Winter Witch

Winter Witch
I am the winter witch you see
I have earned this great degree
And now I sing the song
Of the great banshee
And
Learned to set my spirit free
Oh why did it take me oh so long?
To accept and learn the words to this song
To embrace the power oh so strong
First I had to dance to the depths of sadness
Travel on the brink of madness
Fly to the heights of sorrow
Longing for tomorrow
When all of this would pass
Knowing my heart would shatter like glass
Little did I know, I would surpass
And graduate at the head of my class
Little did I know it was all just a test
To be separated from all the rest

Could I embrace the thought of being alone?
Could I handle the power of the crone?
Could I hear the silence of the throne?
Could I sing a song of death?
While offering others the promise of breath
Would I be strong enough to drink the blood?
Or taste the flesh that separates us from all the rest
Could I grind the bones and make the dust
That turns us all from love to lust
To call upon the winds that gust
To be the scales of things unjust
While others look at me with disgust
Finally I know of inner trust

I am the winter witch you see
I have earned this great degree
And now I sing the song
Of the great banshee
