about

A theatrical rock track that reimagines an abuser’s twisting of the truth to protect their own skin as a witch trial of bygone eras. Whilst the victim is accused of witchcraft and burned alive at the stake, she vows to rise again and fight back against her assailants.

lyrics

Burn
Burn her, burn
Burn the witch
Burn her, burn her

You can make me burn
Burn me at the stake
But you just lit a fire under me
And now I’m truly awake
Persecute me with your lies
But even your lynch mob will see in time
That while you burn me through
You know the devil lives within you

You can make me
Burn
Watch me as I burn
Men like you never learn
I’ll always return
You can lead me to the stake
But I am wide awake
You won’t silence me
Even while you burn me
Burn me

You can wave your torch
As though it makes you right
But you just lit this red hot passion
That’s urging me to fight
Throw your stones and do your worst
I won’t pretend like it doesn’t hurt
But while you burn me through
I know the devil lies within you

Girls like me were born in flame

You can make me
Burn
Watch me as I burn
Men like you never learn
I’ll always return
You can lead me to the stake
But I am wide awake
You won’t silence me
Even while you burn me
Burn me

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
It’s me and my sisters
In which I trust
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
It’s me and my sisters
In which I trust
And on the witching hour
Like a newborn flower
From the ashes
We will rise
Rise, rise
Rise, rise, rise

Burn
You can make me burn
Men like you never learn
I’ll always return
You can lead me to the stake
But I am wide awake
You won’t silence me
Even while you burn me
Burn me
Burn me!
