Yeah, that's English. "Mightn't" is an archaic word which is sometimes fun to use. Saying "it be" is using the subjunctive mood in "to be", also seldom used, but you use it correctly here. I just learned about the English subjunctive a little while ago; it has greatly improved my understanding of those wierd constructs involving "might" and "lest".
