Witchcraft Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know you cannot stay there´s so much evil in the air
They point their bony fingers right upon you
The coven of the damned they have seen you through
These people they are into witchcraft they are not what they seem
You curious fool you had yourself to this scene
They took your children and wife cut their throats with a knife
You´re running through the dark of night your scream is music to their ears
Spooky trees gloomy paths leads you further down your fears
You look around hunting sound is creeping in your lonely soul
Nocturnal life forest of death you´re the prisoner within its cold...yes you are...
You cannot hear you cannot feel your body´s shivering in here
Eyes of beasts pierce your heart all naked you fall to the ground
And the last of love that´s in your heart is about to crumble now
Don´t let me die let me stay alive me take from this hellish place
The song "Witchcraft" by the Swedish rock band Witchcraft, is a captivating narrative of a man who out of curiosity ventures into a coven of witches, only to be caught in their web of evil. The opening lines set the tone for the song, as it describes the sense of urgency to escape from a place of impending doom. The intense feeling of being watched and pointed at by the coven creates an unsettling atmosphere that creates tension in the song. The lyrics are filled with vivid imagery of dark, spooky trees and gloomy paths leading the singer to a fearful, unknown destination in the forest of death.
The second verse of the song narrates a horrifying incident of the coven taking away the man's wife and children, and slitting their throats with a knife. The tragedy ends with the mob turning on the frightened protagonist as they finally capture him in the forest. The last verse portrays a bleak and desolate reality for the singer, who is now hopeless and disoriented, with his body shivering in fear. The song ends with the man's plea not to let him die and to take him out of this evil place.

You try to get away
You got to get somewhere
You know you cannot stay
There's so much evil in the air
They point their bony fingers
Right upon you
The coven of the damned
They have seen you through
These people they are into witchcraft
They are not what they seem
You curious fool
You had yourself to this scene
They took your children and wife
Cut their throats with a knife
And now you're facing the crowd
And the crowd is facing you
You're running through the dark of night, your scream is music to their ears
Spooky trees, gloomy paths leads you further down your fears
You look around, haunting sound is creeping in your lonely soul
Nocturnal life, forest of death, you're the prisoner within its cold...
Yes you are...
You cannot hear, you cannot feel your body's shivering in here
Eyes of beasts pierce your heart, all naked you fall to the ground
And the last of love that's in your heart is about to crumble now
Don't let me die, let me stay alive, take me from this hellish place

This is still one of the most haunting songs I've ever heard. Song structure, the lyrics, mood, the violin at the end. It still brings me to tears all these years later. And late into calm nights like these, it does something to me, takes me to a place I couldn't even put into words.
Jennifer Ziola
Ah, this is the song that invoked my high amount of fanaticism for Witchcraft. First time I listened to this I thought it was some mystic lost band from the 70's that got overlooked by some forsaken chance. STOKED was I when I found out they formed in 2000 and I could hear this treasure live! Best feeling as a fan, good gracious they FLIPPIN' ROCK!
Amanda Hill
This is their best album in my opinion. It just feels so raw. Beginning to end it's a masterpiece.
John Weiner
Discovering this band is one of my highlights of 2018.
