CULT OF THE HEADLESS WITCH
'Ghost of the headless witch'
Music: COTHW, lyrics: Jimmy Holmberg.
Accused of witchcraft,
she was sentenced to immediate death.
Forced down on her knees,
her hands tied behind her back.
As the crowd heard her final pleads,
the steel cut through her neck.
But I will avenge, I will stand tall,
I’ll get my revenge, as I kill you all.
I will avenge, I will stand tall,
I’ll get my revenge, ‘cause I will kill you all.
They unleashed a beast,
when they sent her to the afterlife.
They would all soon death meet,
those who killed the king’s old wife.
‘Cause I will avenge, I will stand tall,
I’ll get my revenge, as I kill you all.
I will avenge, I will stand tall,
I’ll get my revenge, ‘cause I will kill you all.
I will crush your churchly crosses.
I’ll tear your holy books apart.
I will burn your sacred houses.
I’ll rip out your evil hearts.
My lord, my king, how could you let them blind your mind?
My lord, my king, when was I ever nothing but the good queen by your side?
My lord, my king, I cannot recognize the hatred in your eyes.
My lord, my king, a king should be able to sort out evil lies.
Headless across the lands,
she haunted her every bane.
The fields turned into graves,
as each and everyone lay slain.
The living dead headless witch queen
was doomed by the gods of authority,
to wander the Earth until the end of times,
for killing holy men of the church divine.
No rest allowed for a soul of her kind,
so still, she walks with revenge in mind,
searching for the heirs of her banes,
even more filled with vengeful rage.
