lirik lagu blood ceremony - ballad of the weird sisters
outside the city walls
where the darkest thickets grow
returning home from foreign lands
we dreamt of our near homes
when at once we heard a-hissing
– was it a devil or a snake?
had we heard the sounds of laughter
that dangerous women make?
three hags our way stood staring
they beckoned us their way
we followed them along a hidden path
towards their dwelling place
inside a fire was burning
and a table had been laid
they offered us a strange brew
with a devil of a taste
my friend and i we had great thirst
we drank our cups bone dry
but stranger yet was the drink’s effect
“it’s witchery!” i cried
eye of newt and mandrake root
the devil’s foot in brine
a fever-dream took hold of me
souls danced before my eyes
my treachery, my wicked l-sts
the many stolen wives
the souls of those whom i had wronged
shared tales of my past crimes
indeed, i was not all alone
to hear their strangled cries
my fellow and these sisters
through this my guild surmised
and lo, i saw what must be done
for the gallows called my name
i’d cut its tongue under a demon sun
yea, in good health i’d remain
in a flash i drew my dagger
and my fellow screamed with pain
then i turned upon the sisters
to them i did the same
at once the room it filled with blood
and the horror of their cries
this night a murder banquet
a feast of ruined lives
possessed were they with fortune’s gift
and yet they were surprised
three sisters should have better known
than to let this devil inside
