Wizard Banished
POLEDNICE (Noon witch)

inspired by czech fairy tale Polednice

In the woods — a doe, an odyssey
A strange woman calls to me
Cloaked in black, her face unseen
In her eyes, a spiteful gleam

My child, my only one
Still in diapers, pure as dawn
Who has taken him from me?
Who dared steal my baby?

The woman took my child away
Wrapped in robes of shadowed grey
But she won’t take him again

Now it is I—

The Noon Witch
The Noon Witch!
Blackened candles burst alight
When she enters, cloaked in night
Noon—
Witch—
Noon—
Witch!
NOON WITCH!

She walks the forest in her veil
With a smile that's cold and pale
Through the dark, her footsteps fall
Creeping slowly to your hall

Hold your child, you wretched mother
The Noon Witch comes, there is no other
She will seize and never give
Your child will no longer live

The Noon Witch
The Noon Witch!
Blackened candles burst alight
When she enters, cloaked in night
Noon—
Witch—
Noon—
Witch!
NOON WITCH!

Doomed to wander through the years
Once a woman wise and clear
Now she haunts and steals the youth
Better not to know the truth

She once had a child, her own
Told it tales in frightened tones
Of a witch who crept by day
With a crutch to take kids away

She scared herself with every lie
Till she smothered it with a cry
None have seen her since that night
What she became—

The Noon Witch
The Noon Witch!
Blackened candles burst alight
When she enters, cloaked in night
Noon—
Witch—
Noon—
Witch!
NOON WITCH!

Doomed to wander through the years
Once a woman wise and clear
Now she haunts and steals the youth
Best not piss her off — that’s truth

Child: Mommy! That is not how is it supposed to be!
Mom: Yeah, pissing her off sounds better, don’t you think?
Child: I guess so, Mommy...
