lyrics

They gather round the natal bed
The foolish and the wise
They fear the child yet to be born
Whose voice shall rend the skies
The faithful watch the forest for
The coming of the King
With lanterns bright, await at night
The end of everything

The princess’s in the tower ever
Hidden far away
But nothing under heaven wrought can
Keep the groom at bay
They gather round with leering smiles
The soulless and the dead
Though she unwinds, the cruelest minds
Will keep her in her bed

The cretin moon no more is howling
Gone its mourning black
In their dreams its face is prowling
Come to take them back
The King is in his courting clothes
The brides are in their beds
The unborn princes wait in sleep
To raise their eager heads
Six were broken by their bindings
Six no more shall sing
Comes the seventh full unwinding
All the bells will ring

When the first had given birth
The birds no more would sing
Her screaming cries would shake the skies
As she called out for her King

By doctor’s blade the second bade
A life into the world
Untimely hewn ´neath silent moon
And out of life was hurled
His bride the third remained unheard
Her cries for help ignored
She stopped her life with surgeon’s knife
And gave it to Our Lord

The fourth prepared a dagger sharp
And placed it at her heart
The perfect cure cannot make pure
What Kings have set apart
The fifth one’s crown was bearing down
Upon her troubled head
Their rite of ail would smite and fail
Once more creation bled

On the sixth’s day, the walls gave way
The oceans turned to ash
The heavy toll on caring souls
Almost let the King pass
The seventh bride will break the tides
The moon no more will shine
There comes a day not far away
She’ll birth the death of time

about

Witchcult Copenhagen, Denmark

WITCHCULT is a Danish black metal group originally concieved in 2014 by Besat, Spedalsk and Benedictus on guitars, vocals and drums respectively.

The music is a blasphemous unity of the violent and the vicious, the sinister and the sepulchral. It was concieved to reflect the liturgical format of the lyrics, devoted to Satan and the way of the witch, each a cantata in a sacrament in his name.
