The Witch of Night

In the woods near Manchester by the sea there lived a little old lady
She only wanted to be left alone in her world carefree
She had many pets they were her friends, and she would tend to her garden
Nobody knew she was out in the woods on her own lived as a crone
Then one day she was out on the grass with the sun on her skin
Being one with the soil feeling it's love deep within
When the boys came running through the trail they saw her standing nude
And off to town to tell the priests they'd seen a witch down by the stream

The men as a group came hunting into the woods their torches burning bright in the night
They pulled her out and beat her up and dragged her off to town
They killed her pets and stomped her plants
There was nothing left of her shack

She lived a life of beauty in solace with the earth
The rainbows and the butterflies often talk to her
She tried so hard to stay away from that awful world
The evil men created the envy and the hurt
And she would walk on her own along by the sea
Near the rocks and raging waves her friends they always would be
She never knew her ending would be a tragedy
When they took her away from her nature family
Ten years later on a starry spring night
The town saw a figure walking in the moonlight
Approaching the gates swung open with a sound
As the wind swept in with the fiercest howl

A figure in black walking with a line of pets behind her
A pumpkin in her hand with a long green faced nose
The ground began to quake and shiver
The flames began to burn and cinder
The people ran there would be no escape
They finally knew the time had arrived
When The Witch of Night would make it right
And take her revenge upon the men

To be turned into ash all alone and scared
The look of terror in their eyes all alone and scared
And all of the town was burnt to the ground
She walked away with her pets in a trail behind her
Under the moon in the gloom she would return too
And be alone in the woods where she would remain to this day
And all of the town was burnt to the ground
