The Kindred (salem 1692) Lyrics - Elvira Madigan

[Narrator:] 

Evil perished the day 

Or so they thought when there stood in pale 

On trial with hands tied to her back 

All but a child told to be taught of herecy 

[The Onlooker:] 

The demons in cloaks arrive and light the pyres high 

Whilst hiding behind the doctrine built on scriptures of lies 

The wicked Kindred watch with pride 

With the icon of their malice at side 

None here will regret today 

As virtue ends up lost in flames 

[The Elders Of The Village:] 

So You've come here to slay all the witches? 

On Your mission straight from God 

To justify Your faith it seems our women at the stakes must die 

[The Onlooker & The Wise Man:] 

Tears all mingle with her blood 

Does fall for the teachings from above 

With torture meant to drive us all to the shackles of their lies 

For all are sinners in the eyes of God 

Until we all belong to the likes of Him 

(With devine right) To see to it that all nonebelievers die 

[High Priest To His Loyal Subjects:] 

Bring them to their knees 

For to spread the gospels the best tool is fear of God 

And all the sins we do create to keep them all at bay 

And have them pay in blood and finally their beliefs 

[The Inquisitors To The Villagers:] 

In this year of our Lord, by the grace of our hordes 

We have come to save You from Your afterlife 

Though most of You will die, be sure though to abide 

Salvation lies after a lifetime of submission 

[The Villagers:] 

Are we to pay in blood and all our wealth 

For plain intimidation of this hell? 

When facing all the wealth we here possess 

This image of Your God seems so much less 

[With Hindsight:] 

But we were given no choice.
