lyrics

It comes in the night,
close the door and keep your eyes shut tight,
for the hour is approaching,
and the banshee screams.

Now I know,
what it’s called,
hallowed name.

And while we’re asleep,
the hauntings of our mind will keep,
us trapped in between this world,
and the dream world,
with no hope of an ending,
we must wait in limbo ‘till it’s over,
until the morning comes.

Now I know,
what it’s called,
hallowed name,
witching hour.

I believe, oh I believe in love.
On the horizon lies the, on the horizon lies the dawn
With the dawn it brings the, with the dawn it bring the light, la la la la light
With the light it brings the, with the light it brings the horns.
Seven horns to break the black sky falling down, but I will not heed the call.
Because I’ve learnt to love myself and I’ve learnt to love the beast
I’m a happier heathen now than I ever was at peace,
now I must face the night and stop being a coward and even learn to love the witching hour.

A high voltage neon tapestry weaving together pieces of the past and visions of tomorrow, a sunset disco in a stone circle, sonic heathenry at its finest, a cosmic renaissance man who's perpetual search for self and sound has no end. ... more
