 For the Salem Witch
 

In shackles and chains
Fate had sentenced you
Your crime was misfortune
Your friends were nothing more than vapors
When they condemned you

The Devil had summoned you
Through the mouths of others
Fear became your final solution
When midnight thundered in the village
You gave your soul away

Then as they slithered close to you
Hate drew its black battle lines
With the losers staring each other in the eyes
And bloody tears trailed down your face
While the remaining fragments of your soul were being washed away

Maybe they should have stopped it sooner
As the devil smiled across your face
And with the cold gentle kiss of death
Your soul became black tuffs of smoke
And the Banshee came for your remains
