Pagans Ritual (with the fine Crimsin)

casting on the air forbidden magic  
homemade in another dimension  
I stir the mist to see what comes forth  

the ruins scatter the bones rattle
the air becomes electrical
peering into the darkness--  
understanding, it has a voice  
a faint whisper greets

out of the depths comes a demon  
questions what do I bid him?  
I tell him I need illusions to wrap round me  
it's too bright in the daytime  

a thousand black crows appear  
they get in formation about me  
singing---

"drink and dagger of night
protect the lady of the shadows
by pain of death"

Hark
   the crows stir while I chant  
      so powerful is the conjuring  

blackened wing don't fail me
guardians of power
provide for me a glamour

dark of night
witches bane
mote it be
