Lyric inspired by Marvel's 'Agatha All Along: The Ballad of the Witches' Road


Lyric:

Seekest thou the road to all that's foul and fair
Gather sisters fire, water, earth and air
Darkest hour, wake thy power, earthly and divine
Burn and brew with coven true and glory shall be thine 

Down, down, down the flame
Down the binding curse
Down, down, down the flame
Down the binding curse
Down, down, down the flame
Down the witches’ curse

Down the witches' curse
Circle bound with blood and fate

Unseal the cursed flame
Marching ever onward
’Neath the circle’s mark
I wander not astray
I grasp the hand of fate
Eternal night, giveth sight
The shadow at my side
If stars should fade, we still remain
Darkness is our guide

Down, down, down the flame
Down the binding curse (down the binding curse)
Down, down, down the flame (down the binding curse)
Down the binding curse (down the binding curse)
Down, down, down the flame (down the binding curse)
Down the binding curse (down the binding curse)

Blood and tears and bone
Maiden, Mother, Crone

The flame is dark and wicked
Burning through the soul
Where all that's bound shall break
And curses take their hold
Through endless trials of ash and fire
We wander night and woe
Face your dread, the path is red
The time has come to go

Down, down, down the flame
Down the binding curse (down the binding curse)
Down, down, down the flame (down the binding curse)
Down the binding curse (down the binding curse)
Down, down, down the flame (down the binding curse)
Down the binding curse (down the binding curse)

Follow me, my friend
To glory at the end
The curse is cast,
the flame shall burn — there is no return.

ICO - The coven

When a shadow watches you from afar, something bad is about to happen...

hiding in the corner of your eye, where you can see it but hardly notice it.

Getting closer, day after day, while you sleep, while you close your eyes while bathing, it's getting one step closer each time.

And when you least expect it, a blink could be your last.

ICO - The shadow

This is the end,
Family gone, taken by death!
A curse upon them,
So bright, now so cold—
This is the family’s end.

Taken by greed,
A murderous hand, they can’t escape.
The kingdom of lies,
Where all of them will die.

By tears and rain,
The world will cry.
There is no light,
The fate has been decided!

This world will cry, and never be the same,
For the greed of a man brought the family’s end!

The gods are silent, and all of them gone,
Just a whisper in the dark extends a hand—
Not to save, but to avenge!

When the rain cries upon this land,
Death will not be their end.
And one day, the family will be together
Again...
