Skyclad

Polkageist!

Skyclad


One day whilst out exploring in some 
far-flung foreign corner, I took respite 
from my journey to admire the local fauna. 
When from the twilight distance a peel of 
bells and laughter, set my heart-strings 
fluttering like bats through chapel rafters. 
On entering a clearing I did sense 
impending peril, beheld a Gypsy wench 
with flashing eyes bright, sharp and feral. 
She smiled at me so sweetly 
(bit a lip that smacked of danger), 
gave a look fit to disarm 
this poor, unwitting stranger. 

[Chorus] 
Her rhythm pounced upon me 
it trounced me in a trice. 
That charm she wove about me 
gripped me tight as any vice. 
(She spoke in tongues above me). 
Though I cast my eyes to Christ, 
you'd need the virtue of a saint 
to not succumb - overcome this 
Polkageist. 

Arms of ivory strummed perfection 
summond me toward the middle. 
Pan warmed up his pipes 
heard Herne a plucking at the fiddle. 
She wrapped herself about me 
(felt her hot breath at my ear); 
Danced a horizontal polka 
down the path to Hell I fear. 

We're on a path to Hell I fear! 

[Chorus] 
Her rhythm pounced upon me 
it trounced me in a trice. 
That charm she wove about me 
gripped me tight as any vice. 
(She spoke in tongues above me). 
Though I cast my eyes to Christ, 
you'd need the virtue of a saint 
to not succumb - overcome this 
Polkageist. 

The Horny Huntress: 
"A spirit sent to haunt you 
taunting all your earthly days. 
Satyrs vaunt 
cavorting to the reel Cernunnos plays. 
I head our wild procession 
(every beast from man to mouse), 
finds freedom in possession 
Polkageist is in the house!" 

Juice of fruit beyond forbidden 
dripping slowly from her fingers, 
she took my hand and led me 
to that place where cunning lingers. 

[Chorus] 
Her rhythm pounced upon me 
it trounced me in a trice. 
That charm she wove about me 
gripped me tight as any vice. 
(She spoke in tongues above me). 
Though I cast my eyes to Christ, 
you'd need the virtue of a saint 
to not succumb - overcome this 
Polkageist.
