Witch Of The Northern Forest

from The Dark Has Teeth by Cave Mouth

/

lyrics

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
