They come with torches through the snow Calling every shadow proof Dragging names before the court Searching for the devil's root But I can hear them at the door I can smell their fear tonight Let them search beneath the floor Let them bring their holy light Burn the witch Burn the liar Cast her name into the fire Hang the wicked Cleanse the land Make them kneel and make them stand I watched them drag the innocent I watched them beg beneath the rope They think the devil walks among them They never knew how close he stood I wear the face they trust the most I speak the prayers they want to hear I bless the hands that light the wood And smile while they consume their fear Confession written in the blood Every accusation feeds me You call me evil, you call me cursed You built the fire, now watch me rise Let them hunt Let them condemn Let them kill their fellow men For every innocent they slaughter I will whisper one more name You came to Salem hunting witches You found exactly what you feared.
