Bury you in earth. Bury you in mud as thick as bark
bury you in earth
Bury you in mud as thick as bark
Bury you in earth, bury you in earth
Bury you in mud as thick as bark
[Scream]
[Hums]
Witches are born to rest in salt and flame
even child of thine will rot and decay
[Hums]
Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our tresspasses
Forgive those who trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation
Deliver us from evil. Amen.
[Eleanor] I hope you don't mind my intruding.
[Eleanor] May I come in?
[Eleanor] Are you well?
[Maud] The wind is keeping me up
[Eleanor] With helm winds come change,
[Eleanor] Maud.
[Eleanor] And not always good.
[Eleanor] How have you been?
[Eleanor] We've scarcely seen you in the village.
[Eleanor] Your mother wouldn't approve of you- [Maud] Well, she's not here.
[Eleanor] What have you done with all her things?
[Maud] All she left me was a Bible.
[Maud] She always thought I was a wicked girl.
[Maud] Perhaps I am just as wicked and terrible is she always imagined me to be
[Maud] I'll sort it.
[Eleanor] We've all missed you in the village.
[Eleanor] I've missed you.
[Eleanor] People think you've turned to such monstrous things.
[Eleanor] If you resign yourself to this little cottage all alone,
[Eleanor] Perhaps it's best- [Maud] I'm quite well as I am.
[Chickens cluck]
[Sheeps bleat]
You are not welcome here.
[Carving sounds]
[Pulse of air]
[Breathing]
[Howling wind]
[Eleanor] The mist is thick, but blood is thicker.
[Mother] In the fells live old giants who hunt the basilisk worm.
[Maud] Stop! [Mother] Changelings and witches
[Mother] born as helm winds forge the earth. [Maud screams].
[Mother] but witches are born
[Mother] to rest in salt and flame...
[Maud] Bury you in earth, bury you in earth
bury you in mud as thick as bark. Bury you in earth
Bury you in earth, bury you in mud as thick as bark.
In earth, in mud as thick as bark. Bury you in earth
Bury you in earth, bury you in
earth, bury you in mud as thick as bark.
[Screams]
Why thy blood, I cast you away! Away to the barren hills.
I am not the wicked one!
You are.
