Keepers of the Underdark, Vol. 2

lyrics

It smelled so sweet when it wafted through the window
Drove me insane to think I'd never get it again
Followed the trail to a house upon the hillside
I felt so frail about the time I wandered in

A woman said you look ill little baby tell me what's your name
Come on in get warm, get out of the rain
Won't you have yourself a seat and have a nice warm cup of tea
And drink it all down, drink it all down, drink it all down

Woke up on the floor and I couldn't find the door
In the witch's house
Barrell full of blood kept the hidden hatch shut
At the witch's house
Pile full of bones some new and some old
At the witch's house (at the witch's house)
Gotta cut and run from the grinding sound above me
At the witch's house (at the witch's house)
At the witch's house, oh, at the witch's house she's in charge

Try to take the stairs but I can't tell up or down
Worn necrotic runes scar the pitted ground
I finally see the light, not much, just a crack
Then the sweet words, oh the sweet words press against my neck

Woke up on the floor and I couldn't find the door
In the witch's house
Barrell full of blood kept the hidden hatch shut
At the witch's house
Pile full of bones some new and some old
At the witch's house (at the witch's house)
Gotta cut and run from the grinding sound above me
At the witch's house (at the witch's house)
At the witch's house, oh, at the witch's house she's in charge
