Lindsay's wraith descends on the Cross In night supposedly as black as her heart Caressed in primitive splendour The horned god's daughter Lord of the wild, enfold me Master of death, enfold me We're harbourside in your garden where You pour me wine with timeless smirk A witch's brew I will not drink Though, sure to cure me Lord of the wild, enfold me Panther of night, enfold me A universe beyond women bare-breasted No vehicle can contain its golden light No pantheon of untouchable gods Will survive without living through us Us together, difficult women Being loathed is tough, but we are tougher

Roie, people always associate you with witchcraft and some people even say they think you are a witch... have you always been a witch? Yes, always Is it difficult being a witch? ... it would be much more difficult not to be! Lindsay's wraith descends on the Cross In night supposedly as black as her heart Caressed in primitive splendour The horned god's daughter Lord of the wild, enfold me Master of death, enfold me We're harbourside in your garden where You pour me wine with timeless smirk A witch's brew I will not drink Though, sure to cure me Lord of the wild, enfold me Panther of night, enfold me A universe beyond women bare-breasted No vehicle can contain its golden light No pantheon of untouchable gods Will survive without living through us Us together, difficult women Being loathed is tough, but we are tougher

about

Rosaleen Norton or 'Thorn' was the infamous occultist of Sydney's Kings Cross. Born in Dunedin, Aotearoa, Rosaleen is appreciated as a brilliant artist and devotee of Pan who stood defiant in the face of significant scandals regarding sex magic, and 'satanic worship' that defined her brilliant body of painting works. Rosaleen was also a strong writer, and her poetry has been referenced in this song.
