Witches in the Shadows

THE WITCHES IN THE SHADOWS [Intro – whispered, mother & daughter] Mother: When the moon turns red… Daughter: And the shadows start to breathe… Mother: There are things in this world… Daughter: That only witches see. Both: We were born with the old magic. ⸻ [Verse 1 – Mother] By day I wear a smile and play the human game, Sit behind a desk while they forget my name, My boss talks down like I’m something he owns, But I hear every thought running through his bones. I can feel his anger before he speaks, I can turn his fury into something weak, One little thought and his temper disappears, I could rule his mind… But I hide it here. ⸻ [Verse 2 – Daughter] I walk beside Mum but they don’t see me, I bend the air and disappear completely, A coffee cup rises when I move my hand, A paper flies though there’s no wind in the land. I can pull the water from the sky, Turn invisible right before their eyes, Move the earth without touching the ground, And make the darkest demon lose what it has found. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – Both] Mother: Fire in my blood… Daughter: Storm inside my veins… Mother: Earth beneath my feet… Daughter: Water answers when I call its name. Both: Four elements… One ancient line… Mother: Your power is mine— Daughter: And yours is mine. ⸻ [Chorus – Both] WE ARE THE WITCHES IN THE SHADOWS! DAUGHTERS OF THE MOON AND FLAME! MOTHER HOLDS THE FIRE AND EARTH, DAUGHTER CALLS THE WIND AND RAIN! SHE CAN READ YOUR EVERY THOUGHT, I CAN VANISH FROM YOUR SIGHT! SHE CAN BEND YOUR HEART WITH MAGIC, I CAN MOVE THE WORLD TONIGHT! Mother and daughter, blood runs true, Four elements between us two. You can hide from every human eye… BUT YOU CAN’T HIDE FROM WITCHES LIKE US. ⸻ [Verse 3 – Mother] I grow the roots beneath the stone, Make mountains shake with a whispered tone, Flames rise when I open my hand, Earth itself will obey my command. I know what you’re thinking before you speak, I can turn your hatred mild and meek, I can fill your heart with fear or peace, Or silence the rage with a single release. But demons are different… They don’t feel the same. ⸻ [Verse 4 – Daughter] I call the rain from a cloudless sky, Send a hurricane screaming by, I pull the waves from the ocean floor, And slam the wind against the door. Then I disappear where nobody knows, Like mist in the moonlight, nobody knows where I go, I can bend what I see, make myself unseen, A ghost in the darkness… A witch in between. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – Both] Mother: They think we’re powerless… Daughter: They think we’re afraid… Mother: They don’t know the price… Daughter: Of the mistake they’ve made. Both: Because every demon That walks through our town… Will eventually learn… The witches fight back. ⸻ [Chorus – Both] WE ARE THE WITCHES IN THE SHADOWS! DAUGHTERS OF THE MOON AND FLAME! MOTHER HOLDS THE FIRE AND EARTH, DAUGHTER CALLS THE WIND AND RAIN! SHE CAN READ YOUR EVERY THOUGHT, I CAN VANISH FROM YOUR SIGHT! SHE CAN BEND YOUR HEART WITH MAGIC, I CAN MOVE THE WORLD TONIGHT! Mother and daughter, blood runs true, Four elements between us two. You can hide from every human eye… BUT YOU CAN’T HIDE FROM WITCHES LIKE US. ⸻ [Bridge – quiet, sinister] Mother: Then one Halloween night… I looked into my boss’s eyes. And heard something that wasn’t human. Daughter: I felt the air change. The room went cold. And suddenly… I could see them. Mother: The skin began to crack. Daughter: The faces began to twist. Both: And the demons finally showed us who they were. ⸻ [Demon Bosses – whispered] “You should have been afraid of us.” [Mother – laughing softly] “You should have been afraid of us.” ⸻ [Magical Breakdown] Mother: Fire rise! Daughter: Winds collide! Mother: Earth awaken! Daughter: Bring the tide! Mother: Feel your fear… Daughter: Feel the air… Both: YOU THOUGHT WE WERE YOUR VICTIMS… BUT WE WERE ALWAYS THERE. ⸻ [Final Chorus – HUGE] WE ARE THE WITCHES IN THE SHADOWS! THE BLOOD OF ANCIENT MAGIC! THE DEMONS NEVER SAW US COMING, NOW THEY’LL LEARN WHAT POWER IS! FIRE! EARTH! WATER! AIR! FOUR ELEMENTS EVERYWHERE! MOTHER READS YOUR DARKEST THOUGHTS! DAUGHTER DISAPPEARS INTO THE NIGHT! SHE CAN BREAK YOUR WILL WITH MAGIC! I CAN BEND THE WORLD WITH MIND! Mother and daughter, side by side, No more shadows left to hide. The demons wore their human disguise… BUT WE COULD SEE THROUGH THEIR EYES. ⸻ [Outro – whispered] Mother: Tomorrow we’ll go back to work. Daughter: We’ll smile like nothing happened. Mother: They’ll think their demons are gone. Daughter: They’ll never know… Mother: We were the witches they feared. Both: The legends were never about them. They were about us. Four elements. Two witches. One bloodline. And no demon left to hide.
