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
