Witch Hunt I
They called her a "witch",
Burned her at the stake
They took her life,
To save the human race
She claimed her innocence,
They laughed in her face
She is pure evil,
She must pay for every sin
Every little flaw,
Every imperfection
It's all her fault,
There is no one else to blame
Now she will die
Recognizing every shame
They had to humiliate her
Make her feel pain
She is the devil,
She must never rise again
Break her down inside,
Burn her alive,
Give her no hope to survive
She is a witch
Witches have to die
