WITCHFINDER GENERAL LYRICS
"Burning a Sinner" (1981 Single)
1. Burning a Sinner
2. Satan's Children
1. Burning a Sinner
A cart rolled through the town
And people all around
Gathered for the burning of the witch
They grit their teeth in anger
They raise their arms in fear
The burning stake was ready for that bitch
Singing burn her
Burn her
Burn her to the ground
Singing burn her sins
Burn her pride
Burn her till she dies
They tie her to the stake
People shout abuse
they want to hear the sizzling of her flesh
She looks at them and curses
each one of them in town
the execution flame put to the ground
Singing burns her . . .
You cannot see her body
Smoke is all around
all you hear is the sizzling of her flesh
Fire burns so quickly
Smoke begins to clear
Preacher man stood up, announced her dead
Singing burn her . . . x2
2. Satan's Children
Well there was a darkened grave at night
Yeah my thoughts are wild and out of sight
I heard a noise seep from the grave
Satan's come for me, turn around
As the old man shape?
His skin was sick 'n gray now
With bulging rage and burning sins
Could not stand them more now
To myself, oh what can I do?
The last thing here is blindness?
Can he not find me? Why did he lie to me?
Don`t you go away now
Satan said, "Now can you sleep."
Come with me, my towns free
Child of mine, you will be
Sex with girls, you know?
As the old man...
Need some time
Satan you got mine
Fine to be
Child of he
Our fortune bright
Grieving wives
God`s not here
Satan`s near
Hands a rose
Saved from now
Mercy he cried
But was it denied?
