It's getting close to midnight
The ritual shall begin
Raise all the burning torches
To the queen of the moon
Hecate
Whose name is howled at night
At the crossroads
Where three roads meet
Let her take you down to the underworld
Hear as I invoke the name
Of the wise old crone
Who knows curses and death
And does not fear them no
Mother of darkness reveal me
The secrets of your shrine tonight
It's getting close to midnight
The ritual shall begin
Raise all the burning torches
To the queen of the moon
Three faces one goddess
Dancing with dead souls by the light of the stars
Dance with me beyond the Styk
Where the crossroad is placed
Where Persephone is enthroned
Dance with me
Hecate
Bright goddess who walks in darkness
To you is sacred the snake which casts off its skin
To live again
The black dog howling at the everchanging Moon
And the eternal yew
Which brings both life and death
Hecate shine upon us
Only your touch of wisdom
Can light the souls on their path
While walking through
The Kingdom of the Shades
She who holds the knife that cuts
The thread from life and death I pray
It's getting close to midnight
The ritual shall begin
Raise all the burning torches
To the queen of the moon
Three faces one goddess
Dancing with dead souls by the light of the stars
Triple one
I entreat your presence
At these sacred rites
Hear my call
Descend from your throne
And release the songs
Of thy granite stones
