Every time I open my eyes
I see three witches before me, not two – but three
And all four times they open my eyes
The first witch said
Son, do you believe in prophecies spoken
In 3 6 5, Gemini, 8 24?
And I replied
No

He said
Before you lie three holy items –
The first believes in ghosts
The second in tools
The third in rocks

And I ask you
Which is thy art?
I searched for all three quarters
But I could not find the fourth

And so I caught myself in my room
Asking why

I heard the way to get something
I heard the way to get nothing
I heard the way to get something all

God keeps the sin away from me
Don’t let them tell you
Lord, please take it away from me
And let it help you stay

The second time I spoke to the witch
Was the same time as the third
And when the fourth came, he said
Who are you to believe their lies?
Rocks don’t feel pain
Tools don’t either
And ghosts don’t know when to choose

And that’s why the prophecy says
4-2-6-5
No three
No eight
No Gemini

I heard the way to get something
I heard the way to get nothing
I heard the way to get something
Tell ’em all: It’s better than nothing

God keeps the sin away from me
Don’t let them tell you
Lord, please take it away from me
And let it help you stay

God, keep the stains away from me
And let them tell you
Lord, please take it away from me
And let it help you stay

Don’t let your fate control you
Only a fool believes up high
Don’t force the hate that molds you
Only for those who deserve to die

God keeps the sin away from me
Don’t let them tell you
Lord, please take it away from me
And let it help you stay

God, keep the stains away from me
And let them tell you
Lord, please take it away from me
And let it help you stay
