lyrics

Hold the gallows, save the innocent souls
Decapitate the crown and no more heads shall roll
spark the flame, many moon to the day
burn The throne, save the witches from the stake

Right up from the roots, her tree has seen the worst
generations pass, share the same deadly thirst
to break the chain is a dangerous game
it's not easy to be the first
but to keep the train on the tracks is stay and inherit the curse

Take it apart piece by piece
crack the skull and dissect the brain
only to find the jury was wrong
the killer was not insane
not a killer at all
but a man that knew love, and could teach the value of pain
A man dragged down to the depths and returned just to be shot down again
