Witch Hunt |
| The night is black, without a moon |
| The air is thick and still |
| The vigilantes gather on |
| The lonely torch-lit hill |
| Features distorted in the flickering light |
| Faces are twisted and grotesque |
| Silent and stern in the sweltering night |
| The mob moves like demons possessed |
| Quiet in conscience, calm in their right |
| Confident their ways are best |
| Oh, oh! |
| The righteous rise with burning eyes |
| Of hatred and ill-will |
| Madmen fed on fear and lies |
| To beat and burn and kill |
| They say there are strangers who threaten us |
| Our immigrants and infidels |
| They say there is strangeness to danger us |
| In our theaters and bookstore shelves |
| That those who know what’s best for us |
| Must rise and save us from ourselves! |
| Quick to judge, quick to anger |
| Slow to understand |
| Ignorance and prejudice |
| And fear walk hand in hand |
