Ballad of the Weird Sisters - Blood Ceremony[00:00:00]
Outside the city walls[00:00:28]
Where the darkest thickets grow[00:00:31]
Returning home from foreign lands[00:00:33]
We dreamt of our near homes[00:00:37]
When at once we heard a hissing[00:00:40]
Was it a devil or a snake [00:00:43]
Had we heard the sounds of laughter[00:00:46]
That dangerous women make [00:00:49]
Three hags our way stood staring[00:00:58]
They beckoned us their way[00:01:01]
We followed them along a hidden path[00:01:04]
Towards their dwelling place[00:01:07]
Inside a fire was burning[00:01:11]
And a table had been laid[00:01:14]
They offered us a strange brew[00:01:16]
With a devil of a taste[00:01:19]
My friend and I we had great thirst[00:02:04]
We drank our cups bone dry[00:02:07]
But stranger yet was the drink's effect[00:02:10]
"It's witchery" I cried[00:02:13]
Eye of newt and mandrake root[00:02:16]
The devil's foot in brine[00:02:19]
A fever dream took hold of me[00:02:22]
Souls danced before my eyes[00:02:25]
My treachery my wicked lusts[00:02:34]
The many stolen wives[00:02:37]
The souls of those whom I had wronged[00:02:40]
Shared tales of my past crimes[00:02:43]
Indeed I was not all alone[00:02:46]
To hear their strangled cries[00:02:49]
My fellow and these sisters[00:02:52]
Through this my guild surmised[00:02:55]
And lo I saw what must be done[00:03:45]
For the gallows called my name[00:03:48]
I'd cut its tongue under a demon sun[00:03:51]
Yea in good health I'd remain[00:03:54]
In a flash I drew my dagger[00:03:58]
And my fellow screamed with pain[00:04:01]
Then I turned upon the sisters[00:04:03]
To them I did the same[00:04:06]
At once the room it filled with blood[00:04:10]
And the horror of their cries[00:04:13]
This night a murder banquet[00:04:15]
A feast of ruined lives[00:04:18]
Possessed were they with fortune's gift[00:04:21]
And yet they were surprised[00:04:24]
Three sisters should have better known[00:04:27]
Than to let this devil inside[00:04:30]
