Without Ceremony And Bell Toll Lyrics

Without Ceremony And Bell Toll lyrics

Summer 1657
A tailor's daughter in pain - bewitched
A healer had told
that the witch will be revealed
Before sundown a woman known as evil
appeard

"That bitch must have done it.
She must be the
offspring of satan himself"

Despite the accusitions she offered to
help
And poured a potion all over her
All of a sudden she started to
shake
The birth of four frog-like creatures was seen

"She
threatened me that inside I would melt
'cos I didn't give her butter" -
the poor girl yelled
So the witch was bound in heavy chains.
And
taken to the court as a servant of hell

"I met a mysterious black
man.
He kissed me and taught how to do harm"

As interrogation
and torture went on.
Heard the good people of the court horrible things
Thirteen years as servant of satan.
A whore and a right hand to the dark
prince

Sabbaths, or devotions to the devil
Were held on a small
nearby hill
At the peak of the torment
She turned in a few who had
been there

"I met a mysterious black man.
He kissed me and
taught how to do harm"

343 days she spent in prison.
While the
court sentenced her to death
A morning when the summer was at its
warmest.
She was taken out and beheaded with another witch

Burned to ashes, spat on, despised
Buried into a hole outside of the
holy ground
Shamefully she was laid to rest
Without ceremony and bell
toll
