lyrics

Many are of the opinion that there are no witches
But let them read Leviticus & they will find them in the time of Moses
& Isn’t that close enough?
Close enough to take her away
& hang her high at Tyburn come Monday

Witches
Can you hear them calling
Out of the wilderness
Witches
Can you hear them
Crying out for the love of the Goddess

The devilish practice of woman
Liaison with familiars
The charming of God’s children
The hexing of her neighbours
Walk her a round for confession
See if she will linger
Look for the marks upon her
Tell us what we want to know

Witches
Can you hear them calling
Out of the wilderness
Witches
Can you hear them
Crying out for the love of the Goddess

What time it is
Is time enough
It’s trouble time
It’s trouble time
For Witches

I see a trouble sign
Hawthorn in a house approaching
Come for my Rowan to cut her down
It’s so easy to overlook
I’ll climb a ladder to revenge me for the souls you took
