Old Maid |
They called her evil |
Hung her from a tree |
Mistook her medicine |
For wicked sorcery |
Wiley old woman |
With no family of her own |
To Hell with Christians |
May they reap what they have sown |
For weeks her captors held her |
In a dungeon dark and damp |
Her body broken |
Thumbs pulverized by clamps |
Yet her mind was strong |
For no wrong had she done |
She feared not life or death |
Her purpose became one: |
Reject the teachings of a greedy perverse church |
Spreading subordinance and lies of virgin birth |
She’d taught the secrets of the forests, seas and skies |
The cycles of the moon |
And all the earth provides |
Captured when her heathen home was raided |
Turned in by the villagers she'd aided |
And when they took her |
To the oak tree where she'd hang |
She raised her bloodied head |
In crystal voice she sang |
«Dīs Pater, Spirits of the dead |
I fear not what awaits |
For just's the life I've lead |
May your guilt |
Live deep within your blood |
May stress and cancers blossom |
As a flower buds!» |
Now we wonder where the worlds magic has gone |
We search the continents for some truth to hang on |
But I know we've lost much knowledge once possessed |
Burned, broken, hung |
By Christ our Lord suppressed |
Burned, broken, hung |
Let Jesus' will be done |
