SALEM
They have destroyed their witches in Salem.
The Devil’s own have perished
from the face of the earth.
Burned, hanged, and whipped were they,
for they worshipped not the Lord’s Almighty Name.
And thus was justice and religion served.
Deaf as the dead and deafer yet,
blind as in darkness, that descends
upon the land, beneath the blackened Sun,
they listened not to their protests;
they searched not deep to claim the truth
- to demons we must not succumb:
confusion is their fav’rite game
and doubtfulness their masterpiece…-
So wipe them all! Let there not stay
one witch that will not hang or fry,
and mute their lips; let them not cry
out loud their innocence, nor pray!
