The Witchtrain

The night of the living dead is coming… Take heed and lock your doors The witch trains blow the whistles As they leave the devils jaws. He strikes the boilers on this night He lets the witches catch his prey. They dress as zombie’s ghouls and ghosts But they are here to take you away The witch trains come to take your mind The bokor controls your undead life. The devil sends the zombie’s For undead flesh to hand out strife. The zombie has no thoughts to own He is controlled by higher authority. So lock your doors on the night of the dead Or the zombie will come and take thee. Use your mind, the one God gave you Put thoughts of good into your head Revile the zombie that eats your brain You don’t want to end up a living dead. © GG 15/10/2013 In south Africa the .witch trains. were believed to be staffed by Zombie workers controlled by witches that took the night time passengers and turned them into zombie slaves. In Vodou Bokor is a sorcerer that revives the dead and controls the mind.
