about

She lives on the edge of the wilderness close to the thrice tenth land. She may help you or she may eat you. She flies through the forest & leaves no trace. Is she a memory or a reality?

lyrics

Baba Yaga is the Devil’s Grandma
She’s riding through the forest with the night & the dawn
& the red red sun is shining among her

Baba Yaga has always been here
Between the confusion & the love & the fear
She’s dancing in the corners
Stealing away

Her fascination shines
You’re running out of time
She’s one step ahead of you

Skull & bones surround her home
Call her in the moonlight in her hour
Do you think you have the knowledge
Do you think you have the power

Baba Yaga is an unseen force
An invisible river she’ll run her course
Right through your heart she’ll tear you in half

Her fascination shines
You’re running out of time
She’s one step ahead of you

Here in the cold of the winter in the deep dark wood
Baba Yaga takes you for a fool
She’s incredible
& finds you edible
You can’t defeat her
You’ve got to run
