Pagans danced in a circle
Twirling round and round
Surrounding Stonehenge on Samhain
Creating energy – creating

The Season of the Witch
Survived throughout the ages
Settling in northern lands
Twisting, turning, mutilating

Using disguises of all kinds
Mutating in the modern
Changing your look – jack-o-lanterns
Skeletons, green face – dangerous

What happens to fear when it’s laced
With pain dulled by the drink?
What happens to disgust when drugged
With unbelief?

Take off the mask the warning goes out
The trick is death of the innocent
The treat is a dance with the devil in
The season of the Witch
