Witch Lyrics

[malkmus]

These are Witch lyrics my friend mainly typed out and I edited a bit, there is a fair bit of confusion about what is being sung at times, at worst I marked it with a (?) It would be cool if anyone else out there who is fk’ed on Witch would contribute their thoughts of what is being sung if they have a better idea or a difference of opinion.

Seer

I was always a mad man
just a sad man
I had no future no
until one day
Yeah I met a man
I took his hands
WWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

He was an old man
his hair was white
and he had a long beard
blinded eyes he held me
he took one look
in his crystal ball
he saw it all

WWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

He said boy what I saw
was a strange sight
I did not recognize
for you are I
and I am you
and we are both two (?)
WWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Soul of Fire

Hold on t-t-together baby
gotta get out of here
hollow moon is rising
and the sky is clear
so I got a feeling
I got a frenze (?) frenzy (?)
of burning fires
till the darkness ends

Oh see the witch you can see now (?)
gotta let your mind go
gotta free your body
gotta have a drink now
I’ve seen the serpent
I’ve seen the spirit
oh the smoke has told me
that I cannot hold it
Look out!

Black Saint

In the mountains of the earth yeah
all wings in the air
all cause boughs burning
sun was turning into darkness
there rose a lady with the blackest waves off

This succubus comes in the twilight
hieratic fire all black and burning
a son and man she did conceive with
and on the bed there were dead angels

In the corner of the basement
there lies a baby in the cabbage patch
where spirits walk with burning candles
there is no sunshine in this evil house noooo
noooo

Little child in the garden
in the distance tolls no grim row bell (?)
he throws a coin into the water
when there’s a demon in his wishing well
ha ha ha ha haaaa

Changing

Black magic
all around
sky above us
to the ground
magic circle
magister
don’t get seen now
don’t be heard

Dark magic
all around
all is evil
poison sound
sky above us
zodiac
stars are burning
into black

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

hahaha

Black magician
conjurer
Solomon’s key
speak the words
pentagram
and pentacle
haunt the planets
every ancient signal

Rip Van Winkle

Once upon a time
oh there was a man
up on a hill
he went to sleep ohhhh

Oh when he awoke
oh there was a man
they took a walk
down a path ohhhh

These very mountains
place of enchantment
these very mountains

Oh they did walk on
oh the king was there
and everyday
these tiny men
bearded and silent
he drank their drink
he went to sleep ohhhh

when he awoke
too his surprise
flowers around him
moss grew upon him
one with the tree
he had grown old
he had grown old
he had grown OLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!

Hand of Glory

Severed hand
hanging there
sprinkles on whore (?)
among other things
in a jar
prepare the candle
pour the incense on me (?)
virgin wax and corpses
hands (?)

Hand of glory
hand of glory
hand of glory
hand of glory

Hand in hand
I walk alone
I walk with fire
through streets of gold
happy people
they are gone
evil ways
are all I know
evil ways

Hand of glory
hand of glory
hand of glory
hand of glory

those who rest (?)
or do we sleep
are those awake
at vigils keep
hand of glory
shed the plight
and point us to
unspoken lies (?)

godessss
godessss

Isadora

When I was young
oh just a young boy
ohhhh ohhhh
I fell in love
she came to me
just a young girl
ohhhh ohhhh
and she entranced me

Inside the smoke of the incense
ohhhh ohhhh
she lay my body
ohhhh ohhhh
she looked at me and she held me
ohhhh ohhhh
and then she hexed meeee

Isadora
Isadora
Isadora
Isadora
Isadora
Isadora
Isadora
Isadora
Isadora
Isadora
Isadora
