lyrics

V1
Pilgrims come hear my tale
Of caution and of awe
The road is lined with daffodils
But it is very long
The innkeepers may give you bread
The monks keep mortal law
But don’t misstep into the night
Lest you tangle with her claws

C
Witch witch witch
In the night
Witch witch witch
Digging her plight
Witch witch witch
We die tonight

V2
You’ll catch a scent of rotting doves
Your throat will be stripped dry
Only pause a moment lest
You hear her jagged cries
Bones will crackle, tendons snap
An ancient flesh machine
Her shoulders nearly pierce the sky
As she digs so very deep

C
Witch witch witch
In the night
Witch witch witch
Digging her plight
Witch witch witch
We die tonight

Br
She comes up from her tunnels
Late at night
Her eyes are milk
They’ve seen no light
Fingers spiral
To rock hard nails
Which never break
She never fails
She digs all night
Abhors the day
Living on worms
And human prey
Don’t tread on her
Get in her way
Lest your journey end
As flesh decay
