Bring Down The Witching Hour Lyrics - Singles - Illnath

Pools of black eternity 

Sweeping down on brightly burning fires 

When comes the righteous ones 

Bringing the servants of leechy throngs 

Angels, remembering every promise 

Black vise crushing the feathers white 

Come pain deliver us in darkness 

Unknown, the promise of their demise 

Intercepting a world 

Dwelling in disbelief 

Were able to exterminate 

You Down-to-Earthlings 

With truth that would toss you into suicidal grief 

What renaissance this hour will bring 

Dark grimoires of sorceries 

Filled with spells of cursed conjurations 

Bring down the witching hour 

From earth to ashes we all shall fall 

Those eyes, ebony enchanted 

Pass on the undenying truth 

Of youth there isn't any left 

What came from this insanity? 

Bring on pain and suffering 

The answer for crimes 

Plead as much you can 

You liar, you fucking liar 

Pools of black eternity 

Sweeping down on brightly burning fires 

Bring down the witching hour 

From earth to ashes we all shall fall 

Free men, shall come as the unwanted 

Forcing the old ones to leave in vain 

At last denial bringing justice 

Cruel fate, they are forever slain 

[Bring down the witching hour - Comments] 

[This lyric was done as a sort of homage to all the witches that died at the stakes in medieval Europe. The lyric was done some time before Narrenschiff joined the band, but it was a lyric that both he and I liked a lot so we decided to keep it as it was.The lyric is all about how the righteous people of the church killed all these women and the masses loved them for it. But now, today the witches are returning in great numbers and today we have no hallowed men to slay them for their knowledge. In the studio we found that it could do with a couple of lines and Narrenschiff added the final touch, so it's basically a joint effort. The title itself is partly inspired by Anne Rice and her Mayfair Witches.]
