the iron witch - big scythe lyrics

[-narration by william s. burroughs]
“the practice of witchcraft has plagued man on this planet
since he first used… words.”
haxan! devil’s curse. servants of the flame
haxan! witchcraft. conjuring thy name
devil’s dance. satan’s trance. when the moon is round
necromancy, blasphemies, the cross turned upside down
all h-ll is here! the iron witch!
haxan. devil’s wax, earthen cloth and sticks
haxan. voodoo dolls. season of the witch
fatal spells, haunted bells, equinox draws near
lunacy, sorcery, gruesome shape shifter
all h-ll is here!
all hallows eve draws near
old hags on broom sticks
all must beware! the iron witch!
under the witches spell. arisen from the tomb
walking like a corpse. howling at the moon
“in the middle ages, evil spirits of antiquity
were transformed into demons; prowling about everywhere to tempt mankind.”
“to find out if the witch was guilty, she was made to undergo the water-truth
if she floats she was burned at the steak
and if she sinks, the judges thank god for her innocence.”
haxan! witchcraft. conjuring thy name
haxan! witches curse. lunacy aflame
confessions. obsessions with occult magic
incantations. inebriations. beware! the iron witch
[based on the 1922 silent film, ‘haxen’ by benjamin christensen.]
