Witch of the Woods Lyrics

by Mara

A tale of the curse of the witch.

lyrics

A village secluded from the world

Encompassed by the forest

Villagers of the old world

Live their life in solace

Lore of the past now abandoned

Tales of old now legends forgotten

An evil that has lingered for ages

Lies just beyond the horizon

The pale white sky turns gray

The village, shadowed by the darkness

Black fog poisons the air

Upon them is naught but despair

The plague infects each person

Some go mad with deliria

They feed on human flesh

Innocents are doomed to death

Next came a black swarm of crows engulfing the sky

Pecking flesh off their bones, the mutilated die

Skulls exposed, half alive, the children left to rot

The crows left the village in utter distraught

The mark of the witch embedded in their skin

Marked for suffering, they have no choice, but give in

Unable to endure this calamity

They slit their throats and free themselves from agony

The villagers attempt to flee

Escaping through the forest

The woods shift and transform

But they return, right back where they came from

“Tis the witch from the old tales!”

“We’ll not survive if she is not but burned”

She has the village writhing in her clutch

The curse of the witch leaves no soul untouched

Ten men descend through the forest

To rid the accursed plague

Burn the witch and behead her

The sun did not rise for days

Weary and fatigued

They reach the witch’s den

“Alas, we have come to rid our affliction!”

“Come forth you filthy witch”

Emerging from where she lies

Entombed for a thousand years

Speaking in tongues she cries

“Coming here will be your demise”

A few men raise their blades

Eyes turn white and no one can escape her gaze

Paralyzed, maggots exit every orifice

To the ground they fall unvictorious

The others run, but they explode into a bloody mist

One soul is left in the witch’s midst

Spare me!

He is special

She consumes to awaken a dormant necrotic being

Limbs burst from her body

Constructed from rotting flesh

Now the transformation is complete

She heads to the village to reap
