The Stake

Who am I to stand in judgment?

For I too, am but a man

A constant whisper condemns me

For I've chosen not, which way to stand

You find her guilty, say you all

This evil practice, was Satan learned

So now you tie her to the stake

Thru innocent cries, this witch is burned

Sleepless nights, now haunt your minds

As you prepare for another trial

You claim the witch invades your dreams

As she screams her songs of denial

The color of her eyes are not quite right

So you say she's Satan's daughter

Instead of her right hand she uses her left

Which means another witch to slaughter

I dare not stand in judgment

Though you say I must choose sides

You say that I'm Satan's apprentice

In league with one of his brides

One more stake has been prepared

The flames now scream my name

Ignorance is judged when time's no more

And you won't have the witches to blame
