The Tragedy of Macbeth

The Weird Sisters - were three witches - who said to Macbeth

Fair is foul - and foul is fair - ah yes

You’ll be king soon - but you gotta guess

Is the queen behind - the tragedy of Macbeth

Is the queen behind - the tragedy of Macbeth

Is the queen behind - the tragedy of Macbeth

 

Such strange intelligence - imperfect speakers make some sense

Look into the seeds of time - draw daggers of the mind

 

Enter Lady - icy raven - unsex me here

Macbeth’s nature - is far too kind - I fear

Direst cruelty - is what I shall hold dear

Give me daggers - and you shall have no peer

 

Such slaughterous thoughts - pronounce perfect death

And with his former title - you will greet Macbeth

 

Who to kill now - how to get there - to fall down or o’erleap

Let not light see - my desires - black and deep

Vaulting ambition - rises like a thief

I must seem relaxed - but hold the serpent underneath

 

The bloody business done - the torment’s just begun

The haunting spots remain - such scorpions of the brain

 

Treacherous murders - to be safely thus - what did the witches say

None of women born - will harm Macbeth - today

You will never lose - or be vanquished until

Great Birnam Wood - rises to Dunsinane Hill

 

Oh now his knoll is knoll’d - as the midnight hags foretold

Mr. Macduff gives Mr. Macbeth - a bloody headless death

 

The Weird Sisters - where three witches - who said to Macbeth

Fair is foul - and foul is fair - ah yes

You’ll be king soon - but you gotta guess

Is the queen behind - the tragedy of Macbeth

Is the queen behind - the tragedy of Macbeth

Is the queen behind - the tragedy of Macbeth

 

Sha - sha - sha - hurly - sha - sha - sha - burly

Sha - sha - the early bird is gonna get it done

Sha - sha - sha - hurly - sha - sha - sha - burly

Sha - sha - the early worm is waiting with a gun
