lyrics

they led them out
four women bound
bound with rope
four stakes in the earth

they struggled
they wailed
they cried
they prayed
as they died
i howled
i wept
i cursed
i wailed
as they burnt

one day they’ll lead me out
a woman bound
bound with rope
a stake in the earth

and i’ll watch
all while
they gather the kindling around me
and struggle
and wail
and weep
with none to weep for me
but i won’t pray
all they’ll get is curses from me
and with my last breath
i swear i’ll take them all to hell with me

it’s quiet now
the fire died down
i’d take the bodies with me
but there’s no bodies left
the crowd has mostly gone now
home with smoke in their lungs
smoke and death
a heady combination
if i could tell them they were all wrong
would any even listen
all i can do is carry with me
the knowledge of my sisters
and when the new dawn comes
will these ashes even fade
you can kill a witch
but her memory remains

so what will you pay your way to heaven with
burnt bodies strewn
and bloodied limbs
you ask me how i let the devil in
as you push a knife underneath my skin
so tell me how i’ve sinned
and tell me how i should burn for it
string me up
weigh me down
it won’t save your soul
when you’re in the ground
if i burn you burn
i’ll take you all to hell with me
your prayer won’t save you when the devil calls
your prayer won’t save you now
i’ll take you all to hell with me
if i burn you burn
i’ll drag you all to hell with me

but still they burn
