The Witches' Night

[Verse] In the shadow of the highlands Where the mist kisses the shore By the ancient stone circles Hear the banshee's silent roar In the twilight they gather With herbs and whispered spell 'Neath the northern lights a-dancin' Heed the stories they foretell [Verse 2] Raven cloaks and silver daggers Under starry Halcyon skies From the fjords to rugged valleys Rise the echoes of their cries In the cold embrace of Yggdrasil They chant 'round burning twine Winds from Odin's breath a-howlin' Through the groves of oak and pine [Chorus] Witches of the ancient broods Weave your magic in the night With the power of the old gods Let your wisdom touch the light Dance around the blazing fire 'neath the moon so cold and pale In the land of myth and legend Sing the witches' haunting tale [Verse 3] With cauldrons black as midnight Brewing potions wild and free Mead flows in their sacred coven 'neath the twisted bramble tree No king nor Viking warrior Dared to break their mystic charm For the witches hold the secrets Of the tempest and the calm [Bridge] In the songs of yore and echoes In the whispers of the stream Live the ancient spells and stories Guiding us through eldritch dreams From the lochs to icy mountains From the heather to the sea In their spellbound eyes lies power Of the mysteries unseen [Verse 4] Bear the mark of runes 'a glowing On their hands and in their hearts In the light of glowing embers See the sacred moths depart Blades carved from the stone of lifetimes Rings with fire's blessed sign Through the hallowed groves they wander In the midnight so divine
