Copacaballa

By the pricking of your thumbs
Something wicked this way comes
By the pricking of your thumbs
Something wicked this way comes
I am the most accomplished surgeon
Of moral deformities
I am professor of energy
Napoleonic electrifier of souls
Your glorious palaces are hospitals
Set amid cemeteries
There's an outsider inside
Where no one can hide
There's an outsider inside
Where no one can hide
I am the most accomplished surgeon
Of moral deformities
I am professor of energy
Napoleonic electrifier of souls
I am an eternal vessel for forces that nestle
For forces that sleep in the minds of the weak
And even as you've been 'thout your nightly dreams
Explained it all from your giant books
Not even as you've been 'thout your nightly dreams
Explained it all to me from your giant books
You made me feel
I would never be alone
You knelt me down
To kiss the bones on your throne
The angles small
Or still in their moorings
Of Leviathan distortions
Casting out
Casting out your nets of darkness
Casting out
I'm casting you out
[repeated]
Smear thyself with the vixen's tan
And beware the bloody steps of man
Smear thyself with the vixen's tan
And beware the bloody steps of man
I want to be a stranger
Become a shape changer
Your glorious palaces are hospitals
Set amid cemeteries
[repeated]
I'm trying to strip the silence away
High up there with thy hiss
That's where all the magic is
High up there with thy hiss
That's where all the magic is
