[Intro – Church Bell / Whisper] Bring her to the fire… [Verse 1] Torches burning in the night Shadows dancing in the light Drag her screaming through the square No salvation waiting there Blackened book beneath her bed Devil’s mark, the preacher said Tie her tight and raise the flame Let the fire cleanse her name [Pre-Chorus] She lifts her head She starts to grin “You fools don’t know What you let in!” [Chorus] BURN! BURN! BURN THE WITCH! Raise the flames up higher! BURN! BURN! BURN THE WITCH! Feed her to the fire! BURN! BURN! BURN THE WITCH! Hear the whole town cry! BURN! BURN! BURN THE WITCH! But witches never die! [Verse 2] Flames are climbing to the sky Still she laughs, she does not cry Through the smoke she speaks their names One by one into the flames “Preacher, judge and hangman too I’ll be coming back for you When the final ember dies Watch for me behind your eyes” [Pre-Chorus] The fire turns From red to black She screams one curse: “I’LL BE BACK!” [Chorus] BURN! BURN! BURN THE WITCH! Raise the flames up higher! BURN! BURN! BURN THE WITCH! Feed her to the fire! BURN! BURN! BURN THE WITCH! Hear the whole town cry! BURN! BURN! BURN THE WITCH! But witches never die! [Guitar Solo] [Bridge – Slow / Ominous] First came the preacher Dead in his bed Then came the hangman Missing his head The judge heard laughter Outside his door… Three were taken There’ll be more [Fast Riff] [Verse 3] Now the village locks its doors No one walks the streets no more Every night when midnight falls Someone hears her in the walls Ashes scatter through the town Footsteps when there’s no one around From the forest comes her cry: [High Scream] “DID YOU THINK THAT I WOULD DIE?” [Final Chorus] BURN! BURN! BURN THE WITCH! Raise the flames up higher! BURN! BURN! BURN THE WITCH! YOU set free the fire! BURN! BURN! BURN THE WITCH! Now you know the reason why BURN! BURN! BURN THE WITCH! THE WITCH WILL NEVER DIE! [Outro – Whisper] Burn me once… I’ll burn you all.
