WITCH As night falls and day ends The veil drops, our path bends The stars turn, aligning Here dream and truth are intertwining
BROWN JENKIN The fabric of the cosmos is a ragged cloth
WITCH Weaving through it means we must appeal to Azathoth We followed lines and curves and now they’ve brought us here To share his awesome might beyond the spheres
WITCH + BROWN JENKIN + REVELERS Oh, oh, oh, whoa!
BROWN JENKIN Walpurgis Night is here! We bow in prostration
WITCH Now before us lies a naked babe
BROWN JENKIN The blood of innocence flows in his veins
WITCH To know the truth we have to pay this price He shall be our sacrifice
WITCH + BROWN JENKIN The time has come
WALPURGIS REVELERS Ia!
WITCH + BROWN JENKIN This must be done
WALPURGIS REVELERS Ia!
WITCH + BROWN JENKIN + REVELERS We chant aloud in exultation Our Lord is real
WALPURGIS REVELERS Ia!
WITCH + BROWN JENKIN To him we kneel
WALPURGIS REVELERS Ia!
WITCH I raise my knife
BROWN JENKIN + REVELERS Fhtagn!
GILMAN And bring damnation!
ELWOOD Gilman was horrified, Father. He saw the missing baby there on the witch’s altar, a huge knife, a ritual bowl, and something in him finally snapped free.
FATHER IWANICKI Thank God for that!
GILMAN I see now it’s madness My heart fills with sadness This evil consumes me Forbidden knowledge only dooms me
WITCH Don’t forget you signed your soul away
BROWN JENKIN Never dream that you’ll forget the things you’ve seen today
GILMAN God I never thought the truth would be a curse to learn
WITCH You can travel space and time but you cannot return
GILMAN No! No! Oh, no, no, no!
BROWN JENKIN We’re gonna see him bleed!
GILMAN The spell is now broken The quest for knowledge shouldn’t be denied Until it turns into the sin of pride The Devil’s curving lines will not bind me I’ll trust a holier geometry Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name! To God I pray
BROWN JENKIN You’ve lost your way
GILMAN This crucifix is my salvation
WITCH No turning back
WITCH + BROWN JENKIN We will attack!
GILMAN Thy Kingdom come Thy will be done!
WALPURGIS REVELERS Ia!

ELWOOD Walter? Walter sacrificed himself, Father. Even as he heard the chanting coming from Meadow Hill, he wrenched the knife from the old woman’s claws, sending it clattering away into some nether world within his dream. She and Brown Jenkin fought back with tooth and nail, and as she choked him he felt the chain of the crucifix grinding into his neck. He pulled it free and his own hands reached out for the witch’s throat. Before she saw what he was doing he had the chain of the crucifix twisted around her neck!
GILMAN Don’t back away There’s hell to pay, yeah! The time has come This must be done And now you’ll know extermination!
BROWN JENKIN You’ll never win!
GILMAN Forgive my sin She senses death And takes her final breath!
WITCH Don’t look away, the time has come Can’t you see I’m your reflection? My spirit withers, this life undone My demise, our intersection Kill me and I will ascend And in my place you’ll descend There’s no turning back There’s no turning back
WITCH + GILMAN There’s no turning back
GILMAN There’s no turning back
BROWN JENKIN Don’t think you’ll prevail As her breath exhales Soon, when I return Your soul will burn
