Hexennacht

Hexennacht

Once in the dead of night, I felt a shiver down my spine

A call, a beckoning, to join the witches' grand design

The skies were dark, the moon obscured, the air so thick with fog

And as I stumbled through the mist, I felt my heart agog

My feet were weary, my thoughts a blur, as I approached the grove

The trees loomed tall, the shadows deep, and fear began to rove

I heard a cackle, felt a breeze, and suddenly I knew

I was not alone, but in the midst of witches, old and new

They gathered 'round a fire bright, and danced a frenzied dance

Their eyes aglow, their voices high, they were in a trance

I felt a pull, a tug, a yearning, to join in their delight

To cast off all my mortal shackles, and revel in the night

The witches chanted, called upon the ancient gods and sprites

They called for power, for wisdom, for the gift of second sight

And as they danced, their circle tight, I felt a sudden chill

For I knew that once I joined them, I'd be bound to their dark will

But still I longed to join their dance, to cast my fate to chance

To leave behind my mortal form, and join in their romance

I stepped into the circle's midst, and joined in their wild glee

And as I danced, I knew that I was lost eternally

The night wore on, the fires burned, and the witches cast their spells

And as I watched, my mind grew dim, and I heard their dark propels

They spoke of power, of life and death, of magic pure and true

And as they spoke, I knew that I had found my calling too

So now I walk the witches' path, and dance on Hexennacht's eve

I cast my spells, I call the gods, and I never will deceive

For I have tasted magic's might, and it flows within my veins

And on the night of Hexennacht, I know I'll never be the same.
