Forgive me father for I have sinned
I’m a child of the air, I’m a witch of the wind
And I’m still wide awake...
Mary Jane
From the Earth, up through the trees
I can hear her calling me
Her voice rides on the breeze
Oh, it’s haunting me
No, I can’t get away
No, there’s no escape, I’m going crazy
If I know I’m going crazy
I must not be insane, huhuhu… huhuhu…
Beware my friends, as you pass by
As you are now so once was I
As I’m now so you must be
Prepare my friends to follow me
Forgive me father for I have sinned
I’m a child of the air, I’m a witch of the wind
Fingers gripped around my brain
No control my mind is lame
I’m in the astral plane, and I’ll never be the same
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never
Beware my friends, as you pass by
As you are now so once was I
As I’m now so you must be
Prepare my friends to follow me
It hurts so bad I can’t breathe
Prepare to follow me
