After The Witch Lyrics

If you're a sinner you know your place in life

If you're unholy, don't walk these woods at night

This forest it speaks and it calls to you in your dreams

So listen close darling, this tale isn't what it seems

Long ago down an ancient road in a place where the people don't tread

To haunted hollow in the center of the woods where even the air falls dead

They say a witch lived here, claim she stalked these parts

An old ghost from many years ago

No one left to tell the tale, so this is what I know

The young men went missing, the fairest women next

All those who returned claimed to have been hexed

Terror gripped over those in reach, unholy voices in the air

Madness struck and blood was sought, the holy lord fled in fear

If you don't believe in malicious beings, I advise you start believing now

Cause the beast it feeds on doubt and pain deep inside that rotting hollow

She promised sweets and delicious things and called to them in their sleep

They loaded guns and set the woods to burn to try a cure the evil things

After the witch, the madness stayed and it seemed to poison the land

Even in death, the terror held, and they fell into Satan's lap

Offers of prayers and sacrifice, they were left to feed on the weak

All were lost to despair and pain, and snuffed out with a scream

After the witch the beast set in and the forest where we now stand

Was given to the dark unholy things and cleansed of the touch of man

The shadows here still call for blood and I can tell you this I know is true

An offered soul, a pure sacrifice, and that is why I've brought you
