White Witch (Original Mix​/​Master)

by Andrew James Barker

/
1.
The sun split wide open Bleeding white light Awoke a demon in my psyche Gave me second sight Folklore Holy war Sodom and Gomorrah Forevermore I can foretell the future I can read the minds of men All but one thing Eludes my sight The hand of my demise The fall of modern times saw Rise of feudal tribes My gift begets retribution my vengeance is my right Folklore Holy war Sodom and Gomorrah Forevermore
2.
Oil of vitriol An ink dye cast into the sky Its fumes bled Into my eyes Blinded by The black, black magic The sweet oil of vitriol The morning star Lands in an Entangled bank The arms trade Foxhole vixen is Fixing the fight For the men of leisure And the men of war The match-locked black powder Two-headed minotaur Men of leisure Men of war
3.
On the edge of the woods Under a spells hood Imprisoned in A den of sin The white witch condemned In the pearl of the moon The light bends To meet again Imprismed I grew up inside of it I grew up in the light of it Darkness has befallen our kind We'll set her free and turn the tides A curse on he who sets me free Trapped inside the pearl of the moon I grew up inside of it I grew up in the light of it
4.
The Plague freed from the Arctic ice Not of this world Comes from beyond Reduces their minds Down to black and white To create an army Of corrupted ones Ohh Their skin Is shapeshifting The wind howls Like a banshee Her song is her raft On the storm That's brewing Her White figure bound in light the Siren soothsayer white witch (Instrumental verse) They lay siege by night The Slaves of disease She cracks the sky Lays all to waste Calls on the gods to Break their bones From the summit To the shore Their watery grave Ohh Their skin Is shapeshifting Ohh ohh ohh The wind howls Like a banshee Her song is her raft On the storm That's brewing Her White figure bound in light The Siren soothsayer white witch

She floats on the undertow In the seagrass meadows as The moon aligns and Pulls back the tide Pulls the sun down Pulls the nightgown Off her thigh The crystal water is casting I look into my past At all the hearts I've won With all the spells I've spun I wish I could forget She floats on the undertow In the seagrass meadows as The moon aligns and Pulls back the tide Pulls the sun down Pulls the nightgown Off her thigh The crystal water is casting I look into my past At all the hearts I've won With all the spells I've spun I wish I could forget
6.
I hold you in the palm of my hand A smooth seashell buried in the sand A white orb pearl of the moon I want to smash your alabaster shell into a thousand fortunes To spill the spoils from within your womb Cool breeze swinging off kilter gate Earth apple crystal ball in a cage Peer into it's light the Pearl of the moon the Pearl of the moon You couldn’t raise your breath In these fields Turn their world Onto it's head Unstitch the web They thread us through An oracle shield Drive deep the needle Into the marrow of white ore Drive deep the needle To the pearl of the moon Cool breeze swinging off kilter gate Earth apple crystal ball in a cage Statued marble girl The Pearl of the Moon The Pearl of the Moon
7.
A modern-day dark age A Divided time Between United tribes The opened sun’s Splintered light shone Brought the rise of An unearthly kind Evolutions spell Conflict between ancient beliefs Wars waged over the Earth's Inheritor Traitors In league, enslaved by greed Enemies of we who seek to be free Visionary blind man Enlightened second sight Totem rising sun To guide our women and men Two worlds To war Dark triad, chord of a warlord His tyrant soul balances our fate In the faith of man
8.
The siren in the cove Enveloped me in her song Serpents tendril tongue Sung lyrics of envy The pilgrims’ requiem Condemned me to eternity Cursed rain for centuries Turned me into the beast That haunts the depths Of the sea There’s a darkness hidden within the Intervals of her beautiful melody I have played the fool (though my aim was true) A leader of men with forced hands (head in the sand) Freed the white witch With a siren’s serenade Lost ourselves, lost our way (as the shortening days) Spun the almanac’s pinwheel Back when the world was flat Petrified family tree Sapling dynasty There’s a darkness hidden within The intervals of a beautiful melody
