Death Or Life

(album: The Book Of Fire - 2020)

She went for the mass in the January rain
Chaste and as lovely as sin
She walked down the path by the course of the stream
Turned right at the watermill inn
She trudged through the mud til she suddenly saw
Something shiny by the side of the lane
She bent down to pick up a very beautiful ring
And then she was nevermore seen again

Hey, hey sorceress say
What's in your crystal ball?
Hey, hey sorceress say
Say, can you see them all
Hey, hey sorceress say
What do you see tonight?
Hey, hey sorceress say
Do you see death or life?

He went after class on a bright day in May
To herd all his family's goats
He sat down in the grass and he was dreaming away
To a world of seamen and boats
He snoozed in the sun til he suddenly spied
A lambkin head cut in twain
He jumped up to run home and left the cattle alone
And then he was nevermore seen again

Hey, hey sorceress say
What's in your crystal ball?
Hey, hey sorceress say
Say, can you see them all
Hey, hey sorceress say
What do you see tonight?
Hey, hey sorceress say
Do you see death or life?
