You tell your children to watch out, 

you tell your children to stay in line, 

you tell your children to be careful 

lest they want to fall as victim 

of the Witch of the Mountain. 

Your stories are all the same, 

your stories tell of you as victims, 

your stories tell of the horror that happens 

when the good and the innocent 

cross paths with the Witch of the Mountain. 

In your stories I am a beast, 

in your stories I am cruel and wicked, 

in your stories I do not differentiate 

the righteous from the bad 

for I am the Witch of the Mountain. 

All things bad are caused by me, 

all things unjust are a result of my actions, 

all things that need a villain 

and you do not want to shoulder any guilt for 

is blamed on the Witch of the Mountain. 

I ought to be angry, 

I ought to want to settle the account, 

I ought to want revenge 

but I do not 

for I am the Witch of the Mountain 

and I know right from wrong. 

A child lost in the woods, 

killed in the woods 

and instead of looking within 

you pour the blame on me. 

I listen to your accusations, 

the horror you use to describe me, 

and I smile to myself, 

feel pleased with myself, 

for as long as I'm a monster, 

no child will walk alone where they ought not to go. 

So blame it all on me, 

so tell your children to beware, 

so stay away from the dark, 

and stay away from the unknown, 

whilest the Witch of the Mountain is at work. 

I'll hunt down the danger, 

I'll punish all that do wrong, 

I'll eliminate the threat, 

and make sure your children are safe, 

for I am the Witch of the Mountain 

and I protect the innocent.
