Shadows and Fire

Loves shadows and hates fire

Whisper softly my hearts desire

To a cold dead moon

As the old demons howl

The ground in terror will tremble and shake

 

A bloodless murderers hand

Into my steaming cauldron is thrown

Long toothed Blue bats wing from northern caves

Mixed with enchanted grave dust stolen from the fairy land

 

Out of my blue colored feather covered bag

A tiny sticky yellow red eyed frog

One shiny two horned pinching beetle

That will bite no more

Into the ***

Three long gray hairs from a rabid dog

 

I sing the song humans fear

The notes fall upon frightened ears

My words travel deadly and silently

A venomous arrow into the night

Laying upon my victim

A fine coverlet of blindness

By spell removing their sight

 

Loves shadows and hates fire

Whisper softly my hearts desire

To a cold black dead moon

As the old demons howl

The ground in terror will tremble and shake
