A Hex On You

I smell the earth acknowledge you
Master of growth

I touch water acknowledge you
Rider of the tidal waves

I see fire acknowledge you
King of the sun

I hear the air acknowledge you
Inciter of the hurricane

I taste these spirits I concoct
From sulphur, mercury and salt

Will utilise this alchemy to
Make you dance the arcane waltz

Your elements in harness thus
Then will I take you by force

You may see my colour black
But I am blue and gold

I won't allow your freedom
For you will have no foothold

Then will I raise forbidden powers
To make you mine forever

Subject you, torment you
Till you beg to be delivered

Then everafter in your life
Whenever you see fire

You will acknowledge me
The only object of desire
