And over time reclaimed By ash and elm again Beneath the swamp it will remain Painted in gray and green A ruin so serene Til the next fool rebuilds in vain
She’s back! The bloodshed resumes tonight To satiate grim appetite Her will iron, her magic black Clutch your cross and lock your doors She’s backTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
