Lyrics
Witches
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There are witches in the hills calling my name
Saying come join us sister come kiss the flame
Come dance in the moonbeams, ride the night winds
Make love to the darkness and laugh at man's sins
I shiver with delight, I shiver with fear
My heart wants to go but my soul's filled with fear
So I turn to my lover and ask, what do I do
Do I answer their call or stay here with you
But under spell of deep sleep he moans and turns away
Taking his protection and my desire to stay
So I rise to the hills, I ride the night winds
I make love to the darkness and I laugh at man's sins
