Don't burn the witch let them brew their song
Main Riff 2 (twice through)
Verse 2
The witches of the blackened arts are cunning, cruel and mean
Persecuted by religion, God the man unseen
Beastial malevolence is chartered in their bones
Leave the unreal house of God and burn in Hell at home

Riff 2 (two times)
Verse 3
The witches make the voodoo doll, a toy taboo in heaven
They dance around the pentagram, in search of rape by Satan
Leave the heart and blood of men in cauldrons laced in Sin
Add the arsenic, hemlock, pus, Triumph takes the wings
Chorus
