FESTIVAL OF WITCHES

Ahhhhh, Festival. Once a middle-of-the-road, mostly-forgettable track becomes an absolute highlight of the album. We squeezed everything we could out of this one, turning as many little moments as possible into memorable ones. The guitar riffs, the brass, the duelling solos during the final chorus… it all comes together to tell one hell of a twisted, dark story.

FESTIVAL OF WITCHES. tonight, witness the festival / under the lights, we saw a miracle / upon every street they dance, laughter and joy abound / but evil things lie beneath this blissful town / now light the lanterns, light the torches, it is all the same / as long as in the end there’s always someone who’s to blame / yet underneath this bright facade we share the same fate / so drink up, dance, enjoy the party, till you can’t see straight / join us, join us / come join us now and see the dance of the damned / come now behold the wicked, see what they have planned / hey! / whoa! / now she ventures deeper in / into the night’s deadly festivities / the music’s necromance makes her dead heart dance / here there’s nothing else to sway her / now she’s lost / so light the lanterns, light the torches, it is all the same / as long as in the end there’s always someone who’s to blame / yet underneath this bright facade we share the same fate / so drink up, dance, enjoy the party, till you can’t see straight / join us, join us / come join us now and see the dance of the damned / come now behold the wicked, see what they have planned / all this mayhem thinly hides / their civilities they’ll cast aside / bloodthirsty, let the rampage begin / the lady’s patience wears thin / come join us now and see the dance of the damned / come now behold the wicked, see what they have planned
