[intro]

[VERSE 1]  
Bring her the sorcerer’s head, [low pad]  
The icon’s tear, the beast’s sly smile, [glide in vocal]  
The villain’s heart, blood-fed, [sub bass accent]  
As shadows dance and beguile, [delay on vocal]  
The bottomless cauldron of stone, [pad build]  
A stench rises from the swampy house of Spells, [breathy whisper]  
With poison, with mistletoe, With rotting glow, [soft bells]  
Who have drunk the passion of a beautiful witch, full-blown. [vocal sustain]

[CHORUS] [repeat with pad swell, slight filter sweep]
Were you saved by fasting or by crosses? [voice airy, slight echo]  
Or by simple truths, or rosaries of swamp-born berries? [pad swell]  
Ah, come on — Madonna, sacred nails! [subtle percussive hit]  
They’ve sent you to Hell long ago, isn’t it? [vocals foreground]  
It’s time you paid a visit. [soft reverb tail]

[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK / airy pads + sparse trip-hop beat]

[VERSE 2]  
Step closer, monk, admire the potion well, [whispered emphasis]  
Chattering teeth, your soul at your heels. [sub bass pulse]  
For seven nights you wandered in your cell, [pad chord]  
From the brothers you hid the grey streak. [vocal glide]  
Tell me, monk, under what prayer or secret mark [light reverb]  
Do you keep the glove of black lace? [echo slight]  
In ancient crypts, in the granite dark, [pad low]  
Whose lips wandered across your body and face, [breathy]  
So fiercely the saints fled from the moans lark, [glide]  
Bibles fell, relics rose with spark. [percussive accent]

[INSTRUMENTAL BREAK / synth atmosphere + sub bass]

[VERSE 3]  
The unholy house shuts its doors, [low pad]  
Lying in the mist like a hydra grieve, [vocal airy]  
In its swollen, sated womb, on the floor, [soft sub bass]  
The monk does not believe. [pause]  
Beneath the black mitre, [vocal echo]  
In the shameless mourning of fine lace, [pad swell]  
The bride of ruin laughs at him with a sinister fire, [breathy grow]  
And he pours his soul into a pot of blaze, [sustain vocal]  
And melts into the haze. [fade pads, reverb]

[CHORUS / outro] [repeat softly, airy pads, echo tail]
Were you saved by fasting or by crosses? [voice airy, slight echo]  
Or by simple truths, or rosaries of swamp-born berries? [pad swell]  
Ah, come on — Madonna, sacred nails! [subtle percussive hit]  
They’ve sent you to Hell long ago, isn’t it? [vocals foreground]  
It’s time you paid a visit. [soft reverb tail]
