Oh Ariel, Ariel, lend me your ear
Have you seen a blackbird, scent of roses and fear?
I've been on this trail of crumbs
Something wicked this way comes
"Oh traveler, traveler heed this very hour
For your senses sour, before your purpose you cower
By the pricking of my thumbs
Something wicked this way comes"
Something wicked this way comes
But what I want ain't what I need
You gave me free will, but I don't feel so freed
'Cause what I want ain't what I need
Blackbird, do you know just how much I bleed?
Blackbird, do you know just how much I bleed?
By the pricking of my thumbs
Something wicked this way comes
Now, Gabriel, Gabriel, tell me the tale
Of the lion and wolf who was destined to fail
I've not fallen to succumb
Something wicked this way comes
"Now, traveler, traveler, the song has been sung
From the forked road just like the serpent's tongue
By the pricking of my thumbs
Something wicked this way comes
Something wicked this way come
But what I need ain't what I want
Lord, you're no longer my confidant
Let me learn my lesson the way I plead
Blackbird, do you know just how much I bleed?
Blackbird, do you know just how much I bleed?
By the pricking of my thumbs
Something wicked this way comes
