King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
Witchcraft (Live in Chicago ’23)
Alright, it's called "Witchcraft"

[Verse 1]
In the fields once green and gold
Where the summer's breeze was bold
A supercell rages and roils
Swirling vortex, a bubble boils
Witchcraft

[Verse 2]
So upon one sable morn
When the moon does wane and die
A ragged coven convenes
Performing incantations nigh
Witchcraft

[Verse 3]
Taxidermy with eyes of fire
Chanting songs above the lyre
Miasma of hair and bile
Hangs heavy with the mother's ire
Witchcraft

[Verse 4]
Antlers shed ribbons of blood
Draped like thorns upon the brow
A crucifixion can end this squall
A bible burned with aerosol
Witchcraft
Woo!
Yeah!
[Verse 5]
I call upon the blood-moon goddess
For I have but one request
I've laid the altar, charged the crystals
The circle, I have blessed
Witchcraft

[Verse 6]
The four elements are set
Septuple trigger fingers bleed
Oh horrors, my midnight god
What have you got in store for me?
Witchcraft
Woo!
Woo
Woo

[Bridge]
Yeah
Fire flickered and danced with hues of orange
Red and deep burnt blues
Snakes slither by, just out of sight
Lizard and bat take wing in the night
Around the fire, they circle slow and with
Locked minds a chant did grow
Timbers of oak with wind knots so tight
Bear witness to spells cast in the night
Woo!
Yeah!
[Verse 7]
Uh!
I am Beowulf, I am cat, black
Knock the candle from the scripture stack
I bring justice at moment right
Gila Monster, set alight
Witchcraft

[Verse 8]
Unleash a reptile thinking in terms
Of only lizard brain
And be not lucky enough to
Make any mistakes again
Witchcraft

[Verse 9]
Like a grenade in a fist
The air ignites, a bloody mist
Moon cycle shifting, demon lifting
Beowulf, grifting ritualist
Witchcraft

[Verse 10]
Alas, the cat disrupts the prayer
And turns it on, meekest there
The tiny creature, a harmless skink
Transforms into a mythic king
Witchcraft, yeah
Thank you
Thanks
Thanks
Yo, everyone give it up for Kamikaze Palm Tree
Hands together, hands together
Put hands together
Yeah
Yeah
