Flight Of The Witch Queen - Lyrics - Pagan Altar

Pagan Altar was formed in 1978 by Alan and Terry Jones. Alongside Witchfinder General, they are one of the few NWOBHM bands to play doom metal. The band's concerts are characterised by moody, epic and heavy music, blended with stage effects which accentuate their interest in occult themes.

From a Castle high on the top of a hill I can hear the Witch Queen laughing still As midnight chimes and the moon is high The Witch Queen prepares herself to fly She stands on top of a tower of stone And sneers at the sleeping earth below Unsuspecting in their beds Of the gathering of Witches above their heads In silent flight across the sky All ranks of Witches flying by Paying homage to their Queen At their yearly meeting on Halloween I can see her I can see her standing there I can see her she's poised and ready Moonlight on long black hair Her laughter breaks the still of night Music to match the awesome sight In ghostly silence they follow their Queen Like dead leafs blowing in the wind I can see her I can see her standing there I can see her she's poised and ready Moonlight on long black hair I can see her I can see her standing there I can see her as she gracefully rises A death like hush as she takes the air
