i feel the tendrils clinging baby
got this forever restless feeling
illuminated by a black sun, watch the birth
come together in a godless union
watch the beast as he lays his eggs now
something so monstrous and overwhelming,
watch the birth, watch the birth
i am your boy i'm your girl
newborn and old as the world
i'll make your fire burn cold
turn all your shit into gold
can't stomach the site but you see
you can never look away from me
watch the birth, watch the birth
you can never look away from me
watch the birth

don't run round the church now wean
lest your luck run out this evening
as the church bell tolls for the chime hour
through the mist on the emerald moorland
comes an unseen force that has no name
it seeps through the cobbled streets
as the clock strikes three
running widdershins
inverts the sun
when the whist hound is howling
you better run
against the horns of the hunter
what use is a gun?
now we've displeased the ancients
there'll be no time for fun
leave the scissors by the dresser darling
or they'll come and they'll snatch you from your bed
don't invite the ire of the spirits
but now they're coming to drain the marshland
to cut down the trees in the forest
woe betide he who ignores his history
