Tiger Moth - The Salem Witch Trials (Malleus Maleficarum)

The God-fearing folks of Salem
Ain't feeling too well
They're coughing and convulsing
As if at the gates of Hell

Something isn't right
Salem has gone foul
The clouds are closing in
And the wind begins to HOWL

There are witches here amongst us
Something must be done
To rid the town of Salem
Of the Infernal One

First we'll lock them up
Make sure they can't get loose
Then we'll lead these ladies
To the hangman's noose

If you don't believe in witches
Then you don't believe in God
Must get them to the gallows
To hang for being odd

She's as odd as two left legs
She's as odd as a duck called Dave
I've seen her casting spells
Her soul cannot be saved!

The Devil is amongst us
Poisoning our flock
Must get her to the court and
We'll stand her in the dock.

She says she's innocent
But we'll make her repent
There's only one concern
That hanging's too good-
So let the witch BURN

So bind their arms behind them
'Cos the time is nigh
The time is for justice
Bring the noose nice and high!

She's starting to pray
But it's all an act
She'll go back to Satan
With whom she made a pact

If you don't believe in witches
Then you don't believe in God
Must get them to the gallows
To hang for being odd

She's as odd as two left legs
She's as odd as a duck called Dave
I've seen her casting spells
Her soul cannot be saved!

They've kicked away the ladder
And she's tearing at the rope
Fair play, she's got fight
Never giving up hope

Now life is draining out
She's death-bound no doubt
Her rocking, swollen head
Is well and truly Faaaaahahahhhh!

The witch is truly dead
But some still afflictions
So we've brought in a priest
To give them benedictions

The curses still remain
Oh, here we go again
So grab the next recluse
Her neck needs a noose

If you don't believe in witches
Then you don't believe in God
Must get them to the gallows
To hang for being odd

She's as odd as two left legs
She's as odd as a duck called Dave
I've seen her casting spells
Her soul cannot be saved!

If you don't believe in witches
Then you don't believe in God
Must get them to the gallows
To hang for being odd

She's as odd as two left legs
She's as odd as a duck called Dave
I've seen her casting spells
Her soul cannot be saved!
