Story behind the song
A witches ladder is made from knotted cord or hair, braided with
feathers, bones or other trinkets. Special chants are spoken during
the creation process. At the tying of the last knot all the energy is
directed into the cord and stored in the knots, this was generally
used as a curse. It was believed that witches of old could cast a
death spell by hiding the cord and the only way the spell could
be broken was to find the cord and untie each knot.
One example of this was found in somerset, england in the 19th
century, a rope about 5 feet long, composed of 3 strands with a loop
at one end, inserted into the rope crossways, were a number of
male goose feathers. some old women of the area, when questioned,
indicated that such items were used for placing curses and that
a common variant of this was to use a candle or an onion stuck with pins.
Lyrics
Time will seal your Fate, my Curse is near complete,
to influence your Life, in the time it takes to Weave,
bring thy Wisdom to my Mind, Darkness fill the Void,
Gory.
In time, all in time, pay the price for Revenge is mine, uh.
This Ritual I have seen, my Mother did show to me
she Cursed them on her Knees, of course I believe,
Illness or Death struck over time,
Morrigan, Morrigan, at her side.
Beware the Witches ladder, for when it is complete,
this Spell will take affect on you, you'll end up as my Meat.
"My thought, will ruin your Life,
my thought, your Life,
my thought, your Life,
you will suffer in the dead of Night".
