Bring Down The Witching Hour Lyrics

Pools of black eternity

 Sweeping down on brightly burning fires

 When comes the righteous ones

 Bringing the servants of leechy throngs

 

 Angels, remembering every promise

 Black vise crushing the feathers white

 Come pain deliver us in darkness

 Unknown, the promise of their demise

 

 Intercepting a world

 Dwelling in disbelief

 

 Were able to exterminate

 You Down-to-Earthlings

 With truth that would toss you into suicidal grief

 What renaissance this hour will bring

 

 Dark grimoires of sorceries

 Filled with spells of cursed conjurations

 Bring down the witching hour

 From earth to ashes we all shall fall

 

 Those eyes, ebony enchanted

 Pass on the undenying truth

 Of youth there isn't any left

 What came from this insanity?

 

 Bring on pain and suffering

 The answer for crimes

 Plead as much you can

 You liar, you fucking liar

 

 Pools of black eternity

 Sweeping down on brightly burning fires

 Bring down the witching hour

 From earth to ashes we all shall fall

 

 Free men, shall come as the unwanted

 Forcing the old ones to leave in vain

 At last denial bringing justice

 Cruel fate, they are forever slain

 [This lyric was done as a sort of homage to all the witches that died at the stakes in medieval Europe. The lyric was done some time before Narrenschiff joined the band, but it was a lyric that both he and I liked a lot so we decided to keep it as it was.The lyric is all about how the righteous people of the church killed all these women and the masses loved them for it. But now, today the witches are returning in great numbers and today we have no hallowed men to slay them for their knowledge. In the studio we found that it could do with a couple of lines and Narrenschiff added the final touch, so it's basically a joint effort. The title itself is partly inspired by Anne Rice and her Mayfair Witches.]
