The Witch's Apprentice Songtext
von The Goodness Guild

The young apprentice grieves
The old witch has gone
And now she must flee

Out of the ruin of the old witch′s home
She recovers the familiar handwritten tome
The witch's apprentice′s eyes fill with tears
At the pages of wisdom passed down through the years

This land is lost - it's time to move on
She grabs some belongings and then she is gone
The witch's apprentice melts into the night
The fear and the hatred driving her into flight

For hundreds of miles she travels alone
Hidden by strangers the hate doesn′t own
Searching for somewhere her kind isn′t feared
A place where people like her aren't ′disappeared'


Blending with others being driven away
Men, women and children with nowhere to stay
The witch′s apprentice she does what she can
Begging for passage to more tolerant lands

Tumbling out of the boat into the foam
She gazes around taking in her new home
The witch's apprentice feels she′s truly blessed
She makes her way inland to finally rest

The kindness of strangers soon starts being repaid
Treating and guiding them in the old ways
Helping the sick, the desperate and poor
Her new friends and neighbours who know nature's lore

As the decades fall by she continues her craft
The old witch's spirit living on in her heart
Her own young apprentice has everything filed
In ancient tome′s writing, another new style
The witch watches over with contented smile
