Hexennacht from Hexennacht by Momy Fortuna

Hexennacht is a brooding ballad about a witch making an offer to nearby village children…an invitation to be rid of their shame, their abusers, and the repression from their pious communities by simply flying away. But the tempting spoils of living deliciously in this powerful coven comes with the small price: signing their name in the book of the beast!

"I absolutely adore the title track on the album, 'Hexennacht'. It's a slow gothrock ballad that is quite bluntly hypnotic and perfect. The keys and drums slamming down at the same time in the beginning of the song catch my immediate attention, as Bones' voice paints a siren-like calling. The violin soothes the soul as the drums tick menacingly along to the beat. The bass guitar is used to grand effect, culminating with the other instruments for the best song on the album. 'Hexennacht' is also able to transition from set-piece to set-piece throughout its five-minute duration with ease. Throughout the week I spent with it, not once did I bore of it and I constantly found myself impatiently awaiting its arrival on the album."

Lyrics

Come come come
come with me children
to the sabbath
where we will fly
with Abaddon

Honey, butter
and a swine my child
while mankind all pluck their eyes
my satan will bring you the sight

Come now my child
sign over your soul
and be free
and we will fly

Come come come
the wind is our lover
the fire our mother
the creatures our children
that we hold close
we will live forever
while man suffers heaven
we all dance round the fire
come now my child sign over your soul
and be free with me
no more suffering
in the sabbath you’ll never be lonely
come now my child
sign over your soul
and be free
and we’ll fly
come come come
