Something Wicked

Something Wicked this way comes Do you hear the sound of funeral drums In majesty madness runs By the pricking of thy thumb Something wicked this way comes These hands run red with royal blood Will that sweet slumber ever come Was ever fate man's to command In deed a king now joins the damned A vision of sovereignty Three witches gave to me A dream to hold the throne in my hands Prophetic words you see Disposed the sisters three To wield a bitter king's command Forsaken bloody spout Can't wash this evil out Now paranoia drives me mad Kill every threat to me Half promised prophecy Forsaken dreams now haunt my bed Full is scorpions is my mind I dance with fair and fouler kind A dagger calls to me So murder, it shall be Days of sleep are far behind Over the dead I build my throne On bloody treachery, steel, and stone I see their ghosts walking my halls My fate is written on the walls A vision of sovereignty Three witches gave to me A dream to hold the throne in my hands Prophetic words you see Disposed the sisters three To wield a bitter king's command Forsaken bloody spout Can't wash this evil out Now paranoia drives me mad Kill every threat to me Half promised prophecy Forsaken dreams now haunt my bed All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter A drum, a drum! Macbeth doth come Be bloody, bold, and resolute Laugh to scorn the power of man, for none of woman born Shall harm Macbeth Be lion-mettled, proud, and take no care Who chafes, who frets, or where conspirers are Macbeth shall never vanquished be until Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill Shall come against him A vision of sovereignty Three witches gave to me A dream to hold the throne in my hands Prophetic words you see Disposed the sisters three To wield a bitter king's command Forsaken bloody spout Can't wash this evil out Now paranoia drives me mad Kill every threat to me Half promised prophecy Forsaken dreams now haunt my bed Forever bloodied blades A walking shadow fades The sound and fury heard no more Tomorrow, and tomorrow Days wrought with death and sorrow These hands are stained forevermore
