Note from me:
Before you start reading, I would like to disclose that this "song" is purely fictional, and has dark undertones. It can be triggering to some.
I am blessed and/or cursed with nightmares and dreams every night. Call Me Ms. G! is one of the songs that play in my nightmares. The second is Forgive Me, Father; the third song is In Christ We Trust; the fourth is Blessed be; and the fifth is Burn, Witch!
Unfortunately, I cannot remember the melody during my waking hours. All I remember was that the genre would most likely fall under Gothic Rock.
Anyway, in my manic state, I got up at 3 am every day to write down the lyrics!
Would you believe me when I say that it's a whole album?
In my nightmares, I remember perusing through "the variant" of Spotify. Then I saw the album Holier than thou - The Nightmare Melodies.
Well, here's the fifth song on that album! Enjoy :)
P.S. the album logo is almost identical to my book cover House of Trials - Soul Exchange
P.P.S. If you would like to know first what this song is about, scroll down and read my note :)
Burn, Witch!
Gather around folks
And learn a lesson or two!
In this little town
We have a few rules
The rules keep us safe
From the Devil who tempts
Questions about your beliefs
Show signs of the weak
Cut the weak from the herd
Lest we all be ill
We sing the songs of the angels
Praise the Mighty He
The powerful us guarantee
That all will be blind to see
People who seek wisdom
Are sent to the fiery pits
So, burn, Witch!
Lest we all be ill
Within these walls
You see constraints
Haha!
Yes, you may be right!
Would you like to fight
For the freedom you gave up
So, you can feel secure at night
About the sins you've passed onto
The generations to come?
We sing the songs of the angels
Praise the Mighty He!
"Blessed be," we sing
"Blessed be," you sing
The powerful us guarantee
That you all will be blind to see
That we send those who question
To the fiery pits
So, burn, Witch!
Burn, burn, burn!
Lest we all be ill
Lest we all be ill
Maybe one night you'll wake
With sweat down your neck
Was this the right way to live?
Was this the right place to breed?
But questions about your beliefs
Show signs of the weak
Cut the weak from the herd
Lest we all be ill
We sang the songs of the angels
Oh, Mighty is Me!
So, burn, Witch!
Burn, burn, burn!
Lest we all be ill
Lest we all be ill
How did this song come about? What was the nightmare?
This whole album is about a small town. They are isolated from the rest of society and are only taught things that their council deems appropriate - even going as far as twisting religion.
The fifth song signifies how the Council exercises its power over its people:
- If one of them tries to fight the corruption, they are immediately cut from the herd just like Little Gina was (Call me Ms. G! & In Christ, We Trust).
- And when problems arise within the walls, they are often neglected and swept under the rug (Forgive me, Father).
