Witches' Song

Witches' Song - Marianne Faithfull

Shall I see tonight sister

Bathed in magic greet

Shall we meet on the hilltop

Where the two roads meet

We will form the circle

Hold our hands and chant

Let the great one know

What it is we want

Danger is great joy

Dark is bright as fire

Happy is our family

Lonely is the ward

Sister we are waiting

On the rock and chain

Fly fast through the airwaves

Meet with pride and truth

Danger is great joy

Dark is bright as fire

Happy is our family

Lonely is the ward

Father we are waiting

For you to appear

Do you feel the panic

Can you see the fear

Mother we are waiting

For you to give consent

If there's to be a marriage

We need contempt

Danger is great joy

Dark is bright as fire

Happy is our family

Lonely is the ward

Remember death is far away and life is sweet
