Bryanna Wynn - Fires of Fear (Witch) Lyrics

They taught us witches are evil
Not the flames from their own steeple
Whispers in the dark they spread
But it was their torches that we dread
Told us to fear the midnight air
But not the church's cruel despair
Women and rebels faced the fire
While holy hands held burning pyres
Taught to fear the clergy's lie
Pages torn from books we rely
Burning fires flicker high
Innocent under accusing sky
While witches danced in moonlight's gleam
Truth was buried in the church's dream
In the dark they built a pyre
Claimed holy justice, fueled by ire
Children laughed in the town square
Blind to the fire's cruel glare
They sang hymns to drown the cries
Fires kissed the moonlit skies
Magic was a crime they swore
But it was their zeal that struck the core
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
In piety's name, they claimed it just
Torches blazed in silent night
All their wrongs hidden from sight
Burning fires flicker high
Innocent under accusing sky
While witches danced in moonlight's gleam
Truth was buried in the church's dream
In the dark they built a pyre
Claimed holy justice fueled by ire
Children laughed in the town square
Blind to the fire's cruel glare
They sang hymns to drown the cries
Fires kissed the moonlit skies
Magic was a crime they swore
But it was their zeal that struck the core
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
In piety's name they claimed it just
Torches blazed in silent night
All their wrongs hidden from sight
All their wrongs hidden from sight
All their wrongs hidden from sight
They sang hymns to drown the cries
Fires kissed the moonlit skies
Magic was a crime they swore
But it was their zeal that struck the core
Tales of wands and witches brew
But the flames they lit were true
Stories whispered dark and blue
Hidden truths out of view
In the robes of piety they stood
Lighting pyres with dried-out wood
Golden crosses stained with blood
Justice masked with a hood
