[Brooding Verse] In the dark of the Puritan town, Whispers rise, and the rumors spread around. A girl in the woods, a voice in the night, Suddenly, the shadows come to life. They say she’s a devil, they say she’s a sin, A mark of evil’s where the fear begins. But the fire’s not of justice, it's a fire of rage, Burning the innocent, trapping them in a cage. [Chorus] Oh, the Salem fires burn so bright, Lighting the darkness, casting the night. Innocence lost to the witch’s name, Sacrificed in the name of shame. Oh, the Salem fires call and scream, In the ashes, they try to redeem. But the truth is buried deep in the flames, In the Salem fires, we’re the ones who’ve changed. [Verse] A girl cries out, “I did no wrong,” But they turn her words into a bitter song. The courtroom’s cold, the judge is blind, The innocent will never change their minds. A neighbor’s hatred, a friend’s betrayal, Accusations like a deadly hail. They point their fingers, they cast their stones, Leaving the broken, the lost, alone. [Chorus] Oh, the Salem fires burn so bright, Lighting the darkness, casting the night. Innocence lost to the witch’s name, Sacrificed in the name of shame. Oh, the Salem fires call and scream, In the ashes, they try to redeem. But the truth is buried deep in the flames, In the Salem fires, we’re the ones who’ve changed. [Bridge] And now we stand on the edge of time, Looking back on that bitter crime. Did they know what they’d done? Did they see the sun? Did they hear the cries of the broken ones? [Verse] The witches may fall, but the truth won’t fade, It’s written in the blood, in the price they paid. Let history tell what was done in the night, For justice was lost in the flames’ cruel light. [Chorus] Oh, the Salem fires burn so bright, Lighting the darkness, casting the night. Innocence lost to the witch’s name, Sacrificed in the name of shame. Oh, the Salem fires call and scream, In the ashes, they try to redeem. But the truth is buried deep in the flames, In the Salem fires, we’re the ones who’ve changed. [Bridge] And now we stand on the edge of time, Looking back on that bitter crime. Did they know what they’d done? Did they see the sun? Did they hear the cries of the broken ones? [Verse] The witches may fall, but the truth won’t fade, It’s written in the blood, in the price they paid. Let history tell what was done in the night, For justice was lost in the flames’ cruel light. [Chorus] Oh, the Salem fires burn so bright, Lighting the darkness, casting the night. Innocence lost to the witch’s name, Sacrificed in the name of shame. Oh, the Salem fires call and scream, In the ashes, they try to redeem. But the truth is buried deep in the flames, In the Salem fires, we’re the ones who’ve changed. [Rhythmic Instrumental] [Accordion Solo] [Build up to Chorus] Oh, the Salem fires burn so bright, Lighting the darkness, casting the night. Innocence lost to the witch’s name, Sacrificed in the name of shame. Oh, the Salem fires call and scream, In the ashes, they try to redeem. But the truth is buried deep in the flames, In the Salem fires We’re the ones who’ve changed! [Grand Finale]
