Burn the witch

"Kill the witch! Kill the witch!"

She just smirked and said,

"Light me up all you want

I will not stay dead"

"Burn the witch, burn her down!"

She held her head up high

"I will soon return my pain

Tooth for tooth, fry for fry"

"Burn the witch! Burn the witch!

Wash her off her sin!"

"Water is for scrubbing dirt

Fire makes you clean"

"Kill the witch! Burn the witch!"

She agreed anew,

"I'm not selfish with my flames

You can all shine too"
