Witch Hour - Joe Ficklin

FAWM 2025-9: Witch Hour Am G Em Am Em Am A wind is howling through sycamore tree / I can feel the whole house shake Am G Em Am Em Am Wind raging like the end of the world / To drive the demons in hell a-wake Am G Em Am Em Am Wind torn clouds 'gainst a half moon sky / Casting shadows black as pitch Am G Em Am Em Am The hour of the bear has come and passed / We fast approach the hour of the witch E Am E Em Am Somewhere in the dark of night / A creature rises from the mist F Am E Am Em Am There is no sense to take to flight / From a monster born of Satan's kiss F G E Am Em Am Just bar the door and pray for care / To keep us safe through storm and rain F E Em Am And deal through fear and dark despair / The witch's hour comes again Am G Em Am Em Am Ancestors lost from a distant world / To claim this new world as their own Am G Em Am Em Am They brought the crops that they would need / And knew the ways they should be grown Am G Em Am Em Am Settled valleys and broad plains / And farmed the land with ancient tools Am G Em Am Em Am But learned too late the storied tale / Of those who failed to learn the rules REFRAIN Am G Em Am Em Am The midnight storm that proved the herald / Of creatures hidden deep in the ground Am G Em Am Em Am They rampaged forth unmeasured hate / Destroying life where it was found Am G Em Am Em Am Survivors of those first few storms / Bore testimony scarce believed Am G Em Am Em Am Of giants from the windswept deep / Who's fury now we've all received REFRAIN Am G Em Am Em Am The wind shall howl like rocket's roar / The ground shall shake 'til buildings fall Am G Em Am Em Am While giant beasts in armor roam / In search of prey, attacking all Am G Em Am Em Am Rifles will not kill the beasts / Nature on this world is cruel Am G Em Am Em Am So we must cower in the dark / While lords of chaos rise and rule REFRAIN
