“Burn the Witch” talks about discrimination in our society, making a parallel with the witch-hunts that used to happen in early ages. Shawn James sings by the perspective of a person considered by the Estate as a witch, but it’s a false accusation.
The metaphor can be seen on “What they don’t under...
[Verse 1]
The flames lick at my feet
Their hearts full of hate
What they don't understand, they condemn
What they can't comprehend must meet its end
[Chorus]
But I won't scream, won't give them that satisfaction
No, I won't confess my false interaction
As I breathe deep and prepare for my passing
I hear them chant, burn the witch
[Verse 2]
I stand accused of bein' in league with Satan
No proof for the false accusation
Tied to the stake, no hope of escape
I stand alone and embrace my fiery fate
[Chorus]
But I won't scream, won't give them that satisfaction
No, I won't confess my false interaction
As I breathe deep and prepare for my passing
I hear them chant, burn the witch
Oh, I won't scream, won't give them that satisfaction
I won't confess my false interaction
Now as I breathe deep and prepare for my passing
I hear them chant, burn the witch
[Outro]
Burn the witch, burn the witch
Burn the witch, burn the witch
