lyrics

WITCHBURNING

As black wind changes
With torches and curses
The mob pursues her
Brings her to ground
The innocent
So helpless
So helpless

Deep within, they know
Their own wickedness
Yet they refuse - they ignore

Empowered by numbers
Hypocrisy enraged -- frenzied
Purpose drawn from that evil they fear
With the heavens as witness

She’s a witch, they shout - burn her
The devil’s own, they roar - burn her
Satan’s harlot, they cry - burn her, burn her
She’s a witch, they shout - burn her
The devil’s own, they roar - burn her
Satan’s harlot, they cry - burn her, burn her
Consequences be damned

Rough hands bind her
Fastened to the post
Pyre bellows acrid smoke
She flails
Trembling and confused
The sacrifice burning
The sacrifice burning

Deep within, they know
Their own wickedness
Purposed naiveté
For which they will answer

Terrified, she sobs
Lace and flesh burns
She screams
And wonders why

She’s a witch, they shout - burn her
The devil’s own, they roar - burn her
Satan’s harlot, they cry - burn her, burn her
She’s a witch, they shout - burn her
The devil’s own, they roar - burn her
Satan’s harlot, they cry - burn her, burn her
By consequences they are damned

The truth forsaken by the self-righteous
Dictating that which they know not
At the cost her life
At the cost of their souls
Intensifying their own
Burning beyond
