Ballad of the Weird Sisters
Blood Ceremony

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 lusts

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
