Burn the Witch Lyrics


For thousands of years

We've ruled this land

with an iron fist

and calloused hands

But now a shadow looms

over our perfect breed

Born from the tears and blood of a slave

With invisible chains

She screamed and stomped

As we got drunk with lust

Laughing at her shock,

Draining to the last drop

Until a lilac rain

woke her up from  a dreamful sleep

Breaking her ties

A spell is boiling inside

It's time to hunt the witch

Before she kills us all

It's time to hunt the witch

Until her voice is torn

It's time to burn the witch

'Cause she believes we're wrong

It's time to burn the witch

and let her corpse hang on

With grace and hex

She'll trick our children into

fight against their own.

It's how the tale's been told

since our ancestors' dawn

And you know it could be worse

Or not?

She doubts

We've won

It's time to hunt the witch

Before she kills us all

It's time to hunt the witch

Until her voice is torn

It's time to burn the witch

'Cause she believes we're wrong

It's time to burn the witch

and let her corpse hang on

So this is how it ends

and this is how it feels

to stare into the face of death

while fire licks my feet

On a pile of smoked bones

and my sisters crisp flesh

That smell...

That smell...

I am seamstress

I am womb

I am queen and I am not

I am suffragette and Amazon

who rides against all odds

With my hands tied to a pole

Now you look me in the eye

For every witch you burn

another thousand more will rise!

It's time to hunt the witch

Before she kills us all

It's time to hunt the witch

Until her voice is torn

It's time to burn the witch

'Cause she believes we're wrong

It's time to burn the witch

and let her corpse hang on

Burn the witch!

(Before she kills us all...)

Burn the witch!

(Until her voice is torn...)

Burn the witch!

('Cause she believes we're wrong...)

Burn the witch!

And let her corpse hang on..
