lyrics

Dragged from their homes
Torches illuminate their faces
Garnish the stocks with their heads and their hands
Puritan corruption

Flogging bodies raw in haste
Wood and bones bending and breaking
Shackled in chains, confession is key
Branding the accused

Led to the water
Cast in, ridiculed, and left
Held fast to a pole on the bottom, last breath
A parting curse invoked

Years trickle past
Hysteria all but forgotten
A town’s shameful secret buried deep
Awake, necromancers

Guilt as a beacon
Spectres seeking retribution
Families flee, but there is no escaping
Their ancestors’ cruelty

Suffer in flames
Spontaneously combusting flesh
Your weeping will not be enough to douse
the bodies of your kin
