lyrics

You come looking for answers
Someone to revere or to blame
Someone to send you to what happens next
To the crown or to the flame

I'll be the witch in your story
I'll be the bad guy and the good one too
I'll set a quest and make you see it through
and reward you when you return

It's hard to fight all the demons
When you know this might be the wrong road
But you can do a hell of a lot
To avoid becoming a toad

Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble
Fire burn and cauldron bubble
Take this one who's seeing double
Offer him a way

I'll be the wicked stepmom
Force you from your safe place
The witch is the one who moves the story
With curses or with grace

Eye of newt and tongue of bat
Hair of dog and claw of cat
Just forget about all that
And take this tea along

I'll be the witch in your story
I'll be the bad guy and the good one too
I'll set a quest and make you see it through
and reward you when you return
and reward you when you return

(Words & Music: Susan Weiner)

These two-time Pegasus Award recipients are part of the growing music genre known as MythPunk, bringing old gods and folk tales into modern day, and bringing faerie tale princesses into the light of dark magic.

They weave journeys of song and story, bringing their listeners along for the ride. ... more
