lyrics

Like a light through the window
Was the hair on her head
But the sea cast a shadow
As the men claimed her bed

Flash of steel silver
Buried in your mind
Lungs fill with water
The witch will reveal her true sign

What possession could this be?
Bodies sink like a stone
And the blood forms a selkie
Diving down far below

Fear like a serpent
Buried in your mind
She will awake it
The witch will behold what you hide

All you men with your cravings
See the fate that awaits
Your soft heads are for striking
And make a home for her blade

She knows the secret
Buried in your mind
Who else could take it
The witch is the last of her kind
