The Witch by Tanuki Lyrics

The call from the wild wood afar
Felt in every fold
Held apart from other voices that beg us to let go
A flash from the faintest light
Could it be a sign?
We would never know better to leave it

The hands that brushed our bones
Could not have felt the same

Followed by the calm
We found you with those empty eyes and open arms
Lost among the vain, we'll never know peace
As long as it rains

The clouded grove
Stretches beyond the reach of the wounded soul
These whispered words
Carried across the wood from where she stood

We heard the cry but how could we know?
How could we know it would mean our lives?
The shroud would rise
But where do we go?
But where do we go to escape the demise?
Take this with you
It will have to be enough
Stop searching for all of me
Burn
This can’t be left to us
It surely means to take us all

Followed by the calm
We found you with those empty eyes and open arms
Lost among the vain, we'll never know peace
As long as it rains

Rains
