Hellion: The Witching Hour Lyrics

Long ago and far away they met upon a holiday
To thank the gods for nature's gifts bestowed
Secrets past from mouth to ear
The evil ones would always fear
Unless they could destroy beliefs of old

Stand in a circle and reach to the sky

Far away crusaders met
Calling horsemen to conquest
And plot the death of heathens in their path
They tortured men a hundred ways
Till they'd bow their heads and pray
You closed your mind but can't forget the past

Stand in a circle and reach to the sky
Don't be afraid when you're learning to fly

Stand in a circle and reach to the sky
Don't be a fool whose been caught in the lie
Be not afraid 'cuz we all have the power
There's no need to fear come the witching hour
Oh no

Fly high

Join together hand in hand
The Challenger awaits command
The moon is rising for the world to see
We'll meet upon a moonlit shore
Make magic real just like before
Take my hand, Oh, won't you come with me

Don't be afraid when you're learning to fly
Laugh at the fools who arent willing to try
Be not afraid 'cuz we all have the power
There's no need to fear come the witching hour

Have you been down to the river
There's footsteps inside the sand
Oh don't you know the invaders have come
To take the land

Oh! When evening comes
After the storm
When will it be the same
When they return
After the fight
Anly a few will remain
So we'll see it was he all along
It's so

See that the cities are burning
There's smoke in the valleys below
Moss-covered stone
Where the moonlight has shown
On land we know

Oh! Let him ride on
Safe on the road
Shown by the silver moon
Strong be his lance
True be his aim
Be it their source of doom
So we'll then see it was he all along
It's so

Morning star

Thieves they lie waiting in darkness
Making lone travellers their prize
But good man and thief
Must aid their relief
Protecting the home countryside

Soon you'll hear my voice
Calling your name
Floating its was through air
You have the choice
You chose the path
Morning star leads you there
Soon they'll see it was me all along
It's so

Here I am like the gypsy said
Several years before
Inside my hand lies my destiny
It lead me to your door

Don't ask me why
I do not know
I'm finding it hard to believe
The lines in my hand's where my future lies
But Lord am I being decieved

The secret pact the leaders kept
Hath brought war to the land
Just like the words that the gypsy spoke
This is where I stand

Don't ask me why
I do not know
I'm finding it hard to believe
The lines in my hand's where my future lies
But Lord am I being decieved

What can you do when your life's on the line
Like the gypsy had planned
You've got to make it your way
No matter what they say
Don't be a slave to the hand
You've got to understand the hand

Trapped into the silence
Is where you'll never be
A rebel with a cause
Opposing forced conformity

Oh, they'll try to stop you
But dreams are in your sight
Don't you let them break you
You're children of the night
Children of the night

Forced into a schedule
And formed into a mold
They tried to make a robot
But they're losing all control

Oh, they'll try to put you down
But you'll stand up and fight
Don't you let them stop you
You're children of the night
Children of the night

Mix with fire and anger
The beast within comes out
He's burning up inside you
He's clawing to get out

Oh, they'll try to put you down
But dreams are in your sight
Don't you le them stop you
You're children of the night
Children of the night
