Come.

Get away from her!

Declare yourself!

You speak Munja’kin or you don’t speak.

Witch.

Episode 102

MOMBI (I)
To obscure true nature / And flesh be turned / Inverted from all eyes / Including thine own.
GLINDA/WEST (I)
The candle dims she makes her light ascent / Like smoke extinguished of flame she was / Our sister lies eternal now and still.
WEST (I)
You corpses rise and animate the dead / On strings like puppets stuffed with blood and bone.
WEST (I)
Mimic me, you crude and jarring skeletons / And dance together, stir my dark portent.
WEST (I)
In unison you spin and twist the dance / Moves fast and quicker still intoxicated.
WEST (I)
Flesh and blood cast out their rigamortis / Of all you dead cold sister come embrace / And bid farewell a kiss the last between.
MOMBI (I)
Swell, you timbered prison door and crack / My keep be breached, obliterate, and split!
MOMBI (I)
Hear my words / Guide my hands / Hear my words / Guide my hands / Hear my words / Guide my hands...
MOMBI (I)
May this potion cloak the child / Hide what’s true / Call out the alter / Change the flesh but keep the soul.

...West. ...North. ...East. ...South.

WEST (I)
The lock, the key—a girl, now what's within... / His mind undone, she'll creep inside to look / And steal what secrets dark and precious keep. But caution be if bonds break weak and lie / Together they will fall beneath the black / And madness take their feeble hearts' desire.
