Witches Burn


Witches Burn is a song from the perspective of a lady who would be regarded as a witch in the olden days. She’s unafraid, she speaks her mind, and the one time she does obey a man, she ends up killing him. She burns because of these acts, referencing the Salem Witch Trials.
Genius

"Witches Burn" è una canzone dalla prospettiva di una donna che nei tempi antichi sarebbe considerata una strega. Lei non ha paura, parla liberamente, e l'unica volta che obbedisce a un uomo, finisce per ucciderlo. Viene bruciata a causa di questi atti, in riferimento ai Processi alle Streghe di Salem.
Welcome back to the days of old
Where the men are men and the women are sold
Unwilling sacrifice, I'll fuck you for a price
They kill 'em young so they never get old

They lock the doors and pull down the shades
After the dark, they are always afraid
But I go out at night, I won't apologize
There's a price I'll pay

For this I'll burn
For this I'll burn
One thing I've learned, you'll get your turn
All witches burn
All witches burn
All witches burn

Don't know much about a pagan god
If you think you're better than me, I know you're not
But I'll do what you say, I'm learning to obey
Down on my knees when you call me a dog

'Til I get close enough for a blade
To stick it in, then I'll spit on your grave
I'm smiling all the while, you won't be at the trial
But there's a price I'll pay

For this I'll burn
For this I'll burn
One thing I've learned, you'll get your turn
All witches burn
All witches burn
All witches burn

Down and down and down we go
Scatter the ashes in the shape of the soul
The dark will have its day
But there's a price I'll pay

For this I'll burn
For this I'll burn
One thing I've learned, you'll get your turn
All witches burn
All witches burn
All witches burn
All witches burn
All witches burn
All witches burn
All witches burn
All witches burn
