Thankless little bitch, for the tears I cried
Take her down now, don't wanna see her face

All blistered and burned, can't hide my disgrace

Burn to ash and bone"

Coming to get you yeah, I'm coming to take you away
You witches are evil, you worship the Devil, so listen to what I say!
Peacefully come out your huts or I'll have you witches flayed
Must destroy you, play inside you, watch you wither away

Who's coming to get you, coming to take you away?

I find you guilty, witch-woman, 'cause I'm the Witchfinder-General!

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!"

—"Burning A Sinner", Witchfinder General
