|
They journeyed far to Brocken Mountain pinnacle. |
|
A gathering of dread, an awesome spectacle. |
|
Each in his hand, a candle of black. |
|
Their faces grave, a deathlike mask. |
|
The prince assumed the person of the goat, |
|
Reigning upon his throne distant and far remote. |
|
The cauldrons boiled as the fires burned. |
|
The deep'ning shadows, two figures turned. |
|
Bubbling pots of ungents and potions, |
|
Flames revealing the obscene motions. |
|
Old hags murmur in evil ranting! |
|
Voices grow louder and join in the chanting. |
|
Infants' flesh they did offer |
|
For the prince to devour. |
|
Covens join, all combine, |
|
Powers strong, thoughts align. |
|
If witchcraft all the fools condemn, |
|
It turns around and crushes them. |
|
When good has been twisted, |
|
When good has been killed, |
|
Then love is resisted and blood will be spilled. |
|
Accursed ye'll be! |
|
From toes to eyes! |
|
Accursed ye'll be! |
|
Until ye dies! |
