Scythe - The Iron Witch lyrics

[*Narration by William S. Burroughs] “The Practice of witchcraft has plagued man on this planet Since he first used… words.” Haxan! Devil's Curse. Servants of the flame Haxan! Witchcraft. Conjuring thy name Devil's Dance. Satan's Trance. When the moon is round Necromancy, Blasphemies, the cross turned upside down All Hell is here! The Iron Witch! Haxan. Devil's Wax, Earthen cloth and sticks Haxan. Voodoo Dolls. Season of the witch Fatal Spells, haunted bells, equinox draws near Lunacy, Sorcery, gruesome shape shifter All Hell is here! All Hallows Eve Draws near Old hags on broom sticks All must beware! The Iron Witch! Under the witches spell. Arisen from the tomb Walking like a corpse. Howling at the moon “In the middle ages, evil spirits of antiquity Were transformed into demons; prowling about everywhere to tempt mankind.” “To find out if the witch was guilty, she was made to undergo the water-truth If she floats she was burned at the steak And if she sinks, the judges thank God for her innocence.” Haxan! Witchcraft. Conjuring thy name Haxan! Witches curse. Lunacy aflame Confessions. Obsessions with Occult magic Incantations. Inebriations. Beware! The Iron Witch [Based on the 1922 silent film, ‘Haxen' by Benjamin Christensen.]
