Black Moon

They say her heart is of the dark
With a mouth of a lioness and devious tongue
An astral habit gone awry
As she guards pylons lit with flame
Some call her the whore of the universe
Swallowing man whole
But it is she who reigns in freedom
Hearing the dead and sending them home
Treacherous one Lady of the Flame
Transformation a collective unconscious
As souls pass after death to lunar rebirth
She remains at her gate
shadows at her feet

Pesta

It's 1349 and in Askøy Norway
on a boat the plague arrives
one man sees her leave
carrying a rake and a broom
before the boat is set alight
and pushed back into the sea
Pesta Pesta
will she take your life
or spare it for now
Pesta Pesta
will she take your life
or spare it for now
Word it spreads like wildfire
folk lock their windows and doors
but Pesta goes from farm to farm
it's impossible to keep her away
If she carries her rake there's chance of escape
if she carries her broom you're doomed
You'll be swept you'll be swept
you'll be swept away
you'll be swept away by her broom
Pesta Pesta
will she take your life
or spare it for now
Pesta Pesta
will she take your life
or spare it for now

There's a witch in the forest
there's a witch in the forest
there's a witch there's a witch there's a witch
The witch in the northern forest
flies with no broom beneath her
You know you're entering her territory
when the air turns bitter in your mouth
and you find a circle of animals rotting
which all look as though they're smiling
There's a witch in the forest
There's a witch in the forest
There's a witch there's a witch there's a witch
There's a witch in the forest
There's a witch in the forest
There's a witch there's a witch there's a witch
There's little time before she arrives
the one whose ancestors laughed at the stake
while flames licked away their flesh
The witch gathers up the small children
in her arms like wild flowers
There's a witch in the forest
There's a witch in the forest
There's a witch there's a witch there's a witch
There's a witch in the forest
There's a witch in the forest
There's a witch there's a witch there's a witch
Never a trace is discovered of these
lost little ones except soft faraway crying
heard from between the trees

Wolf in the House

Granddaughter come down from your bedroom
there's a wolf in the house
Granddaughter come down from your bedroom
there's a wolf in the house
He says that he knows you
he knows you he knows you
he says that he knows you he knows you
Granddaughter come down from your bedroom
there's a wolf in the house
He says that he met you
one cold winter night when the moon was full
and the snow was bright
He says that he met you
one cold winter night when the moon was full
and the snow was bright
Granddaughter come down from your bedroom
there's a wolf in the house
He says you're to go
you're to go with with him now
he says you're to go with him now
Granddaughter come down from your bedroom
there's a wolf in the house
The wolf he's growling he's snarling at me
I fear I fear I'm to die
The wolf he's growling he's snarling at me
I fear I fear I'm to die
Granddaughter come down from your bedroom
there's a wolf in the house

Cave Mouth Michigan
Cave Mouth is a musical project one as haunting as it is beautiful, minimalist as it is epic. Where literary musings meet a
visceral soundscape invoking mythic visions and heartfelt fables.
Cave Mouth is a transatlantic band and is the brain child of Meghan Wood (Crown of Asteria) and writer Katie Metcalfe.
