Witches Wind

Gather and be told
A cup of cocoa isn't warmth
Only fire keeps the sisters of the moonlight off your porch
In the fullest moon, the silver light is oddly cool
See the sisters dancing skyclad in the field to lure the fool
Oh, the shepherd's weak
The witches watch him drink his keep
While statuettes of Mother Mary watch the children sleep

Only with blood spilled from child to stone can they raise an evil unknown
So keep your family safe at home or their next child will be your own

When the werewolves howl, and the sky turns black
The witches wind blows on your back
Can you hear them screech out in the yard?
First, the floorboards creak
Now, the door's ajar

Only with blood spilled from child to stone can they raise an evil unknown
So keep your family safe at home or their next child will be your own
Only with blood spilled from child to stone can they raise an evil unknown
So keep your family safe at home or their next child will be your own

Oh, mercy
I cannot tell you if a prayer does any good
But I say 'em each night regardless
Mercy, I cannot tell you if a prayer does any good
But I say 'em each morn regardless
Mercy, I cannot tell you if a prayer will do you any good
It's your life alone

When the morning comes, the shepherd rises with the sun
Stumbling feet and mumbling words to curse the night for being done
But the quiet looms for much too long
Go to check their room, but the child is gone
