about

* Matoha is a spirit/creature from Slavic folklore that would lurk in forests and oversee all magic acts and users within its jurisdiction. It'd grant arcane lore and knowledge to those that used magic for good, and mercilessly punish those that used it to harm others.

** Dobrochoczy is another spirit, one that would tend to the wellbeing of trees and plants in his forests, and rarely approach humans

*** Łysa Góra - the Bald Mountain, is an umbrella name for dozens of hills and mountains in Poland and other Slavic countries, most of them being associated with witches and their sabbaths

lyrics

[PL]

Zwrotka 1
Na spokojnym zboczu
trochę na uboczu
pod brzozy korzeniem
upiornym marzeniem
cielskiem obejmuję
jamy swej pilnuję
złe uszy wystawiam
wieści wypatruję

Refren
Wszego czarostwa
Jam jest starosta
Ma spotka kara
Każdego człeka
Co magyą włada
By gnębić brata

Zwrotka 2
Na sielskiej polanie
chata wiedźmy stanie
szepce Dobrochoczy
pomocnik ochoczy
wiele złego czyni
ludzkie dzieci mami
paskudna niewiasta
i robi z nich ciasta

Zwrotka 3
Na sabat nadszedł czas
zawołaj stwory wraz
co magyi podlega
kogo magyia słucha
niecić ogień sługi
kiedy dzień tak długi
w kozła się przemieniam
i na winnych czekam

Zwrotka 4
Łysej Góry ścieżki
drogą tym po śmierci
co prawa złamali
i mnie nie słuchali
po trzykroć wieszana
ogniem przypalana
góry niewolnikiem
na zawsze została


[ENG]

Verse 1
On a tranquil hillside
in a quiet refuge
under a birch root
lurks a dreadful phantasm
with my body I embrace
safeguard my lair
put up my evil ears
and wait for tidings to come

Chorus
Of all that is arcane
I am the overseer
my punishment shall come
for any human
that wields magick
to oppress his brethen

Verse 2
In a lush glade
The witch's hut will stand
whispers Dobrochoczy**
my helpful ally
Terrible deeds she commits
decieves the children of man
this horrendous woman
bakes them in her pastries

Verse 3
Time has come for the sabbath
call upon the creatures
anyone that obeys magick
anyone whom magick obeys
light the fire my servants
when the day is so long
I take the shape of a goat
and wait for the guilty

Verse 4
Paths of Łysa Góra***
an afterlife for those
that broke the laws
that didn't obey me
threefold hanged
seared with flames
a slave of the mountain
she has forever become
