✨ Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
In the year of despair, when the sickness came,
Einharrow’s village was bathed in flame.
Through fields of the dying, in shadow she stood,
Helviga, the witch, with eyes black as blood.

(Chorus -
O mortis dea, tollis vitam puerorum,
Ad tenebras duc, in noctem te voco.
(Translation: "Oh goddess of death, you take the lives of children,
Lead them into darkness, into the night I call you.")

(Verse 2)
"Bring me your firstborn, the young and the fair,
I’ll cure you of sickness if you dare."
With trembling hands, the parents agreed,
Their tears fell like rain as she sowed her seed.

(Chorus -
O mortis dea, tollis vitam puerorum,
Ad tenebras duc, in noctem te voco.
(Translation: "Oh goddess of death, you take the lives of children,
Lead them into darkness, into the night I call you.")

(Bridge -
In the forest so deep, where the trees whispered low,
She cast her dark spell, where no light would grow.
The children she claimed, their souls torn away,
For the price of her power, their laughter would sway.

(Verse 3)
The plague disappeared, but the children were lost,
Helviga’s dark magic came with a cost.
The parents, now cursed, heard the cries in the night,
From the woods where the witch performed her dark rite.

(Chorus -
O mortis dea, tollis vitam puerorum,
Ad tenebras duc, in noctem te voco.
(Translation: "Oh goddess of death, you take the lives of children,
Lead them into darkness, into the night I call you.")

(Bridge 2 -
One by one, they vanished in pain,
Helviga’s children calling their names.
The woods closed in, the village fell,
Their souls forever bound to her spell.

(Outro -
Helviga waits, her pact remains,
In Einharrow’s woods, the darkness reigns.
A warning, a tale, for those who may dare,
To bargain with death, beware, beware.
