“Zephyra The Witch” is a gothic industrial metal story about a mother forced into the shadows to protect the daughter she was never allowed to raise. Set in a world of black vans, secret files, government whispers, and forbidden bloodlines, the song follows Zephyra as she watches from the edges of her child’s life, unseen but never absent.
The track blends dark maternal sacrifice with supernatural resistance, turning the witch archetype into something tragic, protective, and dangerous. Zephyra is not a distant myth or fairytale villain. She is a hunted mother, an exile, and a hidden guardian using every curse, spell, and secret she has to keep her daughter alive while the world hunts their bloodline.
As the song builds from chant-like invocation into a violent, cinematic breakdown, the story shifts from secrecy to revelation. The daughter finally sees the mother who has been protecting her all along, and Zephyra steps out of the shadows. By the final chorus, the hunted are no longer broken or afraid. Mother and daughter stand together, crowned in fire, mist, and survival.

Zephyra
In the background, she spies
Zephyra
Her secrets, their crimes
Zephyra
Protector, she cries
Zephyra
Spellcasting lifelines
A daughter, the hunted
Her mother, the wanted
A daughter, the hidden
Her birthright forbidden
She walked through cameras
With a face they forgot
Burned every file
But they still traced the rot
Black vans at midnight
Names with no breath
Governments whisper
And bargain with death
She knew their symbols
She knew what they fed
She knew what was buried
Beneath every thread
Carrying a heartbeat
Under her ribs
A future too bright
For a world such as this
So she left her on a doorstep
Wrapped in moonlight and rain
One kiss on her forehead
Then vanished again
Zephyra, be swift now
Your power, blessed be thou
Her birthright, disallowed
In shadows, a broken bough
Zephyra, don’t break now
Their hounds are closing in now
Spellfire beneath the ground
No grave can hold you down
Zephyra the witch
She watched from reflections
In glass and chrome
A mother in shadows
With no right to home
A hand on the stairwell
A curse in the street
A truck ran the red light
Then bent at her feet
The girl never saw her
The danger was gone
Just thunder behind her
Then silence at dawn
Her parents held parties
And kissed every bruise
While somewhere above them
The witch paid her dues
Every monster sent for her
Fell without a name
Every prayer she never heard
Still answered just the same
Zephyra, be swift now
Your power, blessed be thou
Her birthright, disallowed
In shadows, a broken bough
Zephyra, don’t break now
Their hounds are closing in now
Spellfire beneath the ground
No grave can hold you down
Zephyra the witch
Black suits
White lights
No doors
No rights
They came for the bloodline
They came for the child
They came with the dead eyes
Professionally mild
Mother unseen
Mother unknown
Mother in exile
Mother alone
Door kicked open
Sirens scream
Adopted father
Falls between
Mother rises
Veil torn wide
Daughter sees her
For the first time
“Run to me.”
Zephyra
No more hiding
Zephyra
No more crying
Zephyra
Mother, monster
Zephyra
Bloodline, fire
Black suits burning
Walls collapse
No more shadows
No turning back
Zephyra, be swift now
Your power, blessed be thou
Her birthright, spoken loud
No longer a broken bough
Zephyra, stand tall now
The hunted are holy now
Mother and daughter crowned
No grave can hold them down
Zephyra the witch
Zephyra the witch
Zephyra the witch
Mother and daughter
Disappear in the mist
