Lyrics
[Verse]
I cannot fathom
what befalls me
A thought comes to me
to exalt me
and yet, before it forms
it vanishes to ether's clouds
Oh, how I long for the days of old
When schemes brewed dark and bold
My mind was sharp as a dagger's edge
But now, it's dulled, a barren ledge
[Chorus]
Where do my plans and plots now hide?
Once sharp and keen, now cast aside
Like shadows in the dying light
I mourn the loss of my dark might
[Verse]
In youth, I weaved my wicked spells
Casting enchantments, ringing bells
I danced with glee in the moonlit night
With potions potent, dark and right
But time has stolen my cruel craft
Leaving me with naught but a draft
Of what once was a fearsome power
Now fleeting like a wilting flower
[Chorus]
Where do my plans and plots now hide?
Once sharp and keen, now cast aside
Like shadows in the dying light
I mourn the loss of my dark might
[Bridge]
Oh, cursed fate, what have you done?
Robbed me of what I had won
A witch without her schemes to weave
Is but a shadow, forced to grieve
[Chorus]
Where do my plans and plots now hide?
Once sharp and keen, now cast aside
Like shadows in the dying light
I mourn the loss of my dark might
[Outro]
So here I stand, a witch forlorn
No longer feared, no longer sworn
To darkness' call, I bid adieu
My lament, my tale, my final rue.
