Antemasque - Burned All The Witches lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

My blood runs cold

Through the streets of New Orleans

And drink they will this bitter wine

Our fate burns

From torches pushing southbound

Unpunished goes no godly deed

(Pre-Chorus)

All I've ever done is hold the levee's thirst

How could you sit there

Just watching without a sound?

On that day, with our backs against the wall

Is that how drowned all your witches?

(Chorus x2)

Down in the ocean, one by one disappear

(Verse)

I built these bags,

Stacked them against the dam

Am I on the wrong side of this wall

And when the cracks appeared

The sirens serenaded

On just the wrong side of mercy

(Pre-Chorus)

All I've ever done was hold the levee's thirst

How could you sit there

Just watching without a sound?

On that day, with our backs against the wall

Is that how drowned all your witches?

(Chorus x2)

Down in the ocean, one by one disappear

(Interlude)

If you should find yourself against the current

And the lights of your eyes go green to dark again

Just listen for that hymn we've always sung

'Is that how you drowned all your witches?'

(Chorus x2)

Down in the ocean, one by one disappear
