A thousand witches


By the rivers of Babylon
We slept and did not see3
The light that is leaving us all
And so now consider the generation of witches
A thousand witches in the room
Whilst the birds are sweetly singing
A thousand witches in the house, in the fields
In your heart
Inside them all is Endor
A thousand witches
In Lower Quinton
A thousand witches
By Hadley Wood
And Agnes, Anna, Hannah
Sixteen witches in Old Compton
And the light is leaving us all
Then if he had his way
He'd kill them all
So dog and mouse
In the lightless house
Alice, Christiane, Christine, Christy-Anne
Dog and the bird
And the swift swallows singElizabeth, Eliza, Isabelle, Isabella, Bellalou, Bella, Betty
And the Lord put forth his hand against Ellen
And her eyes, her eyes
Two thousand eyes
A thousand witches in the carnival sky
Helen, align, generate night
A thousand witches
In the breasts of the valley
A thousand witches in the carnival sky
Joan, Jane, June, Joanna
A thousand witches in the fountains and plants
And the birds are sweetly singing
So Margaret, Meg, Maggie and Peggy
Fox and the wolf
And goat and crow
And Marianne, Mary, May, Maria
A thousand witches, fingers and teeth
And claws and snow
Lord, low moon
Huddles over the naked planet
With the birds so sweetly singing
The light is leaving us all
All the birds are sweetly singing
The light is leaving us all
All the birds are sweetly singing
The light is leaving us all
All the birds are sweetly singing
The light is leaving us all

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Current 93 is a British experimental music group known for its eclectic style, working since the early 1980s in folk-based musical forms. Founded in 1982 by David Tibet (born David Michael Bunting, renamed 'Tibet' by Genesis P-Orridge prior to forming the group), the project features a dark and visionary approach to folk music, blending elements of traditional music, psychedelia, drone, and poetry. Current 93 has collaborated with numerous artists, including Coil, Nurse With Wound, and The Legendary Pink Dots, contributing to the definition of the dark ambient and experimental music aesthetics. Some of their most representative tracks include 'Earth Accomplice', 'The Stars Are Not For Us' and 'Aleister Crowley'.
