“Ritual”
Lyrics and Music By Celia Farran

Well I waited for the moon to be just right.
And I stepped into the shining shimmering light.
And I got Witchy on you, baby, if you know what I mean.
I got Witchy on your crazies and I did it nice and clean.
Chorus
You are gone from me ‘cause I shut the portal.
I burned a candle and cut the chords.
And I buried your lies 'neath the old oak tree.
I did a ritual and now you’re free.
Well I waited for my heart and my intention to align.
And I gathered all my tools and I slipped into the night.
And I went priestess on you, Baby, because your push became a shove.
I went priestess on your crazies and I did it all with love.
Chorus 2:
You are gone from me ‘cause I shut the portal.
I burned a candle and cut the chords.
And I buried your lies ‘neath the old oak tree.
I did a ritual and now I’m free. I’m Free.
Free to laugh. Free to dance.
Free to go out on a limb and take a chance.
Free to fly. Free to soar.
‘Cause you’re not here to crucify me anymore. No.
Chorus 3:
And you can't come back ‘cause I locked the portal.
I cast a circle and shut the door.
And I buried your lies ‘neath the old oak tree…in a deep, dark hole.
I did a ritual. I did a ritual. Oh, oh!
I did a ritual. I did a ritual and now I’m free.
