Anointing ourselves We are carried by the night Through the air to distant lands To do our black magic rites Witch-cult? This cult Gathered under the full moon Witch-cult? This cult We’ll be coming to get you soon We are not Satan’s brides Though they think it to be Our senses liberated We wake well and merry Witch-cult? This cult Gathered under the full moon Witch-cult? This cult We’ll be coming to get you soon Witch-cult? This cult Gathered under the full moon Witch-cult? This cult We’ll be coming to get you soon

On an island In the Baltic Sea A wise woman old Britta Cunning as can be Don’t fear the wise woman She reads diseases in wine She learned to heal the sick Punished for her unholy crime The white witch The cunning folks Their power comes from the land From the plants and the oaks Don’t fear the wise woman She reads diseases in wine She learned to heal the sick Punished for her unholy crime Don’t fear the wise woman She reads diseases in wine She learned to heal the sick Punished for her unholy crime

Witchy Woman 05:06
Raven hair and ruby lips Sparks fly from her fingertips Echoed voices in the night She's a restless spirit on an endless flight Woo-hoo, witchy woman See how high she flies Woo-hoo, witchy woman She got the moon in her eye She held me spellbound in the night Dancing shadows and firelight Crazy laughter in another room And she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon Woo-hoo, witchy woman See how high she flies Woo-hoo, witchy woman She got the moon in her eye Well, I know you want a lover, let me tell you, brother She's been sleeping in the Devil's bed And there's some rumors going 'round, someone's underground She can rock you in the nighttime 'til your skin turns red Woo-hoo, witchy woman See how high she flies Woo-hoo, witchy woman She got the moon in her eye
