Dull Gret - Esben and the Witch

Yes, we’re free and we are mad

That’s a knife you see, shining in my hand

I will take what’s mine

For the hour has come and now this is our time

Yes we’re savage and uncouth

We’ve a taste for blood and we will take you tooth by tooth

So run wild, my dears

We’re unleashed and we’re no longer afeared

(One woman can make a din)

She could plunder in front of hell!

If I’m a dragon or a shrew

Well, I’ve a pillow here for me to tie you to

Is this what you deem hysterical?

Oh, I can be hysterical

Unto the mouth of hell

Hunting for the king, the devil himself

And I’ll return unscathed

With his ragged head hanging by my nails

(One woman can make a din)

She could plunder in front of hell!

I have flint and we have steel

So build a pyre for all to see

Burn the ones that shouted witch

And skewer his crown onto the spit
