Post-Punk Monk A guttural bassline courtesy of Eva Red pulled us onto the dance floor as the synths of Janice Black darted, catlike, to and fro from the shadows. Vocalist Maniki's baritone vocals were the height of elegance as I can just imagine the spider people throwing shapes in the clubs to this fevered dervish of a song.

lyrics

They always walk beside me

When the sun is gone

Lurking in the darkness

Where my heart belongs

Moving like shadows

Howling like a dream

Vanishing my sorrows

With poisonous lips



Sliding snake-like fingers

Deep into my bones

Wounded by their ancient love

Mirrors, neon lights and fog



Witches, high and wild

Witches, red and black

Witches, hallucinations

Witches…



Dancing with the devil

At the edge of dawn

They are always hungry

For a human soul



Sliding snake-like fingers

Deep into my bones

Wounded by their ancient love

Mirrors, neon lights and fog



Witches, high and wild

Witches, red and black

Witches, hallucinations

Witches… (the evil ones)
