A Thousand Witches

By the Rivers of Babylon

We slept and did not see

The Light That Is Leaving Us All

So now–consider the generation of witches

A thousand witches in the room

Whilst the birds are sweetly singing

A thousand witches

In the house in the fields

In your heart

Inside them all is Endor

A thousand witches in Lower Quinton

A thousand witches by Hagley Wood

Ann–Agnes–Anna–Hannah

Sixteen witches in Long Compton

And The Light Is Leaving Us All

And if he had his way he'd kill them all

So dog and mouse in the LightLess house

Alice–Christian–Christine–Christianne

Dog and the bird

And the swift swallows sing

Elizabeth–Eliza–Isobel, Isobella

Bella–Luebella–Betty

And the LORD put forth

His Hand against Ellen

And arise arise two thousand eyes

A thousand witches in the carnival sky

Helen–Alyne generate night

A thousand witches

In the breasts of the valley

A thousand witches in the carnival sky

Joan–Jane–Jean–Joanna

A thousand witches

In the fountains and plants

And the birds are sweetly singing

So–Margaret–Meg–Maggie–and Peggy

Fox and Wolf and Goat and Crow

And Marion–Mary–May–Maria

A thousand witches fingers and teeth

And claws and snow and Lord Low Moon

Huddles over the naked planets

With the birds so sweetly singing

The Light Is Leaving Us All

All the birds are sweetly singing

The Light Is Leaving Us All

All the birds are sweetly singing

The Light Is Leaving Us All

All the birds are sweetly singing

The Light Is Leaving Us All
