[Intro — whispered, music box]
Round and round the candle burns,
Watch the shadows twist and turn…
Moon above and roots below,
Say my name… and let it go…
[whispered]
Come a little closer…
[Verse 1]
Black lace hanging from the willow tree,
Moonlight dripping like it's calling me,
Pumpkin eyes glowing in the fog,
Footprints disappear where the witches walk.
There's a little house at the edge of town,
Where the windows breathe when the sun goes down,
I heard three knocks but nobody's there,
Then a woman's voice whispered through the air—
"You can run, you can hide,
You can lock every door,
But the things that you bury
Will come back wanting more."
[Pre-Chorus]
She drew a circle underneath the moon,
Lit one candle and began to hum,
Every word sent a shiver through my bones…
Then she smiled and said—
[Chorus]
I put a spell on you,
Now there's nowhere left to run.
I put a spell on you,
And the night has just begun.
Black moon, red flame,
Whisper my name,
Once you cross that line,
You'll never be the same.
I put a spell on you…
Did you feel it?
I put a spell on you…
Now you’re soul is mine.
[Verse 2]
Witches circle casting spells all through the town. Frogs in the cauldron dance around ..
Little black cats with glowing eyes.
Nursery rhymes playing through the wind.
But every little verse had a darker side.
Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
Why's your garden growing scary?
Roses blooming underneath the floor,
Thorns wrapped tightly around the door.
She said,
"Every heart has got a secret room,
Every shadow has a little bit of you.
Don't be afraid of what you find inside…
Sometimes the monster is the one that keeps you alive."
[Pre-Chorus]
She drew her knife with a pinch of blood . Blood magic here it comes..
Told me every blessing comes with hurt,
Then the whole damn forest started shaking like a quake in the earth.
And I heard them say—
[Chorus]
I put a spell on you,
Now there's nowhere left to run.
I put a spell on you,
And the night has just begun.
Black moon, red flame,
Whisper my name,
Once you cross that line,
You'll never be the same.
I put a spell on you…
Did you feel it?
I put a spell on you…
Now you’re soul is mine.
[Bridge — beat drops / whispered voices]
Don't look behind you.
Something's standing in the mist.
I can't see straight.
Now close your eyes.
Ten candles burning—
and one for your soul.
[deep whisper]
The spell isn't on you…
(pause)
The spell is you.
[Final Chorus — huge bass / choir]
I put a spell on you,
But you were born with magic too.
I put a spell on you,
Now the darkness lives in you.
Black moon, red flame,
Nothing stays the same,
You came looking for the witch…
But you became the name.
I put a spell on you…
Feel it in your bones.
I put a spell on you…
Now you're not alone.
[Outro — music box returns]
Round and round the candle burns,
Watch the shadows twist and turn…
Moon above and roots below…
[whispered]
You know the spell now…
Don't say it.
…unless you want it to come true.
