A new cover of The Ballad of the Witches Road is now streaming on music streaming services. This is the version of the song that was performed in Episode 4 of Agatha All Along. It has a bit of a Stevie Nicks vibe. This is most likely a nod to American Horror Story: Coven.
The version of the song can be found on Spotify, Apple Music, and other music streaming services. It also can be listened to here:
The lyrics for The Ballad of the Witches Road are as follows:
Seekest thou the Road
To all that’s foul and fair
Gather sisters fire, water, earth and air
Darkest hour, wake thy power
Earthly and divine
Burn and brew with coven true
And glory shall be thine
Down, down, down the road, down the Witches’ Road
Down, down, down the road, down the Witches’ Road
Down, down, down the road, down the Witches’ Road
Circle sewn with fate
Unlock thy hidden gate
Marching ever forward ‘neath the wooded shrine
I stray not from the path
I hold Death’s hand in mine…Primal night giveth sight
Familiar by thy side
If Sun be gone, we carry on
Spirit as our guide…Down, down, down the road, down the Witches’ Road
Down the witches road, down the Witches’ Road
Down, down, down the road, down the Witches Road
Down the witches road, down the Witches’ Road
Down, down, down the road, down the Witches’ Road
Down the witches road, down the Witches’ Road
Blood and tears and bone
Maiden Mother CroneThe road is wild and wicked
Winding through the wood
Whеre all that’s wrong is right
And all that’s bad is good
Thorugh many miles of tricks and trials
Well wander high and low
Tame your fears, a door appears
The time has come to goDown, down, down the road, down the Witches’ Road
Down the witches road, down the Witches’ Road
Down, down, down the road, down the Witches’ Road
Down the witches road, down the Witches’ Road
Down, down, down the road, down the Witches’ Road
Down the witches road, down the Witches’ Road
Follow me, my friend
To glory at the end
The song made its debut at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event during the Disney Entertainment Showcase at the Honda Center. There, it was performed by Kathryn Hahn and other cast members from Agatha All Along. Daps Magic was on hand to cover the events of the weekend and captured this performance. It can be seen here:
In Agatha All Along, “the infamous Agatha Harkness finds herself down and out of power after a suspicious goth Teen helps break her free from a distorted spell. Her interest is piqued when he begs her to take him on the legendary Witches’ Road, a magical gauntlet of trials that, if survived, rewards a witch with what they’re missing. Together, Agatha and this mysterious Teen pull together a desperate coven, and set off down, down, down The Road…”
